Bioactive 4-hydroxycinnamide and bioactivities of Polyalthia cerasoides
نویسندگان
چکیده
Constituents from Polyalthia cerasoides, stem bark methanol extract, were previously documented. This study reports the first isolation of bioactive N-(4-hydroxy-β-phenethyl)-4-hydroxycinnamide (1) from ethyl acetate extract of the plant species including stigmasterol and a mixture of triterpenes from hexane and dichloromethane extracts. Trace essential elements were found in the hexane extract in ppm level. The plant extracts were evaluated for their antimicrobial and antioxidative activities. The dichloromethane extract displayed the highest activity against Corynebacterium diphtheriae NCTC 10356 with MIC of 32 µg/mL, as well as, the highest SOD activity with an IC50 of 4.51 µg/mL.

Hepatoprotective activity of Annona muricata Linn. and Polyalthia cerasoides bedd.
The hepatoprotective effect of Annona muricata and Polyalthia cerasoides (Annonaceae) were monitored by estimating the serum transaminases (SGOT and SGPT), serum alkaline phosphatase (SALP), liver and brain lipid peroxidation (LOP) and their total protein content. Both drugs at a dose of 100 μg/kg significantly prevented the increase in serum transaminases, SALP, liver and brain LOP and decreas...

This study investigated bioactive extracts of Polyalthia debilis (Annonaceae) with antimicrobial, antimalarial and cytotoxic activities. Extensive chromatographic isolations provided azafluorenone alkaloids; onychine (1) and 7-methoxyonychine (2) together with a mixture of beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol. The two alkaloids were isolated from the P. debilis for the first time. Isolated fraction...
متن کاملEffects of Fermented Edible Seeds and Their Products on Human Health: Bioactive Components and Bioactivities
Abstract: There is a long history of using fermentation in food production. Edible seeds, such as certain beans and cereal grains, are important in the human diet and provide many health benefits. Various microbes, such as lactic acid bacteria, molds, and yeasts, considered as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) microbes, are commonly used to ferment edible seeds and their products. Fermentatio...
