Five new piperidine alkaloids were designed from natural (-)-3-O-acetyl-spectaline and (-)-spectaline that were obtained from the flowers of Senna spectabilis (sin. Cassia spectabilis, Leguminosae). Two semi-synthetic ...

A rapid and simple gas chromatographic method for determinating cyprodinil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil, and tebuconazole in grapes, must, and wine is described. An on-line microextraction method was used with a one-step ...

Acetone and ethanol extracts of the tubercula and several compounds isolated from Aristolochia pubescens (Willd) were bioassayed on velvebean caterpillars, Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hubner), for evaluation of the insecticidal ...

From the ethanol extract of Aristolochia gigantea Mart an 8-benzylberbine-type alkaloid and an N-oxide were isolated together with pinitol and sequoyitol. Structural assignments were based on analysis of spectral data, ...

O diterpeno glicosídico inédito, denominado vernanolídeo, possuindo o esqueleto geranil-geraniol, foi isolado do caule de Cupania vernalis, uma espécie da família Sapindaceae, conhecida popularmente como arco de peneira. ...
