In Vitro Antiplasmodial and Cytotoxic Activities of Compounds from the Roots of Eriosema montanum Baker f. (Fabaceae)

Malaria remains one of the leading causes of death in sub-Saharan Africa, ranked in the top three infectious diseases in the world. Plants of the Eriosema genus have been reported to be used for the treatment of this disease, but scientific evidence is still missing for some of them. In the present study, the in vitro antiplasmodial activity of the crude extract and compounds from Eriosema montanum Baker f. roots were tested against the 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum and revealed using the SYBR Green, a DNA intercalating compound. The cytotoxicity effect of the compounds on a human cancer cell line (THP-1) was assessed to determine their selectivity index. It was found that the crude extract of the plant displayed a significant antiplasmodial activity with an IC₅₀ (µg/mL) = 17.68 ± 4.030 and a cytotoxic activity with a CC₅₀ (µg/mL) = 101.5 ± 12.6, corresponding to a selective antiplasmodial activity of 5.7. Bioactivity-guided isolation of the major compounds of the roots’ crude extract afforded seven compounds, including genistein, genistin and eucomic acid. Under our experimental conditions, using Artemisinin as a positive control, eucomic acid showed the best inhibitory activity against the P. falciparum 3D7, a well-known chloroquine-sensitive strain. The present results provide a referential basis to support the traditional use of Eriosema species in the treatment of malaria.

Inhibitive,adsorption and synergistic studies on ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana as green corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in H2SO4

Abstract

The inhibitive and adsorptive characteristics of ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana for the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄ solutions have been studied using weight loss, gasometric, thermometric, and IR methods of monitoring corrosion. Ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana is a good adsorption inhibitor for the corrosion of mild steel in H₂SO₄. The inhibitive property of the extract is attributed to the presence of alkaloid, saponin, tannin, terpene, anthraquinone, cardiac glycoside, and alkaloid in the extract. The adsorption of the inhibitor on mild steel surface is exothermic, spontaneous and is consistent with the mechanism of physical adsorption. In addition, Langmuir and Temkin adsorption isotherms best described the adsorption characteristics of the inhibitor. Efforts to improve the adsorption of the inhibitor through synergistic combinations with halides indicated that only KCl may enhance the efficiency of the inhibitor. The study provides information on the use of ethanol extract of Gnetum Africana as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel.     

Stilbene Derivatives from Gnetum montanum Markgr. f. megalocarpum Markgr.

Three new stilbene derivatives, gnetumelin A ( 1 ), gnetumelin B ( 2 ), and gnetumelin C ( 3 ), along with the nine known stilbene derivatives 4 – 12 were isolated from Gnetum montanum Markgr . f. megalocarpum Markgr. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and comparison of the data with reported ones.

Gnetuhainin P, a New Isorhapontigenin Dimer from the Lianas of Gnetum hainanense

Continuous investigation on oligostilbenes from the lianas of Gnetum hainanense resulted in the isolation of a new rhapontigenin dimer, Gnetuhainin P (1), in addition to the dimers of resveratrol and oxyresveratrol reported previously1. Gnetuhainin P (1) was obtained as a yellowish amorphous powder, [(]25D +6.6 (c 0.092, MeOH). The high resolution FABMS m/z 533.1866 [M+H]+ gave a molecular formula of C30H28O9 (C30H29O9 requires 533.1812), which corresponds to a isorhapontigenin dimer. …
