N′-ethylnornicotine from burley tobacco

Isoflavones from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum and their anti-tobacco mosaic virus activities

“…In addition, N. tabacum is also used as insecticides, anesthetics, diaphoretics, sedatives, and emetic agents in Chinese folklore medicines because of its useful chemical compounds (Kuang and Lu, 2005;Rodgman and Perfetti, 2008). Previous phytochemical studies of tobacco have shown the presence of sesquiterpenes Yang et al, 2013), alkaloids (Braumann et al, 1990;Wei et al, 2005), lignans Gao et al, 2012a), flavonoids (Chen et al, , 2012bYe et al, 2012), phenylpropanoids (Leng et al, 2014;Tan et al, 2011), chromanones (Mou et al, 2012;Yang et al, 2014), Biphenyls (Shang et al, 2014a), phenolic amides (Shang et al, 2014b), isocoumarins (Shang et al, 2015), and the homologous. However, the previous reports on occurance of isoflavones in the Solanaceae family are still rather unusual (Arthan et al, 2002;Chen et al, 2012b;Sini and Devi., 2004;Ye et al, 2012).…”

A New Phenylpropanoid from the Leaves of Flue-Cured Tobacco and Its Anti-Tobacco Mosaic Virus Activity

“…In previous work, a number of bioactive compounds, such as terpenoids [6][7][8] , alkaloids 9,10 , lignans 11,12 , flavonoid 13 , phenylpropanoids [14][15][16] , and the homologous, were isolated from this plant. Motivated by search for bioactive metabolites from this plant, the investigation on the chemical constituents of the leaves of flue-cured tobacco (a variety of Nicotiana tabacum L) was carried out.…”

A New Sesquiterpene from Nicotiana tabacum and Its Cytotoxicity

“…In previous work, a number of bioactive compounds, such as terpenoids [6][7][8] , alkaloids 9,10 , lignans 11,12 , flavonoid 13 , phenylpropanoids 14 and the homologous, were isolated from this plant. Motivated by search for bioactive metabolites from this plant, the investigation on the chemical constituents of the leaves of N. tabacum was carried out.…”
