This study aimed at isolation and characterization of biochemical constituents of the leaf extract of Senna siamea. The fresh leaves of Senna siamea were air-dried, pulverized and extracted using methanol by maceration method. The extract was screened for phytochemicals using standard methods. Fifty grammas (50 g) of the crude extract was defatted using n-hexane; 20 g was subjected to column chromatographic (CC) analysis using ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions with similar retardation factor (Rf) were pooled and coded. Subsequently purification of fraction SSM5 was carried out using CC with solvent [Toluene and n-butanol (4:1) as mobile phase]. The collection was based on colour bands) and TLC was carried out where a sub-fraction SSM54 amongst other fractions gave a single spot on TLC and the Rf value was 0.71. It was then subjected to UV, IR and GC-MS analysis. The extract by maceration yielded 12.60% w/w and the defatted extract yielded 10.0% w/w. The result of the UV-visible gave a wavelength of 289 nm and an absorbance of 4.268. The result of infrared spectroscopy revealed functional groups thus O-H, N-H, C-H stretching group at 3385.8 cm-1, -CHO at 2955.8 cm-1, -CHO stretching at 2926.0 cm-1,-NH3+ at 1640.0 cm-1, carboxylate ion–CO2- for amino acid at 1449.9cm-1, -N=N- at 1401.5 cm-1, -N+O-=N- at 1315.8 cm-, C-O-C at 1189 cm-1, Si-O at 1084 cm-1 and S=O at 1013.8.

The study was carried out to identify the compound responsible for hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effects of Cajanus cajan (redgram). The methanol extract of redgram seeds was found to decrease fasting blood glucose and lipid profile (p<0.001) on streptozotocin-induced mice compared to control. This activity- guided fraction led to the isolation of a compound, substituted benzene containing polyhydroxy functions fused with lactone (CCA3) by analysis of 1H and 13C-NMR data. Biological studies of the isolated compound possessed prominent hypolipidemic activity. Although a number of hypoglycemic compounds are reported, yet not any hypolipidemic compound from redgram. The compound CCA3 seems to be the first report on hypolipidemic activity from methanol extract of redgram. TAJ 2011; 24(1): 6-10

Endophytic bacteria are microorganisms that live in the internal tissues of plants and have symbiotic mutualism with their host plants. Endophytic bacteria may produce secondary metabolites that can be developed for medical, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Lantana camara is a medicinal plant that has therapeutic potential to treat a variety of diseases such as fever, tuberculosis, rheumatism, asthma, and skin disease. The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize endophytic bacteria from Lantana camara which has potential to produce antibacterial compounds. The method of this research include isolation of endophytic bacteria of Lantana camara. Antibacterial activity assay was done against four types of pathogenic bacteria i.e. Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enteritidis. Characterization of endophytic bacteria was by 16S rRNA gene analysis and identification of antibacterial compounds by GC-MS analysis. Isolation of endophytic bacteria from Lantana camara resulted in BT22 as a potential isolate. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene showed that the BT22 isolate was similar to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YB-1402 with 99% identity. The results of GC-MS analysis showed some antibacterial compounds such as: Cyclohexanone, 2-[2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)propyl]-6-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl), Octadecane (CAS) n-Octadecane and Tetracosane (CAS) n-Tetracosane.

Abstract The activity-guided chromatographic purification of the methanol extract of Knema hookeriana, using pine wood nematodes Bursaphelenchus xylophilus has successfully led to the isolation and characterization of two phenolic antinematodal compounds with minimun effective dose (MED) of 4.5 and 20 μg/cotton ball (μg/ bl.) or 0.018 and 0.073 μᴍ/cotton ball (μᴍ/bl.), respectively. Based on their chemical and spectral properties, these compounds were determined to be 3-undecylphenol (1) and 3-(8Z-tridecenyl)-phenol (2). These compounds were isolated for the first time from this species, and 2 seems to be a novel compound.

Various bioactive peptides have been identified in scorpion venom, but there are many scorpion species whose venom has not been investigated. In this study, we characterized venom components of the North African scorpion, Buthacus leptochelys, by mass spectrometric analysis and evaluated their insect toxicity. This is the first report of chemical and biological characterization of the B. leptochelys venom. LC/MS analysis detected at least 148 components in the venom. We isolated four peptides that show insect toxicity (Bl-1, Bl-2, Bl-3, and Bl-4) through bioassay-guided HPLC fractionation. These toxins were found to be similar to scorpion α- and β-toxins based on their N-terminal sequences. Among them, the complete primary structure of Bl-1 was determined by combination of Edman degradation and MS/MS analysis. Bl-1 is composed of 67 amino acid residues and crosslinked with four disulfide bonds. Since Bl-1 shares high sequence similarity with α-like toxins, it is likely that it acts on Na+ channels of both insects and mammals.

Abstract Chamaecyparis formosensis is a precious conifer endemic in Taiwan. To understand the sesquiterpene synthesis mechanism in this tree, full-length cDNA of a putative sesquiterpene synthase (sesqui-TPS), designated Cf-Cad, was obtained by rapid amplification of complementary DNA ends-polymerase chain reaction. Cf-Cad is 1812 bp in length. To identify its function, recombinant protein from Escherichia coli was incubated with farnesyl diphosphate, which produced one major product, the structure of which was elucidated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. GC/MS analysis, GC retention time and MS matching with authentic standards revealed that the major product was β-cadinene. This is the first report of the cloning, functional expression in E. coli and identification of a sesqui-TPS from a Cupressaceae conifer.

According to traditional medicinal texts as well as modern research, Rubia cordifolia (Desi Manjistha) stem cure various diseases of blood, skin diseases, inflammations, kidney stones, fever and various Kapha disorders. However, stems of Rubia cordifolia (Desi Manjistha) are often adulterated with stems of Rubia tinctorum (Irani Manjistha) due to morphological similarity. This adulteration is extremely harmful as R. tinctorum has Lucidin as one of the chemical constituents, which has severe genotoxic effects. The present work focuses on developing a comparative HPTLC fingerprint and GC-MS analysis of R. cordifolia and R. tinctorum, so as to detect the adulteration by R. tinctorum in R. cordifolia raw material form and in formulations. Methanol extracts of the individually powdered stems were used to develop a suitable mobile phase, such that a clear spot was obtained in TLC of R. tinctorum but not in TLC of R. cordifolia using the same mobile phase. This mobile phase was further used to develop a comparative HPTLC fingerprint of the two species. Methanol extracts of R. cordifolia and R. tinctorum were used for investigation of phytoconstituents by GC-MS analysis. The mobile phase n-butanol: ethanol (6:4) was the one which gave a clear single spot at Rf 0.89 in TLC of methanol extract of R. tinctorum but not in TLC of methanol extract of R. cordifolia, at 254nm and 366nm. Further, HPTLC analysis gave results clearly differentiating the two species using the same mobile phase. Further, GC-MS analysis of R. cordioflia revealed the presence of 9 phytoconstituents while R. tinctorum revealed the presence of 6 phytoconstituents, which are different from each other. Thus, these simple yet sophisticated techniques will be very useful for herbal industry in standardization and detection of adulteration of R. tinctorum in R. cordifolia formulations, thereby benefitting the patients who consume Manjistha formulations.
