A novel antimicrobial triterpenic acid from the leaves of Ficus benjamina (var. comosa)

AbstractThe chloroform extract of the leaves of Ficus benjamina (var. comosa) (Moraceae) afforded a new triterpenic acid named as (9,11), (18,19)-disecoolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1) along with β-amyrin (2). Their structures were established on the basis of chemical and physical evidences (IR, 1H NMR, and MS data). The compound 1 exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC-98), Candida albicans (IAO-109), Staphylococcus aureus (IAO-SA-22), Escherichia coli (K-12) and low activity against Aspergillus niger (lab isolate ICAR) and Aspergillus brassicola

Cholest-5-en-3β-yl N-phenyl­carbamate

In the title compound, C34H51NO2, the dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl ring and the carbonyl group is 9.30 (2)°. No significant inter­molecular inter­actions are observed in the crystal structure. The C5H11 fragment is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.611 (6) and 0.389 (6)

Cyclo­hexane-1,3-diyl bis­(N-phenyl­carbamate)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C20H22N2O4, comprises two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B) with slightly different geometries. The dihedral angle between the two terminal phenyl rings is 61.7 (1)° in mol­ecule A and 29.6 (1)° in B. The cyclo­hexane rings adopt chair conformations. In the crystal packing, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds inter­connect adjacent mol­ecules into a ladder-like structure along the c axis incorporating R 2 2(20) ring motifs. The crystal packing is further stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions

Redetermination of ethyl (3a-cis)-3a,8b-dihydr­oxy-2-methyl-4-oxo-3a,8b-dihydro-4H-indeno[1,2-b]furan-3-carboxyl­ate monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, C15H14O6·H2O, has been redetermined from single-crystal X-ray data. The structure was originally determined by Peet et al. [J. Heterocycl. Chem. (1995), 32, 33–41] but the atomic coordinates were not reported or deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database. The ethyl substituent is disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.815 (6) and 0.185 (6). The indeno group is almost planar [maximum deviation 0.0922 (14) Å] and makes an angle of 68.81 (4)° with the furan ring. The fused ring molecules are assembled in pairs by intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The resulting dimers are also hydrogen bonded to the water molecules, forming double-stranded chains running along the a axis

9-(3,4-Dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexa­hydroxanthene-1,8(2H)-dione

In the title compound, C21H22O5, the mean planes of the pyran and dimeth­oxy­phenyl rings are nearly perpendicular to one another, with the dihedral angle between them being 88.21 (8)°. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation whereas the two fused cyclo­hexane rings adopt envelope conformations. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATIONAND ANTIMICROBIALACTIVITYOF FRIEDELIN [2, 3-d] SElENADIAZOlE

ABSTRACT The new 1, 2, 3, selenadiazole derivative (3) was prepared from friedelin (1) via the co"esponding semicarbazone (2) using Lalezari cyclization. The compounds were prepared, separated and characterized on the basis of microanalysis and spectral studies. The isolated friedelin and its selenadiazole were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activities against various pathogenic bacterial were found to be highly active against al/ the selected pathogens. Compound 3 showed an inhibition zone of 14 mm and 12 mm respectively against highly resistant S. albus and C. albicans. A general mechanistic scheme for these reactions is also suggested based on current and previous results

3-(2-Amino-5-nitro­anilino)-5,5-dimethyl­cyclo­hex-2-en-1-one 0.25-hydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H17N3O3·0.25H2O, comprises two independent organic mol­ecules and a water mol­ecule lying on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis with 50% site occupancy. In both independent mol­ecules, the cyclo­hexene rings adopt envelope conformations but superposition of the two molecules shows that the flap atoms point in opposite directions. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds inter­connect adjacent mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network. Weak inter­molecular π–π aromatic stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.4985 (9) and 3.6630 (9) Å] are also observed

9-(3,4-Dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra­methyl-4,5,6,9-tetra­hydro-3H-xanthene-1,8(2H,7H)-dione

The asymmetric unit of the title xanthene compound, C25H30O5, contains two mol­ecules in which the pyran ring and the dimeth­oxy­phenyl ring are nearly perpendicular to one another [dihedral angles = 86.81 (8) and 84.45 (9)°]. One of the meth­oxy groups in one mol­ecule is twisted away from the phenyl ring [C—O—C—C torsion angle = −103.40 (16)°]. The pyran ring adopts a boat conformation whereas the two fused cyclo­hexane rings adopt envelope conformations in both mol­ecules. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

2-Hy­droxy-2-(3-oxobutan-2-yl)indan-1,3-dione

In the indane ring system of the title mol­ecule, C13H12O4, the hy­droxy-bearing C atom is 0.134 (1) Å out of the plane of the remaining essentially planar atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 Å). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into chains along the b axis by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Additional stabilization is provided by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

3a,8a-Dihy­droxy-1,3,3a,8a-tetra­hydro­indeno­[1,2-d]imidazole-2,8-dione

In the title mol­ecule, C10H8N2O4, the imidazolidine ring adopts a twisted conformation. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked via a pair of bifurcated inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an inversion dimer. The dimers are further linked via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a tape along the b axis
