Lexington, KY 40510 Directions to Keeneland Abstracts | 2018 Annual Meeting of the ASP | July 21-25, 2018 | Lexington, Kentucky, USA 2 The American Society of Pharmacognosy Annual Meeting July 21-25, 2018 Hilton Lexington Downtown Lexington, Kentucky ENGAGE IN THE CONVO #ASP2018 Welcome to 59th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Pharmacognosy (ASP) 2018 in beautiful downtown Lexington, Kentucky! The Local Organizing Committee would like to thank you for joining us for the ASP meeting at the Hilton Lexington Downtown. The scientific program includes podium presentations from an impressive and diverse group of speakers who will be discussing the latest advances in all areas of natural products discovery and development, a series of workshops supporting your technical and professional development, as well as two poster sessions to showcase work from around the globe. Additional activities will allow attendees to enjoy Kentucky to its fullest including an evening at the majestic Keeneland Racetrack, tours of Horse Farms and Distilleries, and an excursion to the Lloyd library and Winkler Center (repository for the founding ASP scientific and societal articles). For the Young Members, a fun filled evening event at Buffalo Trace Distillery is planned. Lexington and the Bluegrass have a lot to offer. We invite you to enjoy the many restaurants/bars and perhaps take some time to enjoy the natural beauty of the Red River Gorge, gain an appreciation for the majestry of the throughbred tradition at the internatio- nally acclaimed Kentucky Horse Park, and many other attractions surrounding Lexington. We wish you a wonderful time in the Bluegrass.

The flavonoid was isolated from the ethanolicextract by column and thin layer chromatography. The structure was 1 elucidated by a combination of analytical tools (UV, IR, H NMR, MS). In cup plate agar diffusion assay, compound I and the chloroform fraction of Vangueria infausta were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against six standard human pathogens (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger). The chloroform fraction did not show antibacterial activity, but it showed significant inhibitory activity against the fungi: Candida albicans and Aspergantillus niger. Compound I also showed antifungal activity. However, it did not reveal antibacterial activity.

GC-MS analysis of Vangueria madagascariensis oil was performed. Nineteen constituents were detected. Main constituents are: 9,12-octadecadienoic acid-z,z- methyl ester (53.68%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (15.43%), 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester(12.89%) and methyl stearate(10.23%). The antimicrobial activity of the oil was assessed against five standard human pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungal species Candida albicans. Vangueria madagascarinsis oil showed significant activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and moderate activity against Escherichia coli and the yeast Candida albicans. The oil also exhibited weak activity against Staphylococcus aureus. However, it was inactive against Bacillus subtilis.

All the plants which cause gousiekte have previously been shown to contain bacterial endophytes. However, in this study other plants within the Vanguerieae tribe that have not been reported to cause gousiekte; namely Vangueria infausta, Vangueria macrocalyx and Vangueria madagascariensis, have now been shown to also contain endophytes within the inter-cellular spaces of the leaves. The disease gousiekte Keywords: is difficult to characterise due to fluctuations in plant toxicity. The majority of reported cases of gousiekte Pavetta poisoning are at the beginning of the growing season; and thus the plants are thought to be more toxic at Pachystigma this time. By using both transmission and scanning electron microscopy the endophytes within these Vangueria Vanguerieae plants were compared visually. Using the plant reported most often for gousiekte poisoning, Gousiekte V. pygmaea, a basic seasonal comparison of the presence of endophytes was done. It was found that the Endophyte bacterial endophyte colonies were most abundant during the spring season. 1.

  • Ixoroideae– Rubiaceae
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 21 (4), 2000: 443–455 WOOD ANATOMY OF THE VANGUERIEAE (IXOROIDEAE– RUBIACEAE), WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON SOME GEOFRUTICES by Frederic Lens1, Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2 & Erik Smets1 SUMMARY The Vanguerieae is a tribe consisting of about 500 species ordered in 27 genera. Although this tribe is mainly represented in Africa and Mada- gascar, Vanguerieae also occur in tropical Asia, Australia, and the isles of the Pacific Ocean. This study gives a detailed wood anatomical de- scription of 34 species of 15 genera based on LM and SEM observa- tions. The secondary xylem is homogeneous throughout the tribe and fits well into the Ixoroideae s.l. on the basis of fibre-tracheids and dif- fuse to diffuse-in-aggregates axial parenchyma. The Vanguerieae in- clude numerous geofrutices that are characterised by massive woody branched or unbranched underground parts and slightly ramified un- branched aboveground twigs. The underground structures of geofrutices are not homologous; a central pith is found in three species (Fadogia schmitzii, Pygmaeothamnus zeyheri and Tapiphyllum cinerascens var. laetum), while Fadogiella stigmatoloba shows central primary xylem which is characteristic of roots. Comparison of underground versus aboveground wood shows anatomical differences in vessel diameter and in the quantity of parenchyma and fibres. Key words: Vanguerieae, Rubiaceae, systematic wood anatomy, geo- frutex. INTRODUCTION The Vanguerieae (Ixoroideae–Rubiaceae) is a large tribe consisting of about 500 spe- cies and 27 genera. Tropical Africa is the centre of diversity (about 80% of the species are found in Africa and Madagascar), although the tribe is also present in tropical Asia, Australia, and the isles of the Pacific Ocean (Bridson 1987).

ARRIOLA , P.D. CAMACHO , M.J.A. CALARAMO AND G.J.D. ALEJANDRO College of Science and Research Center for the Natural & Applied Sciences, University of Santo Tomas, España, Manila 1015, Philippines Keywords: Ixoroideae; Malesia; New species; Philippines; Vanguerieae. Abstract Pyrostria triflora, a new species of the tribe Vanguerieae of Rubiaceae from the Philippines is described and illustrated. The new species is unique from other representatives of the genus by its strictly 3-flowered inflorescences and geographic distribution. Introduction Vanguerieae is a monophyletic tribe of Rubiaceae recognized by its swollen stylar knob for pollen presentation (Verdcourt, 1987; Verdcourt and Bridson, 1991). The group is widely distributed in tropical Asia, Africa, Madagascar and the Pacific thriving in various habitats and environments (Razafimandimbison et al., 2009). Infrageneric classifications within the tribe have been very difficult due to the unnaturalness of several genera, such as Canthium Lam., Pyrostria Comm. ex Juss. and Vangueria Juss. (Bridson, 1987, 1992). However, morphological and molecular phylogenetic works of various authors (Bridson, 1992; Lantz et al., 2002; Lantz and Bremer, 2004, 2005; Razafimandimbison et al., 2009) have resulted in the reinstatement of several genera [e.g., Afrocanthium (Bridson) Lantz and Bremer, Bullockia (Bridson) Razafim., Lantz & Bremer, Canthium sensu stricto, Keetia E. Phillips, Psydrax Gaertn. and Pyrostria Comm. ex Juss.] as well as establishment of clearer synapomorphies among these taxa. This taxonomic amendment has now in general resulted in morphologically clearly defined and monophyletic genera within the tribe.
