The effect of solvent polarity on the reaction of PCl5 with (Me3Si)2NH has been investigated and it is found that nonpolar solvents promote the formation of Cl3PNSiMe3, whereas the more polar chloroform gives unusual phosphazenes at room temperature.

The three bioactive components isolated included: component A (major phytochemicals were Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (16.36 %), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, ethyl ether (14.77 %) and 9.cis., 11.trans.-octadecadie noate (14.77 %), component B (major phytochemicals were 9,12-Octadecadienal (Linoleic acid) (40.98 %), Octadecanoic acid (Stearic acid) (9.26 %), Undecanoic acid, 10-bromo- (10-bromoudecanoic acid) (9.26 %) and n-Hexadecanoic acid (Palmitic acid) and component C (cis-9-octadecenoic acid (Oleic Acid) (30.45 %), Octadecanoic acid (Stearic acid) (17.33 %)). These components isolated from the chloroform fraction of Adenodolichos paniculatus are used by traditional medicinal practitioners for the management of mouth and throat infections. The antibacterial activities against Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were evaluated using bioautography and agar-well diffusion methods. The bioautogram result showed that component A had inhibited spots against S. pyogenes (17.50 mm) and P. aeruginosa (16.00 mm), corresponding to the TLC spots with Rf values of 0.594, 0.55 and 0.26, respectively. Component B showed inhibition spots against Streptococcus pyogenes (36.50 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (16.00 mm) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.00 mm), corresponding to the TLC spots with Rf values 0.891, 0.87, 0.85 and 0.25, respectively. Component C showed inhibition spots against Streptococcus pyogenes (16.50 mm), Staphylococcus aureus (15.00 mm) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10.50 mm), corresponding to the TLC spots Rf values of 0.938, 0.44, 0.21 and 0.90, respectively. For the agar-well diffusion method, component A at 1 mg/ml inhibited Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growths with zones of inhibition 23.0, 19.5 and 17.50 mm, respectively. MIC and MBC of component A were 125, 250 and 250 and 250, 500 and 500 μg/ml, respectively. Component B at 1 mg/ml inhibited Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth with zones of inhibition 30.0, 28.0 and 18.5 mm, respectively. MIC and MBC of the compound B were 31, 62 and 125 and 62, 125 and 250 μg/ml, respectively. Component C at 1 mg/ml inhibited Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth with zones of inhibition 24.5, 20.5 and 17.0 mm, respectively. MIC and MBC of the component C were 62, 125 and 250 and 125, 250 and 500 μg/ml, respectively. This study confirmed that bioactive compounds of A. paniculatus root have antibacterial properties and support the use of this part of the plant as a traditional remedy for mouth and throat infections possibly caused by the test bacteria.

Fixed oil obtained from the seeds of Momordica tuberosa (Roxb) Cogn. fruits (family: Cucurbitaceae) was analyzed using GC-MS. Five compounds, namely palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid), oleic acid (9-octadecenoic acid), stearic acid (octadecanoic acid), ?-eleostearic acid (9, 11, 13-octadecatrienoic acid) and gama-linolenic acid (6, 9, 12-octadecatrienoic acid) were found to be major compounds in fixed oil obtained from the seeds of M. tuberosa fruits. Physical constants saponification value, unsaponifiable matter and acid value were found to be 182.4, 1.56% w/w and 11.44 respectively.
