RESUMO
Introduction@#<i>Astragalus</i> is the largest member of the <i>Fabaceae</i> family of about 3,000 species on all continents except Australia, and the <i>Astragalus mongholicus</i> Bunge and the <i>Astragalus membranaceus</i> (Fisch.) Bge are studied and widely used. <i>Astragalus</i> contains polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, amino acids and trace elements, so it has a variety of pharmacological effects and is active in supporting the immune system and protecting the liver, heart and kidneys.@*Objectives@#A joint research team of the “Tsombo Pharm” Co., LTD and the Drug research Institute is conducting an experiment to produce an injectable solution from <i>Astragalus mongholicus</i> Bunge. The aim is to expand these previous studies to determine the main parameters of the “Монгол хунчир” injection drug technology.@*Methods@#The quality of the injection was assessed by the following parameters. These include: appearance, color of the injection solution, mechanical mixture sensing method, solution filling volume method, solution environment potentiometry method, solution clarity comparison method, insoluble particle size microscopy method, heavy metal mixture atomic absorption spectroscopy method and calicosine-7-o-β-d-glycoside content was determined by HPLC.@*Results@#According to the results of the study, the injectable drug was weak yellow, clear, free of mechanical impurities and heavy metal content, filling 2 ± 0.001 ml, pH 6.5, insoluble particle size greater than 10 μm, 3 particles per 1 ml, small particles larger than 25 μm were present in 1 ml. Calicosin-7-o-β-d-glycosides were identified in the “Монгол хунчир” injection as having the same standard and sample peak times, with the standard substance being detected at 9.003 minutes and the sample solution at 9.016 minutes (Picture 1, 2). In addition, the injection sample contained 0.0477 ± 0.0021 mg / g of calicosin-7-o-β-d-glycoside, and 0.0451-0.0551 mg / g was considered appropriate for further standardization.@*Conclusions@#The “Монгол хунчир” injection meets the general requirements for injection in accordance with the Mongolian National Pharmacopeia 2011. This shows that the technological parameters developed by our research team are appropriate.
RESUMO
The tree tomato (Solanum betaceum Cav., Solanaceae) anthracnose, caused by the fungi Colletotrichum acutatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is the most important disease of this crop in Colombia for its wide distribution and the losses it causes. In the present work, the in vitro antifungal activity of the soluble fractions in n-hexane, dichloromethane, and ethyl acetate, and their major constituents from the sawdust of timber specie Platymiscium gracile Benth. (Fabaceae) against both fungi was evaluated. The n-hexane-soluble fraction exhibited the greatest inhibitory effect. The metabolites homopterocarpin (a pterocarpan, 0.39 percent dry weight), calycosin (an isoflavone, 2.01 percent) and scoparone (a coumarin, 1.48 percent) were isolated for the first time from wood sawdust of P. gracile. The structure of these compounds was determined by 1H and 13C NMR analyses. The three compounds tested showed significant antifungal activity.
La antracnosis del tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum Cav., Solanaceae), ocasionada por los hongos Colletotrichum acutatum y Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, es la enfermedad más importante de este cultivo en Colombia por su amplia distribución y las pérdidas que ocasiona. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la actividad antifúngica in vitro de las fracciones solubles en n-hexano, diclorometano y acetato de etilo, y sus componentes mayoritarios, del aserrín de la especie maderable Platymiscium gracile Benth. (Fabaceae), contra ambos hongos. La fracción en n-hexano exhibió el mayor efecto inhibitorio. Los metabolitos homopterocarpina (un pterocarpano; 0.39 por ciento del peso seco de aserrín), calicosin (una isoflavona; 2.01 por ciento) y escoparona (una cumarina; 1.48 por ciento) se aislaron por primera vez desde el aserrín de madera de P. gracile empleando técnicas cromatográficas. La estructura de los compuestos se determinó por análisis de RMN de 1H y 13C. Los tres metabolitos mostraron una actividad antifúngica significativa contra ambos hongos.
