Tinospora crispa Miers (Menispermaceae) is a climbing vine with stems rich in warts. The plant is called Akar Seruntum or Patawali in Malaysia and is widely used for treating skin complaints, malaria, bacterial abscess, high blood pressure and diabetes. In the present study, the stems of T. crispa were collected from the locality and succesively extracted with petroleum ether, followed by chloroform and ethanol. The insecticidal active extract (ethanol extract) was  subjected to column chromatography of silica gel eluted with a gradient mobile phase containing hexane, chloroform and ethanol. Among the chemical constituents isolated are n-tetracosyl trans-ferulate and n-octacosyl alcohol, along with three known aporphine alkaloids; N-formylnornuciferine, N-acetylnornuciferine and lysicamine. All compounds were identified by comparing their spectroscopic data (UV, IR, 1H NMR, MS) with data from corresponding values in the literature. Isolation of n-tetracosyl trans-ferulate and n-octacosyl alcohol is reported the first time for T. crispa.

In search of bioactive substances from Mexican marine organisms, crude ethanol-extract from the marine alga Codium amplivesiculatum was fractionated in chromatographic columns of silica gel at 60 Å (230-400 mesh) using solvent mixtures of increasing polarity. All the fractions were submitted to antibacterial assays. The major metabolite from an anti-tuberculosis fraction (MIC = 100 μg mL–1) was purified and identified as 1-octodecanol (1). The anti-tuberculosis activity was attributed to 1 with bases in previous reports. In addition, clerosterol (2) was obtained by crystallization from an active fraction against Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus (MIC = 125 and 250 μg mL–1, respectively). Both structures were established by interpretation and comparison of infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopic data. In contrast with other studies, 2 showed a non-significant cytotoxicity against the cell line PC-3 (% GI = 21.05 ± 0.3 at 50 μg mL–1). To our knowledge, these metabolites are reported for the first time from C. amplivesiculatum, and this is one of very rare reports of saturated long-chain alcohols isolated from chlorophytes. Constituyentes químicos y bioactividad de Codium amplivesiculatum Con el propósito de descubrir sustancias bioactivas a partir de organismos marinos encontrados en México, se fraccionó el extracto crudo etanólico de Codium amplivesiculatum en columnas cromatográficas de sílica gel 60 Å (230-400 de malla) utilizando mezclas de solventes de polaridad creciente. Todas las fracciones se sometieron a ensayos antibacterianos. El principal metabolito de la fracción activa antituberculosis (MIC = 100 μg mL-1), fue purificado e identificado como 1-octodecanol (1). La actividad antituberculosis, basada en reportes previos, se atribuyó al compuesto 1. Además, se obtuvo clerosterol (2) por cristalización de una fracción activa frente a Staphylococcus aureus y Vibrio parahaemolyticus (MIC = 125 y 250 μg mL-1, respectivamente). Las dos estructuras fueron inferidas mediante interpretación y comparación de datos obtenidos por espectroscopía de IR-ATR y 1H RMN. En contraste con otros estudios, el compuesto 2 mostró una citotoxicidad no significativa contra la línea celular PC-3 (% IC = 21.05 ± 0.3 a 50 μg mL–1). Hasta donde sabemos, estos metabolitos se reportan por primera vez en C. amplivesiculatum y 1-octadecanol es un reporte muy raro de alcohol de cadena larga aislado de clorofitas.

Column chromatography of the acetone extract of the lichen Cladina macaronesica (Sephadex LH-20, silica gel and silver nitrate-im pregnated silica gel) afforded eight triterpenes identified by chemical and spectral m eans. α-Amyrenone, lupenone, taraxerol, taraxerone and /so-arborinol acetate were isolated for the first time from lichens and (-)-usnic acid and five mononuclear phenolic compounds were also obtained, four for the first time as natural products. The possible transformation of perlatolic acid into these phenolic compounds is briefly outlined.

