Phytoconstituents of Jatropha curcas L. leaves and their immunomodulatory activity on humoral and cell-mediated immune response in chicks.

29 Jun 2009 A novel biflavone di-C-glucoside, 6,6"-di-C-beta-D-glucopyranoside-methylene-(8,8")-biapigenin (1), was isolated from the leaves of Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae), together with six known compounds; apigenin 7-O-beta-D-neohesperidoside (2), ... Read more...

New macrocyclic diterpenoids from Jatropha multifida.

27 Feb 2009 Chemical investigation on the stems of Jatropha multifida resulted in the isolation of two new macrocyclic diterpenoids whose structures were established by extensive studies of their 1D and 2D-NMR spectra. The occurrence of ten other known ... Read more...

Potential of Jatropha curcas as a source of renewable oil and animal feed.

11 Feb 2009 Jatropha curcas (L.) is a perennial plant of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Recently, it has received much attention as a potential source of vegetable oil as a replacement for petroleum, and, in particular, the production of biodiesel. Despite ... Read more...
