Isolation and in vitro antiamoebic activity of iridoids isolated from Kigelia pinnata

Abstract: Serial dilutions of extracts from the stem bark of Kigelia pinnata were tested for their growth inhibitory effects against Entamoeba histolytica. Butanol extract from Kigelia pinnata stem barks exhibited in vitro antiamoebic activity. Three known iridoids specioside, verminoside and minecoside were isolated, purified and identified by comparing their spectral data with the literature values. These compounds were tested against HK-9 strain of Entamoeba histolytica for their in vitro antiamoebic evaluation and m… Show more

“…Anti-HIV-1 activity of triterpene acid was also reported from Pyrostegia venusta [22]. Iridoids from Kigelia pinnata showed antiamoebic activity [23] and stimulation of GLUT4 translocation [24]. Some phenolic compounds isolated from Pyrostegia venusta were found to have anticandidal and antioxidant activities [25].…”
