TL;DR: Three known alkaloids have been isolated for the first time from Croton lechleri, a source of the wound healing latex "sangre de grado", and three chemotypes are defined based on the alkaloid content of the leaves, and the geographic distribution is discussed.

TL;DR: Six amphiphilic heptapeptides with the structure C18H37, in which Glx represents glutamic acid or its benzyl ester and n+m=2, have been studied, and planar bilayer voltage clamp experiments confirmed that pores with more than one conductance state may form in these dynamic, self-assembled pores.

TL;DR: Fatty acid amides localized in alfalfa glandular trichomes likely contribute to leafhopper resistance.

TL;DR: In this article, the first derivatives of the [7-R-μ-(9,10-HRC)-nido-7-CB10H10]- anion not involving degradation were characterized by NMR spectrometry, high-resolution mass spectrometer, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

TL;DR: Varieties of glandular-haired alfalfa with resistance to the potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris), have been commercially released and it is determined that steam distillates from both G98A and Ranger were composed mainly of alcohols and esters, with 1-octen-3-ol, (Z)-3-Hexenyl acetate, and (Z)3-hexen-1-ol as major components.
