HPLC has been used to build a fingerprint of each dye plant profile and thus used to compare to the profiles of back extraction from textiles for natural dye identification in historical artefacts. The use of solid phase extraction is compared to extraction methods with no purification step which is favourable for anthraquinone dyes but results in a major loss of glycosidic compounds when using yellow dyestuffs. Supported by 1H and 13C NMR data, the conclusive X-ray crystal structure of the natural dye ruberythric acid is presented which has never been achieved prior to this research. In a collaboration with food science two of the main components of chamomile are fully characterised by 1D and 2D, 1H and 13C NMR. These compounds are usually referred to as ferulic acid derivatives in the literature but their actual structure is reported herein. The thesis also discusses the relative dye uptake of anthraquinone compounds onto wool textiles which were measured by HPLC. Sorption isotherms for the main anthraquinones in madder; ruberythric acid, pseudopurpurin and alizarin are compared for more in-depth understanding on the method of adsorption of these compounds. Herein the glycosidic compounds in madder are shown to have a higher adsorption capacity than the aglycons. Ruberythric acid is shown to follow a Tempkin isotherm with the highest degree of correlation but both alizarin and ruberythric acid show good fitting with the Freundlich isotherm also. Pseudopurpurin was shown to follow a Freundlich isotherm with the highest degree of linearity but did also show some fitting to the Langmuir isotherm. The isotherms allow data to be collected on the energy of adsorption and draw conclusions on the effect the functional groups have on the dyeing capability which is studied herein for the first time on individual anthraquinone components. iii Studies were carried out on the acid-sensitive colorants present in madder which are degraded in the textile back extraction process. Anthraquinone aglycons alizarin and purpurin are usually identified in analysis following harsh back extraction methods, such as those using solvent mixtures with concentrated hydrochloric acid at high temperatures. Herein, a softer novel extraction method involving aqueous glucose solution was developed and compared to other back extraction techniques on wool dyed with root extract from different varieties of Rubia tinctorum. A study into the breakdown compounds of the aglycon; lucidin under acidic conditions used for traditional back extractions was also undertaken. Here it is observed that lucidin is converted into xanthopurpurin in a retro aldol like mechanism. This report discusses some of the issues raised by using these harsh back extraction methods and the problems faced in using them to analyse historic artefacts. iv Table of Contents Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ ii Abstract ........................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................ v List of Figures ................................................................................................................ ix List of Tables ............................................................................................................... xvii List of Schemes............................................................................................................ xix 1 Introduction .............................................................................................................. 1 1.1 History of Madder ................................................................................................ 3 1.2 History of Yellow textile colorants ........................................................................ 8 1.3 Cultivation, Harvesting and Processing of Dye Plants ........................................... 12 1.4 Compounds in Madder ....................................................................................... 14 1.5 Compounds in Yellow dye plants ........................................................................ 21 1.6 Extraction Isolation and Purification ................................................................... 23 1.7 Dyeing with Mordant Dyes ................................................................................. 25 1.8 Analysis of Compounds in Dye Plants .................................................................. 31 1.9 Back Extraction of Historical Textiles ................................................................... 37 1.10 Aims of Research ................................................................................................ 40 2 Extractions of Madder ........................................................................................... 42 2.1 Extraction of different madder varieties .............................................................. 46 2.1.1 Extraction of Iranian madder............................................................................... 49 2.1.2 Extraction of Turkish madder .............................................................................. 56 2.1.3 Extraction of English madder............................................................................... 59 v 2.2 Aqueous extractions of madder followed by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) ............ 62 2.2.1 Extraction of Iranian madder with SPE ................................................................ 63 2.2.2 Extraction of Turkish madder with SPE ............................................................... 69 2.2.3 Extraction of English madder with SPE ................................................................ 71 2.3 Crystal structure elucidation of ruberythric acid .................................................. 74 2.4 Conclusions ........................................................................................................ 80 3 Extraction of yellow dyes ..................................................................................... 83 3.1 Ethanol extraction of yellow dye plants .............................................................. 86 3.1.1 Weld

It is only recently (the first artificial dye was invented in 1857) that the textile industry has turned to synthetic dyes. Today, many craftspeople are rediscovering the joy of achieving colour through the use of renewable, non-toxic, natural sources. Natural dyes are inviting and satisfying to use. Most are familiar substances that will spark creative ideas and widen your view of the world. Try experimenting. Colour can be coaxed from many different sources. Once the cloth or fibre is prepared for dyeing it will soak up the colour, yielding a range of results from deep jew- el-like tones to dusky heathers and pastels.

The results showed that damnacanthal significantly inhibited HL- 60 cells, CEM-SS and WEHI-3B with the IC50 value of 4.0 µg/mL, 8.0 µg/mL and 3.3 µg/mL, respectively. Nordamnacanthal and betulinic acid showed stronger inhibition towards CEM-SS and HL-60 cells with the IC50 value of 5.7 µg/mL and 5.0 µg/mL, respectively. In contrast, Zerumbone was demonstrated to be more toxic towards those leukemia cells with the IC50 value less than 10 µg/mL. Damnacanthal, nordamnacanthal and betulinic acid were not toxic towards 3T3 and PBMC compared to doxorubicin which showed toxicity effects towards 3T3 and PBMC with the IC50 value of 3.0 µg/mL and 28.0 µg/mL, respectively.

  • Orobanche Clausonis Pomel (Orobanchaceae) in the Iberian Península
    OROBANCHE CLAUSONIS POMEL (OROBANCHACEAE) IN THE IBERIAN PENÍNSULA by MICHAEL JAMES YATES FOLEY* Resumen FOLEY, MJ.Y. (1996). Orobanche clausonis Pomel (Orobanchaceae) en la Península Ibérica. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 54:319-326 (en inglés). Orobanche clausonis Pomel fue descrita sobre plantas recolectadas en Argelia, donde parasi- taba a Asperula hirsuta (Rubiaceae). Desde entonces, ha sido colectada ocasionalmente en va- rias localidades del sudoeste de Europa, especialmente en la Península Ibérica. Sin embargo, es aún mal conocida. En este trabajo se estudian la morfología y la taxonomía de la especie y se propone que las plantas europeas queden cobijadas bajo el trinomen O. clausonis subsp. hes- perina (J.A. Guim.) MJ.Y. Foley, comb. & stat. nov. Palabras clave: Spermatophyta, Orobanchaceae, Orobanche, taxonomía, Península Iberica, Argelia. Abstract FOLEY, MJ.Y. (1996). Orobanche clausonis Pomel (Orobanchaceae) in the Iberian Península. Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 54:319-326. Orobanche clausonis Pomel was first described frorn Algeria where it was thought to be para- sitic upon Asperula hirsuta (Rubiaceae). Since then, germine records have been scarce and al- though occasionally collected from various localities in south-westera Europe (especially the Iberian península), where it is mainly parasitic upon members of the Rubiaceae, its identity and taxonomy have been poorly understood. Based principally on the limited number of preserved specimens available, the general morphology and taxonomy of O. clausonis has been investi- gated. As a result, it is proposed that the European plants be separated as Orobanche clausonis subsp. hesperina (J.A. Guim.) MJ.Y. Foley, comb. & stat. nov. Key words: Spermatophyta, Orobanchaceae, Orobanche, taxonomy, Iberian Península, Algeria.
