Constituents from Polyalthia cerasoides, stem bark methanol extract, were previously documented. This study reports the first isolation of bioactive N-(4-hydroxy-β-phenethyl)-4-hydroxycinnamide (1) from ethyl acetate extract of the plant species including stigmasterol and a mixture of triterpenes from hexane and dichloromethane extracts. Trace essential elements were found in the hexane extract...

One of these plants utilized in traditional medicine is Lactuca seriolla Linn., which belongs to the Asteraceae family. It goes by a variety common names world, including prickly lettuce, wild jagged and Kahu khas. The work aimed isolate characterize some bioactive constituent(s) from aerial part serriola utilizing Combiflash NEXTGEN high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). (aerial part) ...

A reproducible analytical method using reverse-phase high liquid performance chromatography combined with UV detecting was developed for the quantitative determination of four compounds isolated from the ethanol extract of Phaseolus angularis seeds (PASE): oleanolic acid (1), oleanolic acid acetate (2), stigmasterol (3) and β-sitosterol (4). This method was fully validated in terms of linearity...

Phytochemical investigations of chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts from the aerial parts of Warionia saharae Benth. & Coss. from Algeria resulted in the isolation of ten known compounds: β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, scopoletin, cirsimaritin, chrysoeriol, hispidulin, luteolin, esculetin, (2R,3R) taxifolin, quercetin. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic anal...

Stigmasterol (99.9% pure) was isolated from Azadirachta indica and its chemopreventive effect on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced skin cancer was investigated in Swiss albino mice. Skin tumors were induced by topical application of DMBA and promoted by croton oil. To assess the chemopreventive potential of stigmasterol, it was orally administered at a concentration of 200 mg/kg and...

We explored the potential benefits of stigmasterol in the treatment of asthma, an airway disorder characterized by immune pathophysiology and with an ever-increasing worldwide prevalence. We assessed the modulatory effect of the intraperitoneal administration of stigmasterol on experimentally induced airway inflammation in guinea pigs. The effect of stigmasterol on inflammatory cell proliferati...

Seven flavonoids, hemerocallone (1), 6,7-dimethoxy-3',4'-dimethoxyisoflavone (2), amentoflavone (4), agathisflavone (6), cupressuflavone (8), robustaflavone (9) and epicatechin (10), together with three other compounds, lithospermoside (3), β-D-fructofuranosyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (5) and 3β-O-D-glucopyranosyl-β-stigmasterol (7), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the stem bark of O...

Upon inoculation with pathogenic microbes, plants induce an array of metabolic changes that potentially contribute to induced resistance or even enhance susceptibility. When analysing leaf lipid composition during the Arabidopsis thaliana-Pseudomonas syringae interaction, we found that accumulation of the phytosterol stigmasterol is a significant plant metabolic process that occurs upon bacteri...

Technological developments have prompted the production of highly advanced smartphones. However, various features cause smartphones to heat up quickly and emit more electromagnetic radiation, which harms human health. Smartphone protection is needed solve these issues. This study aims create a film from S. trifasciata plant based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) reduce thermal radiation plants were m...
