    Leaves of Juglans regia L. collected from two different locations [Adana (A) and Ankara (BA from Turkey were subjected to hydrodistillation in a Clevenger type apparatus to yield the essential oils (EOs). GC/MS and GC-FID analyses revealed that the A EO was rich in thymol (23.1%), while caryophyllene oxide (33.8%) was found as the main constituent of B EO. Both contained beta-eudesmol (1.4% - 9.5%), (E)-geranyl acetone (3.7% - 5.8%) and the eudesmane type constituent juglaterpene A (3.1% - 11.0%). Using a HP Innowax preparative capillary column connected to a preparative fraction collector, an unknown constituent, juglaterpene A (1, 11-hydroxy-2,4-cycloeudesmane), was isolated in a rapid one-step manner with > 94.0% purity. Structure determination was accomplished from 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data. Oil B demonstrated significant larvicidal activity against 1st instar Aedes aegypti L

    WOS: 000413128900002PubMed ID: 28738242The genus Centaurea L. (Asteraceae) is represented by 200 taxa in the flora of Turkey and several Centaurea species are used as herbal remedies against different conditions. Previous phytochemical investigations on this genus generally revealed the isolation of sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoid derivatives. In our continuous search on Centaurea genus, a phytochemical study was performed on Centaurea polyclada DC., an endemic of West Anatolia. Previously undescribed two sesquiterpene-amino acid conjugates, an elemane and an eudesmane derivative were isolated from the aerial parts of Centaurea polyclada, together with eight known compounds; two elemane derivatives, three flavonoids, a lignan, a phenolic glucoside and a phenylpropanoid glucoside. Structural elucidation of the compounds was based on spectroscopic evidence, including 1D and 2D NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry, chemical degradation results and reference data comparison. Sesquiterpene-amino acid conjugates are representatives of an unusual group of sesquiterpenes, and elemane-amino acid conjugates are herein reported for the first time in nature.

    Biotransformation of cyclocanthogenol by the endophytic fungus Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1

    The microbial transformation of cyclocanthogenol (CCG), Astragalus sp. originated sapogenin, by the endophytic fungus Alternaria eureka 1E1BL1 isolated from Astragalus angustifolius was investigated. Hydroxylation, oxidation, epoxidation, O-methylation, ring-expansion and methyl migration reactions were observed on the triterpenoid skeleton. As a result, eight metabolites were isolated and the structures of the previously undescribed compounds were established by 1-D, 2-D NMR and HR-MS analyses.TUBITAK (114Z958
