Phytochemical and biological studies of Atriplex inflata f. Muell.: isolation of secondary bioactive metabolites.
Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology 2017 August
OBJECTIVES: This work describes the phytochemical and biological investigation of the Tunisian Atriplex inflata F. Muell (Chenopodiaceae).
METHODS: Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D NMR and 2D NMR, ESI-HRMS and comparison with available literature data. The isolates were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by the DPPH• , ABTS+• , Fe3+ and catalase assays and also for their antibacterial and anticholinesterase activity.
KEY FINDINGS: The chemical study of Atriplex inflata F. Muell led to the isolation of two fatty acids (9E)-methyl-8,11,12-trihydroxyoctadec-9-enoate 1 and (9E)-8,11,12-trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid 2 together with (Z)-litchiol B 3 and 20-hydroxyecdysone 4. Three of which are reported here for the first time in Atriplex genus. Based on the biosynthesis of hydroxylated arachidonic acid and derivatives, a plausible biogenesis pathway of the two fatty acids (1 and 2) was proposed. (Z)-litchiol B (3) was found to be the most active against Staphylococcus aureus. According to the literature, this is the first time that compounds 1, 2 and 3 were tested for their eventual biological activity.
CONCLUSIONS: In the results of the present work, we have proposed the biogenesis pathway of unsaturated fatty acid and described the structure-activity relationship.
