Isolation and Characterisation of Vasicine from in Vitro Cultures of Justicia Adhatoda L
نویسندگان
چکیده
Justicia adhatoda L. which belongs to the family of Acanthaceae contains alkaloids like vasicine, vasicinone and deoxyvasicine. These alkaloids give the plant its expectorant activity, antispasmodic, antiseptic and antihelmintic properties. Hence, in the present investigation attempts were made to isolate and characterise alkaloids from callus and suspension cultures of J. adhatoda. Alkaloids were extracted with methanol, quantified and identified by colour reactions, Thin layer chromatograms (TLC), High performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) using vasicine as standard.

Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxic Properties of Vasicine Acetate Synthesized from Vasicine Isolated from Adhatoda vasica L.
Adhatoda vasica (L.) (Acanthaceae) is used in the indigenous system of medicine in India. The alkaloid Vasicine was isolated from ethanolic extract of the leaves of A. vasica using column chromatography. Vasicine acetate was obtained by acetylation of Vasicine. Vasicine acetate exhibited good zone of inhibition against bacteria: 10 mm against E. aerogenes, 10 mm against S. epidermidis, and 10 m...
