Rauvolfianine, a new antimycobacterial glyceroglycolipid and other constituents from Rauvolfia caffra. Sond (Apocynaceae)

Abstract: The chemical investigation of the extract of the dried leaves of Rauvolfia caffra (Sond) (synonym Rauvolfia macrophylla) (Apocynaceae) led to isolation of a new glycoside derivative, rauvolfianine (1) as well as six known compounds: oleanolic acid (2), sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), betulinic acid (4), vellosimine (5), sarpagine (6) and D-fructofuranosyl-β-(2→1)-α-D-glucopyranoside (7). Compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 were evaluated for antitubercular activity. Compounds 1 and 2 were the most active (MIC =… Show more

“…For significant antitubercular activity concerning the flavonoid classes, this can be explained by the presence of polyhydroxyl substitutions which might produce remarkable improvements in antitubercular activity (Myricetin, 8) (MIC = 7.81 μg/mL), whereas the presence of methyl exemplified by 2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyochnaflavone (2) (MIC = 62.5 μg/mL) or glycosidic residues in these substitution patterns may led to decreased activity against the test organism (compound 2 was 8 times less active than 8). The antimycobacterial activity detected for 1, 5, 6, 8 and 9 is in agreement to that previously reported (Erickson et al 2014;Ebeh Messanga et al 2017). According to Peterson and Shanholtzer (1992), bacteriostatic activity has been defined as a ratio of MBC to MIC of > 4.…”

“…21,22 Oleanolic acid has also exhibited anti-tubercular activity. 23 The derivatives of oleanolic acid have been reported for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, 24 and oleanolic acid saponins have shown significant antimicrobial properties, 25 and the combination of oleanolic acid with hypocrellin A has been reported for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma diseases, 26 and oleanolic acid derivative SZC014 has exhibited anticancer activity. 27 Oleanolic acid has shown antidiabetic, 28,29 and hepatoprotective activities, 30,31 which may establish the use of H. umbellata as antidiabetic by the local inhabitants in Nigeria.…”

“…Its main components are the α- and β-amyrin triterpenes [ 41 ]. Pentacyclic triterpenoids isolated from Alstonia scholaris also have shown antibacterial activity [ 42 ]. A sitosterol glycosylated derivative was identified in Rauvolfia caffra and showed some activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis [ 43 ].…”
