“…(Duus et al, 2000). The coupling constant data for a-Arap indicated that it was present in the 1 C 4 conformation, as observed in similar triterpenoid saponins (Eskander et al, 2006;Li et al, 1994). This glycosidic profile was in agreement with the results of sugar analysis (Section 3.4), by which the absolute configurations of the constituent monosaccharides of 1 released on acid hydrolysis were determined as L-Ara, D-Glc, L-Rha and D-Xyl.…”

“…Partially purified saponins from leaf extract of C. nocturnum were extracted as per the procedure of Eskander et al (2006). This crude saponin mixture was further confirmed by frothing method (Kokate 1999) and used as a source of partially purified saponins for further studies.…”

In a search for natural products that could be used to control the vectors of tropical diseases, extracts of medicinal plants Plumbago zeylanica and Cestrum nocturnum have been tested for larvicidal activity against second, third, and fourth instar larvae of Aedes aegypti. The LC(50) values of all the extracts in different solvents of both the plants were less than 50 ppm (15.40-38.50 ppm) against all tested larval instars. Plant extracts also affected the life cycle of A. aegypti by inhibition of pupal development and adult emergence with increasing concentrations. The larvicidal stability of the extracts at five constant temperatures (19°C, 22°C, 25°C, 28°C, and 31°C) evaluated against fourth instar larvae revealed that toxicity of both plant extracts increases with increase in temperature. Toxicity studies carried out against fish species Poecilia reticulata, the most common nontarget organism in the habitats of A. aegypti, showed almost nil to meager toxicity at LC(50) and LC(90) doses of the plant extracts. The qualitative analysis of crude extracts of P. Zeylanica and C. nocturnum revealed the presence of bioactive phytochemicals with predominance of plumbagin in P. zeylanica and saponins in C. nocturnum. Partially purified plumbagin from P. zeylanica and saponins from C. nocturnum were obtained, and their presence was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography and biochemical tests. The bioassay experiment of partially purified secondary metabolites showed potent mosquito larvicidal activity against the fourth instar larval form. Therefore, this study explored the safer and effective potential of plant extracts against vector responsible for diseases of public health importance.

“…Saponins such as quercetine and soyasaponin, present in certain Trifolium species, are beneficial to human nutrition (Oleszek and Stochmal, 2002). Other representatives of this class, like bidesmosidic saponins present in Mimusops laurifolia, have found use in cosmetics and detergents because of their foaming ability (Eskander et al, 2006).…”

Extracts of in vitro leaves, field leaves and seeds of the leguminous plant Lessertia frutescens were analyzed using spectrophotometric and gravimetric methods, to the effect of quantitative comparison of their phenolic, flavonoid, alkaloid and saponin contents. As compared to the field leaves and seeds, saponins were found to be most abundantly represented in in vitro leaves, followed by phenolics, flavonoids and alkaloids. The extracts were also qualitatively analyzed so as to evaluate the presence of other phytochemicals of medicinal interest. This qualitative analysis indicated the presence of tannins, phlobatannins and cardiac glycosides. Having in mind the documented therapeutic use of these phytochemicals, the results of this study offer a strong rationale for further animal and clinical investigations of L. frutescens extracts.
