| novel secoiridoid lactones from jasminum multiflorum. | four new secoiridoid lactones, jasmolactones a [1], b [2], c [3], and d [4], were isolated from the aerial part of jasminum multiflorum. the structures of these compounds, which contain a novel bicyclic 2-oxo-oxepano[4,5-c]pyran ring system, were established by spectral analyses and chemical correlations. pharmacological testing revealed that jasmolactones b and d possess coronary vasodilating and cardiotropic activities. | 1989 | 2607347 |
| land-use change in indian tropical agro-ecosystems: eco-energy estimation for socio-ecological sustainability. | this study was carried out to understand the ecological and economic sustainability of floriculture and other main crops in indian agro-ecosystems. the cultivation practices of four major flower crops, namely jasminum multiflorum, crossandra infundibuliformis, chrysanthemum and tagetes erecta, were studied in detail. the production cost of flowers in terms of energy was calculated to be 99,622-135,996 compared to 27,681-69,133 mj ha(-1) for the main crops, namely oryza sativa, eleusine coracana, ... | 2017 | 28315232 |
