The phytochem. profile of Macropiper excelsum (G.Forst.) Miq. subsp. excelsum (Piperaceae), a shrub which is widespread in New Zealand, was investigated by LC-MS-guided isolation and characterization via HR-ESI-TOF-MS and NMR spectroscopy. The isolated compounds were sensorily evaluated to identify their contribution to the overall taste of the crude extract with sweet, bitter, herbal and trigeminal impressions. Besides the known non-volatile Macropiper compounds, the lignans (+)-diayangambin and (+)-excelsin, four further excelsin isomers, (+)-diasesartemin, (+)-sesartemin, (+)-episesartemin A and B were newly characterized. Moreover, piperine and a number of piperine analogs as well as trans-pellitorine and two homologs, kalecide and (2E,4E)-tetradecadienoic acid N-iso-Bu amide were identified in M. excelsum, some of them for the first time. Methyl(2E,4E)-7-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)hepta-2,4-dienoate was identified and characterized for the first time in nature. Sensory anal. of the pure amides indicated that they contributed to the known chemesthetic effects of Macropiper leaves and fruits. Since the pungent piperine has been shown to affect glucose and fatty acid metabolism in vivo in previous studies, piperine itself and four of the isolated compounds, piperdardine, chingchengenamide A, dihydropiperlonguminine, and methyl(2E,4E)-7-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)hepta-2,4-dienoate, were investigated regarding their effects on glucose and fatty acid uptake by enterocyte-like Caco-2 cells, in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 μM. Piperdardine showed the most pronounced effect, with glucose uptake increased by 83±18% at 100 μM compared to non-treated control cells. An amide group seems to be advantageous for glucose uptake stimulation, but not necessarily for fatty acid uptake-stimulating effects of piperine-related compounds This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2E,4E)-N-Isobutyldeca-2,4-dienamide (cas: 18836-52-7Electric Literature of C14H25NO).
(2E,4E)-N-Isobutyldeca-2,4-dienamide (cas: 18836-52-7) belongs to amides. Amides include many other important biological compounds, as well as many drugs like paracetamol, penicillin and LSD. Low-molecular-weight amides, such as dimethylformamide, are common solvents. Amides can be recrystallised from large quantities of water, ethanol, ethanol/ether, aqueous ethanol, chloroform/toluene, chloroform or acetic acid. The likely impurities are the parent acids or the alkyl esters from which they have been made. The former can be removed by thorough washing with aqueous ammonia followed by recrystallisation, whereas elimination of the latter is by trituration or recrystallisation from an organic solvent.Electric Literature of C14H25NO
