The present study explores that the aqueous extract of the seeds of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (aka night jasmine) is very efficient for the synthesis of stable AgNPs from aqueous solution of AgNO3. The extract acts as both reducing (from Ag+ to Ag0) and capping agent in the aqueous phase. The constituents in extract are mainly biomolecules like carbohydrates and phenolic compounds, which are responsible for the preparation of stable AgNPs within 20 min of reaction time at 25 °C using without any severe conditions. The synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized with UV–Visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, XRD and SEM. UV–Vis spectroscopy analysis showed peak at 420 nm, which corresponds to the surface plasmon resonance of AgNPs. XRD results showed peaks at (111), (200), (220), which confirmed the presence of AgNPs with face-centered cubic structure. The uniform spherical nature of the AgNPs and size (between 50 and 80 nm) were further confirmed by SEM analysis.

Synthesis of novel anticancer iridoid derivatives and their cell cycle arrest and caspase dependent apoptosis

Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn (Oleaceae) is widely distributed in sub-Himalayan regions and southwards to Godavari, India commonly known as Harsingar and Night Jasmine. In continuation of our drug discovery programme on Indian medicinal plants, we isolated arbortristoside-A (1) and 7-O-trans-cinnamoyl 6β-hydroxyloganin (2) from the seeds of N. Arbortristis, which exhibited moderate in vitro anticancer activity. Chemical transformation of 2 led to significant improvement in the activity in derivative 8 and 15 against HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines. The compounds 8 and 15 were also capable of cell cycle arrest and caspase dependent apoptosis in HepG2 cell lines. These iridoid derivatives hold promise for developing safer alternatives to the marketed drugs.

PROXIMATE COMPOSITIONS OF A HERBAL PURPLE SWEET POTATO (IPOMOEA BATATASL.) WINE

ABSTRACT A herbal purple sweet potato (PSP) wine was prepared from purple-fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) and 18 medicinal plant parts (fruits of ink nut, Indian gooseberry, garlic cinnamon, leaves of holy basil, night jasmine, Malabar nut, roots of belladonna, asparagus, rhizome of ginger, etc.) by fermenting with wine yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The starch present in PSP was enzymatically saccharified (using commercial thermostable enzymes Termamyl [0.2%] and Dextrozyme GA [1%]) to fermentable sugars, and the homogenized medicinal plant parts were mixed to it at desirable quantities before subjected to fermentation. The herbal wine had the following compositions: total soluble sugar (TSS), 4.0 Brix; starch, 0.24 g/100 mL; total sugar (TS), 0.95 g/100 mL; reducing sugar, 0.38 g/100 mL; titratable acidity (TA), 1.25 g tartaric acid/100 mL; phenol, 0.19 g (caffeic acid equivalent)/100 mL; anthocyanin, 59.90 mg/100 mL; lactic acid (LA), 1.92 mg/100 mL; ethanol, 8.61% v/v; and pH, 3.34. The 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of the wine was 51.35% at a dose of 250 µg/mL. The herbal wine thus prepared was presumed to contain the therapeutic and antioxidant properties of PSP as well as those of medicinal plant parts added as adjuncts. Principal component analysis reduced the 11 original analytical and proximate variables (TSS, reducing sugars, starch, TS, TA, pH, phenol, DPPH, LA, ethanol, anthocyanin) to four independent components, which accounted for 74.53% variations (PC1, 24.18%; PC2, 20.18%; PC3, 15.41%; PC4, 14.76%). PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Herbal purple sweet potato (PSP) wine prepared from anthocyanin-rich PSP and 18 different types of medicinal plant parts is a novel and unique product with ethanol content of 8.61% v/v. The wine is rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanin and phenols and presumably possesses biological active ingredients as remedies for common ailments like cold, cough, skin diseases and dysentery.
