Saponins of lucerne seeds have been prepared by two different methods. It was found by thin-layer chromatography that these glycosides consist of at least four components with one dominant. Soyasapogenols B, C and E were identified in acid hydrolysate of these saponins and in carbohydrate moiety glucose, galactose, rhamnose, small quantity of arabinose and xylose and glucuronic acid. It was established that saponins of lucerne seeds do not haemolyse red blood cells, contrary to top, root and blossom saponins. That may be due to the lack of medicagenic acid glycosides.

Introduction: Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas’ disease and affects approximately 6-8 million people worldwide. The search for new anti-T. cruzi drugs are relevant because only two drugs exist actually. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the extracts from the seeds of Lonchocarpus cultratus on T. cruzi, its cytotoxicity as well as to elucidate its chemical profile. Methodology: The characterization of the extracts was done using 1H-RMN. T. cruzi forms were treated with increasing concentrations of the extracts and after, the percentage of inhibition and IC50 or LC50 were calculated. Murine peritoneal macrophages were treated with different concentrations of the extracts to evaluate the cellular viability. The hemotoxicity was accessed by verifying the levels of hemolysis caused by the extracts on human red blood cells. Results: Chalcones isocordoin and lonchocarpin were detected in the dichloromethane extract, and chalcone lonchocarpin was detected in the hexane extract. The dichloromethane extract showed higher activity against all the forms of T. cruzi compared to the other two extracts, but the hexane showed the best selectivity index. The cytotoxicity observed in murine macrophages was confirmed in human erythrocytes, with dichloromethane extract having the highest toxicity. The methanolic extract showed the lowest anti-T. cruzi activity but was nontoxic to peritoneal murine macrophages and red blood cells. Conclusions: L. cultratus extracts have the potential to be explored for the development of new anti-trypanosomal drugs. This study was the first to demonstrate the action of extracts from the genus Lonchocarpus on infecting forms of T. cruzi.

Tanaman buni (Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng.) secara tradisional telah digunakan untuk hipertensi, takikardia, anemia, sifilis, antikanker, antioksidan, sumber pewarna alami dan antidiabetes. Saponin merupakan senyawa fitokimia yang mempunyai kemampuan membentuk busa dan mengandung aglikon polisiklik yang berikatan dengan satu atau lebih gula. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan karakterisasi senyawa saponin hasil isolasi dari daun buni dengan spektrofotometer ultraviolet dan inframerah. Simplisia daun buni dilakukan karakterisasi kemudian diekstraksi dengan cara maserasi bertingkat menggunakan pelarut n-heksana dan etanol 80%. Selanjutnya ekstrak etanol dihidrolisis dengan HCl 2N kemudian difraksi dengan pelarut kloroform. Isolasi dilakukan terhadap fraksi kloroform dengan cara kromatografi lapis tipis preparatif menggunakan fase diam silika gel GF254 dan fase gerak yang sesuai. Isolat yang diperoleh diuji kemurnian dengan KLT 2 arah dan dikarakterisasi menggunakan spektrofotometer ultraviolet dan inframerah. Hasil pemeriksaan karakterisasi simplisia diperoleh kadar air 7,32%, kadar sari larut dalam etanol 52,70%, kadar sari larut dalam air 23,25%, kadar abu total 6,86% dan kadar abu tidak larut dalam asam 0,94%. Pemisahan fraksi kloroform dengan KLT menggunakan fase gerak n-heksana-etilasetat perbandingan 5:5 diperoleh noda 13 dan hasil KLT preparatif diperoleh 2 isolat murni yaitu isolat 1 (ungu merah) dengan Rf 0,92 dan isolat 2 (biru) dengan Rf 0,78. Hasil karakterisasi isolat 1 diperoleh panjang gelombang maksimum pada 208 nm dan dijumpai adanya gugus hidroksil, gugus -CH alifatis, ikatan C=C, gugus –CH2, gugus –CH3, dan gugus C-O. Hasil karakterisasi isolat 2 diperoleh panjang gelombang maksimum pada 204 nm dan adanya gugus hidroksil, gugus -CH alifatis, gugus –CH2, gugus –CH3, dan gugus C-O. Buni (Antidesmabunius (L.) Spreng.) has been traditionally used for the treatment of hypertension, tachycardia, anemia, syphilis, and used asanti-cancer, anti-oxidant, natural dye, and anti-diabetic. Saponin is a phytochemical compound which has capability in forming foam and contains polycyclic aglycone that binds with one or more glucose. This research aimed to conduct the characterization of saponin compound from buni leaves with ultraviolet spectrophotometer and infrared. Buni leaves simplicia was characterizedand extracted using sequential maceration method with n-hexane and 80% ethanol. The ethanol extract was hydrolyzed with HCl 2N and fractionized using chloroform solvent. Isolation of chloroform fraction was done using preparative thin-layer chromatography using silent phase of silica gel GF 254 and suitable mobile phase. Isolates obtained was taken into purity test with two dimensions thin-layer chromatography and characterized using ultraviolet spectrophotometer and infrared. The characterized simplicia resulted with 7.32% of water content, 52.70% of dissolved content in ethanol, 23.25% of dissolvedcontent in water, 6.86% of total ash content, and 0.94% of undissolved ash content in acid. Fractinationof chloroform fraction with thin-layer chromatography using mobile phase ofn-hexane-ethyl acetate with 5:5 ration resulted with 13 spotsand the result of the preparative thin-layer chromatography resulted 2 pure isolates which are isolate 1 (purple-red) with Rf 0.92 and isolate 2 (blue) with Rf 0.78. The characterization of isolate 1 resulted that the maximum wave lengthwas 208 nm with hydroxyl group, –CH aliphatic group, C=C bond, –CH2 group, –CH3 group, and C–O group. The characterization of isolate 2 resulted that the maximum wave lengthwas204 nm with hydroxyl group, –CH aliphatic group, –CH2 group, –CH3 group, and C–O group.
