Antifungal activity of beta-asarone from rhizomes of Acorus gramineus.

Jee Yeon Lee et al.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 52(4), 776-780 (2004-02-19)

An antifungal substance was isolated from the extract of Acorus gramineus using various chromatographic procedures. The antibiotic was identified as beta-asarone, cis-2,4,5-trimethoxy-1-propenylbenzene, on the basis of the high-resolution EI-mass, NMR, and UV spectral data. Beta-asarone completely inhibited mycelial growth of

One step conversion of toxic beta-asarone from Acorus calamus into 1-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2-dihydroxypropane and asaronaldehyde occurring in Piper clusii.

Natural product letters, 15(6), 439-444 (2002-02-13)

1-(2,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2-dihydroxypropane (2), a natural phenylpropanoid occurring in Piper clusii, has been synthesized for the first time from toxic beta-asarone (1) of Acorus calamus with osmium tetroxide, while 1 with osmium tetroxide (catalytic amount) in presence of sodium metaperiodate furnished the

A mild and convenient procedure for the conversion of toxic beta-asarone into rare phenylpropanoids: 2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamaldehyde and gamma-asarone.

Arun K Sinha et al.

Journal of natural products, 65(5), 764-765 (2002-05-25)

Oxidation of beta-asarone (2) with DDQ gave trans-2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamaldehyde (3), which on treatment with p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazine provided corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated hydrazone derivative (4). Reduction of 4 with sodium borohydride in acetic acid afforded gamma-asarone (1) in 43% yield.
