Phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Scoparia dulcis, has resulted in the isolation of 4, 5, 7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone, commonly called hispidulin and a steroidal glycoside, β-sitosterol-β-D-glucoside. This is the first isolation of the two compounds from S. dulcis. Also isolated and characterized were the previously reported 6-me-thoxybenzoxazolinone, friedelan-3-one and scopadulcic acid B. Structural elucidation was done on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretations (IR, UV, NMR and EIMS). Using the Tetrazolium-based colorimetric selective assay, hispidulin was found to be inactive against HIV-1/IIIB in MT-4 cells whereas the same test on the aqueous extract of the plant was positive.

Two new diprenylated indoles, 2′,3′-epoxyasteranthine and 2′,3′-dihydroxyasteranthine, were isolated from the stem bark and the root bark of Asteranthe asterias (Annonaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Each of the two compounds was obtained in an enantiomeric ratio of 3:1 (S/R) and exhibited antimycotic activity against Saprolegnia and Rhizoctonia species.

From the roots of Dichapetalum madagascariense (Dichapetalaceae) dichapetalin A, a plant constituent with a new basic skeleton, has been isolated. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. In-vitro experiments revealed a strong and selective cytotoxicity.
... Preliminary antibacterial and antifungal evaluation was also performed on the ethanolic leaf extract of Brazilian C. regium [13]. Secondary metabolites identified in C. tinctorium include triterpenes (alphitolic acid & 3-O-E-p-coumaroylalphitolic acid), apocarotenes (cochloxanthin & dihydrocochloxanthin), as well as triacylbenzenes (e.g., 1,3,5-tri[dodecanyl]-& tri[tetradecanyl]benzenes, also isolated from C. angolensis, C. planchonii, and C. tinctorium) and volatile ketones, such as 1-hydroxytetradecan-3-one [10,[14][15][16]. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of essential oil of the leaves, root bark, and root wood of C. vitifolium resulted in the identification of α-humulene, β-caryophyllene, β-bisabolene, β-pinene, γ-muurolene, and 1-hydroxy-3-hexadecanone. ...

... The phytochemical analysis in the current study confirmed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, phenolic compounds and terpenes in these crude extracts (Table 2). Previous phytochemical analysis studies from these plants revealed the presence of phytosterols, 36 terpenes, 37 triterpenoids, 37-40 diterpenoids 41-43 and phenolic compounds 36,38 and fatty acids. 44 The difference in the cytotoxicity in these extracts could be attributed to the phytochemical ratios of tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, and terpenoids in them. ...

... The dichapetalins constitute a small family of secondary metabolites of mixed biosynthesis, composed of a dammarane part and a C 6 -C 2 unit. Dichapetalin A was the first to be discovered and was isolated from the roots of Dichapetalum madagascariense (Achenbach et al., 1995;Osei-Safo et al., 2012). It presented a very potent cytotoxic effect against L1210 murine leukemia cells, with an EC90 below 1.7 Â 10 À10 M, but was four orders of magnitude less efficient towards KB carcinoma cells and murine bone marrow cells stimulated with GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor). ...

... collected in Brazil, [28] aerial parts ethanolic extract of Astragalus annularis Forssk. and Astragalus trimestris L. from Egypt, [29] leaf methanol extract of Plantago asiatica L. [30] It was also mentioned in Scoparia dulcis L. collected in Ghana, [31] Ruellia tuberosa L. from Taiwan flora, [32] Thymus herba barona and Mentha x piperita collected in France, [33] as well as in the root benzene extract of Spathelia sorbifolia L. from Jamaica, [34] and Sorbaria sorbifolia L. collected in Ukraine. [35] Because most plants that contain sorbifolin as a major component belong to the Fabaceae and Lamiaceae families, it may be deduced that this molecule is their chemotype ( Table 1). ...

... The further new alkaloids, correantines A (3) and B (4), 20-epi-correantine B (5) and correantine C (6) were isolated as minor compounds, besides the known terpenoids $, 9 and lutein. Furthermore, 10-hydroxycorreantoside (7) was precipitated with Mayer's reagent from the aqueous layer (Table 1). ...

Despite its widespread use, little toxicological data are available on the safety of repeated exposure to D. guineense leaves. ...

... The prenylated indole alkaloids are generally referred to as 'hexalobines' due to their marked presence in the genus Hexalobus Malebo et al., 2014), making them useful as chemotaxonomic markers for this genus. Moreover, this class of compounds have been exclusively isolated from certain genera in the family Annonaceae including Hexalobus, Isolona (Achenbach and Löwel, 1995;Nkunya et al., 2004), Monodora (Adeoye et al., 1986;Nkunya et al., 2004), Asteranthe (Nkunya et al., 1996) and Uvaria (Achenbach and Raffelsberger, 1979), thus extending their chemotaxonomic importance beyond the genus Hexalobus to other closely related genera. This characteristic accumulation of prenylated indole alkaloids in specific genera supports a molecular phylogenetic study on African Annonaceae which revealed Hexalobus, Uvariastrum, Asteranthe, Isolona and Monodora to belong as one sub-clade in the African long-branch clade (ALBC) (Botermans et al., 2011;Couvreur et al., 2008). ...
