The disease is transmitted through a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito, amongst which Anopheles gambiae s.s serves as the most prevalent vector. The control of An. gambiae s.s population can therefore lead to a reduction in malaria spreading. Previous studies have reported the crude extracts of Kotschya thymodora to be active against the larvae of An. gambiae s.s and Culex quinquefasciatus. In this report the phytochemical study on the crude aqueous ethanolic extract of K. thymodora leaves led to isolation of vanillic acid (1) and protocatechuic acid (2). The structures of these compounds and mosquitoes larvicidal activity against An. gambiae s.s were established by using spectroscopic techniques and WHO protocol of 1996 respectively. The two phenolic acids exhibited a moderate mosquito larvicidal activity with LC50 of 77.35 µg/mL (vanillic acid, 1) and 62.4 µg/mL (protocatechuic acid, 2) after 48 hrs exposure time. This is the first report on the isolation of the two phenolic acids from plants belonging to the genus Kotschya and their larvicidal potential against An. gambiae s.s.

In the life drugs have served as the mainstay methods for malaria cycle of malaria parasites, these mosquitoes serve as control. Insecticides are normally used with the aim of definitive host permitting their sexual multiplication eliminating An. gambiae s.s vector whereas and maturation to infective forms (Sporozoite) (Cox, antimalarial drugs for inhibiting the passage of 2010). Anopheles gambiae s.s, is known to be the most Plasmodium gametocytes from infected to uninfected prevalent vector of malaria parasites and also a key individual (Kimbi, 2012). The main synthetic transmitter of Plasmodium falciparum, a protozoan insecticides used in the mosquito vector control that causes severe forms of malaria (Leong et al., includes those derived from pyrethroid, carbonates, 2003). The parasite P. falciparum is also the main organochlorines and organophosphates. However, cause of deaths due to malaria in endemic countries some current reports show that some mosquitoes have located in Africa, South-east Asia and Western Pacific developed resistance against these synthetic region (WHO, 2019). About 94% of the malaria deaths insecticides and therefore their efficiency in worldwide occur in sub-Saharan Africa where the controlling malaria transmission is reduced climatic conditions favor the survival and propagation (Yewhalaw et al., 2011). On the other hand, the of An. gambiae s.s (Leong et al., 2003). Many of the malaria parasites have also shown to develop countries located in malaria endemic regions are also resistance towards many commonly used antimalarial characterized by economic underdevelopment. This drugs, hence posing a threat for its continued can be partly contributed by high malaria burden transmission (Kokwaro, 2009). These two factors which imparts a significant economic loss to present the major challenges towards the eradication households and national at large.

Oleo Sci. 62, (6) 391-401 (2013) Structure-activity Relationships for Bergenin Analogues as β-Secretase (BACE1) Inhibitors Yusei Kashima and Mitsuo Miyazawa＊ Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kinki University (3-4-1, Kowakae, Higashiosaka-shi, Osaka 577-8502, JAPAN) Abstract: Here we evaluated the inhibitory effects of bergenin analogues (2-10), prepared from naturally occurring bergenin, (1) on β-secretase (BACE1) activity. All the bergenin analogues that were analyzed inhibited BACE1 in a dose-dependent manner. 11-O-protocatechuoylbergenin (5) was the most potent inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 0.6 ± 0.07 mM. The other bergenin analogues, in particular, 11-O-3′,4′- dimethoxybenzoyl)-bergenin (6), 11-O-vanilloylbergenin (7), and 11-O-isovanilloylbergenin (8), inhibited BACE1 activity with IC50 values of <10.0 mM. BACE1 inhibitory activity was influenced by the substituents of the benzoic acid moiety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the structure-activity relationships (SAR) in the BACE1 inhibitory activities of bergenin analogues.

Received: 19 October 2010; in revised form: 3 November 2010 / Accepted: 4 November 2010 / Published: 8 November 2010 Abstract: Among the wide diversity of naturally occurring phenolic acids, at least 30 hydroxy- and polyhydroxybenzoic acids have been reported in the last 10 years to have biological activities. The chemical structures, natural occurrence throughout the plant, algal, bacterial, fungal and animal kingdoms, and recently described bioactivities of these phenolic and polyphenolic acids are reviewed to illustrate their wide distribution, biological and ecological importance, and potential as new leads for the development of pharmaceutical and agricultural products to improve human health and nutrition. Keywords: polyphenols; phenolic acids; hydroxybenzoic acids; natural occurrence; bioactivities 1. Introduction Phenolic compounds exist in most plant tissues as secondary metabolites, i.e. they are not essential for growth, development or reproduction but may play roles as antioxidants and in interactions between the plant and its biological environment. Phenolics are also important components of the human diet due to their potential antioxidant activity [1], their capacity to diminish oxidative stress- induced tissue damage resulted from chronic diseases [2], and their potentially important properties such as anticancer activities [3-5].

