TL;DR: The methanol extract of the dried roots of Ferula sumbul afforded two furanocoumarin esters and some of the isolated compounds showed anti-HIV activity and very weak inhibition of cytokine release.

TL;DR: Ethyl acetate extracts of the air-dried fruits of Ferula kuhistaniica afforded three daucane esters: kuhistanicaol H, I and J, together with nine other known compounds, which were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.

TL;DR: Methanol extracts of the air-dried roots and stems of Ferula kuhistaniica afforded seven daucane-type sesquiterpenes, called kuhistanicaol A-G, together with 13 known daucanes esters, established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and the results of chemical reactions.

TL;DR: The methanol extract of the dried stems of Celastrus stehanotifolius afforded two new triterpenes: lup-20(29)en-28-al-3β-yl caffeate (betulinaldehyde-3 β-yl-caffeate) and olean-28,al,3β,yl-Caffeate, and one known diterpene: nimbidiol as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Four new prenylated benzoic acid derivatives, kuhistanols A-D (1-4), along with one known compound, 3-farnesyl-p-hydroxybenzoic Acid (5), have been isolated from the roots of the Uzbekistan medicinal plant, Ferula kuhistaniica.
