BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES and CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS of Chromolaena Odorata (L.) King & Robinson
BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF Chromolaena odorata (L.) King & Robinson FARNIDAH HJ JASNIE DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE FACULTY OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR JUNE 2009 ABSTRACT Chloromolaena odorata was screened for its phytochemical properties and pharmacological activities. Phytochemical screening of C. odorata indicates the presence of terpenoid, flavonoid and alkaloid. GCMS analysis of the leaf extract of C. odorata shows four major compounds which are cyclohexane, germacrene, hexadecoic acid and caryophyllene. While, HPLC analysis has identify five peaks; quercetin-4 methyl ether, aromadendrin-4’-methyl ether, taxifolin-7-methyl ether, taxifolin-4’- methyl ether and quercetin-7-methyl ether, kaempferol-4’-methyl ether and eridicytol-7, 4’-dimehyl ether, quercetin-7,4’-dimethyl ether. By using the column chromatography, three compounds were isolated; 5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)chromen-4-one; 3,5-dihydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-7-methoxy-chromen-4-one and of 2- (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,5-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-chromen-4-one. The toxicity evaluation and dermal irritation of the aqueous leaf extract of C. odorata verifies that it is non-toxic at the maximum dose of 2000mg/kg. For the formaldehyde induced paw oedema evaluation, it proves that the leaf extract of the plant is 80.24% (concentration of 100mg/kg) as effective as Indomethacine (standard drug). The methanolic extract (100mg/ml) of the plant shows negative anti- coagulant, as it causes blood clot in less than two minutes. Meanwhile, the petroleum ether and chloroform leaf extract shows negative anti-coagulant, as they prolong the blood coagulation from to two minutes to more than three minutes. -

Stephanie Brown Trafton: Discus Olympic Gold Medal Defending Champion
Stephanie Brown Trafton: Discus Olympic Gold Medal Defending Champion Stephanie inspires young athletes wherever she goes. Here she visits with Roseville Revolution Track Club members. By Bob Burns For someone accustomed to being an underdog, Stephanie Brown Trafton is finding that she likes the pressure of being the defending Olympic champion. “The pressure makes me better,” she said. “I run better on adrenaline.” This figures to be an adrenaline-fueled summer for Brown Trafton, the Galt resident who shocked the track world at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. She’ll compete in the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials later this month in Eugene, Ore., where she’s expected to finish among the top three and qualify for the London Olympics. “I have always been strong in Olympic years,” Brown Trafton said. “The Olympics motivates me like nothing else.” Four years ago, at the Beijing Olympics, Brown Trafton became the first U.S. woman since 1932 to win a gold medal in the discus. While she won’t be the favorite in London – that mantle goes to Sandra Perkovic of Croatia or reigning world champion Li Yanfeng of China – Brown Trafton won’t be able to surprise anyone this time around. “I feel pretty good about it,” Brown Trafton said. “I usually like being the underdog, but I’ve had to change my story since 2008.” Regarding this year’s prospective Olympic field, Brown Trafton said, “It looks to me like it’s a pretty crowded group at the top. Lots of people can throw during the year in meets that aren’t as important as the Olympics. -
