A new and known cytotoxic aryltetralin-type lignans from stems of Bursera graveolens. (1/8)
A new 4alpha-aryltetralin-type lignan called burseranin (1) and a known analogous lignan picropolygamain (2) were isolated along with known triterpenes, lupeol and epi-lupeol from the methanol extract of stems of Bursera graveolens, which showed a remarkable inhibitory activity against human HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells. The whole structure of 1 was established based on combined spectral studies and the absolute structure for 2 was first confirmed by CD spectral evidence. In addition, cytotoxic activities of the stem (methanol) extract and its components are evaluated in this paper. (+info)Timing the origin and expansion of the Mexican tropical dry forest. (2/8)
Macroevolution examines the temporal patterns of biological diversity in deep time. When combined with biogeography, it can provide unique information about the historical changes in the distribution of communities and biomes. Here I document temporal and spatial changes of diversity in the genus Bursera and relate them to the origin and expansion of the tropical dry forests of Mexico. Bursera is very old, highly adapted to warm dry conditions, and a dominant member of the Mexican tropical dry forest. These characteristics make it a useful indicator of the history of this vegetation. I used a time-calibrated phylogeny to estimate Bursera's diversification rate at different times over the last 60 million years. I also reconstructed the geographic center and time of origin of all species and nodes from information on current distributions. Results show that between 30 and 20 million years ago, Bursera began a relatively rapid diversification. This suggests that conditions were favorable for its radiation and thus, very probably for the establishment of the dry forest as well. The oldest lineages diverged mostly in Western Mexico, whereas the more recent lineages diverged in the south-central part of the country. This suggests that the tropical dry forest probably first established in the west and then expanded south and east. The timing of the radiations in these areas corresponds to that suggested for formations of the mountainous systems in Western and Central Mexico, which have been previously recognized as critical for the persistence of the Mexican dry forest. (+info)The impact of herbivore-plant coevolution on plant community structure. (3/8)
Coevolutionary theory proposes that the diversity of chemical structures found in plants is, in large part, the result of selection by herbivores. Because herbivores often feed on chemically similar plants, they should impose selective pressures on plants to diverge chemically or bias community assembly toward chemical divergence. Using a coevolved interaction between a group of chrysomelid beetles and their host plants, I tested whether coexisting plants of the Mexican tropical dry forest tend to be chemically more dissimilar than random. Results show that some of the communities are chemically overdispersed and that overdispersion is related to the tightness of the interaction between plants and herbivores and the spatial scale at which communities are measured. As coevolutionary specialization increases and spatial scale decreases, communities tend to be more chemically dissimilar. At fairly local scales and where herbivores have tight, one-to-one interactions with plants, communities have a strong pattern of chemical disparity.

(+info)'Bursera' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Burseraceae, characterized by resinous sap and including several species commonly known as copal trees or elephant trees, native to the Americas.
"Bursera" is a genus of flowering plants in the family Burseraceae, also known as the torchwood or copal family. These plants are native to the Americas, particularly in Mexico and Central America. The genus includes approximately 100 species of trees and shrubs, many of which have aromatic resins that have been used for medicinal purposes by indigenous peoples for centuries.
Some species of Bursera have been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including skin diseases, respiratory infections, and gastrointestinal disorders. The resin from some species, such as B. graveolens and B. simaruba, has been used as a folk remedy for pain relief, reducing inflammation, and promoting wound healing.
However, it is important to note that while some species of Bursera have shown potential medicinal properties in preliminary research, more studies are needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness. Therefore, it is not recommended to use any Bursera species as a medical treatment without consulting a healthcare professional.
'Sesquiterpenes, Germacrane' are bicyclic sesquiterpenoids that contain a germacrane skeleton, characterized by a decalin moiety with an endocyclic double bond and a trans-fused cyclopentane ring, formed through the biogenetic union of two isoprene units and synthesized via the mevalonate or methylerythritol phosphate pathways.
Sesquiterpenes are a class of terpenes that consist of three isoprene units and have the molecular formula C15H24. They are naturally occurring organic compounds that are synthesized by a variety of plants, insects, and other organisms. Sesquiterpenes play important roles in plant defense and communication, and some have been found to have medicinal properties.
Germacrane is a particular type of sesquiterpene that contains a specific carbon skeleton. It is a bicyclic compound with a five-membered ring fused to a seven-membered ring. Germacrane and its derivatives are found in various essential oils and have been studied for their potential therapeutic applications, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities.
