Bioactive compounds from plants pdf

It presents new research on bioactive compounds in medicinal plants that provide health benefits, including those that have proven especially effective in treating and managing diabetes mellitus and hypertension. It looks at the medicinal properties, antioxidant capacity, and antimicrobial activity of plants and provides scientific evidence on the use of medicinal plants in the treatment of certain diseases.

Many of the plants described in the chapters are easily accessible and are believed to be effective with fewer side effects in comparison to modern drugs in the treatment of different diseases. This, essentially, is the basis for the effects of herbal medicine. While herbal medicine preparations may act by complex synergistic interactions, molecular explanations of herbal medicine efficacy and side effects ultimately require definition of the biochemical targets of individual plant bioactive constituents.

Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds is a comprehensive and user-friendly reference guide to biochemical targets of plant defensive compounds.

With pages of tables, it presents a mine of succinctly summarized information relating to bioactive compound structures, plant sources, biochemical targets and physiological effects that can be readily accessed via chemical compound, plant genus, plant common name and subject indexes. Its focus is on the extraction of bioactive compounds and their applications in human health.

The effect of phytochemicals in the hepatotoxicity of drugs is also addressed. Written for health professionals seeking reliable and up-to-date information on the beneficial or toxic effects of natural compounds on liver disease, this book is sure to be a welcomed resource for nutritionists, food chemists, natural product researchers, pharmacists, medical doctors, and pharmacognosists alike.

Explores the benefits of phytonutrients, especially those with a wide spectrum of biological activities Addresses various liver diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver cancer, biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis Provides reliable, up-to-date information on the natural compounds that have protective or toxic effects on liver diseases.

For each substance, the author presents the trivial name, synonyms, structural type, chemical structure showing stereochemistry, molecular weight and formula, natural occurrence, biological activity and commercial or other use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-aging activity of a cream formulation containing a lyophilized extract of banana peel.

The banana peel was extracted with ethanol, and a cream fo A new series of Schiff's base compounds were synthesized by condensation of 1- 4-amino-4 phenyl 3-phenyl triazeneol and substituted aldehyde and gave high yields of target compounds. Antimicrobial activity of compounds has been tested against bacterial and fungal species, namely gram-positive bacteria as S.

The antibacterial property of three Himalayan Oaks species Quercus floribunda, Q. It is an open access online and print International Journal published monthly. Website: www. Panchkula , HR.

Retinoic acid, 5, 8-epoxy-5, 8-dihydro, 5, 6-Epoxyretinoic analysis acid Androstenone, acetoxy-4, 4-dimethyl-, oxine, 3- The plant material of Hemionitis arifolia was collected and the Hydroxyimino -4, 4- dimethylandrostenyl acetate fronds were initially separated from the main plant parts Frond Choestanoic acid, 3, 7, trihyroxy-, 3a, 5a, 7a, 12a — shade on paper towel in laboratory then homogenized into fine 5a-cholestanoic acid, 3a, 7a-trihydroxy- Benzamide, N- 4-chlorotetrahydrothinyl -3, whole plant sample was soaked with 20 ml Ethanol for 3 days.

The extract was then filtered through Whatman filter paper. From these extract 1ml of sample was extracted with ethanol and The listed out major phytocompounds and its biological activities analyzed in GC-MS for identification of different components. The bioactive compounds find to act as anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-cancerous agents, fluorinating agent, GC-MS analysis was carried out on a GC Clarus Perkin pharmaceuticals, dye, nematicides, pesticides, chemotherapeutic Elmer system and gas chromatograph interfaced to a mass agents, compounds curing fibrosis, obesity and diabetes.

There is spectrometer GC-MS instrument employing the following no bioactivity found for two compounds and these compounds are conditions: Column Elite-5MS fused silica capillary column 30 considered as novel compounds to be explored in future. The oven temperature was programmed from therapeutics. Mass spectra were taken at 70 eV; a scan interval of 0. Total GC running time be used for human consumption8. According to an estimation of was 36 min. The relative percentage amount of each component the International Diabetes Federation, approximately million was calculated by comparing its average peak area to the total people are suffering from diabetes and this may double by , areas.

Software adopted to handle mass spectra and In India is All the compounds and its bioactivity Interpretation on mass spectrum GC-MS was conducted using the are listed in Table 1. Out of nine, seven compounds showed their database of National Institute Standard and Technology NIST activity during reference whereas two compounds were found to having more than 62, patterns.

The spectrum of the unknown possess no activity and hence to be possibly new compounds. The Name, Molecular fungal, anti-diabetic and anti-cancerous.

Various authors have weight and Structure of the components of the test materials were worked GC-MS in plants like Nephrolepis cordifolia and ascertained. Adiantum capillus-veneris and the activities related to the compounds found out coincide with our results10, The anti- RESULTS diabetic property of the experimental plant reveals that the plant could be an important source for the investigation related to The studies on the bioactive components in the ethanolic extract diabetics.

Moreover efforts should be taken to find out the drug of whole plant of H. The active principles structure and clinical properties in coming days. Arifolia Burm.
