Biological Investigation of Entada Rheedii Spreng. And Isolation of Entadamide a From Its Seed

Abstract: The methanolic extracts of bark, leaf and seed of E. rheedii and their Kupchan partitionates were investigated for in vitro cytotoxic, antioxidant, thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing and antimicrobial activities. In the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, the chloroform soluble extractive from seed showed significant cytotoxicity (LC50 = 1.95 µg/ml and LC90 = 3×10 -4 µg/ml) as compared to vincristine sulfate (LC50 = 0.45 µg/ml and LC90 = 9×10 -6 µg/ml). Antioxidant activity was screened using DPPH assay and ethyl… Show more

“…African dream plants ( Entada rheedii ) are large woody climbers that produce seeds and grow predominantly throughout parts of Africa and southeast Asia. The African dream plant species is considered part of the legume family 3,4 . While there is limited known pharmacology attributing the effects of specific alkaloids within the seeds, several compounds have been isolated from the plant, including rheediinosides A and B, triterpenes, entadamide A, various flavonoids, and tryptophan derivatives 4 …”
