        Ethno-pharmacological surveys previously revealed that Hypoestes forskalei (Vahl) Sol. Roemer & Schl.(Acanthaceae), a local medicinal plant, is one of the most widely used herbs in traditional malaria therapy by the Marakwet and Kisii communities in Kenya. This study was aimed at validating the indigenous medicinal knowledge claims on the efficacy of H. forskalei and its safety as a traditional anti-malarial drug. It involved the sequential solvent extraction of plant material, bioassay-guided separation and isolation of components, identification of anti-plasmodial principles of H. forskalei and determination of their cytotoxicity and selectivity. From the roots of H. forskalei, (3, 4a, 7, 7,10a-pentamethyl-1, 3-vinyl-dodecahydro-benzo[f]chromene (1) and (3,4a,7,7,10a-pentamethyl-3-vinyl-dodecahydrobenzo[f]chromen-8-ol (2) with moderate and mild anti-plasmodial activity at IC50 2.39±0.0 µg/mL (7.81 µM) and 4.34±0.03 µg/mL or 15.0 µM), respectively, were isolated plus the inactive kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (IC50 19.75±0.11 µg/mL or 65.40 µM) against Plasmodium falciparum D6 (CQ-sensitive) strain. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study aims to identify and analyze the non-volatile fraction (chemicals, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and triterpenes) and volatile fraction (essential oil and crude extracted aroma fractions) present in the leaves of &ldquo;Plovdiv 7&rdquo; oriental tobacco variety (N. tabacum L.). The results show that the nicotine content in leaves reaches 2.3% (DW) and chemicals such as betulin (2340.7 g/g), carnosic acid (845.2 &micro;g/g) and ursolic acid (596.0 &micro;g/g) (595.95 g/g ), are also present. In terms of free phenolic acids, chlorogenic acid (2545.0 g/g), ferulic acid (1561.8 g/g), and vanillic acid (4461.9 g/g) are found to be dominant. The flavonoid profile is dominated by myricetin (134.2 g/g), quercetin (334.1 g/g), apigenin (493.0 g/g) and luteolin (445.6 g/g). In the volatile fraction, nineteen volatile components were identified (92.3%) where (E)-phytol (53.4%) was the major compound followed by solanone (6.8%), cis-5-butyl-4-methyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one (6.4%) and dihydro-&beta;-ionone (5.2%). In addition, the antimicrobial activity of &ldquo;Plovdiv 7&rdquo; tobacco leaf aroma extracts (concrete and resinoid extract) are tested against nine microbial strains. The results show a weak antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis bacteria, whereas no activity is recorded for the other seven microbial strains tested. تفاصيل المقالة

        The chemical constituents, anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive activities of the leaf essential oil hydrodisitlled from the Gardenia jasminoides J. Ellis (Rubiaceae) were reported. The chemical constituents of the essential were analyzed using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The hot plate and carrageenan-induced models were used to determine the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. The main compounds of the oil were pentadecanal 17 (49.2%), geranial 4 (12.3%), ar-turmerone 14 (8.2%) and 10-epi-&gamma;-eudesmol 10 (6.2%). The essential oil of G. jasminoides at 100 and 400 mg.kg-1 doses significantly (p &lt; 0.001) increased the latency period for the reaction duration in the anti-nociceptive study. The carrageenan-induced edema model reveals the suppression of inflammatory mediators (p &lt; 0.001) within 1st, 2nd and 4th h for 100 mg.kg-1 dose, 1st and 4th h (200 mg.kg-1) and 1st-3rd h (400 mg.kg-1). The results indicate the potential of G. jasminoides essential oil as a source of pain relieving agent. تفاصيل المقالة

        Drimane sesquiterpenes are important group of phytochemicals with a wide range of medicinal properties including antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplasmodial, antileishmanial, molluscicidal, antifeedant and insecticidal features. Due to their wide range of medicinal activities, scientists are prompted to continuously search for novel drimane sesquiterpenes since most of the currently available anti-infective agents have drawbacks such as drug resistance and side effects. Structure determination of new compounds relies on accurate interpretation of spectroscopic data which is quite challenging but can be simplified by comparison with the data of known related compounds from the reliable databases. A large number of drimane sesquiterpenes have been examined by 13C NMR spectroscopy but such data are scattered in the literature making it hard for researchers to use them. This paper provides a review on previously reported drimane sesquiterpenes and a compilation of their 13C NMR data. It also provides a brief discussion on the substituent effect on the 13C shielding of the drimane sesquiterpenes. تفاصيل المقالة

        This article presents the results from a phytochemical study on an acetonic extract from the stems of Pouteria macahensis T.D. Penn., an endemic species of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest. By means of the bioautography method, this extract was evaluated against Acinetobacter baummanii, Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria, of which only the P. mirabilis was found to be susceptible. The acetonic extract was chromatographed on a silica gel column, eluted with hexane and ethanol, producing 14 groups, allowing the isolation of the following compounds: friedelin, 3&beta;-friedelinol and 3&beta;-erythrodiol linoleate, arachidate and linolenate. Their structures were elucidated based on data of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, including DEPT-135, HSQC and HMBC techniques. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the compounds tested against P. mirabilis growth, were 500.0 &mu;g mL-1 for friedelin and erythrodiol and 600.0 &mu;g mL-1 for 3&beta;-friedelinol and esterified 3&beta;-erythrodiol. Based on these results, the potential of these compounds to inhibit the growth of this bacterium was confirmed. تفاصيل المقالة

        Valeriana officinalis (valerian), as a nutraceutical herb, is widely used for its sedative and hypnotic properties. It is known that C15 sesquiterpenoid valerenic acid (VA) is the active ingredient responsible for pharmacological effects of V. officinalis. To evaluate the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) concentrations (50 and 100 &micro;M) in the modulation of expression patterns of the genes involved in valerenic acid (VA) biosynthesis, transcript abundance of identified sesquiterpene synthase (Sesqui-TPS) genes in the root of V. officinalis was monitored by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) within a 144 h time period. In addition, Valerenic acid contents were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The highest amount of VA (12.45 mg/g dry weight (DW)) was found at 100 &micro;M MeJA with a 12 fold increase over control culture (1.03 mg/g DW) at exposure time of 72 h. Moreover, MeJA in a concentration dependent manner enhanced transcription rate of VoTPS1 and VoTPS7 genes. Accordingly, exposure to 100 &micro;M MeJA for 24 h can be more effective in the induction of these genes than that observed for 50 &micro;M. Such enhancement was correlated with increased VA accumulation suggesting that these genes may be responsible for the biosynthesis of intermediates involved in the VA-biosynthetic pathway. However, MeJA treatment seemed to have a less significant effect on VoTPS3 expression than VoTPS1 and VoTPS7 genes. This results provide insights for more effective biosynthesis of VA by MeJA-mediated transcriptional changes of putative sesqui-TPS. تفاصيل المقالة
