Master Title

Pharmacognostical study of Hordeum vulgare L. family Graminae growing in Egypt’

Master Abstract

1-All tested extracts showed strong to moderate activities against Staphylococcus aureus and acid fast bacilli . 2- The gramine showed strong activity against Gram-positive bacteroa (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Sarcina lutea),Gram - negative bacteria (Eschericia coli) yeast. No activity against acid fast bacilli (Mycobacterium pheli). 3- Only young leaf alcohol extract showed strong antifungal activity perhaps due to the presence of gramine alkaloid.

PHD Title

Comparative phytochemical and biological study of certain plants of family Cycadaceae cultivated in Egypt

PHD Abstract

Cycas is the only currently known genus of the family Cycadaceae, order Cycadales. Chemical investigation of the constituents of Cycas revoluta Thunb. and C. circinalis L. leaflets afforded two new dihydrobiflavone glycosides; I-(2,3)-dihydro-I-7-O-ß-D-glucopyranosylamentoflavone (6) I-(2,3)-dihydro-I-7, II-7-di-O-ß-D-glucopyranosylamentoflavone (7) from C. revoluta and one new biflavonoid, (2S,2?S)-2,3,2?,3?-tetrahydro-4',4?-di-O-methylamentoflavone (tetrahydroisoginkgetin, 10) from C. circinalis in addition to thirty compounds, twenty-one of which are isolated for the first time from the two species. The isolated compounds include fourteen biflavonoids, three lignans, four flavan-3-ols, six flavonoid glycosides, two nor-isoprenoids, and one flavanone. This is the first report of NMR and CD data of 2,3-dihydro-4'-O-methyl- and 2,3,2?,3?-tetrahydro-4'-O-methyl- amentoflavone (4) and (9). The CD spectrum of compound 7 showed a stable atropisomer which is seen for the first time in amentoflavone class. The structure elucidation of these compounds was established via HR-ESIMS, CD, 1D and 2D NMR techniques. The effect of O-methylation on the chemical shifts of the neighboring carbons in the 13C NMR spectra of the dihydro- and tetrahydro-amentoflavone skeletons is discussed. Analytical RP-HPLC study of different plant organs concerning their content of six biflavonoids was done. Results showed the presence of similar biflavonoid picture in the leaflets and the rachis. The seeds showed the presence of hinokiflavone and its dihydroderivative which is different from reported data. The isolated compounds were screened for the cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal activities. The new compound tetrahydroisoginkgetin (10) showed cytotoxicity to the breast ductal carcinoma with IC50 =12 µg/mL. Hinokiflavone (15) showed cytotoxicity to the melanoma with IC50 =13.4 µg/mL. Isoginkgetin (14) and dihydrobilobetin (4) showed cytoxicity to more than one cell lines with different IC50. Dihydroamentoflavone (3), tetrahydrobilobetin (9) and the new compound tetrahydroisoginkgetin (10) displayed moderate antibacterial activity against Staph. aureus (IC50 values of 8.2, 9.6, and 3.8 µM, respectively) and methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus (MRSA) (IC50 values of 11.5, 12.5, and 5.9 µM, respectively). Vitexin rhamnoside (21) showed antileishmanial activity of IC50 and IC90 of 13.4 and 34.6 µM compared to pentamidine (2.9, 14.7 µM) and amphoericine B (0.1, 0.35 µM). Keywords: Cycadales, Cycadaceae, Cycas revoluta, Cycas circinalis glycoside, biflavonoid, atropisomer, antimicrobial, cytotoxicity ,antileishmanial.
