Liquid culture fermentations of Fusariumculmorum yield a wide variety of secondary metabolites. In addition to known isoprenoids, such as the trichothecenes and modified trichothecenes, four new derivatives of culmorin have been isolated and characterized by spectral analysis. These compounds are 15-hydroxyculmorone (7), and 5-hydroxy- (8), 12-hydroxy- (10), and 15-hydroxyculmorin (9). The structure of culmorone is confirmed. The biosynthesis of culmorin from farnesyl pyrophosphate is substantiated through the use of 13C-acetate and the oxidation of these derivatives is discussed.

Extracts of Bradyrhizobium japonicum were fractionated on Sepharose columns covalently derivatized with lactose. Elution of the material that was specifically bound to the affinity column with lactose yielded a protein of Mr approximately 38,000. Isoelectric focusing of this sample yielded two spots with pI values of 6.4 and 6.8. This protein specifically bound to galactose-containing glycoconjugates, but did not bind either to glucose or mannose. Derivatives of galactose at the C-2 position showed much weaker binding; there was an 18-fold difference in the relative binding affinities of galactose versus N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. These results indicate that we have purified a newly identified carbohydrate-binding protein from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, that can exquisitely distinguish galactose from its derivatives at the C-2 position.

The present article describes the isolation and characterization of secondary metabolites from the leaves of Cerbera odollam as well as bioactivities of the crude methanolic extract and its petroleum ether (PE), carbon tetrachloride (CTC), chloroform (CF) and aqueous (AQ) soluble fractions. In this investigation, successive chromatographic separation and purification yielded β-amyrin (CO-01), lupeol (CO-02), β-sitostenone (CO-03) and triticusterol (CO-04). The study also indicated the antioxidant, cytotoxic, antimicrobial, membrane stabilizing activities and poor thrombolytic activities. Thus, the present study endeavors to provide scientific basis to establish Cerbera odollam as a potential medicinal plant.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 16(2): 179-186, 2017 (December)

The serial chromatographic separation of chloroform and n-butanol fractions of Ammannia multiflora resulted in the isolation and characterization of 4-hydroxy-α-tetralone (1) and 3,3′-(2 R,5 R)-tetrahydrofuran-2,5-diyldiphenol (ammaniol, 2). Compound 1 was chemically modified into six semi-synthetic acyl and aryl derivatives (1A - 1F). The isolated compounds 1 and 2 along with semi-synthetic derivatives 1A - 1F were evaluated for in vitro antihyperglycemic activity employing 2-deoxyglucose uptake by L-6 rat muscle cell lines. The results indicated that both the isolates, as well as derivatives (1A - 1F), have the property to stimulate glucose uptake. Ammaniol (2) increased glucose uptake significantly (64.8%), while one of the aryl derivatives of 1, 4- O-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-α-tetralone (1D), showed potent antihyperglycemic activity and increased glucose uptake by 94.6%, even more than rosiglitazone (88.8%). Further, since 1D possesses better antihyperglycemic activity than rosiglitazone (standard), this might be a new safer antidiabetic drug of herbal origin.

Lupeol, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, was isolated from hexane and ethyl acetate solvent system. In antiquity, the stem and leaf infusion of Tapinanthus globiferus has been used ethno-medicinally as a remedy for stomach ache, diarrhea, dysentery, and wounds. Lupeol isolation from this species was carried out by column chromatography after concentrating the crude extract using a rotary evaporator, and the structure was determined by analysis of the isolate by IR, 13CNMR, 1HNMR, HSQC, and HMBC spectral analysis as well as comparison with reported data. This is the first isolation of lupeol from the stem of this species. Keywords: Tapinanthus globiferus, Column chromatography, dysentery, Lupeol
