Abstract:
One new ursane-type triterpenoid (1), one new ursane-type triterpenoid glycoside (2), and one new oleanane-type triterpenoid glycoside (3), along with 20 known compounds, were isolated from the leaves of Ilex cornuta. The structures of these natural products were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses and chemical derivation. Our biological evaluation established that selective compounds showed moderate to significant antioxidant activities in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) methods.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
