Characterization of the Influenza Virus Inhibiting Fractions of Bergenia ligulata
نویسنده
چکیده
In the course of screening of plant extracts for anti-influenza viral activity, 50% aqueous methanolic extract exhibited antiviral activity against influenza virus A. Bio-assay guided fractionation of the extract led to the indication of the presence of condensed tannins as the active constituents. This was confirmed by chemical tests as well as by thin layer chromatographic comparison with known tannin containing plant extracts. The active fractions were also analysed for the presence of carbohydrates by gas chromatography. Kew words: Bergenia ligulata, anti-influenza, carbohydrates, condensed tannins.

Because previous chemical investigations have revealed the presence of bergenin and gallic acid as important bioactive components of Bergenia, a simple, highly precise RP-HPLC method coupled with photodiode-array detection has been developed and validated for simultaneous determination of these compounds in the Bergenia species B. ligulata (Wall) Eng., B. ciliata (Royle) Raizada, and B. strache...
متن کاملComparative antioxidant and antiplasmodial activities of 11-O-galloylbergenin and bergenin isolated from Bergenia ligulata.
In the present study, the antioxidant and antiplasmodial activities of bergenin was compared with its natural derivative 11-O-galloylbergenin for the first time. Both compounds were isolated from Bergenia ligulata. 11-O-galloylbergenin was found to be very active in in-vitro antioxidant assay as compared to bergenin, which was found to be almost inactive. The EC50 values of 11-O-galloylbergenin...
