Determination of Coumarin and Kaurenoic Acid inMikania glomerata ("Guaco') Leaves by Capillary Gas Chromatography

Abstract: A capillary gas chromatography procedure for the determination of coumarin and kaurenoic acid in "guaco' (Mikania glomerata Spreng., Compositae) leaves is described. The method is shown to be sensitive and reproducible. The contents of coumarin and kaurenoic acid in a sample of "guaco' from Ribeirão Preto (Brazil) were found to be 4.40(±0.21) and 2.00 (±0.06) mg/g dried plant material, respectively. The method may have application in the analysis of "guaco' crude drug. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…In addition, a general survey and some taxonomic implications of the occurrence of kaurane and other classes of diterpenes in the Asteraceae family are discussed by Alvarenga and collaborators [39]. Kaurenoic acid (1), an ent-kaurane diterpene that possesses a wide spectrum of bioactivities such as antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal and moluscical properties, among others [6], is not commercially available, but it is relatively abundant in some species belonging to the Wedelia [40], Mikania [41], Annona [42] and Xylopia [43] genera, which has motivated its quantification in these plant species [42][43][44][45][46][47], enabling the use of all of them as natural sources of this diterpene. Figure 3.…”

“…This substance is responsible, at least in part, for the smooth muscle relaxing properties of the extracts of this plant. Additionally, the occurrence of kaurane-type diterpenes such as kaurenoic acid and cinammoylgrandifl oric acid are very common in the genus Mikania (Vilegas et al, 1997).…”

“…In previous work, according to Vilegas et al (1997a), it was found 0.44 % w/w of coumarin in the leaves by GC analysis. These results are quite in agreement, since the coumarin content may vary according to seasonality and Paula C. P. Bueno, Jairo K. Bastos site plant harvesting, as well as the storage conditions.…”

“…Furthermore, there is no procedure described for monitoring of the entire manufacturing process, which includes the acquisition of the raw material until the production and standardization of extracts. Nonetheless, the quality control is based on the quantification of the coumarin in the crude plant and in its extracts, through the application of chromatographic techniques, as suggested by Vilegas et al (1997a), Celeghini et al (2001), Dos Santos et al (2006) and Taleb-Contini et al (2006). Another recent method for the quantification of coumarin in guaco fluid extract and tinctures was performed by first derivative spectrophotometry by Osório and Martins (2004) and Silva et al (2008).…”
