Chemical Investigation of Seed of Ipomoea hederacea and its Biological Activity
نویسنده
چکیده
Ipomoea is the largest genus in the flowering plant family "Convolvulaceae” with over 500 species, most of these are called morning glories. Ipomoea hederacea considered as a valuable herb for indigenous medicine is renowned for its medicinal properties. Ipomoea hederacea is a favored drug for different diseases because of its oral effectiveness, good safety profile availability in India. The seed of this plant have also been used in both analgesic and antiseptic properties. The present work is aim to investigate the phytochemical investigations of different extracts of seed of Ipomoea hederacea. The methanolic extract of seed was directly chromatographed over silica gel column eluted with solvent petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone and methanol to their increasing order of polarity. The various extracts were directly separated by column chromatography and monitored by thin layer chromatography. The extracts were characterized on the basis of various spectral techniques such as IR, H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. The antibacterial study performed against to bacteria species via; Escherichia coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa. The methanol extracts of seed of Ipomoea hederacea exhibited varying level of antibacterial activity, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 mg/ml against both bacteria. The methanol extract was found to be more active than the other extract like petroleum ether, chloroform and acetone. The antifungal activity of these extracts was also performed against to alternaria brassica, alternaria braceacola, aspergillus Niger fungal strain. The methanol and chloroform extracts shows moderated as well as significant activity against the strains.

The present investigation has been carried out to determine the proximate composition, amino acids, metal contents, oil composition as well as the antioxidant capacity of the seeds of Ipomoea hederacea Jacq. and Lepidium sativum L. Proximate composition indicated a great difference in oil (14.09 ± 0.66, 28.03 ± 1.05) and fibre (16.55 ± 0.31, 6.75 ± 1.20) contents for I. hederacea and L. sativum...

(1) Ipomoea hederacea, a common weed in cultivated fields of eastern North America, disappears quickly following abandonment of farming. (2) The effects of competition and nitrogen addition on the growth and reproduction of I . hederacea were studied during the first year of abandonment. (3) Competition and fertilization had significant absolute effects on almost all biomass variables measured ...
متن کاملTesting potential selective agents acting on leaf shape in Ipomoea hederacea: predictions based on an adaptive leaf shape cline
Leaf shape is a highly variable phenotype, and is likely influenced by many sources of selection. Ipomoea hederacea exhibits an adaptive latitudinal cline in leaf shape, which is controlled by a single Mendelian locus: lobed individuals dominate the north with entire-shaped individuals mostly in the south. We test if the following candidate selective agents, suggested by the literature, are res...