The study of isolation and identification of the active compounds of soursop (Annona muricata L.) leave extract were conducted . The metabolite extraction was conducted using maceration method with 96 % ethanol. The ethanol extract was used to test the mortility of aphid (Myzus persicae S.), with LC50 of 100 ppm. The n-hexane, chloroform, and n-buthanol were used to fractionate the ethanol extract. The mortality test of those three extracts showed the LC50 of 545.12 ppm, 136.26 ppm and 117.73 ppm, respectively. The n-butanol extract was separated using silica gel column chromatography with chloroform: ethanol: water (5:4:1), as the mobile phase. The fractions resulted were FI, FII, FIII, FIV and FV. The mortality test indicated that FII was the best with LC50 of 596.48 ppm. The FII was purified using silica gel column chromatography, resulting three fractions (FII.1, FII.2 and FII.3).  The mortality test of those fractions indicated that FII.2 showed the best result with LC50 of 601.17 ppm. The UV-Vis and IR spectra showed that FII.2 fraction contained flavonoides under the flavonon family.

Background: Cyperus rotundus L. (Cyperaceae), is a perennial sedge distributed throughout India and other parts of the world. Its tubers are used as an appetizer, febrifuge and to treat bleeding, blisters, boils, cough, diarrhea, inflammation, lacteal disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, stomach ailments, skin rashes, thirst, vomiting, worm infestation and wounds. Objective: Our study was planned to isolate chemical constituents from the rhizomes of C. rotundus and to characterized their structures. Method: The air-dried rhizome powder was exhaustively extracted with methanol in a Soxhlet apparatus. The concentrated methanol extract was adsorbed on silica gel (60-120 mesh) for the preparation of a slurry. The dried slurry was chromatographed over silica gel column packed in petroleum ether. The column was eluted with petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol, successively, in order of increasing polarity to isolate the compounds. Results: Phytochemical investigation of the tubers led to isolate a sesquiterpenone characterized as 12-methyl cyprot-3-en-2-one-13-oic acid (1), two aliphatic ketone viz. n-dotriacontan-15-one (2) and n-tetracontan-7-one (8), fatty esters n-pentadecanyl octadec-9, 12- dienoate (n-pentadecanyl linoleate, 3), n-hexadecanyl linoleate (4), n-hexadecanyl oleate (5) and n-pentacos-13ʹ-enyl octadec-9-enoate (n-pentacos-13ʹ-enyl oleate, 9), two steroidal esters stigmast-5,22–dien-3β –olyl n-dodecanoate (stigmasterol laurate, 6) and stigmast-5, 22-dien-3β-olyl n-tetradecanoate (stigmasterol myristate, 7), β-sitosterol-3β-O-glucoside (10) and a triterpenic glycosidic ester lup-12, 20 (29)-dien-3β-ol-3-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-2'-oleate (lupenyl 3β-O-arabinpyranosyl 2′-oleate, 11). The structures of these compounds were established by spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. Conclusion: A sesquiterpene identified as cyprot-3-en-2-one-14-oic acid, two aliphatic ketones, fatty esters, two steroidal esters, β-sitosterol-3β-O-glucoside and lupenyl 3β-O-arabinpyranosyl 2′-oleate were isolated for the first time from the rhizomes.

Chemical investigation of the CH2Cl2 and MeOH crude extracts of the roots of Melodorum fruticosum Lour. led to the isolation of 15 known compounds, of which 5, 10, and 12-15 are reported for the first time from this plant. In addition, melodorinol (7) was derivatized to afford six new (7a-7d and 7f-7g) analogues and one known compound (7e). Their structures were identified on the basic of spectroscopic data. Most of them were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against KB, HeLa, MCF-7 and HepG-2 cell lines. Compounds 4 and 7b were the most potent to all cell lines.

AbstractThis research aims to isolate and phytochemically test of the toxic isolate from ethanol extract of the sponge Hyrtios erecta taken from the waters of Pari Island beach, Thousand Islands (Jakarta). Extraction of the sponges was carried out by 70% ethanol at room temperature. Partition and purification of the compounds were done by column chromatography with the stationary phase of silica gel and the mobile phase of n-hexane-chloroform (2:8). Toxicity screening test was done based on Bhrine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT). The compounds of the active isolate were performed by phytochemical test. Based on the results, it was found that the toxic isolate of Hyrtios erecta sponges has anticancer activity with IC50 of 30,497 ppm. The anticancer isolate contained alkaloid, steroid, and polyphenol compounds
