The genus Acacia has been known to be a rich source of many secondary metabolites. This study was carried to isolate chemical constituents present in the stem bark of Acacia auriculiformis. The dichloromethane extract of the stem bark of Acacia auriculiformis was obtained by maceration. The extract obtained was subjected to silica gel column chromatography and preparative TLC. The isolated compounds were identified by spectroscopic analysis. This led to the isolation of ferulic acid ester (I), along with a steroid (II) and a triterpenoid (III). The structure of compound I was established using spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry) and identified to be dodecyl-4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-trans-cinnamate (I), compounds II and III were found to be á-spinasterol and lupenol respectively, based on the comparison of their spectral data NMR and MS with literature report. Compound I is being reported for the first time in the genus Acacia.

This article focuses on the chemical constituents and protection of biodiversity through plantation of saplings of Corypha taliera Roxb., a critically endangered plant of Bangladesh. Until 2010, the tree in the campus of University of Dhaka, used to be considered as the lone surviving species in the world in nature. Succesive chromatographic separation and purification of the methanol extract of air dried flowers of C. taliera provided β-sitosterol (1), β-amyrin (2), and betulinic acid (3) for the first time from its flowers. The structures of these purified compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis and comparison of spectral data with published values as well as co-TLC with authentic samples. On the other hand, 500 mature seeds were sown in seed beds in the Medicinal Plant Garden of Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Dhaka, and Azimpur Government Officers' Quarter premises. After 40 days, the root was first seen to grow in its habitat and 85 days later the shoot developed up to 2.5 cm in height. The rate of germination was found to be 89-93%. The produced saplings were later on planted in different places of Bangladesh for conservation of the plant and protection of biodiversity by ex situ arrangement.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 20(2): 213-220, 2017

Abstract Aim: To isolate and determine the chemical constituents of the stem bark of Cordia dichotoma (Forst f.), a plant used for medicinal purpose in folk medicine. Materials and methods: Petroleum ether extract of the stem bark was used for this study. Saponification process was performed to separate fatty acid and unsaponifiable matter. Results: One triterpenoids, α-amyrin was isolated from the bark by using isocratic elution. The chemical compounds isolated, for the first time, were analyzed by GC/MS, IR, and UV. The chemical composition of the fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs) in bark of Cordia dichotoma were also analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. After methyl-esterification, 17 components were identified in the bark. The derivatization conditions were investigated in order to validate this method. Conclusion: The present analysis revealed that Cordia dichotoma stem bark contains 17 fatty acid. The principal themes of the review highlight the development and application of chromatographic techniques for the separation, isolation and detection of the compounds.

The essential oil and the major non-volatile secondary metabolites from the leaves of Piper subscutatum (Miq.) C. DC. (Family Piperaceae), collected in the Ecuadorian Amazon, were analyzed for the first time in the present study. The essential oil was submitted to chemical and enantioselective analyses by GC-MS and GC-FID. (E)-β-caryophyllene (25.3–25.2%), β-chamigrene (10.3–7.8%), (E)-nerolidol (8.1–7.7%), β-selinene (7.2–7.7%), δ-cadinene (2.7–3.9%), bicyclogermacrene (3.7–2.4%), and β-pinene (2.6–3.4%) were the major components. The enantioselective analysis, carried out on a β-cyclodextrin-based column, showed four scalemic mixtures in which (1R,5R)-(+)-α-pinene, (1S,5S)-(−)-β-pinene, (S)-(−)-limonene, and (1R,2S,6S,7S,8S)-(−)-α-copaene were the major enantiomers, with enantiomeric excesses of 28.8%, 77.8%, 18.4%, and 6.0%, respectively. The study was complemented with the chemical analysis of the organic fraction dissolved in the hydrolate, whose major components were 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (63.7–64.4%) and linalool (6.5–6.0%). Concerning the non-volatile fraction, five lignans were the major components. (–)-Beilshminol B, (–)-grandisin, (–)-3′,4′-methylenedioxy-3,4,5-trimethoxy-7,7′-epoxylignan, (–)-3′,4′-methylenedioxy-3,4,5,5′-tetramethoxy-7,7′-epoxylignan, and (–)-3,4,3′,4′-dimethylenedioxy-5,5′-dimethoxy-7,7′-epoxylignan were identified by means of NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The absolute configuration 7S,8S,7′S,8′S was tentatively assigned to all of them.

Tragia benthamii is a medicinal plant of repute endemic in West Africa. However, despite the traditional uses of the plant its secondary metabolites are yet to be profiled. Thus, this study aimed at identifying the chemical  constituents of T. benthamii. Air-dried samples (600 g) of the plant were extracted with aqueous ethanol (95 %) and thereafter, portions of the crude extract obtained were used separately for chromatographic  purifications, GC-MS analysis and spectrophotometric quantitation of the secondary metabolites. The chromatographic purification of the extract afforded a pure compound elucidated as 2,5-dithia-3,6-diazabicyclo [2.2.1] heptane using spectroscopic techniques. Upon silylation and GC-MS analysis of the extract, derivatives of sugar (34.65%), fatty acids (24.11%) and phytol (21.00%) were identified as principal constituents. Also, a total of 6.25 mg rutin/g, 5.18 mg ginsenoside/g and 6.84 mg glucose/g dry weight sample were obtained for flavonoids, saponins and carbohydrate, respectively from the spectrophotometric quantitation. These secondary metabolites are being reported for the first time from this plant. Keywords: Tragia benthamii; secondary metabolites; quantitative analysis; silylation

The phytochemical content of some Astragalus species distributed in Bulgarian flora has been previously studied. Among other compounds, flavoalkaloids, acylated flavonoids, flavonoid triglycosides and cycloartane saponins have been isolated so far. The composition of the rest of the representatives of this genus in Bulgaria is not explored yet. The aim of this study was to perform a screening for the presence of selected rare secondary metabolites (flavoalkaloids, acylated flavonoids, flavonoid triglycosides and cycloartane saponins) in selected Astragalus species. Samples were collected in different phenological stages and from different locations in the country. A novel and rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography – high resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRESIMS) method was developed and applied. For the first time a flavoalkaloid glycoside was determined from extracts of A. onobrychis var. chlorocarpus and A. glycyphylloides. From A. depressus an acylated derivative of kaempferol was newly identified. The flavonol triglycosides camelliaside A, alcesefoliside and mauritianin were proved in samples of A. glycyphylloides, A. onobrychis var. chlorocarpus and A. cicer for the first time as well.
