Abstract
Background: Lupeol, a pentacyclic triterpenoid is found in the stem-bark of Walsura trifoliate. Derivatives of lupeol are associated with a broad range of biological activities.
Objective: To synthesis a series of Lupeol-benzylidine derivatives and evaluate their antimicrobial and antiproliferative acitivities.
Method: Lupeol was isolated from the bark of Walsura trifoliate. The ring A at C2 position of Lupeol was modified by claisens Schmidt condentation to produce Lupeol-benzylidine derivatives. Antimicrobial assay was performed by broth dilution technique.
Results: All the structures were confirmed by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and IR spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 3c and 3h exhibited the highest activity.
Conclusion: In conclusion, a series of different benzylidine derivatives from natural product Lupeol have been synthesized. All the tested compounds are found to be as antimicrobial and antiproliferative agents.
Keywords: Walsura trifoliata, Lupeol, benzylidine derivatives, pentacyclic triterpenoid, anti proliferative activities, claisens condensation.

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
