This study was carried out to investigate the phytochemicals from Polyalthia sumatrana and their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Fractionation and purification of the leaves of P. sumatrana led to the isolation and identification of five alkaloids; boldine (1), norboldine (2), liriodenine (3), predicentrine (4), laurotetanine (5) together with β-sitosterol (6), β-sitostenone (7), vanillin (8), vanillic acid (9) and cinnamic acid (10). The structures of these compounds were obtained by analysis of their spectroscopic data, as well as the comparison with that of reported data. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity revealed that all isolated alkaloids were found to inhibit AChE with percentage inhibition values ranged from 45.0 to 80.6%.

Plants of the genus Piper have long been used as medicinal herbs. The chemistry of Piper species has been widely investigated and phytochemical investigations conducted in all parts of the world have led to the isolation of a number of physiologically active compounds. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the phytochemicals from Piper abbreviatum and their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity, which has not been previously investigated. Fractionation and purification of the aerial parts of P. abbreviatum led to the isolation and identification of five methoxylated flavonoids, namely 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, 4ʹ,5,7-trimethoxyflavone, 3',4',5,7-tetramethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-4ʹ,7-dimethoxyflavone, together with lupeol, lupenone, β-sitosterol, and β-sitostenone. The structures of these compounds were obtained by analysis of their spectroscopic data, as well as the comparison with that of reported data. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity revealed that all isolated flavones were found to inhibit AChE with percentage inhibition values ranged from 24.2 to 58.2%. This is the first report on the isolation of methoxylated flavonoid from P. abbreviatum. The high variants of flavonoid compounds from this species may be used as chemotaxonomic markers for this Piper species.                     KEY WORDS: Piperaceae, Piper, Piper abbreviatum, Flavonoid, Acetylcholinesterase   Bull.

Two new α-methoxy- γ-pyrone analogs, 2-methoxy-3-methyl-5,6-diethyl- γ-pyrone (2) and 2-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-6-propyl- γ-pyrone (3), together with 2-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-6-ethyl- γ-pyrone (1), firstly isolated from natural sources, were obtained from the EtOAc-solube extract of the mangrove sediment-derived actinomycete strain Streptomyces psammoticus SCSIO NS126, under the optimized fermentation conditions. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. Those α-methoxy-γ-pyrones were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity; however, none of them exhibited obvious activity. Moreover, their biosynthetic relationship with piericidins was also discussed.

Study of the chemical constituents of the stems of Derris trifoliata Lour. (Leguminosae) collected in Singapore led to the isolation and identification of three known and two new rotenoid derivatives. The new derivatives, named derrisfolin A (1) and B (2), inhibited nitric oxide production in murine macrophage-like RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with interferon-γ and lipopolysaccharide.

Twenty-seven constituents were identified by using GC/MS, representing 99.57% of the rhizome oil of Distichochlamys benenica. The major constituents of the essential oil are 1,8-cineole (54.39%), β-pinene (7.50%), (E)-citral (7.26%), and (Z)-citral (6.79%). The rhizome essential oil has anti-acetylcholinesterase activity with an IC50 value of 136.63 ± 2.70 mg/mL.

Abstract GC-MS analysis of alkaloid profiles of five Fumaria species, naturally grown in Bulgaria (F. officinalis, F. thuretii, F. kralikii, F. rostellata and F. schrammii) and analysis of acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of alkaloid extracts were performed. Fourteen isoquinoline alkaloids were identified, with the principle ones being protopine, cryptopine, sinactine, parfumine, fumariline, fumarophycine, and fumaritine. Protopine contents, defined by HPLC analysis varied between 210.6 ± 8.8 μg/g DW (F. schrammii) and 334.5 ± 7.1 μg/g DW. (F. rostellata). While all of the investigated alkaloid extracts significantly inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity, the F. kralikii demonstrated the highest level of inhibition (IC50 0.13 ± 0.01 mg extract/mL).

Phytochemical investigation of the fruits from Vitex kwangsiensia led to the isolation of 18 constituents, including 6 lignans (1-6), 3 diterpenoids (7-9), 2 sesquiterpenoids (10, 11), 2 triterpenoids (16, 17), and 5 other compounds. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods (mass spectroscopy, infrared, UV, 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance) and comparison with reported data in the literatures. Among these constituents, compound 1 was a new lignan and named as vitekwangin A. The spectroscopic data of 2 was reported herein for the first time, and given a trivial name vitekwangin B. The isolated lignans, diterpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids were evaluated for their inhibitory activity to prevent nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.