Interest in phenolic compounds has dramatically increased during the last decade due to their biological effects and promising therapeutic applications. In this review, we discuss the importance of phenolic compounds’ bioavailability to accomplish their physiological functions, and highlight main factors affecting such parameter throughout metabolism of phenolics, from absorption to excretion. Besides, we give an updated overview of the health benefits of phenolic compounds, which are mainly linked to both their direct (e.g., free-radical scavenging ability) and indirect (e.g., by stimulating activity of antioxidant enzymes) antioxidant properties. Such antioxidant actions reportedly help them to prevent chronic and oxidative stress-related disorders such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, among others. Last, we comment on development of cutting-edge delivery systems intended to improve bioavailability and enhance stability of phenolic compounds in the human body.

College, Durg (C.G.) 491001,India) email - [email protected] Abstract: Phytochemicals are the secondary metabolites synthesized in different parts of the plants. They have the remarkable ability to influence various body processes and functions. So they are taken in the form of food supplements, tonics, dietary plants and medicines. Such natural products of the plants attribute to their therapeutic and medicinal values. Phenolic compounds are the most important group of bioactive constituents of the medicinal plants and human diet. Some of the important ones are simple phenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids and phenyl-propanoids. They act as antioxidants and free radical scavengers, and hence function to decrease oxidative stress and their harmful effects. Thus, phenols help in prevention and control of many dreadful diseases and early ageing. Phenols are also responsible for anti-inflammatory, anti-biotic and anti- septic properties. The unique molecular structure of these phytochemicals, with specific position of hydroxyl groups, owes to their powerful bioactivities. The present work reviews the critical study on the chemistry, distribution and role of some phenolic compounds in promoting health-benefits.

  • Hydroxybenzoic Acid Isomers and the Cardiovascular System Bernhard HJ Juurlink1,2, Haya J Azouz1, Alaa MZ Aldalati1, Basmah MH Altinawi1 and Paul Ganguly1,3*
    Juurlink et al. Nutrition Journal 2014, 13:63 http://www.nutritionj.com/content/13/1/63 REVIEW Open Access Hydroxybenzoic acid isomers and the cardiovascular system Bernhard HJ Juurlink1,2, Haya J Azouz1, Alaa MZ Aldalati1, Basmah MH AlTinawi1 and Paul Ganguly1,3* Abstract Today we are beginning to understand how phytochemicals can influence metabolism, cellular signaling and gene expression. The hydroxybenzoic acids are related to salicylic acid and salicin, the first compounds isolated that have a pharmacological activity. In this review we examine how a number of hydroxyphenolics have the potential to ameliorate cardiovascular problems related to aging such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia. The compounds focused upon include 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Pyrocatechuic acid), 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Gentisic acid), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (Protocatechuic acid), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (α-Resorcylic acid) and 3-monohydroxybenzoic acid. The latter two compounds activate the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors with a consequence there is a reduction in adipocyte lipolysis with potential improvements of blood lipid profiles. Several of the other compounds can activate the Nrf2 signaling pathway that increases the expression of antioxidant enzymes, thereby decreasing oxidative stress and associated problems such as endothelial dysfunction that leads to hypertension as well as decreasing generalized inflammation that can lead to problems such as atherosclerosis. It has been known for many years that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables promotes health. We are beginning to understand how specific phytochemicals are responsible for such therapeutic effects. Hippocrates’ dictum of ‘Let food be your medicine and medicine your food’ can now be experimentally tested and the results of such experiments will enhance the ability of nutritionists to devise specific health-promoting diets.

  • Chemistry, Occurrence and Biosynthesis of C-Glycosyl Compounds in Plants
    Journal of Planta 1983, Vol.47, pp.131—140,© Hippokrates Verlag GmbH Medicinal .PlantResearchmediCa Chemistry, Occurrence and Biosynthesis of C-Glycosyl Compounds in Plants Gerhard Franz, Michael Grun1 Lehrstuhl für Pharmazeutische Biologie, Universität Regensburg, Federal Republic of Germany Received: August 2, 1982 Introduction Therapid development of natural product chemi- stry has led to the isolation of a wide varieLty of secon- dary metabolites, which, in many cases, was shown to be of glycosidic nature. In particular our knowledge of the chemistry, occurrence and biogenesis of glyco- Flavone Xanthone sides has grown substantially during the last two de- cades [1, 2]. Most of this effort has been directed to- ward the large group of the 0-glycosides as well as the S- and N-glycosides. Far less effort has been given to the C-glycosides due to analytical difficulties. C-Glycosides are a special type of glycoside since the aglycone is directly attached to carbon 1 of a pyra- nose ring of a sugar while 0-glycosides possess a he- miacetal linkage. It is more correct to regard them as C-glycosyls or anhydropolyols as proposed by Chromone Anthrone BANDYUKOVA and YUGIN [3]. Since the original term C-glycoside is well established, it should be maintai- ned. One of the main characteristics of C-glycosides is COOH resistance towards acid hydrolysis. Even after pro- longed acid treatment the sugar residue, which is at- tached by a carbon-carbon-bond, remains attached HOOH to the aglycone. Cleavage of the C-C-linkage is achie- ved only under drastic conditions. When oxidizing reagents are used partial degradation of the sugar re- Gallic acid sidue is likely [4].
