Sulfur-Containing Compounds from Clinacanthus siamensis

Sulfur-containing compounds from Clinacanthus siamensis.

Two new sulfur-containing compounds, trans-3-methylsulfonyl-2-propenol (1) and trans-3-methylsulfinyl-2-propenol (2) were isolated together with trans-3-methylthioacrylamide (3), entadamide A (4) and entadamide C (5) from the leaves of Clinacanthus siamensis. The structures were established on the basis of the spectroscopic data. The compounds were tested for antimalarial and antimycobacterial ...

Effects of Clinacanthus siamensis leaf extract on influenza virus infection.

Ethanolic extracts of 20 medicinal plants were screened for influenza virus NA inhibition and in vitro antiviral activities using MDCK cells in an MTT assay. The vaccine proteins of influenza virus A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), mouse-adapted influenza virus A/Guizhou/54/89 (A/G)(H3N2) and mouse-adapted influenza virus B/Ibaraki/2/85 (B/I) were used in the NA inhibition assay, and mouse-adapted ...

In Vitro Propagation in Clinacanthus Siamensis Bremek- a Medicinal Taxon of Western Ghats, India

In vitro propagation through nodal explants by indirect organogenesis of Clinacanthus siamensis Bremek. Nodal segments were surface sterilised in NaOCl for 5 min. This is followed by treating it with 0.1% Hgcl2 for 8 min. Different concentrations of BAP and 2P were added to full strength MS medium for culture initiation. Multiple shoots were formed in MS medium augmented with various concentrat...
