Two epimeric friedelane triterpenes isolated from Maytenus truncata Reiss : 1H and 13C chemical shift assignments.

An NMR study of 3˛- and 3ˇ-friedelinol is described. In addition to conventional 1D NMR methods, 2D shift-correlated NMR experiments HMQC [(1J(C,H)], HMBC [nJ(C,H); n D 2 and 3] and 2D 1H,1H-NOESY were used for 1H and 13C chemical shift assignments of these triterpenes

Estudo fitoquímico do decocto das folhas de Maytenus truncata Reissek e avaliação das atividades antinociceptiva, antiedematogênica e antiulcerogênica de extratos do decocto Phytochemical study of the decoct from the leaves of Maytenus Truncata Reissek and the evaluation of the antinociceptive, antiedematogenic and antiulcerogenic activities of the decoct extracts

<abstract language="eng">The present paper describes the phytochemical investigation and biological activities of the chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of leaf decocts of M. truncata Reiss (Celastraceae). Our studies afforded two flavonoid glycosides, quercetin-3-O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-glucopyranosyl- O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-galactopyranoside (1) and kampferol-3-O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-glucopyranosyl- O-rhamnopyranosyl-O-galactopyranoside (2) from the methanolic extract and dulcitol (3) from the ethyl acetate extract. Ethyl acetate and methanol extracts exhibited considerable antiulcerogenic and analgesic activities. The results of the phytochemical studies suggest that the healing activity of methanol extracts can be related to the presence of glycosyl flavonoids
