Flavonoids are exploited as antioxidants, antimicrobial, antithrombogenic, antiviral, and antihypercholesterolemic agents. Normally, conventional extraction techniques like soxhlet or shake �ask methods provide low yield of �avonoids with structural loss, and thereby, these techniques may be considered as inefficient. In this regard, an attempt was made to optimize the �avonoid extraction using orthogonal design of experiment and subsequent structural elucidation by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-electron spray ionization/mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS) techniques. e shake �ask method of �avonoid extraction was observed to provide a yield of (mg/g tissue). With the two different solvents, namely, ethanol and ethyl acetate, tried for the extraction optimization of �avonoid, ethanol (80.1 mg/g tissue) has been proved better than ethyl acetate (20.5 mg/g tissue). e optimal conditions of the1.2 extraction ± 0.13 of �avonoid were found to be 85 C, 3 hours with a material ratio of 1 : 20, 75 ethanol, and 1 cycle of extraction. About seven different phenolics like robinin, quercetin,∘ rutin, sinapoyl-hexoside, dicaffeic acid, and two unknown compounds were identi�ed for the �rst time in the �owers of T. heyneana. e study has also concluded that L%orthogonal design of experiment is an effective method for the extraction of �avonoid than the shake �ask method. 16 1.

Orientin and eriodictyol first oxidation occurs at a lower potential, corresponding to the reversible oxidation of the catechol group, and is followed by an irreversible oxidation on the ring-A at more positive potential. Robenin oxidation is irreversible, with the formation of electro- active products, and occurs at ring-A and ring-B. The electrochemical characterization of their redox behaviour brought useful data about their chemical stability, antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity, enabling a comprehensive understanding of their redox mechanism.

Current study involves the screening and identification of potent inhibitors of the pneumococcal virulence factor pneumolysin. About 100 flavonoids were chosen from scientific literature and docked with pnuemolysin (PDB Id.: 4QQA) using Patch Dockprogram for molecular docking. The results obtained were analysed and the docked structures visualized using LigPlus software. It was found that flavonoids amurensin, diosmin, robinin, rutin, sophoroflavonoloside, spiraeoside and icariin had hydrogen bond interactions with the receptor protein pneumolysin (4QQA). Among others, robinin had the highest score (7710) revealing that it had the best geometrical fit to the receptor molecule forming 12 hydrogen bonds ranging from 0.8-3.3 Å.

  • 1 Alkaloid Drugs
    1 Alkaloid Drugs Most plant alkaloids are derivatives of tertiary amines, while others contain primary, secondary or quarternary nitrogen. The basicity of individual alkaloids varies consider- ably, depending on which of the four types is represented. The pK, values (dissociation constants) lie in the range of 10-12 for very weak bases (e.g. purines), of 7-10 for weak bases (e.g. Cinchona alkaloids) and of 3-7 for medium-strength bases (e.g. Opium alkaloids). 1.1 Preparation of Extracts Alkaloid drugs with medium to high alkaloid contents (31%) Powdered drug (Lg) is mixed thoroughly with Iml 10Yo ammonia solution or 10% General method, Na,CO, solution and then extracted for lOmin with 5ml methanol under reflux. The extraction filtrate is then concentrated according to the total alltaloids of the specific drug, so that method A 100p1 contains 50-100pg total alkaloids (see drug list, section 1.4). Rarmalae semen: Powdered drug (Ig) is extracted with lOml methanol for 30min Exception under reflux. The filtrate is diluted 1:10 with methanol and 20pl is used for TLC. Strychni semen: Powdered seeds (Ig) are defatted with 20 rnl n-hexane for 30min under reflux. The defatted seeds are then extracted with lOml methanol for lOmin under reflux.

Chem., 48 (6), 1559~1563, 1984 1559 Effect of Flavonoids on a-Glucosidase and /?-Fructosidase from Yeast Masayoshi Iio, Ayako Yoshioka, Yumiko Imayoshi, Chikako Koriyama and Ayako Moriyama Departmentof Foodand Nutrition Science, Faculty of Life Sciences, KumamotoWomen's University, Kumamoto862, Japan Received December 9, 1983 The influence of 16 flavonoids on yeast a-glucosidase and /?-fructosidase was investigated. Either />-nitrophenyl-a-D-glucopyranoside or maltose was used as substrate for a-glucosidase, and sucrose for jS-fructosidase. Quercetin, myricetin, fisetin, and quercitrin strongly inhibited a- glucosidase at 0.1 mM.The concentrations which gave 50%inhibition were 4, 8, 8, 20, and 20jum for myricetin, quercetin, fisetin, kaempferol, and quercitrin, respectively. The mode of inhibition was found to be mixed type, close to non-competitive type with quercetin and quercitrin. Fisetin, naringenin, and morin showed mixed type inhibition. Albumin from bovine serum slightly affected the anti-a-glucosidase activity of quercetin. The flavonoids tested exhibited little effect on /?- fructosidase activity at 0.1 mM. Flavonoids have attracted interest as food kinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, ATPsodium components. They show bitterness in taste, salt, and NADP sodium salt were obtained from Boehringer. Other chemicals were also purchased from the anti-vitamin Bx activity, antioxidative action, commercial sources indicated.
