        Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers, (Menispermaceae), a glabrous, deciduous and trailing plant found in tropical India, China, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar. It is used to treat anemia, debility, diabetes, diarrhea, dysentery, dyspepsia, fevers, jaundice, rheumatism, urinary and skin diseases and snake bites. Its air-dried stem powder was exhaustively extracted with methanol. The concentrated methanolic extract was adsorbed on silica gel (60-120 mesh) for the preparation of a slurry. The dried slurry was chromatographed over silica gel column packed in petroleum ether. The column was eluted with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol successively in order of increasing polarity to isolate a variety of new chemical constituents characterized as trans-cinnamoyl 2-n-hexanyl-7-methoxynaphthyl amide (2), trans-cinnamoyl 2-n- pentanyl- 6,7- dimethoxynaphthyl amide (3), trans-cinnamoyl 2-n-octanyl-7-methoxynaphthyl amide (4), &beta;-D-arabinosyl-O-geranilan-10&prime;-oate (5), 4,5,7-trimethoxy-2-naphthol-2-O-&alpha;-L- arabinofuranosyl-(2&prime;&rarr;1&prime;&prime;)-O-&alpha;-L-arabinopyranosyl-2&prime;&prime;-O-pentane (6), 5,7-dimethoxy-2-naphthol-2-O-&alpha;-L-arabinopyranosyl-(2&prime;&rarr;1&prime;&prime;)-&alpha;-L- arabinopyranosyl-2&prime;&prime;-O-decane (7) and 5-hydroxy-4''-methoxy-7- flavanoxy- (7&rarr;7'''')- &beta;-O-labdan-1-en-3''''&alpha;,19''''-olide-18''''-oic acid (tinolabdenyl flavanone) (8) along with cetyl alcohol (1). The structures of all the isolated phytoconstituents have been established on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. تفاصيل المقالة

        Sobha Kota Pradeep Dumpala Hariseetharam Prasad Dachepalli Anantha Ratna Kumari
        The phytochemical composition, total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents of the aqueous extracts of six south Indian leafy vegetables viz. Amaranthus viridis L, Hibiscus cannabinus L, Spinacea oleracea L, Mentha spicata L, Murraya koenigii L and Coriandrum sativum L wer أکثر
        The phytochemical composition, total phenolic and ascorbic acid contents of the aqueous extracts of six south Indian leafy vegetables viz. Amaranthus viridis L, Hibiscus cannabinus L, Spinacea oleracea L, Mentha spicata L, Murraya koenigii L and Coriandrum sativum L were tested, characterized and the antioxidant potential evaluated. Also, aqueous leaf extracts of A. viridis and H. cannabinus were demonstrated for their ability to form silver nanoparticles. All the aqueous extracts demonstrated the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins (except M. koenigii) and terpenoids (except S. oleracea) while phlobatannins (only in M. spicata), steroids, cardiac glycosides, alkaloids and proteins were absent in all the leaves tested. Carbohydrates were found only in the aqueous extract of H. cannabinus. The total phenolic content was the order of 0.9, 0.2, 1.8, 0.8 and 2.1 mgGAE/g of the leaves for A. viridis, H. cannabinus, M. spicata, M. koenigii and C. sativum respectively while S. oleracea did not respond to total phenolic content assay by FC method. Ascorbic acid, present in all the leafy vegetables with the lowest value of 0.3 mg/g in M. spicata and highest value of 1.9 mg/g in C. sativum. A highly significant DPPH radical scavenging activity was found in H. cannabinus (82.76%) followed by M. spicata (78.08%) and C. sativum (69.76%) at an extract concentration of 31.25 mg/ml while A. viridis, S. oleracea and M. koenigii showed 72.95%, 58.27% and 75.38% respectively at a concentration of 50 mg/ml. FT-IR spectral characterization of the extracts and the synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) indicated the presence of N-H amines, O-H stretch, C-H out of plane bending vibrations, C=C stretching of alkenes, C=O stretch of amide and C&equiv;C stretch of alkynes. The leafy vegetables can be used for the synthesis of lead compounds which will cure diseases. تفاصيل المقالة

These compounds were obtained by extensive silica gel chromatography and their structures elucidated by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as well as comparison with literature data. Compounds (2-4) have been reported for the first time from this species. Some isolated compounds and methanolic crude extract of leaves and trunk were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activities. Kaempferol (16) exhibited strong activity against all the tested strains, with MIC values varying from 15.5 to 31.2 &micro;g/mL, emodin (18) was active with a strong activity (7.8 &micro;g/mL) exhibited on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The trunk crude extract showed a strong activity with MIC values varying from 15.6 to 62.5 &micro;g/mL. تفاصيل المقالة

        Ekebergia (Meliaceae) is a genus of flowering shrubs and trees widely distributed in the African continent. It is represented by four species namely E. capensis Sparrm, E. benguelensis Welw. ex C.DC, E. pterophylla (C.DC.) Hofmeyr and E. pumila I.M.Johnst. The information for this review has been collected via a survey performed through several online libraries including the Plantlist, Jstor, Scifinder, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Dictionary of Natural Products. So far, about 69 distinct compounds have been isolated during the previous phytochemical studies of Ekebergia genus plants. These compounds belong to diverse classes of metabolites such as limonoids, triterpenoids, coumarins, steroids, alkaloids, stilbenes and phenolic compounds. Some of these isolates displayed various bioactivities including antiplasmodial, antimicrobial, antiproliferative or uterotonic activities. This review covers the traditional uses, the phytochemical and pharmacological investigations of the genus Ekebergia over the last four decades (1980 to 2020). تفاصيل المقالة
