Reaction of 2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-dioxaphosphorinane with phenyl azide
1. The reaction of 2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-dioxaphosphorinane with phenyl azide yields 5-phenylamino-2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-dioxaphorinane and 5-phenylimino-5-phenylamino-2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-dioxaphosphorinane in yields depending on the reagent ratio. 2. The stereoisomer with axial orientation of the amino group predominates in the equilibrium of 5-phenylamine, 5-diethylamino-, 5-piperidino-, and 5-morpholino-2,4,6-triisopropyl-l,3,5-dioxaphosphorinane and their sulfides. © 1984 Plenum Publishing Corporation
Chemical characterization and anti-inflammatory effect of rauvolfian, a pectic polysaccharide of Rauvolfia callus
The pectic polysaccharide named rauvolfian RS was obtained from the dried callus of Rauvolfia serpentina L. by extraction with 0.7% aqueous ammonium oxalate. Crude rauvolfian RS was purified using membrane ultrafiltration to yield the purified rauvolfian RSP in addition to glucan as admixture from the callus, with molecular weights 300 and 100-300 kD, respectively. A peroral pretreatment of mice with the crude and purified samples of rauvolfian (RS and RSP) was found to decrease colonic macroscopic scores, the total area of damage, and tissue myelope roxidase activity in colons as compared with a colitis group. RS and RSP were shown to stimulate production of mucus by colons of the colitis mice. RSP appeared to be an active constituent of the parent RS. The glucan failed to possess anti-inflammatory activity. © 2007 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd
Aloe barbadensis: how a miraculous plant becomes reality
Aloe barbadensis Miller is a plant that is native to North and East Africa and has accompanied man for over 5,000 years. The aloe vera plant has been endowed with digestive, dermatological, culinary and cosmetic virtues. On this basis, aloe provides a range of possibilities for fascinating studies from several points of view, including the analysis of chemical composition, the biochemistry involved in various activities and its application in pharmacology, as well
as from horticultural and economic standpoints. The use of aloe vera as a medicinal plant is mentioned in numerous ancient texts such as the Bible. This multitude of medicinal uses has been described and discussed for centuries, thus transforming this miracle plant into reality. A summary of the historical uses, chemical composition and biological activities of this species is presented in this review. The latest clinical studies involved in vivo and in vitro assays conducted with aloe vera gel or its metabolites and the results of these studies are reviewed
