Chemical constituents of Salacia elliptica (Celastraceae)

TLDR
In this paper, the chemical structure and relative configuration of a new triterpene 1,3-dioxo-16α-hydroxyfriedelane (15) were established through 1H and 13C NMR including 2D experiments (HMBC, HMQC, COSY and NOESY).
Abstract
The chemical investigation of Salacia elliptica allowed to the isolation of 20 constituents: two polyols, one xanthone, a mixture of long chain hydrocarbons, one carboxylic acid, one polymer, two steroidal compounds, one aromatic ester and eleven pentacyclic triterpenes. These triterpenes include 3β-stearyloxy-oleanane, 3β-stearyloxy-ursane, one seco-friedelane, and eight compounds of the friedelane serie. The chemical structure and the relative configuration of a new triterpene 1,3-dioxo-16α-hydroxyfriedelane (15) were established through 1H and 13C NMR including 2D experiments (HMBC, HMQC, COSY and NOESY) and herein reported for the first time.

Chemical and Biological Research on Herbal Medicines Rich in Xanthones

TL;DR: This paper summarizes the plant resources, bioactivity and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) of xanthones from references published over the last few decades, which may be useful for new drug research and development onxanthones.

Structure, histochemistry and phytochemical profile of the bark of the sobol and aerial stem of Tontelea micrantha (Celastraceae - Hippocrateoideae)

TL;DR: The similarities between these two organs indicate that the aerial stem bark has potential medicinal use and represents a plausible alternative to harvesting the sobol, which could contribute to the preservation of natural populations of this species.

Unravelling the names, origins and chemistry of “muthis” used for male sexual disorders in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

TL;DR: This research shows for the first time that the major plant sources for these preparations are three plants from the genus Eriosema, which raises the question whether the quinone methides, and particularly pristimerin, have hitherto untested aphrodisiac-like properties, or whether unknown minor components in the plant are responsible for perceived sex-related activity.
