Abstract
Decalepis hamiltonii, Wight & Arn. (Apocyanaceae) is a one of the raw materials used in the preparation of ‘Pinda oil’, a medicinal oil which is used for treatment of wounds in Ayurveda. Of the hexanes, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate extracts derived from the plant raw materials used to prepare ‘Pinda oil’, the hexanes extract of D. hamiltonii exhibited the highest mean percentage wound closure (75.1 ± 2.9) compared to the negative controls (1% DMSO in DMEM, 4.2 ± 1.2 and 100% DMEM, 4.1 ± 0.9) in the scratch wound assay (SWA). Fractionation of the hexanes extract of stem of D. hamiltonii led to the isolation of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1) and a mixture of long chain esters of lupeol (2), which showed enhanced cell migration in SWA. It was observed that the esters of lupeol bind to the cell membrane and/or enter the cells during the SWA. It was found that these constituents are also present in ‘Pinda oil’ which may contribute to the enhancement of wound healing activity of ‘Pinda oil’.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
