The phytochemical investigation of Thymelaea tartonraira leaves led to the isolation and characterization six compounds, including one new flavonoid glycoside identified as hypolaetin 8-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (4) along with five known daphnoretin (1), triumbelletin (2), genkwanin (3), tiliroside (5) yuankanin (6). Their structures were established based on spectroscopic methods, such UV, IR, NMR, HR-ESI-MS. Triumbelletin (2) isolated for first time from T. leaves. antioxidant property all...
Chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) was extracted from Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) skin (SGAT) and purified characterized. SGAT characterized by acetate cellulose electrophoresis, FTIR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy SAX-HPLC. According to the results obtained for specific chondroitinases (ABC AC) SAX-HPLC separation of generated unsaturated repeating disaccharides, polymer found contain a disaccharide monosulfated in positions 6 4 GalNAc disulfated disaccharides...
The flavonoid myricitrin-5-methyl ether is a potential drug candidate as gastric lipase inhibitor for the treatment of obesity.
Context: The persistence of fascioliasis in many developing countries urges the search for simple, cheap, and effective substances. In this view, plants provide interesting molluscicidal activities thanks to secondary metabolites they produce. genus Solanum is known its potent effect on vector snails.Objective: activity elaeagnifolium Cav. (Solanaceae) seeds against Galba truncatula Müll. (Lymnaeidae), intermediate host Fasciola hepatica L. (Fasciolidae), was evaluated.Materials methods:...
Abstract In the course of phytochemical and chemotaxonomical investigations Cornulaca monacantha (Amaranthaceae), two new isoflavones, 3‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5,7‐dimethoxy‐6‐(methoxymethyl)‐4 H ‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐one ( 1 ) 7‐hydroxy‐3‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐methoxy‐6‐(methoxymethyl)‐4 2 were isolated from fresh aerial parts C. among with three known compounds named vanillic acid 3 ), N ‐ cis‐ feruloyltyramine 4 trans‐ 5 ). Their structures elucidated by means spectroscopic methods including one‐...
The aim of this study was to screen various solvent extracts seeds Solanum elaeagnifolium display the phytochemical composition, total phenolic content, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity in order find possible sources for future novel antioxidants food pharmaceutical formulations. Various were obtained by maceration. different determined Folin-Ciocalteu method, quantified using a method based on formation flavonoid–aluminium complex .The activity essayed through some vitro models...
For the first time, chemical constituents of two essential oils extracted by hydrodistillation from Drimia maritima flowers and bulbs were identified using analytical GC-MS analysis. Eugenol (41.23 %) carvacrol (27.29 most abundant compounds in while major components p-vinylguaicol (14.33 %), eugenol (8.49 (7.51 %). The antioxidant activity both was evaluated three methods DPPH, ABTS+. total capacity. results showed that exhibited a strong capacity compared to Trolox Vitamine E....
Lipid-based drug delivery systems are widely used for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, following oral intake, lipid excipients often undergo gastrointestinal lipolysis, which drastically affects drugs solubility and bioavailability. That's why developing new resistant to digestion would be great interest. We studied here potential role unconventional Chinese star anise whole seedpod oil (CSAO) as an alternative multifunctional excipient. Pancreatic...
