“…(1) Cyanogenic glucosides Cyanogenic glycosides (CNglcs) are the chemical defences most broadly distributed within the genus Passiflora, enabling these plants to release poisonous hydrogen cyanide (HCN) when under attack (Spencer, 1988;Jaroszewski et al, 2002). CNglcs are defined as α-hydroxynitrile glucosides derived from amino acids, and their biosynthetic pathway is well characterized from several plants: two cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450) convert the amino acid into an unstable α-hydroxynitrile and subsequently a uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase (UGT) catalyses the addition of a sugar residue, stabilizing the compound (Møller, 2010;Gleadow (Vasi et al, 2012;Silva & Bottoli, 2014) Tannins bind with dietary proteins and digestive enzymes (Barbehenn & Constabel, 2011).…”

“…Tannins are highly hydroxylated polyphenolic metabolites with the ability to bind and form complexes with proteins, including dietary proteins and digestive enzymes, resulting in reduced absorption of nutrients by insects ingesting these compounds (Barbehenn & Constabel, 2011). Other phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, which have anti-herbivory properties against insects, have also been found in P. incarnata (Silva & Bottoli, 2014). Botelho et al (2008) demonstrated that P. edulis plants under attack from Agraulis vanillae larvae have a higher content of proteins with trypsin-inhibitor activity, indicating that these proteins may also be involved in plant protection.…”

The arms race between heliconiine butterflies and Passiflora plants – new insights on an ancient subject

et al. 2017

Heliconiines are called passion vine butterflies because they feed exclusively on Passiflora plants during the larval stage. Many features of Passiflora and heliconiines indicate that they have radiated and speciated in association with each other, and therefore this model system was one of the first examples used to exemplify coevolution theory. Three major adaptations of Passiflora plants supported arguments in favour of their coevolution with heliconiines: unusual variation of leaf shape within the genus; the occurrence of yellow structures mimicking heliconiine eggs; and their extensive diversity of defence compounds called cyanogenic glucosides. However, the protection systems of Passiflora plants go beyond these three features. Trichomes, mimicry of pathogen infection through variegation, and production of extrafloral nectar to attract ants and other predators of their herbivores, are morphological defences reported in this plant genus. Moreover, Passiflora plants are well protected chemically, not only by cyanogenic glucosides, but also by other compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and phenolics. Heliconiines can synthesize cyanogenic glucosides themselves, and their ability to handle these compounds was probably one of the most crucial adaptations that allowed the ancestor of these butterflies to feed on Passiflora plants. Indeed, it has been shown that Heliconius larvae can sequester cyanogenic glucosides and alkaloids from their host plants and utilize them for their own benefit. Recently, it was discovered that Heliconius adults have highly accurate visual and chemosensory systems, and the expansion of brain structures that can process such information allows them to memorize shapes and display elaborate pre-oviposition behaviour in order to defeat visual barriers evolved by Passiflora species. Even though the heliconiine-Passiflora model system has been intensively studied, the forces driving host-plant preference in these butterflies remain unclear. New studies have shown that host-plant preference seems to be genetically controlled, but in many species there is some plasticity in this choice and preferences can even be induced. Although much knowledge regarding the coevolution of Passiflora plants and heliconiine butterflies has accumulated in recent decades, there remain many exciting unanswered questions concerning this model system.

“…Great part of the data about Passiflora genus phytochemistry focus on their effects on the central nervous system, but the genus can provide a wide range of bioactive compounds for different applications. Passiflora leaves are a source of alkaloids, saponins, cyanogenic compounds and, mainly, polyphenols (Zeraik et al, 2010b;Silva, Bottoli, 2015).…”

The present study aimed at the evaluation of Passiflora coccinea (Aubl.) antioxidant and photo protective in vitro activities, looking forward to their application as antiaging or sunscreen agents in cosmetic formulations. Methanolic and glycolic leaf extracts were prepared by three methods: ultrasound assisted extraction (UAE, 30 min.), maceration at room temperature (72 h) and maceration at 30 ºC (72 h). The antioxidant activities of the extracts were measured by DPPH and ORAC-FL assays and they were incorporated into a cosmetic emulsion to have their sun protection factor (SPF) measured spectrophotometricaly. The antioxidant activity of the emulsions were measured by DPPH and ORAC as well. C-glycosyl-flavones were identified in the extracts by ESI-MS/MS, in comparision with standards. The UAE methanolic extract and the maceration at 30 °C glycolic extract were submmited to HPLC-DAD analysis and isovitexin was quantifyed in both by a validated method. The methanolic extract antioxidant activity was independent of the extraction method, higher than reported for other species of Passiflora and detectable when incorporated into the emulsion formulation. Maceration at 30 o C was the most suitable method for glycolic extraction and its antioxidant activity was lower than the value presented by the methanolic extracts. None of the extracts exhibited a SPF value. Isovitexin in the UAE methanolic extract was 12.67 times higher than the most active glycolic extract, aside of their similar chromatographic profiles. Although a SPF value was not detected, the results indicate that P. coccinea can be a potential new source of antioxidants for topical antiaging formulations.

Divya‐Swasari‐Vati is a calcium containing polyherbal ayurvedic medicine prescribed for the lung‐related ailments observed in the current pandemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infections. The formulation is a unique quintessential blend of nine herbs cited in Ayurvedic texts for chronic cough and lung infection. Analytical standardization of herbal medicines is the pressing need of the hour to ascertain the quality compliance. This persuaded us to develop a simple, rapid, and selective high‐performance thin‐layer chromatographic method for Divya‐Swasari‐Vati quality standardization. The developed method was validated for the quantification of marker components, gallic acid, cinnamic acid, piperine, eugenol and glycyrrhizin, against reference standards in five different batches of Divya‐Swasari‐Vati. The analytes were identified by visualization at 254 nm, and by matching their retention factor with authentic standards. The developed method was validated as per the guidelines recommended by the International Council for Harmonization for parameters like, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, and precision. Therefore, the developed novel high‐performance thin‐layer chromatographic process could be employed for rapid standardization of Divya‐Swasari‐Vati and other related herbal formulation, which would aid in quality manufacturing and product development.
