Directed Electrophilic Cyclizations - Efficient Methodology for the Synthesis of Fused Polycyclic Aromatics

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step synthesis of complex, fused polycyclic aromatic systems using Suzuki and Negishi type cross-coupling chemistries is described, where the critical ring-forming step uses 4-alkoxyphenylethynyl groups and is induced by strong electrophiles such as trifluoroacetic acid and iodonium tetrafluoroborate.

Biosynthesis, total syntheses, and antitumor activity of tanshinones and their analogs as potential therapeutic agents

TL;DR: The biosynthesis, total syntheses, and antitumor activities of tanshinones,especially neo-tanshinlactone and its analogs are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leishmanicidal, antiplasmodial, and cytotoxic activity of novel diterpenoid 1,2-quinones from Perovskia abrotanoides: new source of tanshinones.

TL;DR: The findings provide a rationale for traditional use of the roots of Perovskia abrotanoides as a constituent of poultices for treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis.

Nitrogen-Containing Compounds from Salvia miltiorrhiza

TL;DR: Five new N-containing compounds, neosalvianen, salvianen (2), salvianan (3), salviadione (4), and 5-(methoxymethyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (5), were isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza and exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity.

Tanshinone biosynthesis in Salvia miltiorrhiza and production in plant tissue cultures.

TL;DR: Tanshinone production in cell and hairy root cultures has been dramatically enhanced with various strategies, including medium optimization, elicitor stimulation, and nutrient feeding operations, and the views on future trends are provided.
