Five compounds were isolated from a hexane extract of the stem bark of Amoora cucullata. The structures of the isolated compounds were established as fridelin (1), stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, betulinic acid (2) and caffeic acid (3) by extensive spectroscopic studies, including high field NMR and MS analyses. This is the first report of occurrence of these compounds from A. cucullata. Key words: Amoora cucullata, Meliaceae, Fridelin, Betulinic acid, Caffeic acid, β-Sitosterol, Stigmasterol Dhaka Univ. J.

Two terpenoids, β-amyrin (1) and β-sitostenone (2) and a coumarin, scopoletin (3) were isolated from petroleum ether and dichloromethane soluble extracts of the stem bark of Bursera serrata Wall. The structures of the isolated compounds 1-3 were established by extensive spectroscopic studies as well as by comparison with published data. Although compounds 1-3 have been isolated from various plant species previously, this is the first report of the occurrence of these compounds from B. serrata. The crude extractives exhibited weak antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. Key words: Bursera serrata; Burseraceae; β-amyrin; β-sitostenone; scopoletin; antimicrobial; cytotoxicity   DOI: 10.3329/dujps.v8i2.6023 Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 8(2): 107-110, 2009 (December)

Four coumarin derivatives were isolated from the methanol extract of stem bark of Murraya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng. Extensive spectroscopic studies, including high field NMR analyses allowed to identify these compounds as meranzin hydrate (1), epoxyosthol (2), isomeranzin (3) and murracarpin (4). The identity of the compounds was confirmed by comparison with published data as well as co-TLC with authentic samples. This is the first report of occurrence of meranzin hydrate (1), epoxyosthol (2) and isomeranzin (3) from M. koenigii.Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 15(2): 155-159, 2016 (December)

Reinvestigation of the flowers of Alstonia scholaris of Pakistan origin have resulted in the isolation of three new triterpenoids, two of the ursane type, 3β -acetate-24-nor-urs-4,12-diene ester triterpene (1) and 3β -hydroxy-24-nor-urs-4,12,28-triene triterpene (2), and one of the oleanane type, 3,28-β - diacetoxy-5-olea-triterpene (3), together with two known triterpenes,α-amyrin acetate (4) and ursolic acid (5). This is the first report of the isolation of 4 and 5 from the flower part of this species. The structures of 1 - 5 were elucidated with the aid of extensive NMR-spectroscopic studies.

Two triterpenoids, phragmalin triacetate (1) and lupeol (2) were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Crataeva nurvala (Capparidaceae) by repeated chromatography over silica gel. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic analyses (UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and EIMS). This is the first report of the systematic phytochemical investigation and the presence of these compounds 1 and 2 from this plant. Key words: Crataeva, Capparidaceae, Phragmalin triacetate and Lupeol.  DOI = 10.3329/dujps.v7i1.1221 Dhaka Univ. J. Pharm. Sci. 7(1): 71-74, 2008 (June)

Phytochemical investigations of fresh leaves and stem bark of Plumeria obtusa Linn. have led to the isolation and characterization of a new iridoid, p-methoxy- E-cinnamoyloxy plumieride (1), to which the trivial name champalinin has been assigned, and a triterpene lactone, 3β-hydroxy-urs-12-one-13β,28-olide (2). This is the first report of compound 2 as a natural product, although it has been reported earlier as a synthetic compound. Identification of these compounds was achieved through spectroscopic studies and chemical transformations.

The triterpinoids, betulinic acid, lupeol and betulinaldehyde, were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of Avicennia officinalis (Avicenniaceae) by a combination of column and preparative thin-layer chromatography over silica gel. The structures of these compounds were determined by spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, 1H NMR, 13CNMR and EIMS).

Compounds isolated from the hexane extract of the leaves of Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & L. M. Perry were tested for inhibitory activity against the following serine proteases: trypsin, thrombin and prolyl endopeptidase. The compounds were identified as an intractable mixture of α-carotene and β-carotene (1), lupeol (2), betulin (3), epi-betulinic acid (4), 2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3′-methylchalcone (5), 2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxy-3′- methylchalcone (6), 2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3′,5v-dimethylchalcone (7), 2′,4′-dihydroxy- 6′-methoxy-3′-methyldihydrochalcone (8) and 7-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone (9). Hydrogenation of compounds 5, 6 and 7 yielded compound 8, 2′-hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxy- 3′-methyldihydrochalcone (10) and 2′,4′-dihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3′,5-dimethyldihydrochalcone (11), respectively. The hydrogenated products of compounds 6 and 7 were also tested for enzyme inhibitory activity. In addition, β-sitosterol (12) and β-ᴅ-sitosterylglucoside (13) were also isolated. This is the first report of the isolation of compounds 1-6, 8 and 13 from this plant. Compounds 3-8 and 10 exhibited significant and selective inhibition against prolyl endopeptidase among three serine proteases. This is the first report of this kind of activity for all these compounds.
