Constituents Isolated from the Fungus Monascus sp.
Further study on a 95% EtOH extract of the red mold rice fermented with the mutant of the fungusMonascus sp. led to the isolation of one new natural pyranoid derivative, namely monascuslactone (1), together with three known compounds. The structure of the new compound was determined as (4S*,6S*)-4-hydroxy-4,6-dimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one. The known compounds were identified as monascin (2), ankaflavin (3), and methylN-methyl anthranylate (4). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy together with HR-ESI-MS analysis, and comparison of the spectroscopic data with those reported for structurally rel...

Commikuanoid D: A New Potent Carbonic Anhydrase-II Inhibitor from the Resin of Commiphora kua
A new compound, commikuanoid D, was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction ofCommiphora kua resin. The structure was unambiguously elucidated on the basis of complete spectroscopic analysis. Furthermore, the compound displayed potent carbonic anhydrase II inhibition with IC50 of 17.4 ± 0.32 μM. On the other hand, the molecular docking reflected that the acetyl group of the molecule specifically binds with the Zn ion at the active site of CA-II, and the OH group of the compound mediated hydrogen bonding with Gln92, thus blocking the enzyme activity with a good binding score ( ≥ 7 kcal/mol).

New Flavonoids of the Genus Scutellaria. I. Scutellarisides I and II from S. titovii and S. catharinae
The composition of phenolic compounds fromScutellaria titovii Juz. andS. catharinae Juz. (Lamiaceae) growing in Kazakhstan was studied for the first time. A total of 26 known compounds and two newO-glycosylflavones (1 and2) were detected. The new flavonoids were elucidated as 5,7,2 ′-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone 7,2′-di-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (scutellariside I,1) and 5,6,7,4 ′-tetrahydroxyflavanone 7,4′-di-O-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (scutellariside II,2) using UV and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Synthesis of Chalcone Derivatives as COX-2 Inhibitory Activity for Ischemic Stroke Treatment
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is a crucial mediator contributing to blood –brain barrier damage during cerebral ischemia. The ability of target compounds to inhibit COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes was determined. Compound4a showed a high COX-2 inhibitory potency and selectivity, which was higher activity than observed for the positive control celecoxib. A docking study was performed for compound4a to explain its interaction with the COX-2 receptor active site. (Source: Chemistry of Natural Compounds)
