In the present study the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) was evaluated for pharmacognostical and phytochemical parameters and methanolic extract for antimicrobial activity by determining its MIC (by checker board method) and zone of inhibition (by cup plate method).Pharmacognostical parameters of the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) were studied with the aim of drawing the ph...

An iridoid β-glucoside, namely plumieride coumarate glucoside, was isolated from the Plumeria obtusa (white frangipani) flower. A β-glucosidase, purified to homogeneity from P. obtusa, could hydrolyze plumieride coumarate glucoside to its corresponding 13-O-coumarylplumieride. Plumeria β-glucosidase is a monomeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 60.6 kDa and an isoelectric point of 4.90...
