Apr. 2017 1 2015 Annual Meeting of the ASP | July 25th–29th, 2015 | Copper Mountain, CO, USA 2 Dear Fellow Natural Product Enthusiasts, “Natural Products Rising to the Top,” was selected as the theme for the 2015 American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) Meeting. This topic symbolizes both the fact that this year’s meeting will take place at the highest altitude of any ASP meet- ing held to date, as well as the profound rise in interests in natural products across many disciplines. The last half decade has witnessed a revolution in natural product research throughout the world and particularly in the United States. What makes these developments so exciting is the divergent evolution of how natural products are currently studied and used in research. This year’s meeting reflects these broadened and escalating interests in natural products by highlighting a rich variety of topics that will be presented by our symposium speakers, in parallel sessions, by award winners, throughout poster presentations, and within workshops. Scanning the enclosed abstracts reveals a breadth of topics including natural product drug discovery and development, medicinal and synthetic chemistry, genomics, ecology, botanicals, health and beauty, law, neuroscience, instrumentation, microbiome studies, and much more. These topics are sure to stimulate the hearts and minds of young and mature researchers alike as we join together to witness the wonderful science of our col- leagues and friends. A few additional special features are notable about this year’s meeting of the ASP. First, special efforts have been made to highlight the wide range of perspectives on natural products offered by colleagues from academic, government, and indus- trial backgrounds. Second, this year’s lineup of parallel session speakers was selected solely by each session leader to best reflect the broadest possible spectrum of scientific interests and viewpoints. Notably, many of the parallel session leaders have been assembled from a growing number of ‘junior’ faculty (recently appointed assistant and research professors) whose voices are important to the growth of the ASP. And third, we are introducing a new session this year, ASP Younger Members Research Spotlight led by James Fuchs, which is devoted solely to the contributions of some of our most outstand- ing graduate and postdoc researchers. Such a wonderful meeting would not be possible without the help of many outstanding individuals and organizations. Spe- cial thanks are given first and foremost to our terrific sponsors and vendors who have helped us achieve an all-time record for meeting support. Appreciation is also given to our presenters for sharing their original work and ideas about natural products. The great assistance of our scientific organizing committee is also acknowledged, especially my co-chair, Susan Mooberry who has helped recruit speakers and provide advice about session topics. It is important to note the enduring support and organizational acumen of Ms. Candace Coker who is the project manager for the Institute for Natural Prod- ucts Applications & Research Technologies at the University of Oklahoma, which is the host of this year’s meeting. She has been at the heart of all matters related to the development, planning, and organization of the meeting and her dedication is greatly appreciated. Finally, it is vital that thanks and recognition be given to all of you who will be attending this year’s meeting. Without your comradery and willingness to share your time and thoughts concerning natural products, this meeting would not be possible. It is because of you that natural products are truly rising to the top and the view towards the future of the field looks spectacular. Sincerely, Robert H. Cichewicz, Ph.D. Chair of ASP 2015 Regents’ Professor and Director Institute for Natural Products Applications & Research Technologies at the University of Oklahoma 2015 Annual Meeting of the ASP | July 25th–29th, 2015 | Copper Mountain, CO, USA 3 July 25 – 29, 2015 General Information Oral Presentations All oral presentations will be held in the Big Horn Room(s) and/or the Ptarmigan Room in the Copper Mountain Confer- ence Center.

    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 32: 173–178. 2004. Mallotus glomerulatus (Euphorbiaceae sensu stricto), a new species: description, pollen and phylogenetic position PETER C. VAN WELZEN*, RAYMOND W.J.M. VAN DER HAM*& KRISTO K.M. KULJU* INTRODUCTION A field trip by several staff members of the Forest Herbarium in Bangkok (BKF) to Phu Langka National Park in Nakhon Phanom Province resulted in the discovery of an unusual undershrub up to 1.5 m high and with the typical ‘explosively’ dehiscent fruits of Euphorbiaceae. The two plants showed a unique combination of characters: opposite leaves, stellate hairs, two apical, axillary ‘fruiting columns’ (no real inflorescences), smooth carpels, and a single ovule per locule (typical for the Euphorbiaceae s.s.: subfamilies Acalyphoideae, Crotonoideae, and Euphorbioideae). A year later, other staff members of BKF collected the staminate flowers, which were present in shortly peduncled glomerules. This inflorescence type is quite common in subfamily Phyllanthoideae (now often referred to at the family level as Phyllanthaceae), but all representatives of this (sub)family have two ovules per locule. Thus, the presence of glomerules makes the set of characters unique and we consider the unidentified plant to be a new species. The new species resembles the genus Mallotus in having extrafloral nectaries in the form of round or oval glands on the upper leaf surface, stellate hairs and short, terminal pistillate inflorescences reduced to a single flower. In Thailand the latter character is present in M. calocarpus Airy Shaw. The new species also resembles M. calocarpus in the smooth, unarmed fruits, the penninerved (not triplinerved) leaf blade, short staminate inflorescences (though no glomerules in M.

