Fabaceae plants

Phyllanthus urinaria (Euphorbiaceae), Haematoxyhim campechianum (Fabaceae) [leaf] Phyllanthus urinaria (Euphorbiaceae), Acacia farnesiana (Fabaceae) [plant] Casuarina stricta (Casuarinaceae), Quercus sp. (Fagacaeae), Potentilla sp., Rubus spp. (Rosaceae), Stachyurus praecox (Stachyuraceae), Camellia japonica (Theaceae)... 

In this chapter, prodigiosin, obtained from the cultured broth of Serratia marcescens stachydrine, isolated from Fabaceae plants and pyrrole-2-carboxyUc acid, isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. No. 82-85 are described. Regarding these alkaloids, it was established that labeled prohne is incorporated into these alkaloids. It was also determined that alanine and glycine are incorporated into prodigiosin, in addition to proline [1]. However, intact incorporation of proline into prodigiosin as a unit retaining the nitrc en atom was observed, and consequendy this alkaloid is described in this chapter.

The seeds and vegetative part of plants contain several sorts of inhibitors of insect, fungal, mammalian, and endogenous proteinases. These inhibitors may be involved in plant defense mechanisms against predators and participate in the development of the plant itself. Peptidic proteinase inhibitors are well studied in the families Fabaceae, Poaceae, Asteraceae, and Solanaceae (37). Non-proteinaceous inhibitors of serine... 

Reports on the antiviral activity of flavanones isolated from medicinal plants have also been found in the literature. Two new antiviral flavanone derivatives were isolated from a methanol extract of leaves of Pithecellobium clypearia (Jack.) Benth (Fabaceae), guided by antiviral assays.The structures were characterized as 7-0-galloyltricetifavan (Fig. 14) and 7,4 -di-0-galloyltricetifavan. CPE reduction assay showed that both compounds possess antiviral activity against respiratory syncytial virus, influenza A HlNl virus, CVB3 and HSV-1. Examples of other... 

Alkaloids derived from L-ornithine, L-lysine, and L-trypthophan occur in the Legume plant family (Fabaceae Juss.) (Table 9). This plant family is the third largest botanical family, with 650 genera and 18000 species in the humid tropics, sub-tropics, temperate and sub-arctic zones around the Globe". L-ornithine-derived alkaloids such as senecionine are present in the genus Crota Crotalaria L.).

Predominantly, this substitution occurs in the 3, 4 -position of ring B, rarely between neighboring OH-groups in ring A. Such compounds were reported from Fabaceae, Rutaceae, and some Asteraceae, from all parts of the plants. Only in rare cases, their accumulation as exudate constituents was documented (Ozothamnus, Asteraceae). ... 

Only very few flavones of this type exist, in most cases showing various other types of substituents as well. (9-prenylation is known to occur at position 6, 7, or 4 -OH. Most of the substituents are 3,3-dimethylallyl structures. Whereas epoxyprenyl derivatives have been reported from the aerial parts of Achyrocline flaccida (Asteraceae), a new compound with 4 -0-dimethylallyl substitution was later reported from the leaves of Ficus maxima (compound 128, Table 12.3). There is no indication of external accumulation in any of the plants listed. Millettocalyxin B (compound 129, Table 12.3) from the stem bark of Millettia ery-throcalyx represents an example of a mixed structure (methylenedioxy- and (9-prenylsubstitu-tion). Similarly, ovalifolin (compound 131, Table 12.3) has a furano-substitutent in addition and is being reported for two new sources of Fabaceae. The name ovalifolin (published 1974) has priority for this furanoflavone its use for a structurally different compound from Ehretia ovalifolia is, therefore, obsolete. 

Cyclization resulting in furano-substitution is quite frequent between 7-OH and the neighboring 6 or 8-position of ring A. Most reports concentrate on Fabaceae and Moraceae, again from all parts of the plants, except external accumulation. The number of compounds known is smaller than that of the pyranoderivatives. Furano- substitution at ring B is rarely observed (e.g. epimedokoreanin A compound 178, Table 12.3 and in Figure 12.3) from Epimedium...
