The genus Phlogacanthus belongs to the family Acanthaceae and consists of more than 49 species, These species are widespread in tropical and subtropical zones such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Indonesia, India, Myanmar and Vietnam. In Vietnam, the genus contains about 06 species. The extracts from some species in this genus have been evaluated for biological activities as analgesic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic and cytotoxic activities. In this study, the whole plant of Phlogacanthus turgidus was collected, dried, cut into small species, and extracted with ethanol to yield the ethanolic extract. Isolation of chemical constituents was performed using column chromatography on silica gel; their structures were elucidated by HRESI-MS, 1D & 2D-NMR and compared with published data. Six compounds, including two nor-isoprenoids: (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (1), (3S,5R,6R,7E,9S)-megastiman-7-ene-3,5,6,9-tetrol (2), two steroids b - sitosterol (3), daucosterol (4), one lignan (+)-syringaresinol (5), a derivative of phenylethanoid glycosides: martynoside (6) were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the whole plant of P. turgidus. Among them, 1, 2 were reported for the first time from the genus Phlogacanthus, while 3, 4, 5, 6, were found for the first time from this species.

Abstract β-sitosterol and two triterpenoids: ursolic acid acetate and platanic acid have been isolated from ethanolic extract of Vitex trifola leaves. β-sitosterol was previously isolated from the leaves, stem and seeds of Vitex trifolia. Ursolic acid acetate has been isolated for the first time in this plant species. Platanic acid has been reported for the first time in Vitex trifolia and even in the family of this plant: Verbenaceae. These compounds were characterized using spectroscopic methods including 1D-1HNMR, 13CNMR, ESIMS and 2D-NMR (HSQC, HMBC, COSY) experiments and confirmed by comparison of their NMR data with those from the literature. A preliminary molluscicidal test for ethanol, chloroform and n-hexane extracts of leaves of Vitex trifolia against Biomphalaria alexandrina adult snails showed that ethanol extract of leaves with LC50 value 26.42 mg/l (27.92 mg/l - 24.99 mg/l) was more effective than n-hexane extract with LC50 value 35.48 mg/l (43.81 mg/l - 28.72mg/l) and chloroform extract with LC50 value 46.77 mg/l (53.59 mg/l - 43.81 mg/l) after 24 h exposure.

The present study reports the chemical constituents, antioxidant, anticonvulsant and α-amylase activities of the aerial part of Cyperus rotundus collected in Cameroon. Phytochemical study leads to the isolation of six known compounds alongwith lupeol (1), stigmasterol (2), tetracosanoic acid (3), a mixture of β-sitosterol (4a) and stigmasterol (4b), ursolic acid (5) and saikogenin F (6). Compounds 3, 5 and 6 were isolated for the first time from this species. The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR, mass spectrometry and comparison with the literature data. Biological activities carried out on the extracts showed that the methanol extract exhibited good antiradical scavenging activity against DPPH radical (IC50 = 2.873 μg/mL) and very good ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) (IC50 = 7.535 μg/mL). It appeared that the mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate extract at the dose 100 mg/kg protected 66% of mice against convulsion induced by the pentylenetetrazol and 50% of protection when using picrotoxin at the same dose. All the extracts and compounds from this plant showed no inhibition against α-amylase related to antidiabetic activity.
