Chemical constituents of Roldana aschenborniana

Chemical constituents of Roldana lineolata

The new eremophilanolide 1, the known eremophilane derivatives 2 and 3, already described as part of mixtures, the known compounds hyperin, 2''-acetylhyperin and two calenduladiol esters were isolated from Roldana lineolata. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1 and 2 as well as their acetylated and oxidized derivatives were tested against several fungi strains. Eremophilanolide 1 showed a mild activity against Trichophyton mentagrophytes.

Cacalol derivatives from Roldana angulifolia

Four new modified eremophilanes, angulifolide (1) and angulifolins A-C (2-4), and two new triacetylglucosides (7 and 8) were isolated from Roldana angulifolia, together with several known compounds. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical reactions. The absolute configuration of compounds 2 and 3 was established by Mosher ester methodology. Cytotoxicity against selected human cancer cell lines was determined for the more abundant isolated metabolites.
