In vitro antibacterial activities of compounds isolated from roots of Caylusea abyssinica

Abstract: BackgroundCaylusea absyssinica, a plant used as vegetable and for medicinal purposes was selected for in vitro antibacterial evaluation in this study. The main aim of this study was to isolate compounds from the plant roots and evaluate their antibacterial activities on clinical bacterial test strains.MethodsCompounds from roots of Caylusea absyssinica (fresen) were identified based on observed spectral (1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and IR) data and physical properties (melting point) as well as reported literature.

“…Such absorption frequency is identical to the absorption frequency of α-amyrin as stated by 14,15 -6). The chemical shift of the proton above is identical to the chemical shift of the hydrogen and carbon of βsitosterol 17,18 . The molecular structure of compound 2 similar to the molecular structure of β-sitosterol is supported by HSQC and HMBC spectrum data.…”

“…35 Stigmasterol isolated from the methanolic extract of Aegle marmelos leaves shows anti-bacterial activity against S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. thyphimurium when tested by zone inhibition assay. 36 Stigmasterol has an MIC of 100 µg/mL 37 and 1:1 mixture of stigmasterol and sitosterol has an MIC of 12.5 µg/mL against M. tuberculosis. 38 To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the antitubercular activity of the hexane extract of the fruit of A. marmelos and we have identified six active principles in it which inhibited the growth of the virulent strain of M. tuberculosis.…”

“…Its chemical characteristics and structural properties are similar to that of (17-(5-ethyl-6-methylheptan-2-yl)-10,13-dimethyl-2, 3,4, 7,8 ,9,11, 12, 14,1 5,1 6,17 -dod eca hydr o-1Hcyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-ol). β-sitosterol has been reported in literature [49][50][51][52] possessing antimicrobial activity from different plant species viz., Flemingia strobilifera, Dillenia indica, Momordica charantia, Caylusea absyssinica. However, the presence of this phytosterol in U. indica from Bastar possessing antifungal activity is the pioneer report of its kind.…”
