Bioactive Saponins from Swartzia schomburgkii from the Suriname Rainforest

Abstract: Bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of Swartzia schomburgkii using the engineered yeast strains 1138, 1140, and 1353 as the bioassay tool resulted in the isolation of five active (2, 4-7) and three inactive (1, 3, 8) saponins. Saponins 4 and 6 are previously unreported. The structures of all of the saponins were established based on 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis, on acid and alkaline hydrolysis followed by TLC and GC-MS, and by comparison with literature data for known compounds. Three of the i… Show more

“…Phytochemically studied Swartzia species that furnished diterpenoids and triterpenoidal saponins (S. arborescens [25], S. simplex [26], S. schomburgkii [27] and S. langsdorffi i [21,22,28]) are more recent concerning the evolutionary aspects, since their metabolites were generated by the mevalonic acid route while the remaining species produced isofl avonoids that are formed by the shikimic acid/ acetate route.…”

“…2,4-7 Espécies deste gênero apresentam constituintes químicos com atividade antimicrobiana, 4 antifúngica, 5 moluscicida 6 e citotóxica, 2,7 o que mostra a importância da investigação adicional sobre aspectos fitoquímicos e/ou farmacológicos destas espécies. Em nosso programa de bioprospecção, o extrato de Swartzia langsdorffii destacou-se pela marcante atividade antifúngica frente a fitopatógenos e patógenos humanos.…”

“…Por essa razão, essa árvore é interessante para plantio em áreas degradadas para preservação permanente. 3 O gênero Swartzia é caracterizado pela presença de isoflavonóides, saponinas triterpênicas e diterpenos aromáti-cos. 2,[4][5][6][7] Espécies deste gênero apresentam constituintes químicos com atividade antimicrobiana, 4 antifúngica, 5 moluscicida 6 e citotóxica, 2,7 o que mostra a importância da investigação adicional sobre aspectos fitoquímicos e/ou farmacológicos destas espécies.
