Two new nortriterpenoid saponins from Salicornia bigelovii Torr. and their cytotoxic activity

Triterpenoid glycosides from the leaves of Meliosma henryi

“…The ROESY experiment revealed also several correlations, including H-3/H-5 and H-5/H-9 which indicated that the OH-3 group was in a b-orientation and H-25 with H-24 and H-26 indicating their b-orientation. The chemical shifts values for protons and carbons were in accordance with the literature data of 3b-hydroxy-30-nor-oleana-12,20-(29)-dien-28-oic acid (akebonoic acid) (Hamed et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2014). 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra showed that akebonoic acid was common as aglycone to saponins 1-5.…”

Solvent system selectivities in countercurrent chromatography using Salicornia gaudichaudiana metabolites as practical example with off-line electrospray mass-spectrometry injection profiling

“…Plant material is used as 'green salt' to substitute sodium chloride in food preparations for people suffering of high blood pressure and kidney/heart diseases. Several other Salicornia species are used in folk medicine for a variety of disorders, including obesity, diabetes and cancer [26][27][28].…”

“…Previous phytochemical studies on the genus Salicornia described the isolation of a variety of compounds: benzopyrones, lignans, flavonoids, saponins, coumarins, terpenoids, quinic acid derivatives and alkaloids [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. To the best of our knowledge, no phytochemical work have been conducted on S. gaudichaudiana.…”

Promotion of growth and upregulation of thylakoid membrane proteins in the halophyte Salicornia bigelovii Torr. under saline conditions

“…In fact, S. bigelovii is considered a euhalophyte because it actually requires high levels of Na ? for optimal growth (Bashan et al 2000;Wang et al 2012). Comparing how photosynthetic capacity and growth varies in plants grown with and without salinity can be used to study the actual mechanisms of salt tolerance.…”
