Fatsioside D (tetraosid of hederagenin) as one of the major compound of “Fatsiflogin”, was selected as a chemical markerfor the quantitative validation. The objective of this study is to develop a simple and reliable HPLC method for the determination of Fatsiosid D for quality control studies of “Fatsiflogin”. FatsiosideD was purified by preparative HPLC and the structure of the compound was determined by NMR. HPLC separation was performed on an intertsil prep-ODS C18 column, with a solvent system water-acetonitrile. The UV detection is performed at 205 nm. The proposed HPLC method is linear in the range studied (r 2 > 0.999) for all the analytes. The method is precise with intraand inter-day variations of less than 3.34%. The mean recoveries of the analytes range from 99.68 to 100.29%. The method is successfully applied to the quantification of Fatsioside D. The results indicated that developed HPLC method could be used for the quality control of “Fatsiflogin”.","PeriodicalId":14540,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Pharmacy","volume":"75 1","pages":"96-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86338869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Oils were obtained by hydro distillation using Clevenger-type apparatus. The compounds were identified by gas chromatography and gas chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry. Antifungal activity of the essential oils was tested in vitro against Epidermophytonfloccosum and Trichophytonrubrumwhile free radical scavenging activity evaluation was done using 2,2-diphenyl picrylhydrazyl method. Results: Results showed that, the major components of the leaves oil were (E)-ß-ocimene (91.5 %) while the most abundant component from fruits oil were (E)-ß-Ocimene (90.3 %). The total growth inhibition of the pathogens by fruits essential oil occurred at 4.0 mg/ml and 3.0 mg/ml respectively, forEpidermophytonfloccosum and Trichophytonrubrum. The leaves oil exhibited total growth inhibition at 4.0 mg/ml against both pathogens. These oils also showed antioxidant activities with SC50 values at 2.0 mg/ml and 5.0 mg/ml respectively, for fruits and leaves. There were positive and significant correlations between mycelia growth inhibition of both pathogens and the antioxidant activities of the tested oils noted. Conclusion: These results showed that, Z. leprieurii essential oils could be used as a resource of antioxidant and antidermatophitic compounds with may find applications in pharmaceutical industries.","PeriodicalId":14540,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Pharmacy","volume":"42 2 1","pages":"01-06"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86805829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
