Securidaca longipedunculata est une plante largement utilisée en Médecine Traditionnelle Africaine. L’objectif de ce travail est de caractériser les constituants chimiques et anti-radicalaires des feuilles et des écorces de racines de la plante. Les échantillons ont été récoltés et contrôlés, des extraits ont été préparés et les rendements déterminés, les constituants ont été caractérisés par des réactions colorées et de précipitation et par la chromatographie sur couche mince. Les caractères macroscopiques des organes sont entre autres : lisse, épaisse et jaune clair, tortueuse, rugueuse avec une odeur caractéristique pour l’écorce et la racine ; alternes, entières, simples, oblongues-elliptiques, sommet arrondi avec un pétiole mince pour les feuilles. La poudre des échantillons est de couleur blanche sale, d’odeur forte repoussante et de saveur piquante pour les écorces de racines ; couleur verdâtre, odeur faible non repoussante et de saveur légèrement piquante pour les feuilles. Le meilleur rendement de l’extraction est 33,24% pour le décocté 20% des écorces de racines et 36,37% pour l’extrait hydroalcoolique de feuilles. Les constituants chimiques communs aux deux organes sont les composés triterpéniques et les coumarines ; plus particulièrement les flavonoïdes, tanins et les alcaloïdes sont les constituants majoritaires des feuilles. En plus les mucilages, oses et holosides sont modérément présents dans les deux organes. La richesse des échantillons des deux organes en ses constituants peut justifier certaines utilisations traditionnelles de la plante. Securidaca longipedunculata is a plant widely used in African Traditional Medicine. The objective of this work was to characterize the chemical constituents of the leaves and root bark of the plant. Samples were collected and checked, extracts were prepared and the yield were determined. The chemical and anti-free radical constituents were characterized by color and precipitation reactions and by thin layer chromatography. The macroscopic characters of the organs are, among others: smooth, thick and light yellow, twisted, rough with a characteristic odor to the root bark; alternate, entire, simple, oblong-elliptical, rounded top and a thin petiole for the leaves. The powder of the samples is dirty white, with a strong repulsive odor and pungent flavor for the root bark; greenish color, faint non-repulsive odor and slightly pungent flavor for the leaves. The best extraction yield was 33.24% for the aqueous extract 20% of the root bark and 36.37% for the hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves. The chemical constituents common to both organs are triterpene compounds and coumarins; while flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids are the major constituents of the leaves. In addition, mucilages, oses and holosides are moderately present in both organs. Samples from both organs were found to be rich in anti-free radical constituents. The richness of organ samples in these constituents may justify certain traditional uses of the plant.

Paris polyphylla Smith is an erect and herbaceous plant. It has rich chemical constituents such steroidal saponins, phytosterols, flavonoids, and alkaloids that possess antimicrobial and anticancer activities. In the current investigation, we examined the effect of different solvents in the extraction yield and further purification via column chromatography. The ground powdered rhizomes of P. polyphylla was extracted with 100% hexane, 100% ethyl acetate, 70% ethanol, and 70% methanol. The extracts were filtered, evaporated using a rotary evaporator, concentrated, and measured. Subsequently, the solvent with high extraction yield was further purified using column chromatography. Ethanol produced the highest extraction yield as compared to the other solvents. About 30 fractions were eluted which was pooled into four fractions based on the Rf values and bands observed through thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis.

