The current study was conducted to evaluate the phytochemicals, antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition activities of &lt;em&gt;Terfezia boudieri of &lt;/em&gt;Saudi origin. Various phytochemicals were screened applying standard procedures. The total methanol extract (TME) of the truffle was subjected to several chromatographic procedures. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH antioxidant procedure, comparing results with trolox as standard. Results demonstrated that &lt;em&gt;Terfezia boudieri &lt;/em&gt;chemically characterized by the availability of various constituents such as flavonoids, steroids, saponins, tannins and carbohydrates at different levels. Phytochemical investigation led to the isolation of β-sitosterol and gallic acid that were identified using 1H, &lt;sup&gt;13&lt;/sup&gt;C, DEPT, COSY, HMQC and HMBC NMR spectroscopic data. Results demonstrated high antioxidant activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 50.4 μg/ml and 31.4 μg/ml for TME and gallic acid, respectively. TME and gallic acid exhibited lipoxygenase inhibitory activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values 4.59 and 0.53 μg/ml for TME and gallic acid, respectively. The higher lipoxygenase inhibitory activity was presumably correlated to the high antioxidant activity. In conclusion, current investigation confirms the folklore use of &lt;em&gt;Terfezia boudieri&lt;/em&gt; as&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;antinflammatory food. Hence, the studied &lt;em&gt;Terfezia boudieri &lt;/em&gt;may have a great potential as antioxidant and antinflammatory functional food and nutraceuticals products for pharmaceutical applications.&lt;/p&gt;

The amount of lupeol was abundant in hexane extract (0.952%w/w) and formulation III (23.72ng/g) whereas, stigmasterol (0.285%w/w) and β-sitosterol (8.649%w/w) was highly abundant in chloroform extract and formulation I stigmasterol (2.57ng/g) and β-sitosterol (0.98ng/g). The optimized method was validated for different parameters and all the validated constraints were within the limits as per ICH guidelines. The proposed method was linear over the concentration range of 12.5-200μg/mL with correlation coefficients greater than 0.997. The LOD and LOQ values of lupeol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol were found to be 0.66, 5.64 and 12.8μg/mL and 2.01, 17.10 and 36.62μg/mL respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;To conclude, the developed method for the simultaneous estimation of lupeol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol was simple, precise, accurate and thus reliable for the quality control investigations of crude drugs and its herbal formulations.&lt;/p&gt;

Most species are cultivated as ornamental plants. In the Philippines, there are at least 109 species of Hoya; 88 of these are endemic to the country. One of the endemic species is &lt;em&gt;Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; often confused with &lt;em&gt;H. diversifolia&lt;/em&gt;, which can also be found in other countries. This study is part of our research on the chemical constituents of Philippine native Hoyas.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The compounds were isolated by silica gel chromatography and identified by NMR spectroscopy. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract from the leaves of&lt;em&gt; Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; afforded squalene and mixtures of β-amyrin (1a), α-amyrin (1b) and lupeol (1c) in about 1:1:0.25 ratio; oleanone (2a), ursenone (2b) and lupenone (2c) in about 1:1:0.3 ratio; β-amyrin cinnamate (3a), α-amyrin cinnamate (3b) and lupenyl cinnamate (3c) in about 0.5:0.3:1 ratio; and β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in about 5:1 ratio. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of our study indicate that &lt;em&gt;Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; shares similar chemical characteristics with other members of the genus Hoya. The triterpenes and sterols obtained from H. meliflua were also identified from other &lt;em&gt;Hoya&lt;/em&gt; species. It is interesting to note that although most Hoya plants have no known biological activity and medicinal property, the compounds isolated from H. meliflua possess diverse bioactivities.&lt;/p&gt;

It is also effective in the treatment of leprosy. It is also used as a laxative for patients having hemorrhoids and in the treatment of coughs, puerperal disease, urinary disorders, chronic dysentery and fever. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Air-dried powdered leaves of &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; were initially extracted with DCM-methanol (1:1) to afford a crude extract which was fractionated on a silica gel column to afford four fractions. The first fraction which showed antimycobacterial activity was further chromatographed in a silica gel column to afford bioactive fractions from which four compounds were obtained. The crude extract, fractions and isolated compounds were screened for their inhibitory effect against &lt;em&gt;Mycobacterium tuberculosis&lt;/em&gt; H&lt;sub&gt;37&lt;/sub&gt;Rv (ATCC) using the colorimetric Microplate Alamar Blue Assay (MABA) method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The fractions obtained after silica gel chromatography of the crude DCMmethanol (1:1) revealed the first fraction (MIC=64 mg/mL) to exert the highest inhibition against &lt;em&gt;M. tuberculosis&lt;/em&gt; H&lt;sub&gt;37&lt;/sub&gt;Rv. Further separation of this fraction afforded sub-fractions with moderately strong inhibitory activity against the test organism (MIC up to 64 mg/mL). Chromatographic purification of sub-fraction 1 afforded four compounds which were spectroscopically identified as &amp;beta;-amyrin 3-palmitate (1), squalene (2) and a 1:1 mixture of the sterols &amp;beta;-sitosterol (3) and stigmasterol (4). Evaluation of the antimycobacterial activity of 1&amp;ndash;4 showed insignificant inhibitory activity against the test organism (MIC = &amp;gt;128 mg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present results demonstrate the potential of &lt;em&gt;Abutilon indicum&lt;/em&gt; as a plant source of compounds that may exhibit promising antituberculosis activity. While the known compounds isolated for this plant did not show antimycobacterial activity, the obtained results are considered sufficient reason for further study to isolate the metabolites from &lt;em&gt;A. indicum&lt;/em&gt; responsible for the antitubercular activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Abutilon indicum&lt;/em&gt;, Malvaceae, antitubercular, squalene, &amp;beta;-amyrin 3-palmitate, &amp;beta;-sitosterol, stigmasterol.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allan Patrick G.
