Article Abstract
The EtOH extract of the roots and rhizomes of Clematis chinensis afforded two new macrocyclic glucosides clemochinenosides C (1) and D (2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic means and hydrolysis products. These compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharides-induced TNF-α production in RAW 246.7 macrophages. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate inhibitory activity with IC values of 12.9 ± 2.3 and 18.4 ± 2.7 μM, respectively. In addition, a proliferation study was used to evaluate the anti-angiogenic effects of these compounds in vitro (VEGF-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation). Compounds 1 and 2 displayed weak inhibitory effects with inhibition rates of 26.3 ± 1.8 and 19.2 ± 2.6% at 50 μM, respectively.

Cyclodextrins (CDs) were the first identified molecules and arguably the most consequential molecules in the areas of macrocyclic science and technology. As carbohydrates, their intrinsic architecture and chirality have played a fundamental role in their response to and effect on guest molecules. Indeed, the nature of inclusion complexation was formalized with CD-based hosts.

Six undescribed macrocyclic compounds, including diarylhexanoids ( and ), a diarylhexanoid glucoside (), diarylheptanoids ( and ), and an aceroside (), were isolated from the roots of Cheval., along with 11 known analogues (-). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, as well as by calculated optical rotatory dispersion and derivatization reactions.

The risk of inducing hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose) constitutes the main challenge associated with insulin therapy for diabetes. Insulin doses must be adjusted to ensure that blood glucose values are within the normal range, but matching insulin doses to fluctuating glucose levels is difficult because even a slightly higher insulin dose than needed can lead to a hypoglycaemic incidence, which can be anything from uncomfortable to life-threatening. It has therefore been a long-standing goal to engineer a glucose-sensitive insulin that can auto-adjust its bioactivity in a reversible manner according to ambient glucose levels to ultimately achieve better glycaemic control while lowering the risk of hypoglycaemia.

Chitosan is a polycationic polysaccharide derived from chitin, and β-cyclodextrin is a type of macrocyclic oligosaccharide linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. These compounds are recognized as effective elicitors in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in plants. These elicitors were studied to assess the growth of shoots and the synthesis of glucosinolates (GSLs) from elicited shoots in Chinese cabbage under controlled in vitro conditions for the first time.

Carbohydrate-based crown ethers have been reported to be able to generate asymmetric induction in certain reactions. Previously, it was proved that the monosaccharide unit, the anomeric substituent, and the sidearm could influence the catalytic activity of the monoaza-15-crown-5 macrocycles derived from sugars. In order to gain information about the effect of the flexibility, 4,6-di--ethyl-glucoside-based crown compounds were synthesized, and their efficiency was compared to the 4,6--benzylidene analogues.
