Araliaceae

The alkaloid vasicine was first isolated from Adhatoda vasica in 1925 but the structure (996) was elucidated only after a great amount of work, culminating in two independent syntheses in 1935 (B-53MI21301). It was made subsequently by a simple route from 2-aminobenzaldehyde and 4-amino-2-hydroxybutyraldehyde (994) followed by dehydration of the tricyclic intermediate (995) (60TL(25)44>. Vasicine has bronchodilatory activity of a low order. Two related unnamed alkaloids (997) and (998) were obtained in 1965 from members of the Araliaceae family, viz. Mackinlaya subulata and M. macrosciadia both had been synthesized earlier (66AJC151). [Pg.148]

Ginsenosides are triterpenoid saponins found nearly exclusively in ginseng and they have been the target of a lot of research as they are believed to be the main active principles behind the claims of ginsengs efficacy. Ginseng refers to species within the genus Panax (Araliaceae... [Pg.2]

Chimeric enzymes constructed fi"om two different angiosperms (Panax ginseng, Araliaceae, and Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassicaceae) yielded mixtures of triterpenoids, p-amirin and lupeol, at a composition depending on the particular chimera methyl scrambling was observed for lupeol only (Kushiro 1999). A few differences in the amino acids at the active site are responsible for these effects. This implies that the high variety of plant triterpenoids owes more to chimeric enzymes than product-specific triterpene synthases. It was proposed that these chimeric enzymes act as multifunctional triterpene synthases (Kushiro 1999). [Pg.209]

The ginseng root is among the most important medicines used in traditional Chinese medicine. Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, family Araliaceae, has been used in China for more than 2000 years to combat psychophysical tiredness and asthenia.