  • Phenolic Compounds from the Leaves of Homonoia Riparia and Their Inhibitory Effects on Advanced Glycation End Product Formation

Bioassay-guided isolation of this fraction resulted in identification of 15 phenolic compounds (1 – 15). These compounds were evaluated in vitro for inhibitory activity against the formation of AGE. The majority of tested compounds, excluding ethyl gallate (15), markedly inhibited AGE formation, with IC50 values of 2.2 – 89.9 µM, compared with that of the positive control, aminoguanidine (IC50 = 962.3 µM). In addition, the effects of active isolates on the dilation of hyaloid-retinal vessels induced by high glucose (HG) in larval zebrafish was investigated; (−)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (6), corilagin (7), and desmanthine-2 (11) significantly decreased HG-induced dilation of hyaloid–retinal vessels compared with the HG-treated control group.

  • Lasiococca Brevipes (Euphorbiaceae): a New Combination
    BLUMEA 50: 275 –277 Published on 14 July 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X622996 LASIOCOCCA BREVIPES (EUPHORBIACEAE): A NEW COMBINATION P.C. VAN WELZEN & S.E.C. SIERRA Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] SUMMARY Lasiococca brevipes (Merr.) Welzen & S.E.C. Sierra is a new combination based on Mallotus brevipes Merr. The new combination replaces Lasiococca malaccensis Airy Shaw, which appears to be a later synonym. The species is very rare, but widespread and seemingly with a very disjunct distribution, found in Sumatra, the Philippines, Sulawesi, and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Key words: Lasiococcus, Euphorbiaceae, Malesia, Philippines. INTRODUCTION A recent revision of Mallotus Lour. (Euphorbiaceae) resulted in finding a few odd Philippine specimens, identified under various names: Mallotus resinosus (Blanco) Merr., Mallotus muricatus Müll.Arg. (name a synonym of M. resinosus), and Mallotus brevipes Merr. The material identified as M. muricatus (R.S. Williams 2968) appeared to be isotypes of M. brevipes (Merrill, 1914). The specimens have whorled to subopposite leaves (terminal leaves opposite), they lack glandular and stellate hairs (typical for Mallotus), the petiole is very short, the leaf base narrowly heart-shaped, and the ovary/fruits have short papillae with a single to a few long, sharp pointed hairs. The specimens with staminate flowers show branching stamens. This combination of characters is typical for Lasiococca Hook.f. Lasiococca was recently revised (Van Welzen, 1998). The genus is difficult to recog- nise, a synonym of L. comberi Haines was even described in the Celastraceae: Euonymus auriculatus Craib (Van Welzen, 2002).

Bailey Hortorium, Department of Plant Biology, 412 Mann Library Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. *Corresponding author; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT We report fossil wood specimens from two Miocene sites in Panama, Central America: Hodges Hill (Cucaracha Formation; Burdigalian, c.19 Ma) and Lago Alajuela (Alajuela Formation; Tortonian, c.10 Ma), where material is preserved as calcic and silicic permineralizations, respectively. The fossils show an unusual combination of features: diffuse porous vessel arrangement, simple perforation plates, alternate intervessel pitting, vessel–ray parenchyma pits either with much reduced borders or similar to the intervessel pits, abundant sclerotic tyloses, rays markedly heterocellular with long uniseriate tails, and rare to absent axial parenchyma. This combination of features allows assignment of the fossils to Malpighiales, and we note similarities with four predominantly tropical families: Salicaceae, Achariaceae, and especially, Phyllanthaceae, and Euphorbiaceae.
