High impact information on Convolvulaceae

  • To address the question of the position of the genus Cuscuta within Convolvulaceae, we generated a new molecular data set consisting of mitochondrial (atpA) and nuclear (RPB2) genes, and analyzed these data together with an existing chloroplast data matrix (rbcL, atpB, trnL-F, and psbE-J), to which an additional chloroplast gene (rpl2) was added [1].
  • Chemotaxonomy of the pantropical genus Merremia (Convolvulaceae) based on the distribution of tropane alkaloids [2].
  • The occurrence and distribution of tropane and biogenetically related pyrrolidine alkaloids in 18 Merremia species of paleo-, neo-, and pantropical occurrence have been studied [2].
  • Phytochemical re-investigation of the aerial parts of Bonamia spectabilis (Convolvulaceae) led to the isolation of four minor tetrahydrofuran-type sesquilignans (bonaspectins E-H) together with the known neolignan virolongin A and the known lignan rel-(7S,8R,7'R,8'R)-3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexamethoxylignan [3].
  • Merrekentrones A-D, ipomeamarone-like furanosesquiterpenes from Merremia kentrocaulos [4].
 

Associations of Convolvulaceae with chemical compounds

  • Petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol and distilled water extracts of the aerial parts of the plant Rivea hypocrateriformis (Convolvulaceae) were tested for antiimplantation and pregnancy interruption properties in female albino rats [5].
