Isoboonein exhibits significant antitumor and antibacterial activity.
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to
24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20C. Generally, these will be useable for up to two weeks. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

The packaging of the product may have turned upside down during transportation, resulting in the natural compounds adhering to the neck or cap of the vial. take the vial out of its packaging and gently shake to let the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. for liquid products, centrifuge at 200-500 RPM to gather the liquid at the bottom of the vial. try to avoid loss or contamination during handling.

A novel antibacterial iridoid and triterpene from Caiophora coronata.[Pubmed:
14695811]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Bioassay-guided fractionation of the antibacterial CH(2)Cl(2)-MeOH extract obtained from the aerial parts of the Argentinean plant Caiophora coronata led to the isolation of a new triterpene, 1beta,3beta-dihydroxyurs-12-en-27-oic acid, 1, and a new iridoid, 1alpha-methoxy-6alpha,10-dihydroxyisoepiiridomyrmecin (caiophoraenin), 2, along with the known iridoid Isoboonein 3. Their structures were established by spectroscopic techniques (1D and 2D NMR, HRFABMS, FTIR). The MIC values of isolated compounds were determined against methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) and -resistant (MRSA) strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis (BS), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREF), Escherichia coli (EC), E. coli imp (ECimp), and Candida albicans (CA).
CONCLUSIONS:
Compound 1 was found active against BS, MSSA, MRSA, VREF, and ECimp with MIC values of 2, 4, 4, 4, and 16 microg/mL, respectively.

11853749]
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Six non-glycosidic iridoids, i.e. (1R,4S,4aS,7S,7aS)-7-hydroxyl-4-hydroxy- methyl-7-methyl-1-methoxyl-1,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyran-3-one (1), (1S,4R,4aS,7S,7aS)-7-hydroxyl-4-hydroxymethyl-7-methyl-1-methoxyl-1,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyran-3-one (2), (1R,4R,4aS,7S,7aS)-7-hydroxyl-4-hydroxy-methyl-7-methyl-1-methoxyl-1,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta[e]pyran-3-one (3), (1R, 4R, 4aS, 7aS)-4,7-dihydroxymethyl-1-methoxyl-1,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta-6-ene[e]pyran-3-one (4), (1R, 4R, 4aS, 7aS)-4,7-dihydroxymethyl-1-hydroxyl-1,4,4a, 7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta-6-ene[e]pyran-3-one (5), (1R, 4S, 4aS, 7aS)-4,7-dihydroxy-methyl-1-methoxyl-1,4,4a,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta-6-ene[e]pyran-3-one (6), as well as five known non-glycosidic iridoids mussaenin A (7), gardendiol (8), Isoboonein (9), 4-epi-alyxialactone (10) and rehmaglutin D (11) have been isolated from the Chinese medicinal plant Cymbaria mongolica. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
CONCLUSIONS:
These compounds exhibit significant antitumor and antibacterial activity.
