Abstract. Alternaria dauci is the causal agent of Alternaria leaf blight (ALB), a foliar disease of carrot crops (Daucus carota) around the world. In terms of phytotoxic metabolites production, A. dauci has received limited attention. Previous studies carried out on the secondary metabolites involved in the pathogenicity of this fungus have only reported the isolation of a ubiquitous non-selective phytotoxin known as zinniol. Because of this, the aim of this research is directed towards the isolation and identification of secondary metabolites involved in the plant-pathogen interaction process. A. dauci was cultured in the Czapek-Dox medium, and the culture filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The leaf-spot assay of fractions resulting from the partition process showed a phytotoxic effect in the ethyl acetate fraction. The chromatographic separation of ethyl acetate fraction allowed the isolation of seven diketopiperazines, identified as cyclo-(pro-val) (1), cyclo-(pro-leu) (2), cyclo-(pro-phe) (3), cyclo-(val-leu) (4), cyclo-(val-phe) (5), cyclo-(leu-phe) (6) and cyclo-(leu-tyr) (7). The structures of the different metabolites were established by comparing their spectroscopic (1H NMR) and spectrometric (GC-MS) data with those reported in the literature.   Resumen. Alternaria dauci es el agente causal del tizón de la hoja (ALB), una enfermedad foliar que afecta los cultivos de zanahoria (Daucus carota) alrededor del mundo. En términos de producción de metabolitos fitotóxicos, A. dauci ha recibido una atención muy limitada. Estudios previos llevados a cabo sobre los metabolitos secundarios involucrados en la patogenicidad de este hongo, solo han reportado el aislamiento de una fitotoxina no selectiva y ubicua conocida como zinniol. Debido a lo anterior, el objetivo de esta investigación se dirige al aislamiento e identificación de metabolitos secundarios implicados en la interacción planta-patógeno. Para esto el fitopatógeno se cultivó en medio Czapek-Dox y el filtrado del cultivo se extrajo con acetato de etilo. La evaluación de las fracciones resultantes de la partición, en el ensayo de manchas foliares en hojas, mostró un efecto fitotóxico en la fracción de acetato de etilo. La separación cromatográfica de la fracción de acetato de etilo permitió el aislamiento de siete dicetopiperazinas identificadas como ciclo-(pro-val) (1), ciclo-(pro-leu) (2), ciclo-(pro-phe) (3), ciclo-(val-leu) (4), ciclo-(val-phe) (5), ciclo-(leu-phe) (6) y ciclo-(leu-tyr) (7). Las estructuras de los diferentes metabolitos se establecieron comparando sus datos espectroscópicos (1H RMN) y espectrométricos (CG-EM) con los reportados en la literatura.

Genipa americana is a medicinal plant popularly known as “jenipapo”, which occurs in Brazil and belongs to the Rubiaceae family. It is a species widely distributed in the tropical Central and South America, especially in the Cerrado biome. Their leaves and fruits are used as food and popularly in folk medicine to treat anemias, as an antidiarrheal, and anti-syphilitic. Iridoids are the main secondary metabolites described from G. americana, but few studies have been conducted with their leaves. In this study, the aim was to chemical approach for identify the main compounds present at the extract of G. americana leaves. The powdered leaves were extracted by maceration with EtOH: water (70:30, v/v), following liquid-liquid partition with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. A total of 13 compounds were identified. In addition three flavonoids were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction: quercetin-3-O-robinoside (GAF 1), kaempferol-3-O-robinoside (GAF 2) and isorhamnetin-3-O-robinoside (GAF 3) and, from n-butanol fraction more two flavonoids were isolated, kaempferol-3-O-robinoside-7-O-rhamnoside (robinin) (GAF 4) and isorhamnetin-3-O-robinoside-7-rhamnoside (GAF 5). Chemical structures of these five flavonoids were elucidated using spectroscopic methods (MS, 1H and 13C-NMR 1D and 2D). These flavonoids glycosides were described for the first time in G. americana.

Extraction can be carried out at ambient temperature or high temperature to accelerate the extraction process of secondary metabolites from simplicia. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of extraction methods on antioxidant activity of secondary metabolites of papery skin extracts and fractions of Maja Cipanas onion (Allium cepa L. var. ascalonicum). Extraction methods were maceration, percolation, reflux, and Soxhlet method, and then, concentrated extracts were fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction based on the polarity of secondary metabolites. Antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The phytochemical screening showed that onion papery skin contained alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins. The IC50 value of the extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and water fraction of the four extraction methods in the concentration range 25–400  μg/mL were in the range of 55.62–107.08, 31.31–84.06, and 126.05–139.82  μg/mL, respectively, while the IAA value was in the ranges of 0.25–0.49, 0.32–0.86, and 0.19–0.21, respectively. Variation in IC50 and IAA values indicate that the extraction method affects antioxidant activity, due to extracted secondary metabolites from simplicia. The highest antioxidant activity was an ethyl acetate fraction by the reflux method, while the lowest was water fraction by the percolation method.

Antioxidants have an important role in delaying the oxidation process and preventing the occurrence of degenerative diseases in the body. Antioxidants consist of synthetic and natural; the use of synthetic antioxidants in a relatively long period is hazardous so that the use of natural antioxidants is considered more potential and safe for the body. The process of extracting secondary metabolites from the leaves of bangun-bangun (Coleus amboinicus L.) is carried out by the maceration method with methanol, then partitioned in stages with n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. This research intends to identify secondary metabolites and test antioxidant activity from the ethyl acetate fraction with the DPPH method. Phytochemical screening results of ethyl acetate fraction showed the different secondary metabolite groups such as alkaloids, phenolics & polyphenols, flavonoids, coumarin, and triterpenoids. Antioxidant activity (IC50) obtained is 64.97 with a healthy category, so that the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant.

There has been burgeoning interest in plant-based feed additives following restrictions placed on the use of antibiotic feed additives in many countries. Phytogenic feed additives are recommended to have a range of useful properties to support the growth and development of poultry to a similar level as that obtained by supplementing feed with antibiotics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial, anti-lipoxygenase and antioxidant activity, and in vitro safety of fractions and isolated compounds from leaves of Senna singueana. Antibacterial activities of the fractions and isolated compounds were determined against a panel of bacteria using a two-fold serial microdilution assay and qualitative bioautography assays. Anti-lipoxygenase activity was evaluated using the ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange (FOX) method. Antioxidant activity was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively using radical scavenging assays. Dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions from solvent-solvent partitioning had the best antibacterial activity with MIC values ranging from 156 to 313 μg/ml. Fractions obtained from column chromatography had significant to weak antibacterial activity with MIC values ranging from 50 to 1,250 μg/ml. Bioautography showed clear bands of bacterial inhibition, indicating the presence of a number of active compounds in several fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction and all the tested column fractions had potent anti-lipoxygenase activity with IC50 values of ≤2.5 μg/ml which were lower than that of quercetin (positive control), indicating anti-inflammatory potential. The ethyl acetate fraction and several column fractions had powerful antioxidant activity with IC50 values of ≤5 μg/ml in the ABTS assay. Cytotoxicity values against Vero kidney cells ranged from LC50 = 40.0–989.3 μg/ml. Bioassay-guided fractionation led to the isolation and identification of a known bioactive compound, luteolin. S. singueana is a promising candidate for the development of poultry phytogenic feed additives.
