Abstract
Chemical exploration of the CH2Cl2/MeOH extract of the seeds of Khaya grandifoliola C.DC led to the isolation of one previously unreported limonoid (7), together with 19 known compounds. The structures of all the isolated compounds were established by interpretation of their spectroscopic and spectrometric data, including 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analysis. The full NMR assignment of 2α,3β-dihydroxymexicanolide (2) and that of the new compound 7 were reported together with the chemophenetic significance of the isolated compounds. The crude extract, fractions, and some isolates were screened for their antibacterial properties against five pathogenic strains: three Gram negative, Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae NR41BB, Salmonella typhimurium (clinical isolate), and two Gram positive, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC12600 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC51299. Fraction D displayed a significant activity against Escherichia. coli ATCC25922 with an MIC value of 31.25 μg/mL. Among the pure compounds, the best MIC (31.25 μg/mL) was obtained with proceranolide (1) against E. coli ATCC25922. The isolates were also screened for their cytotoxic activity against the human cervix carcinoma KB-3-1 cell line, and no significant activity was observed.
期刊介绍:
Biochemical Systematics and Ecology is devoted to the publication of original papers and reviews, both submitted and invited, in two subject areas: I) the application of biochemistry to problems relating to systematic biology of organisms (biochemical systematics); II) the role of biochemistry in interactions between organisms or between an organism and its environment (biochemical ecology).
In the Biochemical Systematics subject area, comparative studies of the distribution of (secondary) metabolites within a wider taxon (e.g. genus or family) are welcome. Comparative studies, encompassing multiple accessions of each of the taxa within their distribution are particularly encouraged. Welcome are also studies combining classical chemosystematic studies (such as comparative HPLC-MS or GC-MS investigations) with (macro-) molecular phylogenetic studies. Studies that involve the comparative use of compounds to help differentiate among species such as adulterants or substitutes that illustrate the applied use of chemosystematics are welcome. In contrast, studies solely employing macromolecular phylogenetic techniques (gene sequences, RAPD studies etc.) will be considered out of scope. Discouraged are manuscripts that report known or new compounds from a single source taxon without addressing a systematic hypothesis. Also considered out of scope are studies using outdated and hard to reproduce macromolecular techniques such as RAPDs in combination with standard chemosystematic techniques such as GC-FID and GC-MS.
