“…The sample was diluted (1% v/v) and injected with a split mode of a ratio 1: 15. Compound identification was based on mass spectral data (MS), comparing with published retention indices (RI) in NIST Mass Spectral Library, Wiley Registry of Mass Spectral Data, other published data [17][18][19][20][21][22] as well as co-chromatography with authentic samples.…”

The neuroprotective potential of Bombax ceiba L. (Malvaceae) leaves extract (BCLE) was evaluated herein for the first time. Memory impairment was induced in rats by scopolamine (SC) administration for seven days (1.5 mg/kg/day, i.p.). BCLE (200 mg/kg) or donepezil (1mg/kg) was administered orally a week before and then concomitantly with SC for another week. BCLE improved the rats' behaviors estimated by Morris water maze and passive avoidance tests, where the rats showed prolongation in time spent in platform quadrant and step-through latency, respectively, compared to administration of SC alone. BCLE also ameliorated the antioxidant parameters (Catalase with malondialdehyde (MDA), and the SC-induced elevation of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in rats' brain tissues. Histopathological studies supported the above results. BCLE phytochemical study resulted in isolation and structural elucidation of β-sitosterol linoleate (first to be isolated from the genus) and β-amyrin. Twenty-seven compounds (39.35%) were identified in BCLE by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The major components were triterpenoids (69.82%), composing mainly of β-amyrin (45.28%), lupeol (15.03%) and olean-12-en-3-one (6.27%), in addition to fatty acid esters (13.37%) and steroids (7.75%), which were rich in methyl palmitate (9.87%) and stigmasterol acetate (4.91%), respectively. These compounds may be responsible for ameliorating the SC-induced oxidative stress and cholinergic dysfunction.

Background & Aim: Platychaete aucheri (Boiss.) Boissis one of the Persian endemic plants and it belongs to Asteraceae family. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of crude methanolic extract and three sub-fractions of the flowering aerial parts of Platychaete aucheri against some gram-positive and gram-negative standard bacteria, Candida albicans and clinical Escherichia coli isolated from urinary tract infections (UTIs) and burn wounds. Experimental: Total methanolic extract of P.aucheri was prepared by maceration method.Further chloroform, petroleum ether and aqueous fractions were obtained by using liquid-liquid extraction method. Antimicrobial effect examined by well diffusion and broth microdilution method based on the CLSI protocol. The standard tested microbial strains included Escherichia coli PTCC 1399, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PTCC 1430, Staphylococcus aureus PTCC1431, Bacillus cereus PTCC 1247 and Candida albicans PTCC 5027. Also, extract and fractions were tested against Escherichia coli isolates from urine samples and burn wounds of patients from Imam Khomeini and Shahid Motahari Hospitals of Tehran (Iran) during 2013 and 2014 respectively. Results: Total extract and fractions had ability to prevent microbial growth. Total methanolic extract, chloroform and petroleum ether fractions demonstrated moderate antimicrobial activity against standard P.aeruginosa and E.coli with MIC values in the range of 35-42 mg/ml. MIC values against clinical isolates of E.coli were in the range of 60-72 mg/ml. The aqueous fraction showed lower antimicrobial activity in comparison to total extract and other fractions against standard and clinical isolates. Results confirmed that petroleum ether and chloroform fractions had relatively more anti bacterial activity than total methanolic extract and aqueous fraction. Recommended applications/industries: Based on the non toxicity results in future studies, this plant can be used as a natural antibacterial source for therapeutic products to help UTIs and wounds treatment.
