“…Solvents such as hexane and acetone/water mixtures have been used with some tropical timbers (Kilic and Niemz 2010); methanol and hexane with Azadirachta excelsa (Ahmad Said et al 2006) and ethanol-benzene with Shorea ovalis and Neobalanocarpus heimii (Ahmad-Said and Mohd-Hamami 1982). In addition, structure, distribution and quantity of secondary metabolites are useful markers for chemotaxonomy (Banthorpe et al 1972).…”

The toxic effects of selected Malaysian timbers (Madhuca utilis, Anisoptera laevis and Endospermum malaccense) heartwood extracts were studied with the aim to determine and understanding the function of wood extracts as a natural protection against termite. The results show that no-choice experiments revealed toxic properties of all investigated extracts by the contact against Coptotermes gestroi and Coptotermes curvignathus. However, high termite mortality was only achieved with Madhuca utilis extracts and methanol solvents.

“…1 and 2), it has been observed on several occasions that angiosperms incorporate little, if any, [ 14 C]mevalonate into ␤-carotene and the phytol side chain of chlorophyll as well as into some other terpenoids, and the possibility that different pathways of terpenoid biosynthesis might be operative even in different compartments of plant cells has been considered (3)(4)(5).…”

The incorporation of [1-13 C]-and [2,3,4,5-13 C 4 ]1-deoxy-D-xylulose into ␤-carotene, lutein, phytol, and sitosterol in a cell culture of Catharanthus roseus was analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. The labeling patterns of the isoprene precursors, isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, were obtained from the terpenes by a retrobiosynthetic approach. 13 C Enrichment and 13 C 13 C coupling patterns showed conclusively that 1-deoxy-D-xylulose and not mevalonate is the predominant isoprenoid precursor of phytol, ␤-carotene, and lutein. Label from 1-deoxyxylulose was also diverted to phytosterols to a minor extent (6% relative to carotene and phytol formation). The data demonstrate that the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate from pentulose occurs strictly by an intramolecular rearrangement process.

“…Label from [1-13C] Isoprenoids are the largest class of secondary compounds found in higher plants and have been studied intensely, but the biosynthesis of the isoprenoid precursor of terpenes is still not clear, despite studies extending over several decades (1,2).…”
