Molecules. 2012 Dec 21;18(1):128-39. | Cytotoxic and antioxidant compounds from the stem bark of Goniothalamus tapisoides Mat Salleh.[Pubmed: 23344192] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
Eleven compounds:goniomicin A (1), goniomicin B (2), goniomicin C (3), goniomicin D (4), tapisoidin (5), goniothalamin (6), 9-deoxygoniopypyrone (7), Pterodondiol (8), liriodenine (9), benzamide (10) and cinnamic acid (11), were isolated from the stem bark of Goniothalamus tapisoides. All compounds were identified by spectroscopic analysis and, for known compounds, by comparison with published data.
CONCLUSIONS:
Goniothalamin (6) exhibited mild cytotoxic activity towards a colon cancer cell line (HT-29), with an IC(50)value of 64.17 ± 5.60 µM. Goniomicin B (2) give the highest antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay among all compounds tested, with an IC(50) of 0.207 µM. | Yao Xue Xue Bao. 2007 May;42(5):511-5. | Terpenoids and flavonoids from Laggera pterodonta.[Pubmed: 17703774] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
To study the chemical constituents of aerial parts of Laggera pterodonta (DC.) Benth., the air-dried aerial parts of this plant were powered and extracted with boiling water and purified by silica gel column chromatography and recrystallized. Eleven compounds were obtained from L. pterodonta. They were identified as to be 6-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-carvotanacetone (1), pterodontic acid (2), 1beta-hydroxy pterondontic acid (3), pterodontoside A (4), Pterodondiol (5), pterodontriol B (6), 5-hydroxy-3,4', 6,7-tetramethoxyflavone (7), artemitin (8), chrysosplenetin B (9), quercetin (10) and beta-sitosterol (11). Compound 1 is a new monoterpene glucoside. Compounds 10 and 11 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
CONCLUSIONS:
Compounds 2 and 5 showed moderate activity against bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacteium phlei and Bacillus circulans by paper disc diffusion method, while they both displayed no activity against Escherichia coli. |
