SECOIRIDOIDS FROM THE SEED OF GONOCARYUM CALLERYANUM AND THEIR INHIBITORY POTENTIAL ON LPS-INDUCED TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR AND NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION

Secoiridoids from the Seed of Gonocaryum calleryanum and Their Inhibitory Potential on LPS-Induced Tumor Necrosis Factor and Nitric Oxide Production

Three new secoiridoid constituents, goncarin A−C (1–3), and a new derivative, goncarin A monoacetate (4), along with two known lignins, Cutlery pinoresinol (5) and paulownin (6), were isolated from the seed of Gonocaryum calleryanum (Baill.) Becc.The structures of the new metabolites were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscop

Postcranial anatomy of Besanosaurus leptorhynchus (Reptilia: Ichthyosauria) from the Middle Triassic Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio (Italy/Switzerland), with implications for reconstructing the swimming styles of Triassic ichthyosaurs

Abstract Besanosaurus leptorhynchus Dal Sasso & Pinna, 1996 was originally described on the basis of a single complete fossil specimen excavated near Besano (Italy).However, a recent taxonomic revision and re-examination of the cranial osteology allowed for the assignment of five additional specimens to the taxon.Here, we analyse, describe and disc
