New naphthalene derivatives (1 and 2) and a new isomer (3) of ventilagolin, together with known anthraquinones, chrysophanol (4), physcion or emodin 3-methyl ether (5), and emodin (6), were isolated from vines of Ventilago denticulata. The isolated compounds exhibited cytotoxic activity with IC50
Thai/Lanna medicinal plant recipes have been used for the treatment of several diseases including liver cancer. In this study, methanolic extracts (MEs) of 23 plants were tested for antiproliferative activity on human hepatoma cell line (Hep G2) by the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Nine MEs with
A new flavonol diglycoside, rhamnocitrin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->6)-β-D-galactopyranoside, was isolated from the leaves of Ventilago Africana, in addition to 11 known flavonoids. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods including 1D- and 2D-NMR, and HR-ESI-MS analysis. The
In this study, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the hexane extract of the root of Ventilago madraspatana were evaluated. Based on the significant bioactivity of crude hexane extract, an active compound was purified from the root extract. The active compound was further purified and
