Cytotoxic and insect -repellent activities of surface flavonoids from Datura stramonium L. Grown in Egypt

چکیده
Three flavonoidal aglycones viz; F1 (Chrysin), F2 (Kampferol) and novel F3( 3,7dimethylether quercetin), were isolated from acetone wash of fresh leaves of Datura stramomium L. Isolated compounds were identified on the basis of their physico-chemical properties, Co-TLC, H-NMR, C-NMR and CIMS specrtum. Significant cytotoxic activity against three tumor cell lines (liver, cervix & breast), was recorded for the isolated compounds. In addition, remarkable repellent action of surface flavonoids against House Flies (Musca domestica) was recorded. [K. M. Meselhy.

Effect of Sodium Chloride on Tropane Alkaloids Accumulation and Proline content in Datura metel and D. stramonium callus cultures.
Plant tissue culture techniques were used to study the effect of NaCl on tropane alkaloids accumulation and proline content of both Datura metel and Datura stramonium. Callus cultures were established for both Datura species. However, MS medium supplemented with 1mg/l of both BA and NAA was the best for callus production in D. metel, while MS supplemented wit...

Phytochemical investigation of Tanacetum parthenium L. family Asteraceae cultivated in Egypt resulted in isolation and identification of four flavonoids. One surface flavonoid was isolated from the fresh leaves and three other flavonoids were isolated from the flower heads. Four sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves. Two sterols were isolated from the roots. A comparative study o...
متن کاملComparison of tropane alkaloid spectra between Datura innoxia grown in Egypt and Bulgaria.
The alkaloid spectra of Datura innoxia plants grown in Egypt and Bulgaria were investigated by GC-MS. Thirty-eight alkaloids were detected in the roots, leaves and fruits of the plants. Five new alkaloids for D. innoxia are reported. Alkaloid spectra of Egyptian and Bulgarian plants differ significantly in respect to their alkaloid composition and main alkaloids accumulated in the plant organs.

The structure and histogenesis of the stigma of Datura stramonium was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy to determine the developmental origin of the transmitting tissue and “wet stigma”. Four developmental stages were defined on the basis of bud length. Stage one, the histogenesis stage, was comprised of buds 2-15 mm in length. Stage two, signified by the growth and develop...
