Monoterpene Hydroperoxides with Trypanocidal Activity from Chenopodium ambrosioides
摘要:
Four monoterpene hydroperoxides were isolated from aerial parts of Chenopodium ambrosioides along with ascaridole (1), the anthelmintic principle of this plant, as anti-trypanosomal compounds. The structures of these monoterpenes were determined to be (-)-(2S,4S)- and (-)-(2R,4S)-p-mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-hydroperoxide (2a and 3a) and (-)-(1R,4S)- and (-)-(1S,4S)-p-mentha-2,8-dien-1-hydroperoxide (4a and 5a) on the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical correlations. In vitro trypanocidal activities of ascaridole (1) and these hydroperoxides (2a-5a) against epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi were 23, 1.2, 1.6, 3.1, and 0.8 muM, respectively. Fresh leaves of C. ambrosioides also contained isomeric hydroperoxides 6a and 7a, and the content ratio of 2a-7a suggested that these hydroperoxides were formed through the singlet-oxygen oxidation of limonene.

trisubstituted alkenes, hydroperoxidation withinzeolites occurs with a certain amount of regioselectivity. The oxidationwithinzeolites is accompanied by photodecomposition of the dye and the product hydroperoxides and acid catalyzed rearrangement of the alkenes. In order to understand the observed selectivity, ab initio and DFT calculations on model systems have been performed. The calculations

The present invention relates to a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) type cannabinoid compound for use as a medicament. The THC-type cannabinoid is an enantiomer of the (-)-trans- tetrahydrocannabinol which is a naturally occurring cannabinoid that can be found in cannabis plant strains which have been bred to yield THC as the dominant cannabinoid. The particular enantiomer (+)-trans tetrahydrocannabinol has been found to have properties which are different from the naturally occurring (-)-trans-THC. The cannabinoid (+)-trans-THC has been found to occur in low concentrations in particular cannabis plant strains. Furthermore, the cannabinoid can be produced by synthetic means.
A process for making trans-isocarveol, an intermediate useful in the manufacture of perillyl alcohol, is disclosed. The process comprises isomerizing a mixture comprising cis-limonene oxide (cis-LMO) and trans-limonene oxide (trans-LMO) in the presence of a phenolic modifier and a chromium catalyst. The process is performed at a temperature less than 220° C. to convert more than 50% of the cis-LMO to trans-isocarveol and less than 50% of the trans-LMO to cis-isocarveol. We surprisingly found that a mixture of cis- and trans-LMO can be selectively isomerized to produce mostly trans-isocarveol, which we discovered is the preferred isomer for making perillyl alcohol by direct isomerization.
