| Fitoterapia. 2011 Jun;82(4):666-75. | | Anti-ulcer constituents of Annona squamosa twigs.[Pubmed: 21342663] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Phytochemical investigation of Annona squamosa twigs, resulted in isolation and identification of twelve known (1-12) compounds among them one 1-(4-β-D-glucopyranosyloxyphenyl)-2-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-ethane (11) is synthetically known but first time isolated from natural sources. Their structures were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis. The isolated compounds (2-8, 11) were evaluated for H(+) K(+)-ATPase activity.
CONCLUSIONS:
Three of these compounds (+)-O-methylarmepavine (2), N-Methylcorydaldine (3), isocorydine (6) showed promising anti-secretory activity. Activity of these compounds, comparable to the standard drug omeprazole is novel to our finding. Moreover, there is no information accessible regarding the pharmacological effect of A. squamosa on the gastrointestinal system. | | Planta Med. 1996 Dec;62(6):528-33. | | New dimeric aporphine alkaloids and cytotoxic constituents of Hernandia nymphaeifolia.[Pubmed: 9000885] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Three minor new dimeric aporphine alkaloids, oviisocorydine (1), ovihernangerine (2), and oxohernandaline (3), along with four known alkaloids, (+)-hernandaline, (+)-thallcarpine, (+)-N-methylovigerine, and N-Methylcorydaldine, and five known lignans, (+)-epimagnolin, (+)-epiaschantin, (+)-epiyangambin, (-)-deoxypodophyllotoxin, and (-)-yatein, have been additionally isolated from the trunk bark of Hernandia nymphaeifolia. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.
CONCLUSIONS:
Among forty-four isolates obtained till now, nine compounds, hernandonine (4), hernanymphine (5), demethylsonodione (6), (+)-ovigerine (7), (+)-N-methylovigerine (8), N-formyldehydroovigerine (9), 4-methoxyoxohernandaline (10), (-)-deoxypodophyllotoxin (11), and (-)-yatein (12) showed significant cytotoxic activities (ED50 values < 1 microgram/ml) against P-388, KB16, A549, and HT-29 cell lines. |
