High impact information on Gnetum

• An isorhapontigenin tetramer and a novel stilbene dimer from Gnetum hainanense [1].
• Ancestry and diversity of BEL1-like homeobox genes revealed by gymnosperm ( Gnetum gnemon) homologs [2].
• Latifolians A and B, novel JNK3 kinase inhibitors from the Papua New Guinean plant Gnetum latifolium [3].
• Four stilbene derivatives, gnemonols K and L (resveratrol trimers), M (isorhapontigenin dimer), and gnemonoside K (glucoside of resveratrol trimer) together with eleven known stilbenoids and a lignan were isolated from the acetone, methanol and 70% methanol soluble parts of the root of Gnetum gnemon (Gnetaceae) [4].
• Four new phenolic derivatives, gnetofurans A-C (1-3) and dihydropinosylvindiol (4), were isolated from a methanol-soluble extract of the stems of Gnetum klossii, together with nine known compounds [gnetifolin F (5), isorhapontigenin, gnetulin, gnetins E and C, latifolol, gnetol, (-)-epsilon-viniferin, and trans-resveratrol] [5].

Associations of Gnetum with chemical compounds

• Three new stilbene trimers from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense [6].
• An acetone extract of the stem of Gnetum latifolium Blume afforded the stilbene trimer (latifolol) together with five known stilbenoids (gnetin E, gnetin D, gnetin C, (-)epsilon -viniferin and resveratrol) [7].
• Five stilbene dimers, gnetuhainins F-J, were isolated together with gnetulin, rhapontigenin, isorhapontigenin and gnetol from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense C [8].
• Five new stilbene dimers, gnetuhainins A-E (1-5), were isolated together with resveratrol trans-dehydrodimer (6), resveratrol, oxyresveratrol, and (-)-epsilon-viniferin from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense [9].
• Two stilbenoids, gnetupendin A and B, were isolated from the lianas of Gnetum pendulum C [10].

Gene context of Gnetum

• Gnetol as a potent tyrosinase inhibitor from genus Gnetum [11].
