Antifungal Agents

Antifungal Agents

Amphotericin B is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that exploits structural differences between fungal and mammalian cell membranes. Its amphipathic structure—featuring a hydrophobic polyene-lactone ring and a hydrophilic region containing mycosamine and carboxylic acid groups—enables selective binding to ergosterol, a sterol predominantly found in fungal plasma membranes. This selective interaction underlies the drug’s antifungal activity, although weak binding to cholesterol contributes to...

Other Algae

Other Algae

The group Stramenopiles include some phototrophic microorganisms. Members of this group possess flagella covered in numerous short, hairlike extensions, a feature that inspired the group's name, derived from the Latin words for "straw" and "hair." Some of the main categories of Stramenopiles include diatoms, golden algae, and brown algae.Diatoms are unicellular, photosynthetic eukaryotes, with over 200 known genera. They play a key role in the planktonic communities of both marine and...

Green Algae

Green Algae

Green algae, also referred to as chlorophytes, are different from red algae in having the chloroplasts containing chlorophylls a and b, which give them their distinct green hue. However, they lack phycobiliproteins, preventing them from developing the red or blue-green pigmentation seen in red algae. In terms of photosynthetic pigment composition, green algae closely resemble plants and share a close evolutionary relationship with them. Taxonomically Green algae belong to Phylum Chlorophyta in...

Area of Science:

Phytochemistry
Natural Product Chemistry

Background:

Corallodiscus kingianus is a plant species with potential for novel chemical discoveries.
Understanding the chemical profile of medicinal plants is crucial for ethnopharmacology and drug development.

Purpose of the Study:

To isolate and elucidate the chemical constituents present in Corallodiscus kingianus.
To contribute to the phytochemical knowledge of the Gesneriaceae family.

Main Methods:

Acetone extraction of plant material.
Isolation of compounds using column chromatography.
Structure elucidation via Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Main Results:

Six compounds were successfully isolated and identified: castanopsol (1), 3beta-hydroxy-9(11),12-oleanadien-28-oic acid (2), 2,3,7-trihydroxy-6-oxo-1,3,5(10),7-tetraene-24-nor-frie-delane-29-oic acid methylester (3), 3-epicyclomusalenol (4), palmitinic acid (5), and stearic acid (6).

Conclusions:

The six identified compounds represent the first reported isolation from the Gesneriaceae family.
This study expands the known chemical diversity of Corallodiscus kingianus.
