Abstract An HPLC quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) MS method was developed for the identification of secondary metabolites in Leonurus turkestanicus V.I. Krecz. et Kuprian. Ethanolic and chloroform extracts from the plant’s aerial parts were tested. A total of 16 compounds (iridoid glycosides, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, and nitrogen-containing compounds, as well as diterpene acetate derivatives) were identified and tentatively characterized based on (or using) their retention times and UV and Q-TOF-MS data. Previously reported aucubin (1),6-deoxy-8-acetylharpagid(2), and stachydrine(13, 15)and homostachydrine isomers(14, 16)were identified, along with a lavandulifolioside isomer(3),verbascoside(4),rutin(5),3-O-kaempferol rutinoside (6), and an unknown diterpene acetate(8).Compounds3–6were detected for the first time in this plant. Additionally. antimicrobial activity was evaluated. No significant differences were found between ethanolic and chloroform extracts of L. turkestanicus; however, the alcoholic extract showed stronger antifungal activity [minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2.5–5 mg/mL], whereas the chloroform extract showed stronger activity against the tested spore-forming Bacillus species (MIC 1.25–2.5 mg/mL).

In the present study, the insecticidal activity of plant extracts from the aerial parts of Delphinium leptocarpum Nevski and Delphinium paradoxsun Bge against two major important legume insect pests, cowpea weevils (Callosobruchus maculates) and the rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), was studied. According to the screening results, the insecticidal toxicity of the chloroform extract of plant D. leptocarpum N. showed LC50 value of 0,70 mg / mL for adult C. maculates, 0,81 mg / mL for S. oryzae, respectively. The toxicity of the alcoholic extract of D. paradoxsun B. is LC50 0,35 mg / mL for adult C. maculates, 0,39 mg/ mL for S. oryzae, respectively. Exposure to the chloroform extract of D. leptocarpum N. at concentration of 5-10 mg / mL for 24 hours resulted in 83.0100% mortality. After 48 h exposure, the pest mortality was 100%. Under the influence of an alcoholic extract of D. paradoxsun B. at dose of 5-10 mg /mL, the mortality of pests reached 99-100%. The probable use of extracts of D. leptocarpum N. and D. paradoxsun B.as bioinsecticides is discussed here.

Ammi majus L.; Family Apiaceae; is a plant indigenous to Egypt. Its fruits contain bioactive compounds such as furanocoumarins and flavonoids of important biological activities. An endophytic fungus was isolated from the fruits and identified as Aspergillus amstelodami (MK215708) by morphology, microscopical characterization, and molecular identification. To our knowledge this is the first time an endophytic fungus has been isolated from the fruits. The antimicrobial activity of the Ammi majus ethanol fruits extract (AME) and fungal ethyl acetate extract (FEA) were investigated, where the FEA showed higher antimicrobial activity, against all the tested standard strains. Phytochemical investigation of the FEA extract yielded five prenylated benzaldehyde derivative compounds isolated for the first time from this species: Dihydroauroglaucin (1), tetrahydroauroglaucin (2), 2-(3,6-dihydroxyhepta-1,4-dien-1-yl)-3,6-dihydroxy-5-(dimethylallyl)benzaldehyde (3), isotetrahydroauroglaucin )4), and flavoglaucin (5). Structure elucidation was carried out using (1H- and 13C-NMR). Fractions and the major isolated compound 1 were evaluated for their antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity. Compound 1 showed high antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 1.95 µg/mL, Streptococcus mutans (MIC = 1.95 µg/mL), and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 3.9 µg/mL). It exhibited high antibiofilm activity with minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) = 7.81 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms and MBIC = 15.63 µg/mL against Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans and moderate activity (MBIC = 31.25 µg/mL) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm. This reveals that dihydroauroglaucin, a prenylated benzaldehyde derivative, has a broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. In conclusion, it was observed that the MICs of the FEA are much lower than that of the AME against all susceptible strains, confirming that the antimicrobial activity of Ammi majus may be due to the ability of its endophytic fungi to produce effective secondary metabolites.

Background: The aerial parts of Dipsacus laciniatus are traditionally used in the treatment of colds as cold tea; decoction prepared from its roots and aerial parts are used for the treatment of diabetes and cancer, respectively. The extraction procedures and solvents are important steps in the processing of bioactive constituents from the plant materials. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticholinesterase and cytotoxic activities for the first time in plant’s different extracts. Methods: The antioxidant activities of extracts were examined using FRAP and CUPRAC methods, including total phenolic and flavonoids contents. In addition, the antimicrobial, anticholinesterase and cytotoxic activities of extracts were investigated using microdilution, Ellman and MTT methods, respectively. Results: In the present study, methanol extract showed stronger iron (III) ion reduction (FRAP) and copper (II) ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) than other extracts and also contained higher total phenolic and flavonoid compounds. It was also found that there was a linear relationship between antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds in this study. It was demonstrated that the chloroform and methanol extracts showed moderate antimicrobial activity against S. epidermidis and C. albicans strains. The chloroform extract had a strong and selective cytotoxic activity for the MCF-7 and HT-29 cell lines, while the methanol extract showed low cytotoxic activity on the same cell lines. In addition, according to the obtained data, chloroform extract showed a toxic effect on normal cell line (NIH/3T3), but other extracts showed no toxic effect. Conclusion: Since methanol extract has no toxic effect on normal cell line and has strong antioxidant, anticholinesterase and antimicrobial activity, it is thought that this extract may be useful as an antioxidant, anticholinesterase and antimicrobial agents in the future.
