Isolation, structural characterization and in silico drug-like properties prediction of a natural compound from the ethanolic extract of Cayratia trifolia (L.)

Abstract

Background:Natural products have continually played an important role in drug discovery because it serves as active principles in drugs as well as templates for synthesis of new drugs. Cayratia trifolia (L.) is a medicinal plant, which has been reported to have antiviral, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, hypoglycemic, anticancer and diuretic activities.Objective:Therefore, the objective of this study is to isolate and identify the natural compound from the ethanolic extract of Cayratia trifolia (L.) and to predict the Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) properties of isolated natural compound.Materials and Methods:Column chromatography and thin layer chromatography were used to isolate the natural compound and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to predict the functional groups present in the isolated natural compound. The structural characterization studies were functionally carried out using 1H, 13C, two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry methods.Results:FTIR showed that, the groups of OH, C-H, C = C may be present in the isolated natural compound. 1H, 13C, two-dimensional NMR and mass spectrometry data suggests that the isolated natural compound probably like linoleic acid. In silico ADME properties, prediction of the compound was under acceptable range.Conclusion:Based on the results, it can be concluded that, the isolated natural compound of linoleic acid that has been exhibited good medicinal properties.

“…To analyze the optical activity of compounds, the polarimetry technique was used and the instrument used was the PerkinElmer Polarimeter (Model 341). To investigate the purity of the sample, the NMR spectra were performed on the CDC13 solutions and the results were recorded on a Bruker DRX-500 NMR Spectrometer at 500 MHz, and the signals were considered as reference [ 21 ].…”

Yield, Characterization and Possible Exploitation of <em>Cannabis Sativa</em> L. Roots Grown Under Aeroponics Cultivation

“…Epi-friedelanol is present in several plants, such as in the root barks of Ulmus Davidiana [46], Cayratia trifolia [47][48][49], Vitis trifolia [50], Celtis sinensis [51], Mallotus apelta [52] and Ulmus pumila [53]. This triterpenoid has been reported to have anticancer [50,54], anti-inflammatory [51] and anti-senescence activity [46].…”

Screening of potential phytocompounds from Euclea crispa (Thunb.) leaves targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) signaling pathway

“…Medicinal plants are considered as rich resources of ingredients that can be used for drug development and synthesis. [12] Focus on the plant secondary metabolites for treating various ailments has been increasing over the past few years. These molecules are known to play a major role in the adaptation of plants to their environment and represent an important source of active pharmaceuticals.…”
