However, there are no reports available in literature till date regarding the antibacterial studies of T. minus against bovine mastitis.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antibacterial potential of crude extract of T. minus (root) and some of its isolated constituents against bovine mastitis in order to scientifically validate its traditional use.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A total of three alkaloid compounds were isolated from the DCM: MeOH extract of roots of T. minus using silica gel column chromatography. Structural elucidation of the isolated compounds was done by using spectroscopic techniques like mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Pathogens were isolated from cases of bovine mastitis and identified by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The broth micro-dilution method was used to evaluate the antibacterial activities of DCM: MeOH extract and isolated compounds against mastitis pathogens.
The three isolated compounds were identified as benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (1) 5'-Hydroxythalidasine, (2) Thalrugosaminine and (3) O-Methylthalicberine. Compounds (2) and (3) are reported for the first time from the roots of T. minus. Five mastitis pathogens viz., Staphylococcus xylosus, Staphylococcus lentus, Staphylococcus equorum, Enterococcus faecalis and Pantoea agglomerans were identified on the basis of sequence analysis of isolates using the nucleotide BLAST algorithm. This study reports for the first time the isolation and molecular characterization of mastitis pathogens from Kashmir valley, India. The DCM: MeOH extract exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activities that varied between the bacterial species (MIC=250-500µg/ml). 5'-Hydroxythalidasine and Thalrugosaminine showed promising antibacterial activity with MIC values of 64-128µg/ml while Staphylococcus species were found to be the most sensitive strains.
CONCLUSIONS:
The antibacterial activities of the DCM: MeOH extract and isolated compounds support the traditional use of T. minus in the treatment of bovine mastitis. | | Lloydia. 1977 Sep-Oct;40(5):508-14. | | Alkaloids of Thalictrum. XXII. Isolation of alkaloids with hypotensive and antimicrobial activity from Thalictrum revolutum.[Pubmed: 144834] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Sixteen alkaloids were characterized from Thalictrum revolutum DC., namely; thalidasine, O-methylthalmethine, O-methylthalicberine, Thalrugosaminine, thalicarpine, thalmelatine, pennsylvanine, palmatine, berberine, thalifendine, columbamine, jatrorrhizine, deoxythalidastine, thalphenine and magnoflorine. The structure of thairugosaminine (1) a bisbenzylisoquinoline type which was previously proposed on partial data was completely established, including the absolute configuration as S,S.
CONCLUSIONS:
Thalphenine, thalidasine, O-methylthalicberine, thalicarpine, Thalrugosaminine and thaliglucinone were found to possess hypotensive activity in rabbits. Thalrugosaminine, thalicarpine, thalmelatine, O-methylthalmethine, pennsylvanine and thalphenine were found to be active against Mycobacterium smegmatis. |
