Rhizosphere soil indicators for carbon sequestration in a reclaimed coal mine spoil
2016
Abstract Re-vegetation of mine spoil enhances carbon storage in both above-ground plant biomass and mine soil. The current study was conducted at the coalmine overburden dumps of Jharia Coalfield (India), with the aim to evaluate the effect of different tree species on the rhizosphere soil properties and to identify key rhizosphere soil indicators that influence tree biomass and carbon density. Rhizosphere soil samples were collected from five tree species ( Acacia auriculiformis , Albizia lebbeck , Cassia siamea , Delonix regia , and Dalbergia sissoo ) of the same age. An area without ground vegetation was selected as a non-rhizosphere soil. The carbon density was higher for D. sissoo and …
Two new biologically active triterpenoidal saponins acylated with salicylic acid from Albizia adianthifolia
2003
International audience; Two new oleanane-type triterpene saponins, adianthifoliosides A (1) and B (2), were isolated from a 95% ethanolic extract of roots of Albizia adianthifolia. Their structures were elucidated mainly by using a combination of 600 MHz 1D and 2D NMR techniques (COSY, NOESY, TOCSY, HSQC, and HMBC) and by FABMS and HRESIMS. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized as glycosides of acacic acid acylated by an o-hydroxybenzoyl unit. The crude saponin mixture (CSM), compounds 1 and 2 together with 3 and 4 (prosapogenins obtained from the mild alkaline hydrolysate of the CSM), were evaluated for immunomodulatory activity on the Jurkat T cell line and for hemolytic property against s…
New Triterpenoidal Saponins Acylated with Monoterpenic Acid fromAlbizia adianthifolia
2004
Four new triterpenoidal saponins acylated with monoterpenic acid, i.e., adianthifoliosides C, D, E, and F (1–4), besides the two known julibroside III and the monodesmonoterpenyl elliptoside A, were isolated from the roots of Albizia adianthifolia. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies and mass spectrometry as 3-O-{O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-(12)-O-β-d-fucopyranosyl-(16)-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(12)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl}-21-O-{(2E,6S)-6-{{4-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-(β-D-quinovopyranosyloxy)octa-2,7-dienoyl]-β-d-quinovopyranosyl}oxy}-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methylocta-2,7-dienoyl}acacic acid 28-{O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(14)-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(13)]-O-α-L-r…
Structure elucidation of new acacic acid-type saponins from Albizia coriaria.
2010
Three new acacic acid derivatives, named coriariosides C, D, and E (1–3) were isolated from the roots of Albizia coriaria. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies and mass spectrometry as 3-O-[β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 2)-β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1 6)-2-(acetamido)-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-21-O-{(2E,6S)-6-O-{4-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl- 6-O-(β-D-quinovopyranosyl)octa-2,7-dienoyl]-4-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-(β-D-quinovopyranosyl)octa-2,7-dienoyl]-β-D-quinovopyranosyl}-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl}acacic acid 28-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (1), 3-O-{β-D-fucopyranosyl-(1 6)-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 2)]-β-D-glucop…
Cytotoxic Acacic Acid Glycosides from the Roots of Albizia coriaria
2009
Two new oleanane-type saponins, coriariosides A (1) and B (2), along with a known saponin, gummiferaoside C (3), were isolated from the roots of Albizia coriaria. Their structures were established by extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (COSY, ROESY, TOCSY, HSQC, and HMBC) and mass spectrometry. Compounds 1 and 3 when tested for cytotoxicity against two colorectal human cancer cells showed activity against the HCT 116 (IC50 4.2 microM for 1 and 2.7 microM for 3) and HT-29 (IC50 6.7 microM for 1 and 7.9 microM for 3) cell lines.
Induction of apoptosis in a leukemia cell line by triterpene saponins from Albizia adianthifolia
2004
Abstract Triterpenoid saponins, which are present in plants and some marine animals, exert various important pharmacological effects. The present study examines the effects of adianthifoliosides A, B, and D (AdA, AdB, and AdD) together with two prosapogenins (Pro1 and Pro2) obtained from Albizia adianthifolia (Mimosaceae) on human leukemia T-cells (Jurkat cells) and on splenocytes. AdA, AdB, and AdD were found to exhibit a cytotoxic effect on Jurkat cells, whereas the prosapogenins were found to exert a lymphoproliferative effect on this cell type. Furthermore, all tested compounds were found to exert a synergistic lymphoproliferative activity with concanavalin A (ConA) on splenocytes. The …
