Steroid and triterpenoid compounds in petroleum ether fractions of red algae Eucheuma cottonii were isolated by slurry column chromatography. Isolation was started with maceration extraction using methanol solvent. The methanol extract was hydrolyzed with HCl 2 N and partitioned using petroleum ether solvent. The presence of steroid and triterpenoid was determined by phytochemical test using Lieberman Burchard reagent. Petroleum ether fraction was separated by slurry column chromatography with the variation of eluent composition n-hexane: ethyl acetate 16:4; 17:3; 18:2. The isolates were monitored by analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and the best result was identified using FTIR. Percent yields of methanol extract and petroleum ether fraction were 11.866% and 8.03%, respectively. The optimum eluent composition in column chromatography for separation was n-hexane : ethyl acetate (18:2) obtained 2 steroid and 3 triterpenoid fractions. FTIR analysis gives information about functional groups of –OH, C=C, C-O, CH2, -C(CH3)2forsteroids and functional groups of –OH, C=O, C=C, CH2, -C(CH3)2 for triterpenoid.Keywords: Eucheuma cottonii, column chromatography, steroid, triterpenoid, variation of eluent composition  Senyawa steroid dan triterpenoid dalam fraksi petroleum eter alga merah Eucheuma cottonii telah diisolasi menggunakan kromatografi kolom basah.

Clerodendrum viscosum is a traditionally used medicinal plant. The present study aimed to analyze a detailed cytotoxic effect of the nonpolar petroleum ether fraction (AQPEF) of leaf aqueous extract of C. viscosum Vent. (LAECV) in Allium cepa root tip cells. The LAECV was fractionated with petroleum ether and tested for A. cepa toxicity at early hours (2 and 4 h treatment) at concentrations 0, 0.050, 0.100, 0.150 and 0.200 mg mL-1. The highest aberrant cell percentage (10.45%) was scored from 0.150 mg mL-1 followed by0.100 mg mL-1 (8.75%) concentration at 4 h treated samples. The AQPEF treatment induced a significant (p<0.0001) increase in micronuclei frequency; 4.31, 5.08, 5.05 and 3.05% respectively at concentrations 0.50, 0.100, 0.150, and 0.200 mg mL-1. The highest polyploid frequency (20.14%) induced with 0.100 mg mL-1 of AQPEF at 16 h recovery. 0.150 mg mL-1 is the most effective concentration of AQPEF to decipher its activity similar to colchicine (0.150 mg mL-1). In summary, the present study indicates petroleum ether is suitable for extraction of the active phytochemicals of LAECV having cytotoxic effects on A. cepa root tip cells. The AQPEF has colchicine like micronuclei, polyploidy, and mitotic abnormality inducing potentials in A. cepa root apical meristem cells.

Methanolic extract of Clinacanthus nutans Lindau leaves (MECN) has been reported to exert antinociceptive activity. The present study aimed to elucidate the possible antinociceptive mechanisms of a lipid-soluble fraction of MECN, which was obtained after sequential extraction in petroleum ether. The petroleum ether fraction of C. nutans (PECN), administered orally to mice, was (i) subjected to capsaicin-, glutamate-, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-, bradykinin-induced nociception model; (ii) prechallenged (intraperitoneal (i.p.)) with 0.15 mg/kg yohimbine, 1 mg/kg pindolol, 3 mg/kg caffeine, 0.2 mg/kg haloperidol, or 10 mg/kg atropine, which were the respective antagonist of α2-adrenergic, β-adrenergic, adenosinergic, dopaminergic, or muscarinic receptors; and (iii) prechallenged (i.p.) with 10 mg/kg glibenclamide, 0.04 mg/kg apamin, 0.02 mg/kg charybdotoxin, or 4 mg/kg tetraethylammonium chloride, which were the respective inhibitor of ATP sensitive-, small conductance Ca2+-activated-, large conductance Ca2+-activated-, or nonselective voltage-activated-K+ channel. Results obtained demonstrated that PECN (100, 250, and 500 mg/kg) significantly (P<0.05) inhibited all models of nociception described earlier. The antinociceptive activity of 500 mg/kg PECN was significantly (P<0.05) attenuated when prechallenged with all antagonists or K+ channel blockers. However, only pretreatment with apamin and charybdotoxin caused full inhibition of PECN-induced antinociception. The rest of the K+ channel blockers and all antagonists caused only partial inhibition of PECN antinociception, respectively. Analyses on PECN’s phytoconstituents revealed the presence of antinociceptive-bearing bioactive compounds of volatile (i.e., derivatives of γ–tocopherol, α–tocopherol, and lupeol) and nonvolatile (i.e., cinnamic acid) nature. In conclusion, PECN exerts a non-opioid-mediated antinociceptive activity involving mainly activation of adenosinergic and cholinergic receptors or small- and large-conductance Ca2+-activated-K+ channels.
