Triterpenoid and Fatty Acid Contents from the Stem Bark of Cordia dichotoma (Forst f.)

Abstract: Aim: To isolate and determine the chemical constituents of the stem bark of Cordia dichotoma (Forst f.), a plant used for medicinal purpose in folk medicine. Materials and methods: Petroleum ether extract of the stem bark was used for this study. Saponification process was performed to separate fatty acid and unsaponifiable matter. Results: One triterpenoids, α-amyrin was isolated from the bark by using isocratic elution. The chemical compounds isolated, for the first time, were analyzed by GC/MS, IR, and UV. … Show more

“…Many classical methods and references are readily available for the extraction and identification of steroids and terpenoids from other medicinal plants [19][20][21][22][23] ; yet it is necessary to determine a specific method to isolate these molecules or fractions which ought to be standardized. [24][25][26][27]…”

“…Previous phytochemical investigations of plants from this genus reported the isolation and characterization of different classes of secondary metabolites including naphthoquinones, hydroquinones [8], cromenes [9], terpenenoids [10] or polyphenols [11]. Meanwhile and based on some pharmacological surveys, essential oils from C. curassivica and C. gilletii appeared as active against some microbial strains [12,13] Some biological activities and in silico investigations of C. dichotoma were recently reported [14,15]; the plant is also known to contain, apart from allantoin (1) [16,17] which has been the subject of many quantum calculations [18,19], fatty acids (FA) [20]. FA appear as energy sources for M. tuberculosis inside host tissues and are supposed to induce dormancy in Mycobacterium bacilli [21,22].…”
