Aims of the study were the phytochemical investigation and chemical transformation of isolated compounds of medicinal plant listed in "Ayurveda" like Dolichandrone atrovirens, endemic to Indian subcontinents. From chloroform extract of D. atrovirens four compounds; Ursolic acid (1), Maslinic acid (2), Lupeol (3), βsitosterol (4) and from methanol extract five compounds; β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), 10-O-trans-p-Methoxycinnamoylcatalpol (6), Kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), 6-O-[6"(S)hydroxy-2",6"dimethyl-2"(E)-7"-octadienoyl] catalpol (8) and Ixoside (9) were isolated.Ixoside was used for the semi-synthetic modification via azomethine ylide cycloaddition leading to novel spiro-oxindolo-pyrrolizidine adduct. The structures of novel adducts were elucidated by analysis of IR, MS and 1D/2D NMR data. Furthermore, to confirm the chemo selection of only one double bond, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculation, which confirms the chemo selectivity. In addition, in-silico ADME studies and atom-additive approach based on SASA was also examined for the molecules which suggest that they may be potential future candidates for drug discovery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
