“…These were: Algeria, Botswana, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Gambia, Lesotho, Malawi, Somalia, Swaziland, Tunisia, Western Sahara, and Zimbabwe. Even though ethno-botanical literature exists for some of the countries, it is very limited (Chinemana et al, 1985;Hassan-Abdallah et al, 2013;Kambizi and Afolayan, 2001;Maroyi, 2011;Morris, 1986;Motlhanka and Nthoiwa, 2013;Ndamba et al, 1994;Samuelsson et al, 1991Samuelsson et al, , 1992Sewani-Rusike, 2010;Volpato et al, 2012). It might be simply because palms do not occur in these countries, or the palm richness is low (Fig.…”

“…Consider the [3.3.1]-bicyclic compounds diinsininol (1) and diinsinin (2) shown in Figure 1. In nature's quest to build these compounds in an efficient manner, it might fashion a single flavan component using genomics, and then cause this entity to dimerize, forming bonds i and ii, whereupon oxidases and lipases would complete its creation.…”

“…We utilized this process in the first total synthesis of the flavonoid (+)-mimosifoliol. 22 We initially envisioned extending this strategy to the chroman functionality embedded within diinsininol (1) and diinsinin (2). The additional hydroxyl residue that distinguishes 1 from 2 could be introduced using our IBX oxidation-reduction sequence for the construction of o-quinols from phenols.…”

We report the synthesis of diinsininone (33), the aglycone of (±)-diinsinin (2). Thereby, we complete the first construction of a proanthocyanidin (PA) type-A compound incorporating a [3.3.1]-bicyclic ketal as its characteristic core. Our strategy utilizes a coupling between a benzopyrilium salt and a flavanone that proves applicable to other PA type-A compounds. During this undertaking, treatment of naringenin (9) with 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) followed by reductive work-up affords eriodictyol (10). This reactivity mirrors that of catechol hydroxylase (F3H) found in the flavonoid pathway. Other interesting transformations include the formation of flavonoids through an ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) cycloaddition-oxidation sequence and regioselective β-glycosidations of several unprotected flavanones suggesting a likely synthesis of 2 from the aglycone 33.

“…Speroni et al (2005) have been identified the presence of Isorhamnetin-3-O-robinobioside from all parts of B. aegyptiaca. B. Flavonoids have considerable role in tumour and chronic disease treatment and also have antimicrobial properties (Salwa et al, 1988;Samuelsson et al, 1991;Kamel, 1998, Speroni et al, 2005.…”

Balanites aegyptiaca, is one of the awfully potent neglected wild plant species found mainly in both African and South Asian deserts. It is a historical and elegant folkloric medicinal plant due to its curative nature towards diverse fatal diseases, it is conventionally utilized in management of a variety of ailments such as jaundice, intestinal worm infection, wound healings, malaria, syphilis, epilepsy, dysentery, stomach aches, constipation, diarrhea, haemorrhoid and asthma. Biochemical analysis of plant extract revealed the presence of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and organic acids. Due to the presence of these active ingredients, it is served as antioxidant, antihelminthic, antimicrobial (mainly the fixed oil) immunostimulant, anticarcinogenic, antidiabetic, contraceptive antifeedant, antiviral and molluscicidal activities. In conclusion, this review explored the presence of various secondary metabolites from various plant parts of Balanites aegyptiaca.
