In this work, the sawmill waste from Picea abies debarking was considered as source of valuable phytoconstituents. The extraction was performed using different ethanol/water mixtures, and characterization was obtained by LC-MSn. This latter revealed flavonoid glycosides, lignans, and procyanidins. Extraction with organic solvents (dichloromethane and methanol) and chromatographic separations of the obtained extracts by silica column followed by semi-preparative HPLC led to the isolation of polyphenols and terpenoids such as 21α-metoxy-serrat-14-en-3-one, 21α-hydroxy-serrat-14-en-3-one, pinoresinol, dehydroabietic acid, 15-hydroxy-dehydroabietic acid, 7-oxo-dehydroabietic acid, pimaric acid, 9β-pimara-7,15-dien-19-ol, 13-epi-manoyl oxide, taxifolin-3’-O-glucopyranoside, trans-astringin, and piceasides. Piceaside V and 9β-pimara-7-keto-19β-olide, two novel compounds identified for the first time in P. abies bark, were isolated, and their structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR and MS techniques. The polyphenolic composition of the methanolic portion was also investigated using LC-MSn, and the piceaside content was estimated. To assess the antioxidant activity of main constituents, semi-preparative HPLC was performed on the methanolic extract, and the obtained fractions were assayed by using the DPPH test. Overall, this work shows the potential usefulness of P. abies bark as a source of valuable phytochemicals.

The detailed investigation of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Achillea pannonica SCHEELE. within a chemotaxonomic study led to the isolation of 6 flavonoid glycosides. Besides rutin, apigenin-7-O-glucopyranoside, luteolin-7-O-glucopyranoside, apigenin-7-O-rutinoside and acacetin-7-O-rutinoside, an unusual flavondiglucoside was isolated. Its structure was established by UV, 1HNMR and 13C NMR spectroscopic methods including 2D-NMR techniques and ESI-MS as luteolin-7,4′-O-β-diglucoside. This substance is reported for the first time in the genus Achillea. Chemotaxonomic aspects are discussed briefly

The present study was objected to investigate isolated flavonoid glycoside from methanolic extract from fruits (Cucumis dipsaceus Ehrenb.) as well as identification. Methanolic extract was already screened for the presence of flavonoid glycoside which was strong antioxidant and hepatoprotective agent. It was first time to isolate these by column chromatography with increasing polarity like Petroleum ether, Chloroform, Ethyl acetate and Methanol solvents of different ratios. Each 20ml elute was collected, analyzed with pre coated Merck F254 TLC plates to compare similar spots and Rf values for same category of contents. The similar elutes were pooled, concentrated dried by vacuum distillation with rotary apparatus. The chloroform ethyl acetate fractions (sticky dark brown mass) were analyzed by pre coated F254 TLC plates and then visualized under visible light, UV 254nm and UV366nm. The developed pre coated TLC plates was further derivatized with 0.5% solution of anisaldehyde - H2SO4 acid and again visualized under visible light and UV366nm.TLC, HPTLC and LCMS methods were used to found and estimate polyphenolic compounds. Spectroscopic methods (IR, 1D and 2D NMR and Mass spectrometry) were used to confirm and elucidate the structure. The concluded structure of flavonoid glycosides was quercetin- 3-rutinoside-7-rhamnoside (M Wt: 756.663g/mol) and plaid with literature data

Abstract Background Artemisia splendens from the Asteraceae family is a new source of biologically active compounds. The current study investigated to evaluate antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity of methanolic extracts and their fractions obtained from aerial parts by agar disk diffusion and MTT methods, respectively. The active fractions were subjected to preparative HPLC for isolating the pure compounds, which were structurally elucidated, by 1H and 13C NMR. Results The results showed that the methanolic extract and its 60% SPE fraction have the anti-proliferative activity on A549 cell line in comparison with the control group. Meanwhile, the methanolic extract and its 40% SPE fraction can inhibit the growth of Gram-positive strains as anti-microbial activity. The 60% SPE fraction also illustrated anti-proliferative activity on the HT-29 cell line compared to the control group. Chromatographic separations via preparative HPLC yielded 5 flavonoids and three flavonoid glycosides. Conclusion Based on the results it can be concluded that A. splendens as a potential source of cytotoxic and antimicrobial compounds can be used in pharmaceutics.

The structures were identified on the basis of chemical and physicochemical analysis (UV, HRESI-MS, 1 and 2D NMR).

The genus Mitrephora has been investigated and its anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-parasitical activities were examined along with its potential as an anti-cancer cell line and inhibitor for platelet aggregation. In this work, air-dried leaves and twigs of M. winitii were grounded and extracted with n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol, respectively. Chromatographic separations of these extracts led to the isolation of three known compounds and one new compound (compound 2). The chemical structures of these were identified using spectroscopic investigation of 1D- and 2D-NMR and the resulting data confirmed these as stigmasterol (1), (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)(5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)methanol (2), diayangambin (3), and methyl-L-inositol (4). The chemical constituents were reported the first time in M. winitii. Compound 2 showed anti-cancer cell lines with ED50 13.07 µg/mL against KB cells and then was tested for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells with ED50 11.77 µg/mL.

The chemical composition of Cirsium vulgare flower heads was examined. Petrol and chloroform extracts of this plant material were analyzed by GC-MS for the presence of fatty acids, phytosterols, and triterpenes. Diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions of the methanolic extract were subjected to multistep chromatographic separations, and as a result, fourteen flavonoids were obtained (1–14). All compounds were isolated from this morphological part for the first time and eleven from the plant. Among the identified components were four aglycones, eight glycosides, and two glycoside esters, derivatives of apigenin, luteolin, kaemferol, and quercetin. One of them was a rarely occurring compound apigenin 7- O-β-(6″-butyl)-glucuronide) (14). Total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity were determined in the various fractions of methanolic extract.

This study reports the isolation, characterization, and biological evaluation of constituents of Colchicum tauri Siehe ex Stef. (Colchicaceae), an unexplored Colchicum species native to Jordan. Methanolic extraction, crude alkaloid fractionation, and separation using several different chromatographic techniques (open columns, preparative TLC, and semi-preparative HPLC), as directed by the brine shrimp lethality test (BST), resulted in the isolation and identification of nine compounds: (-)-colchicine (1), (-)-2-demethylcolchicine (2), (-)-3-demethylcolchicine (3), (-)-demecolcine (4), (-)- N-methyldemecolcine (5), (-)-3-demethyl- N-methyldemecolcine (6), β-lumicolchicine (7), 3-demethyl-β-lumicolchicine (8), and apigenin (9). Compounds 1–5 and 7–8 were isolated for the first time from this species, while compound (6) represents a new colchicinoid. The structure elucidations were achieved using a series of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques, principally 1D-NMR (1H, and 13C), 2D-NMR (COSY, ROESY, HMBC, and HSQC), and low resolution EI-MS. All compounds were tested for general toxicity using the BST, and compounds 1 and 4 were found to be the most potent, with LC50 values of 2.5 and 8.1 μg/mL, respectively.
