Thus, the MeOH crude extract of its stem barks was investigated in order to determine the chemical composition. A new C-benzyl hydroxlated, uvriatortilisin (1), together with six known compounds, dichamanetin (2), β-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4), chamanetin (5), uvaretin (6) and (-)-epicatechin (7), were isolated. Structure of these compounds was elucidated using spectroscopic techniques, including IR, UV, MS and NMR (1D and 2D). Certain compounds could be considered to have chemotaxonomic value.展开更多

Their structures including the relative and absolute configurations were determined by chemical derivation and spectral analysis. Calamistrins F and G were a pair of epimers at C-26 which both had THF ring from C-18 to C-25 and three OH groups at C-5, C-17 and C-26.展开更多

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory activity of the chloroform extract,petroleum ether and chloroform sub-extracts,lead-acetate treated chloroform extract,fractions and secondary metabolites of Uvaria rufa(U.rufa)...Objective:To investigate the inhibitory activity of the chloroform extract,petroleum ether and chloroform sub-extracts,lead-acetate treated chloroform extract,fractions and secondary metabolites of Uvaria rufa(U.rufa) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis(M.tuberculosis) H_(37)Rv. Methods:The antituberculosis susceptibility assay was earried out using the colorimetric Microplate Alamar blue assay(MABA).In addition,the cytotoxicity of the most active fraction was evaluated using the VERO cell toxicity assay.Results:The in vitro inhibitory activity against M.tuberculosis H_(37)Rv increased as purification progressed to fractionation(MIC up to 23μg/mL). The chloroform extract and its sub-extracts showed moderate toxicity while the most active fraction from chloroform sub-extract exhibited no cytotoxicity against VERO cells.Meanwhile, the lead acetate-treated crude chloroform extract and its fractions showed complete inhibitions (100%) with MIC values up to 8μg/mL.Phylochemical screening of the most active fraction showed,in general,the presence of terpenoids,steroids and phenolic compounds.Evaluation of the antimycobacterial activity of known secondary metabolites isolated showed no promising inhibitory activity against the test organism.Conclusions:The present results demonstrate the potential of U.rufa as a phytomedicinal source of compounds that may exhibit promising antituberculosis activity.In addition,elimination of polar pigments revealed enhanced inhibition against M.tuberculosis H_(37)Rv.While several compounds known for this plant did not show antimycobacterial activity,the obtained results are considered sufficient reason for further study to isolate the metabolites from U.rufa responsible for the antitubercular activity.展开更多
