Isolation and Characterization of Secondary Metabilites and Evaluation of Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Thrombolytic Potentials of Erythrina variegata L. Bark

摘要

Six compounds, sitosta-4-en-3-one (1), 3β,28-dihydroxyolean-12-en (2), scandenone (3), alpinum isoflavone (4), stigmasterol (5) and lupeol (6) were isolated from the methanol soluble extract of the stem bark of Erythrina variegata. The structure of the compounds was established by extensive NMR studies as well as co-TLC with authentic sample. The petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and aqueous soluble fractions of the methanolic extract of Erythrina variegata were evaluated for antimicrobial, antioxidant and thrombolytic properties. In the antimicrobial study, most of the fractions of the extract exhibited mild to moderate antimicrobial activity where the zone of inhibition were ranging from 7.69 to 19.51 mm. The chloroform soluble fraction showed significant antioxidant activity with IC5o value 66.28 ug/mL as compared to standard BHT (IC5o value 23.09 ug/mL). The thrombolytic property of different extracts of E. variegata exhibited moderate activity ranging from 31.25 to 57.78 %.
