The dichloromethane (DCM) extract of the fruits of Peucedanum schottii Besser ex DC. (Apiaceae) was subjected to high-performance counter-current chromatography (HPCCC) for the efficient and fast separation (30 min) and isolation of cimifugin using an ethyl acetate: water (1:1 v/v, K = 1.01) system. The analytical scale-optimized separation was easily scaled to semi-preparative conditions. Cimifugin (11.25% yield, 96.5% purity) was isolated for the first time from P. schottii and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Cimifugin and the crude DCM extract were evaluated using ELISA microtiter assays for their inhibitory potential against the cholinesterases (acetylcholinesterase - AChE and butyrylcholinesterase - BChE), and tyrosinase (TYR), which are key enzymes for the treatment of some neurodegenerative diseases, i.e. Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The crude extract exhibited a weak inhibitory activity against AChE, BChE, and TYR (4.2, 35.5, and 0% at 100 μg mL−1 and 10.3, 40.0, and 12.2% at 200 μg mL−1, respectively), while cimifugin displayed low to moderate inhibition towards AChE and BChE (3.1 and 21.6%, respectively) at 200 μg mL−1.

Fifty-five compounds were isolated from the fresh stems of Cissus assamica, including 14 benzenoids, 11 triterpenes, nine steroids, five tocopherols, five chlorophylls, four flavonoids, two benzoquinones, two tannins, and three other compounds. Their structures were constructed by 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectral data, and were also identified by a comparison of their spectral data with those reported in the literature. Among these isolates, 1,2-bis-(5--tocopheryl) ethane (51) was reported for the first time from natural sources. Some purified compounds were examined for their anti-inflammatory and anticancer bioactivities. The results indicated that betulinic acid (16) exhibited strong inhibition of superoxide anion generation with IC50 value of 0.2 ± 0.1 μM, while betulinic acid (16) and pheophytin-a (47) inhibited elastase release with IC50 value of 2.7 ± 0.3 and 5.3 ± 1.0 μM, respectively. In addition, betulinic acid (16) and epi-glut-5(6)-en-ol (18) exhibited potential cytotoxicity to non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NCI-H226) and colon cancer (HCT-116) cell lines with IC50 values in the range of 1.6 to 9.1 μM.

Alocasia longiloba, locally known as ‘Keladi Candik’, has been used traditionally to treat wounds, furuncle and joint inflammations. A. longiloba can be a new source of herbal medicine against hyperuricemia by inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase enzyme, the enzyme which is responsible for the development of hyperuricemia in human. Existing xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI drugs) show several side effects on gout patients. Therefore, an alternative herbal medicine from plants, with high therapeutic property and free of side effects, are greatly needed. This study was conducted to evaluate XO inhibitory activity, chemical composition, antioxidant activity and GC-MS profile of A. longiloba. Our results showed that ethanolic petiole extract exhibited the highest XO inhibitory activity (70.40 ± 0.05%) with IC50 value of 42.71 μg/mL, followed by ethanolic fruit extracts (61.44 ± 1.24%) with the IC50 value of 51.32 μg/mL. In a parallel study, the phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoids, glycoside and saponin in petiole and fruit extracts, as well as higher total phenolic and flavonoid contents and strong scavenging activity on DPPH and ABTS antioxidant assay. The GC-MS analysis of fruit and petiole extracts revealed the presence of various compounds belonging to different chemical nature, among them are limonen-6-ol, α-DGlucopyranoside, paromomycin, aziridine, phenol, Heptatriacotanol, Phen-1,2,3-dimethyl and Betulin found in ethanolic fruit extract, and Phen-1,4-diol,2,3-dimethyl-, 1-Ethynyl-3,trans(1,1-dimethylethyl), Phenol,2,6-dimethoxy-4-(2-propenyl)- and 7-Methyl-Z-tetradecen-1-olacetate found in ethanolic petiole extract. Some compounds were documented as potent anti-inflammatory and arthritis related diseases by other researchers. In this study, the efficiency of solvents to extract bioactives was found to be ethanol > water, methanol > hexane > chloroform. Together, our results suggest the prospective utilization of fruit and petiole of A. longiloba to inhibit the activity of XO enzyme.

Platelet P2Y12 is an important ADP receptor that is involved in agonist-induced platelet aggregation and is a valuable target for the development of anti-platelet drugs. Here we characterise the effects of thio-analogues of uridine triphosphate (UTP) on ADP-induced platelet aggregation. Using human platelet-rich plasma we demonstrate that UTP inhibits P2Y12 but not P2Y1 receptors and antagonises 10 &mu;M ADP-induced platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner with an IC50 value of ~250 &mu;M. An 8-fold higher platelet inhibitory activity was observed with a 2-thio analogue of UTP (2S-UTP), with an IC50 of 30 &mu;M. The 4-thio analogue (4S-UTP) with an IC50 of 7.5 &mu;M was 33-fold more effective. A 3-fold decrease in inhibitory activity, however, was observed by introducing an isobutyl group at the 4S- position. A complete loss of inhibition was observed with thio-modification of the&nbsp;&gamma; phosphate of the sugar moiety, which yields an enzymatically stable analogue. The interaction of UTP analogues with P2Y12 receptors was verified by P2Y12 receptor binding and cAMP assays. These novel data demonstrate for the first time that 2- and 4-thio analogues of UTP are potent P2Y12 receptor antagonists that may be useful for therapeutic intervention.

Hypericum perforatum is one of the oldest and most experimentally and clinically studied herbal drugs. In this work, using HPLC/MS/MS, we investigated the chemical composition of the methanolic extract of the flowering tops of Oleum Hyperici, an ancient remedy obtained following the methodology reported in Deutsche Arzneibuch 6 (DAB). The chemical composition of Oleum Hyperici was very different from that of the crude drug, in which two new phloroglucinols were identified for the first time. The main components responsible for the activity (hyperforin and its derivatives, hypericin and its derivatives) were not found in the oil extract. The sun protection factor (SPF) for Oleum Hyperici was demonstrated to be low.

Two new fatty acid derivatives identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-6-oxoheptadecanoic acid (1) and ethyl-5,7-dihydroxy-6-oxooctadecanoate (2) together with four known compounds, ethyl linolenate (3), ethyl linoleate (4), ethyl pheophorbide A (5), and pheophorbide A (6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Tiliacora triandra. All the compounds were isolated from T. triandra for the first time. The structures of the compounds were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and comparison with literature data. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and α-amylase. Compounds 1-6 exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with half-maximal inhibitory concentration values (IC50) values in the range of 11.58-424.06 μM, while only compound 1 displayed inhibitory activity against α-amylase at an IC50 value of 26.27 μM.
