A novel furo-furan lactone 1 has been isolated as fine needles from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of Heliotropium eichwaldi. This is the first report of any furo-furan from the genus Heliotropium. β -Sitosterol 3-O-β -D-glucoside 2 has also been obtained for the first time from this source. The structure of 1 was elucidated by X-ray diffraction studies.

The new secoiridoids Enicostemins A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the n-butanol-soluble fraction of Enicostemma verticillatum along with gentiocrucine (3) and rutin (4), which were isolated for the first time from the genus Verticillatum. Their structures were assigned based on spectroscopic studies.

A new pregnane derivative, 2,6β,7β-trihydroxy-4-methyl-19-norpregna-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one, has been isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of Potentilla evestita along with a pregnane derivative, 11α,17α,21-trihydroxypregna-4,16(22)-diene-3,20-dione, that is reported for the first time as a natural product. Their structures were elucidated with the aid of 1H and 13C NMR spectra and by COSY, HMQC, HMBC and NOESY experiments.

Ampelocissus barbata (Wall.) Planch. is a native medicinal herb in Bangladesh. The present study was aimed at exploring the phytochemical compositions and analgesic potential of the plant in vivo. The methanol extract of A. barbata along with its different fractions were subjected to phytochemical evaluation through established chemical tests for ascertaining the available pool of secondary metabolites within the plant. Eventually, the presence of at least eleven classes of phytoconstituents viz. alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, glycosides, saponins, starch, phytosterols, coumarins, tanins, resins and quinones were demonstrated. Among the four partitonates, ethyl acetate soluble fraction of A. barbata illustrated the maximum types of secondary metabolites qualitatively. The ability of the crude methanol extract (MEAB) and its ethyl acetate soluble fraction (EAAB) to suppress nociception both centrally and peripherally were investigated in Swiss albino mice by tail immersion method and acetic acid-induced writhing method, respectively. At the 90th minute of the tail immersion study, both MEAB and EAAB administered at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (MEAB1, MEAB2, EAAB1, EAAB2) exhibited 240.41%, 285.34%, 302.83% and 339.60% elongation of pain response, respectively, in comparison to the standard, pentazocine which effectuated 421.36% elongation at the same mark. Moreover, the test samples at the same doses as before exhibited reduction of pain sensation by 66.81%, 74.08%, 76.81%, and 83.52%, respectively, in the acetic acid-induced writhing response in mice. Both the central and peripheral analgesic potentials of EAAB were discernibly higher than those of MEAB at both doses. The findings of the study represents the pharmacological potential of this species in appropriate animal model for the first time and provides valid foundation to warrant future scientific endeavors into the plant.

Introduction: Herein we report the green synthesis and characterization of silverreduced graphene oxide nanocomposites (Ag-rGO) using Acacia nilotica gum for the first time. Experimental: We demonstrate the Hg2+ ions sensing ability of the Ag-rGO nanocomposites form aqueous medium. The developed colorimetric sensor method is simple, fast and selective for the detection of Hg2+ ions in aqueous media in presence of other associated ions. A significant color change was noticed with naked eye upon Hg2+ addition. The color change was not observed for cations including Sr2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Fe2+, Ba2+ and Mn2+indicating that only Hg2+ shows a strong interaction with Ag-rGO nanocomposites. Under the most suitable condition, the calibration plot (A0-A) against concentration of Hg2+ was linear in the range of 0.1-1.0 ppm with a correlation coefficient (R2) value 0.9998. Results & Conclusion The concentration of Hg2+ was quantitatively determined with the Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.85 ppm. Also, this method shows excellent selectivity towards Hg2+ over nine other cations tested. Moreover, the method offers a new cost effective, rapid and simple approach for the detection of Hg2+ in water samples.

Abstract Each of 65 laboratories analyzed 10 whole-blood samples for erythrocyte protoporphyrin by one or more of several analytical procedures. These procedures were of two types: (a) extraction of protoporphyrin from the erythrocytes into ethyl acetate/acetic acid, re-extraction into hydrochloric acid, and fluorometric measurement; or (b) direct reading in a portable fluorometer (hematofluorometer), with no pretreatment of the blood sample. Interlaboratory correlation was generally poor, especially between laboratories using extraction procedures. Hematofluorometric results intercorrelated better, but they had a low bias as compared to the extraction approach. Nationwide standardization of the test is required to assure satisfactory interlaboratory performance and to identify laboratories whose results are sufficiently accurate to be used for interpretations according to guidelines set forth by the Center for Disease Control for erythrocyte protoporphyrin testing.

Abstract Separation of natural compounds directly from the crude extract is a challenging work for traditional column chromatography. In the present study, an efficient method for separation of three main compounds from the crude extract of Dracocephalum tanguticum has been successfully established by high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The crude extract was directly introduced into HSCCC by using dimethyl sulfoxide as cosolvent. Ethyl acetate/n-butyl alcohol/0.3% glacial acetic acid (4: 1: 5, v/v) system was used and three target compounds with purity higher than 80% were obtained. Preparative HPLC was used for further purification and three target compounds with purity higher than 98% were obtained. The compounds were identified as chlorogenic acid, pedaliin and pedaliin-6″-acetate.
