Abstract
Tetrapleura tetraptera fruit, used as spice in West Africa was studied chemically; five previously undescribed triterpenoid saponins 1-5 and four known compounds 6-9 were isolated from the n-Butanol fraction. The chemical structures of all nine isolates were determined by comprehensive analysis of HRMS, 1D & 2D NMR experiments and by comparison with data in the literature. All nine compounds were evaluated for antibacterial activity by the broth microdilution through the rapid p-iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) colorimetric technique. The results showed that only compounds 5 (MIC = 64 µg/mL against P. aeruginosa and P. stuartii) and 8 (MIC = 64 µg/mL against E. coli) exhibited moderate antibacterial activity. The rest of the compounds displayed weak antibacterial activity against the tested organisms. Molecular docking studies was used to comprehend antibacterial activities.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
