Two novel protolimonoids, named lepidotrichilins A (1) and B (2), four known protolimonoids, 21,23-epoxy-7α-21α-dihydroxyapotirucalla-14,24-dien-3-one (3), 21,23-epoxy-7α-21β-dihydroxyapotiru-calla-14,24-dien-3-one (4), dysorone D (5), deoxy-flindissone (6), and the two steroids β-sitosterol (7) and stigmasterol (8) were identified in leaves of Trichilia lepidota subsp. schumanniana (Harms) T.D...

In Mexico Agave angustifolia has traditionally been used to treat inflammation. The aim of this study was to measure the anti-inflammatory effect of the extract of A. angustifolia, the isolation and identification of active compounds. From the acetone extract two active fractions were obtained, (AsF13 and AaF16). For the characterization of pharmacological activity, the acute inflammatory model...

Three new prenylated furoquinoline alkaloids named lecomtequinoline A (1), B (2), and C (3), together with the known compounds anhydroevoxine (4), evoxine (5), dictamnine (6), N-methylflindersine (7), evoxanthine (8), hesperidin, lupeol, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, stearic acid, and myristyl alcohol, were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation of the met...

Eysenhardtia platycarpa (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Mexico. Biotechnological studies of its use are lacking. The objective this work was to establish cell suspension culture (CSC) E. platycarpa, determine the phytochemical constituents by spectrophotometric and gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS) methods, evaluate antifungal activity, compare them with intact plant. Friable...

The total of fourteen known compounds was isolated from the fruits, leaf and stem of Fadogia homblei De Wild. (Rubiaceae) and identified as: a coumarin, 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-2H-1benzopyran-2-one (scopoletin) 1, two flavones; 3′,4′,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavone (luteolin) 2 and quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactoside 3, four lupane triterpenoids; lupeol 4, betulinic acid 5, 3βdodecanoyllup-20(29)-en-28-al 6, lup...

Medicinal plant contains matter that can be used for therapeutic reason or which are precursors for the production of useful drugs. Very few and periodic works are there in the literature regarding the phytochemistry and TLC of Viola odorata L. TLC profiling of plant extract gives an idea about the presence of various phytochemicals. Different Rf (Retention factor) value of various phytochemica...
