Abstract
On-line HPLC-NMR chemical profiling of crude extracts derived from the bulbs of the Australian carnivorous plant Drosera erythrohiza subspecies magna was undertaken. A combination of on-flow and stop-flow HPLC-NMR methodologies enabled partial identification of two structurally related naphthoquinones as well as a mixture of their corresponding glycosides. Subsequent semi-preparative HPLC off-line isolation followed by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analysis of crude extracts of the bulbs of the plant permitted the unequivocal identification of droserone, hydroxydroserone, droserone-5-O-β-glycoside and hydroxydroserone-5-O-β-glycoside. In addition off-line separation methodologies of the aerial parts of the plant led to the identification of the bioactive compound plumbagin. This study represents only the second application of HPLC-NMR to chemically profile crude extracts of an Australian plant.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
