Tephrosia toxicaria (Sw.) Pers. extracts: Screening by examining aedicidal action under laboratory and field conditions along with its antioxidant, antileishmanial, and antimicrobial activities. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0275835. [PMID: 36630475 PMCID: PMC9833590 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0275835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/24/2022] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
An increase in the incidence of arboviral, microbial and parasitic infections, and to disorders related to oxidative stress has encouraged the development of adjuvant therapies based on natural formulations, such as those involving plant extracts. Thus, to expand the repertoire of the available therapeutic options, this study aimed to describe the versatility of Tephrosia toxicaria (Sw.) (Pers., 1807) extracts for the control of arbovirus vectors, as well as their antioxidant, antileishmanial, and antimicrobial potential. Among the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts obtained, the hydroethanolic extract from roots (RHA) was identified as the most active larvicide extract demonstrating, respectively, the lowest lethal concentration (mg/mL) for 50%, 90% and 99% of Aedes aegypti (L., 1762) and Aedes albopictus (S., 1894) larvae, observed at 24 h (0.33, 0.84 and 1.80; 0.32, 0.70 and 1.32) and 48 h (0.17, 0.51 and 1.22; 0.26, 0.47 and 0.78) post-exposure. Field assays revealed that RHA (0.84 mg/mL) is a potential oviposition deterrent, reducing egg-laying by approximately 90%. RHA (0.1 mg/mL) also exhibited antioxidant activity for the following tests: total antioxidant capacity (286.86 mg AAE/g), iron (87.16%) and copper (25.64%) chelation, and superoxide scavenging (10%). In the cell culture assays, RHA (0.1 mg/mL) promoted regeneration of metabolic activity (92% cell viability) in cells exposed to oxidative stress. Furthermore, RHA displayed weak antileishmanial activity (IC50 = 3.53 mg/mL) against Leishmania amazonensis and not exhibit antimicrobial activity. The extraction favored the concentration of carbohydrates in RHA, in addition to lectins and protease inhibitors, with molecular masses estimated between 10 and 24 kDa. Cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity analyses of RHA suggested its biosecurity. Thus, RHA is a multivalent extract with insecticide and antioxidant properties at low and safe concentrations. However, others studies on its indirect toxic effects are ongoing to ensure the complete safety of RHA.

Abstract
Three new rotenoids, named derieliptosides A-C (1-3), were isolated from the stems of Derris elliptica (Wall.) Benth. Their structures were determined by HR-ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopic methods. Absolute configurations of them were elucidated by analysis of ECD spectra in comparison with TD-DFT calculation. Compounds 1-3 inhibited the growth of fungus Candida albicans and selectively inhibited bacterial strains. Of these, compound 1 showed selective inhibition on the growth of Enterococcus faecalis (MIC: 37.5 µM and IC50: 10.6 µM), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC: 75 µM and IC50: 22.7 µM), and C. albicans (MIC: 37.5 µM and IC50: 11.2 µM).

Abstract
Two previously undescribed compounds, namely dalpulapans F and G (1 and 2), along with 11 known compounds were isolated from the MeOH crude extract of the roots of Dalbergia stipulacea. Dalpulapan F was found as a rare isoflavone-quinone derivative. Their structures and absolute configurations were supported by extensive spectroscopic data analysis, including 1 D and 2 D NMR, HRESIMS data, specific rotation data, and comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD data. Cytotoxicity evaluation of the isolated compounds against HepG2 and KKU-M156 cell lines revealed that isoflavonoid 9 and rotenoid 13 exhibited the most activity against the two cell lines.

Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of Diospyros mespiliformis leaves resulted in the isolation of new acylated flavone isoscutellarein 7-O-(4'''-O-acetyl)-β-allopyranosyl(1''' → 2'')-β-glucopyranoside (1), along with eight known flavonoid metabolites, luteolin 3',4',6,8-tetramethyl ether (2), luteolin 4'-O-β-neohesperidoside (3), luteolin 7-O-β-glucoside (4), luteolin (5), quercetin (6), quercetin 3-O-β-glucoside (7), quercetin 3-O-α-rhamnoside (8), and rutin (9). Their structures were identified by analysis of spectroscopic (UV, NMR, and MS) data, as well as by acid hydrolysis for the isolated glycosides. The antioxidant activity of D. mespiliformis metabolites was determined by the DPPH radical-scavenging assay. The new acylated flavone (1) and flavonol O-rhamnoside (8) displayed the highest antioxidant activities with IC50 values 15.46 and 12.32 μg/mL, respectively, with respect to the antioxidant ascorbic acid (IC50 value 10.62 μg/mL). In addition, the isolated flavonoids were evaluated against four human pathogenic bacteria where the methylated flavone (2) exhibited potent activity against Escherichia coli with inhibition zone 34 mm, and mild activity of flavonol O-rhamnoside (8) against Staphylococcus aureus with MIC value 9.77 μg/mL. According to the MBC/MIC ratio, the antibacterial activity of the isolated flavonoids was considered flavonoid 2 is bactericidal nature against S. aureus, and flavonoids 3 and 4 are bactericidal against E. coli.
