Biological activity tests of chemical constituents from two Brazilian Labiatae plants.[Pubmed: 17268160]

We studied the bioactivities of constituents from two tropical medicinal plants, Cunila spicata and Hyptis fasciculata. These plants found in Brazil belong to the Labiatae family.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Four known compounds obtained from these herbs were identified as 3alpha, 24-dihydoxylurs-12-en-28-oic acid, betulinic acid, aurantiamide acetate, and Aurantiamide benzoate by spectroscopic means. 3alpha, 24-Dihydoxylurs-12-en-28-oic acid has potent inhibitory activity against Streptococcus salivarius, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Porphyromomas gingivalis. Aurantiamide benzoate exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against xanthine oxidase.
CONCLUSIONS:
It was clarified that herbs Cunila spicata and Hyptis fasciculata are effective against bronchitis and gout.

Studies on constituents from Ligularia narynensis.[Pubmed: 15981879]

To study the chemical constituents from Ligularia narynensis.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The constituents were isolated and purified by column chromatography and the structures were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Six compounds were obtained as Aurantiamide benzoate (1), aurantiamide acetate (2), 1-O-octacosanoylgerol (3), beta-sitosterol (4), daucesterol (5), ferulic acid (6).
CONCLUSIONS:
All these compounds were obtained from this plant for the first time. Compounds 1 and 2 were isolated for the first time from this genus.
