verminoside/spathodea campanulata

A simple and reliable high-performance liquid chromatographic method was successfully developed for the study of fingerprint chromatograms of extract and fractions from the leaves of Spathodea campanulata (SC) using verminoside (1) and 1-O-(E)-caffeoyl-β-gentiobiose (2) as marker compounds.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficiency of extract, fractions and pure molecules from Spathodea campanulata (SC) towards inflammation. Polarity-based extracts of SC were found active in stabilising red blood cell (RBC) membrane indicating anti-inflammatory potential. Bioactivity-guided

Three new and four known iridoids have been isolated from the leaves of Spathodea campanulata, the structures of the new compounds were determined as 6-O-trans-caffeoyl-decinnamoyl globularimin, 6-O-trans-caffeoyl-asystasioside E and 6-O-trans-caffeoyl-5,7-bisdeoxycynanchoside and provisionally

The antioxidant principles isolated from the various parts of the plant are verminoside (leaf, stem bark and flowers; EC(50) = 2.04 µg/ml), Specioside (flowers; EC(50) = 17.44 µg/ml), Kampeferol diglucoside (leaf; EC(50) = 8.87 µg/ml) and Caffeic acid (leaf and fruits). The non anti-oxidant