Background: Lichens which are betide to mangroves are termed as Manglicolous Lichens (ML). As these ML are habituated under stress conditions, they are screened for unique metabolites and biological activities. Objective: The study aimed to establish the chemical and biological profile of ML, Graphis ajarekarii. Methods: The Ethyl Acetate Extract of G. ajarekarii (EAE) was subjected to chromatographic techniques and the obtained isolates were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. The hydroalcoholic extract of G. ajarekarii (AE), EAE, isolates and Hydroalcoholic Extract of host (HE) were evaluated for fibrinolytic (fibrin clot method), in vitro (protein denaturation method) and in vivo (formalin-induced rat paw oedema assay), anti-inflammatory and cytotoxicity (MTT assay) activities. Results: Chemical investigation of the EAE led to the isolation of two known compounds namely atranorin (1) and ribenone (2), which were confirmed by spectral data. The AE and EAE gradually lysed the fibrin clot with 94.54 and 65.07%, respectively, at 24 h. The AE inhibited protein denaturation of about 88.06%, while the standard (Indomethacin) with 93.62%. Similarly, the in vivo antiinflammatory analysis of AE (200 mg/mL) showed potent reduction of rat paw oedema than the standard, whereas EAE and 1 depicted moderate depletion. In addition, the AE revealed prominence inhibition on MCF-7, DU145 and K-562 with IC50 values of 69.5, 42.5 and 38 µg/mL, respectively, whereas the HE exhibited mild inhibitory profile against fibrin clot, inflammation and cancer. Conclusion: From the results, it can be concluded that the G. ajarekarii has an aptitude to act against coagulation, inflammation and cancer cells.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously generated in the normal biological systems, primarily by enzymes as xanthine oxidase (XO). The inappropriate scavenging or inhibition of ROS has been considered to be linked with aging, inflammatory disorders, and chronic diseases. Therefore, many plants and their products have been investigated as natural antioxidants for their potential use in preventive medicine. The leaves and bark extracts of Curatella americana Linn. were described in scientific research as anti-inflammatory, vasodilator, anti-ulcerogenic, and hypolipidemic effects. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant potentials of leaf hydroalcoholic extract from C. americana (HECA) through the scavenging DPPH assay and their main chemical constituents, evaluated by the following quantum chemical approaches (DFT B3LYP/6-31G**): Maps of Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP), Frontier Orbital’s (HOMO and LUMO) followed by multivariate analysis and molecular docking simulations with the xanthine oxidase enzyme. The hydroalcoholic extract showed significant antioxidant activity by free radical scavenging probably due to the great presence of flavonoids, which were grouped in the PCA and HCA analysis with the standard gallic acid. In the molecular docking study, the compounds studied presented the binding free energy (ΔG) values close each other, due to the similar interactions with amino acids residues at the activity site. The descriptors Gap and softness were important to characterize the molecules with antioxidant potential by capturing oxygen radicals.

This study clarifies the chemical constituents and botanical origin of Tetragonula sapiens Cockerell bee propolis collected from Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Propolis samples and resin of Mangifera indica were extracted with 99% ethanol to obtain an ethanol extract of propolis (EEP) and an ethanol extract of M. indica resin (EEM). Column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were developed and used for the separation and isolation of compounds from the ether-soluble fraction. The structure of the compounds was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis, and their molecular weight analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The HPLC chromatogram of the EEP was then compared with the HPLC chromatogram of EEM to investigate the botanical origin of propolis. Five compounds were isolated from the EEP, and their structures were determined as mangiferolic acid, cycloartenol, ambonic acid, mangiferonic acid, and ambolic acid, which are cycloartane-type triterpenes. The characteristic peak of the HPLC chromatograms of EEP and EEM showed a similar pattern, which is that the main components of propolis were also found in M. indica resin. These results suggested that the propolis from Southeast Sulawesi was rich in cycloartane-type triterpenes, and the plant source of the propolis could be Mangifera indica (mango).

Seventy-six plant extracts from the Panamanian flora have been screened for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) bioautography. The most promising extracts with AChE inhibitory and free radical scavenging activities at 100 μg were those of Tabernaemontana panamensis (Markgr., Boiteau & L. Allorge) Leeuwenb., Pentagonia macrophylla Benth., and Warszewiczia coccinea (Vahl) Klotzsch. Bioguided fractionation of W. coccinea stem extract afforded two triterpenes, 3β,6β,19α-trihydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid (1) and 3β,6β-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (sumaresinolic acid) (2), with AChE inhibitory activity. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods. This is the first report of these bioactive triterpenes in W. coccinea.
