Abstract
The chemical investigation of the ethanol/water (7:3) extract of the roots of Detarium microcarpum (Fabaceae) led to the isolation of one new labdane diterpenoid, microcarpin (1) and one new ceramide derivative, microcarpamide (2), along with eight known secondary metabolites (3-10) including, 5-(carboxymethyl)-5,6,8a-trimethyl-3,4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydronaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid (3), microcarposide (4), rhinocerotinoic acid (5), 1,7-dihydroxy-6-methylxanthone (6), ursolic acid (7), 3β,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid (8), alphitolic acid (9), and stigmasterol glucoside (10). The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on their spectroscopic data. Although compounds 3 and 4 are known, their crystalline structures are reported here for the first time. These compounds were evaluated in vitro for their antisalmonella activity. The results obtained showed that, microcarpamide (2), microcarposide (4), and rhinocerotinoic acid (5) were moderately active against three salmonella strains: Salmonella typhi, Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimirium, with minimum inhibition concentration values of 76.7 and 153.5 μM.
期刊介绍:
A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) is an international scientific journal and a community resource for the emerging field of natural and natural-like products. The journal publishes original research on the isolation (including structure elucidation), bio-chemical synthesis and bioactivities of natural products, their biochemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and their biological activity and innovative developed computational methods for predicting the structure and/or function of natural products. A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C (ZNC) welcomes research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary which address scientific ideas and approaches to generate and understand natural compounds on a molecular level and/or use them to stimulate and manipulate biological processes.
