TL;DR: In this article, the 3 R configuration of (−)-vasicinone has been reversed and this pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-9-one was shown to have the 3 S -configuration (3 ) on the basis of an X-ray diffraction study of its hydrobromide.
Abstract: The previously assigned 3 R configuration of (−)-vasicinone has been reversed and this pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-9-one has been shown to have the 3 S -configuration ( 3 ) on the basis of an X-ray diffraction study of (+)-vasicinone hydrobromide. Likewise, the 3 R stereochemistry assigned earlier to (−)-vasicine (peganine) ( 1 ) on the basis of an X-ray analysis of its hydrochloride has also been reversed by reinvestigation of the X-ray diffraction analysis of the hydrobromide. The absolute stereochemistry of the alkaloids (+)-vasicinol ( 2 ) and vasicinolone ( 5 ) which have been inter-related, should also have the 3 S -configuration. A study of the 1 H nmr spectroscopy of (−)-vasicine by the use of Mosher's method using MTPA [α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid] esters indicated an exception to this model for establishing the absolute configuration.

TL;DR: A comprehensive reinvestigation of chemical constituents from the rhizomes of Hedychium spicatum led to the isolation of two new labdane-type diterpene (1, 2) together with six known compounds, which were established on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on a subset of medicinally important aromatic plants with radioprotective activity, mainly exploited for essential oil extraction for applications in industries, for example, in cosmetics, flavoring and fragrance, spices, pesticides, repellents and herbal beverages.
Abstract: Aromatic plants are often used as natural medicines because of their remedial and inherent pharmacological properties. Looking into natural resources, particularly products of plant origin, has become an exciting area of research in drug discovery and development. Aromatic plants are mainly exploited for essential oil extraction for applications in industries, for example, in cosmetics, flavoring and fragrance, spices, pesticides, repellents and herbal beverages. Although several medicinal plants have been studied to treat various conventional ailments only a handful studies are available on aromatic plants, especially for radioprotection. Many plant extracts have been reported to contain antioxidants that scavenge free radicals produced due to radiation exposure, thus imparting radioprotective efficacy. The present review focuses on a subset of medicinally important aromatic plants with radioprotective activity.
