Gardenia latifolia Ait. (Rubiaceae) is also known as Indian Boxwood is a small deciduous tree often growing in southern states of India. In the present study, phytochemical profiling of methanolic extract of G. latifolia fruits were carried out using FTIR and LC-MS/MS analysis. Besides, its antioxidant and antimicrobial potential have been analysed using DPPH activity, differential pulse voltammetry and resazurin microtiter assay, respectively. Phytochemical profiling revealed the presence of 22 major diversified compounds and main were 3-caffeoyl quinic acid (chlorogenic acid), 3,4-Di-O-caffeoyl quinic acid, 6-O-trans-feruloylgenipin gentiobioside, 10-(6-O-trans sinapoyl glucopyranosyl) gardendiol, isoquercitrin, scortechinones, secaubryenol, iridoids and quercetin 3-rutinoside (rutin). The extract showed antioxidant activity (IC50 = 65.82) and powerful antibacterial activity with lowest minimum inhibitory concentration against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (15.62 µg/µL), Bacillus subtilis (31.25 µg/µL) than gram negative Escherichia coli (62.5 µg/µL), Klebsiella pneumoniae (62.5 µg/µL), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (31.25 µg/µL). This study shows that the fruits of G. latifolia have tremendous potential to be used in food industries, phyto-therapeutics and cosmetic industries.

 Objective:The objective of this study is to characterize the phytoconstituents of Tiliacora racemosa Colebr. using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Methods: Preliminary phytochemical and physicochemical analysis was carried out using standard procedures. GC-MS analysis of methanolic extract was carried out using Thermo GC-Trace Ultra version: 5.0, Thermo MS DSQ with a DB 35MS capillary standard non-polar column and gas chromatograph interfaced to a mass selective detector (MS DSQ II) with Xcalibur software.Results: Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, triterpenoids, steroids, proteins and amino acids, carbohydrates, saponins and coumarin. Quinones, anthraquinones, glycosides and fixed oil were absent. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 28 compounds of which quinic acid (retention times [RT]: 15.65) and inositol, 1-deoxy-(CAS) (RT: 19.24) was observed as abundant compounds.Conclusion: The presence of various bioactive compounds confirms the medicinal importance and it’s application for curing various diseases by traditional practitioners. However, isolation and characterization of potential bioactive compounds would lead to drug formulation.

Aronia melanocarpa L. fruit (common black chokeberry) is one of the most abundant sources of antioxidant compounds in the plant world, superior to all edible fruits; chokeberry fruits contain up to 100 g total phenols per kg fresh material, predominantly (−)epicatechin, cyanidin-3-glycosides and procyanidins (60%), added to quercetin and caffeoyl quinic acid derivates.

A new high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of nine major compounds, namely chlorogenic acid (1), caffeic acid (2), sweroside (3), loganin (4), secoxyloganin (5), 3,5-di- O-caffeoyl quinic acid (6), luteolin-7- O-glucoside (7), rutin (8) and 3,4-di- O-caffeoyl quinic acid (9), in Caulis Lonicerae Japonicae (CLJ), a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal herb. The separation was achieved on a C-18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm) with a column temperature of 30°C and a flow-rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase was composed of (A) aqueous formic acid (0.1%, v/v) and (B) methanol, using a gradient elution of 30% B for 0-13 min, 30–40% B for 13–17 min, and 40–49% B for 17–30 min. The limit of detection ( S/ N = 3) ranged from 0.8 to 5.1 ng/mL and the limit of quantification ( S/ N = 10) varied from 3.4 to 16.9 ng/mL. All calibration curves showed good linear regression ( r2 > 0.9976) within the test ranges. The intra- and inter-day precisions, as determined from sample solutions, were below 2.2 and 4.3%, respectively. The recoveries for nine compounds were within 91.3 and 104.2%. This proposed method has been successfully applied to evaluation of commercial samples of CLJ from different markets in China, which provides a new basis of assessment of the quality of the herbal drug.

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is a spice widely used for its medical properties, though the species lacks scientific evidence regarding its toxicity and biologic effects. The aim of this study was the chemical identification by GC-MS analysis and evaluation of the hemolytic, anticoagulant, antidiarrheal and antipyretic activities of the essential oil from S. aromaticum (EOSa) in adult male mice. Essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and provided 9.8% v/w yield. GC-MS analyses allowed the identification of nine constituents, with eugenol (84.63%) as the majority. EOSa was diluted in several concentrations (0.005–2 mg/mL) for hemolytic assays, showing hemolytic activity above 20% in concentrations higher than 0.625 mg/mL. Different concentrations of EOSa induced a coagulation time 100% higher than control blood. 50 and 100 mg/kg of EOSa caused additional intestinal motility induced by castor oil by 90–100%. Fever, induced by Saccharomyces cerevisae 15% (s.c.), was controlled by 50 and 100 mg/kg EOSa (p.o.), effects similar to 100 mg/kg dypirone. Results showed that when used orally, EOSa may have a certain degree of toxicity in high dosages, but with antipyretic and intestinal motility properties.
