According to the WHO(1), 80% of the world population relies on medicinal plants for their primary health care needs. Plants and their extracts continue to provide effective treatment for different kinds of diseases therefore such plants should be investigated to understand better about their properties, safety and efficacy. Family Acanthaceae, a taxon of dicotyledonous flowering plants, is considered as one of the richest families with medicinal plants(2). It includes about 346 genera and around 4300 species(3,4,5). The most common genera are Barleria (230 spp.), Blepharis (129 spp.), Acanthus (50 spp.), Anisotes (23 spp.)(6), Andrographis (20 spp.) and Adhatoda (20spp.)(4). Most are tropical herbs, shrubs, or twining vines; some are epiphytes. Only a few species are distributed in temperate regions. The four main centres of distribution are Indonesia, Malaysia, Africa, Brazil and Central America(4,5). The representatives of the family can be found in nearly every habitat, including dense or open forests, in scrublands, on wet fields, valleys, at the sea coast, in marine areas, in swamps and as an element of mangrove woods. Several plants of family Acanthaceae were used in traditional herbal medicine, some are grown as ornamentals(3) since they have large flowers with colourful petals, also they are used as a source of natural dyes(3). Therefore, the two plants under investigation were selected to find new pharmaceutical compounds and potential applications for them. 2 TAXONOMY The plants under investigation could be classified taxonomically as follows(7,8): Kingdom: Plantae = Plants Subkingdom: Tracheobionta = Vascular plants Division: Magnoliophyta = flowering plants Class: Magnoliopsida = Dicotyledons Subclass: Asteridae Order: Scrophulariales Family: Acanthaceae Subfamily: Acanthoideae Tribe: Acantheae Genus: Anisotes Blepharis Species: trisulcus – Nees. ciliaris Botanical name: Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Arabic names: Amodh, Madh (‫)ﺍﻟﻤﺽ‬, Moze (‫)ﻣﻮوز‬ Shawk-ul-Dab (‫)ﺸﻭﻙ ﺍﻟﻀﺏ‬, and Modaid (‫() ﺍﻟﻤﻀﻴﺽ‬7,9) Zughaf (‫)ﺯﻏﺎﻑ‬, Shuqaf (‫)ﺸﻐﻑ‬, Kohl-el-agouz (‫)ﻜﺤل ﺍﻟﻌﺠﻭﺯ‬ Synonyms: Dianthera trisulca Forssk., B.edulis (Nees.)Pers., Anisotes velutinus Lindau, B.persica (Burm.f.) Kuntze Calasias bracteata Raf.(7,9,10) Acanthodium spicatum(2,10,11,12,13) 3 Taxonomy Plants of this family are characterized morphologically by the following(2-5,8,10,14): The leaves: are simple, opposite mostly decussate, rarely whorled, exstipulate, usually entire with lobed or spiny or toothed margin and without stipules. The stem: the main trunk is erect, branched mainly herbaceous or woody. The stem breaks with complete or incomplete fracture, especially in its upper part and fibrous in its lower one. The inflorescence: either spike, dichasial cymes, in its ultimate branching tending to be monochasial and frequently condensed in the leaf axils. Racemose inflorescences also occur and solitary inflorescences are common. Bracts and bracteoles: are usually present, often coloured. The bracteoles are frequently large, enclosing the flower. They are usually two, sometimes more under the individual flowers, either free or connected to an epicalyx. The flowers: are solitary or aggregated as inflorescence. They are hermaphrodite, small, usually irregular, zygomorphic, hypogenous and with nectariferous disk below the ovary. The calyx: is composed of 5 (rarely 4) free or gamosepalous sepals. The corolla: is tubular two-lipped or sub-equally five lobed. The lobes are imbricate, sometimes are nearly regular. The androecium: is composed of 4 epipetalous stamens in two sets, didynamous rarely five. Sometimes a staminodium is present, hypogenous disk is present but mostly small. The anthers are two or one celled. They are often with one lobe smaller than the other or abortive, connective is often long. The pollen grains exhibit a great variety of patterns. The gynaecium: is bicappillary and syncarpous. The ovary is superior, bilocular with two to many ovules in each locule. The ovules are anatropous with an axile placentation. The style is simple, filiform and linear. The stigma is usually two-lobed, often of unequal size. The floral formula: Taxonomy 4 %, , K(4-5), C(4-5), A2 or 4,G(2) The fruit: is bilocular capsule opening by two valves which are often elastically, dehiscent. The septum splitting and the seeds are borne on each half. The seeds: are usually exalbuminous, possess curved projections or peculiar hook-like outgrowth (retinacula or jaculators) arising from their stalks. The seeds have hairs on the surface which swell up when wetted and may be of one use in anchoring the seed to its place of germination. Genus Anisotes Nees.(6,15,16): This genus comprises about 23 species, distributed in Tropical regions and Southern Africa to Madagascar. It is represented by perennial glabrous or hairy shrubs, the leaves are opposite petiolated rarely sessile. Flowers are sessile in axillary clusters or in dense spike like cyme, the calyx is distinct of 5 sepals, the corolla bilobed, red to orange red in colour, the stamens 2, the ovary 2-loculed and the ovules 2 per locule. The fruits are capsules, four seeded lacking hygroscopic hairs. Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.(7,9,15,16,17,18) is a stiffy erect shrub with a height of 1-3.5 m. It is endogenous to Yemen and widely distributed in the Southern mountainous regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia particularly in Wadi Jabal Abu Hassan between Abha and Najran. The main stem of the plant is erect, cylindrical, monopodially branched carrying numerous branches showing more or less long internodes. The young stem is purplish-green in colour, while the old one has rough surface covered with brownish cork. The branches bear opposite and decussate leaves at the nodes. The leaves are simple, petiolate and exstipulated. The lamina is ovate to elliptic in shape with obtuse or sub-acute apex, entire margin and symmetric base. The venation is pinnately reticulate. The lamina is hairy and yellowish green in colour. Flowers are shortly pedunculate, 2-flowered axillary clusters. Bracts are small and linear. 5 Taxonomy Calyx segments are 5 and linear. Corrolla brick red, 3-5 cm long, divided nearly to the base into 2 lips, the upper lip is notched, the lower one is much narrower and weakly 3-lobed. Stamens have 2 anthers which are 2celled, one cell above the other. Fruit capsule, 4 seeded. Seeds are rough. Fig. (1): Photo of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Genus Blepharis A. Juss.(3,10,17,18): It is an Afroasiatic genus comprising about 129 species which occur in arid and semi-arid habitats. It is widespread in Tropical Africa, Arabia, India extending to South East Asia and China. The genus is represented by annual or perennial thistle like spiny herbs or shrubs. The leaves are in false whorls, one pair is smaller than the other. Flowers are blue in spikelike cymes, calyx of 4 glumaceous sepals, corolla one lipped, the lip is 3-5 lobed with four stamens, two anterior filaments broader than the posterior 6 Taxonomy and bilocular ovary. Fruits are two seeded capsule with discoid seeds covered with hygroscopic hairs. Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.(3,10,18) is a perennial, greyishpubescent to glabrescent ascending, prickly herb branched from the base, reaching up to 30 cm in height, distributed in East Tropical Africa, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

Inflorescence is a dense, strobilate spike with purplish-blue flowers, bracteoles are linear-subulate villose. Calyx is scarious, membranous, soft hairy, 4-lobed, lobes are unequal, upper lobe is the longest. Corolla tube is short, upper lip is absent, lower lip is flat with 3 obtuse lobes and puberulous. Fruit is a capsule, ovate to compressed shining brown and glabrous with two flat seeds. Fig. (2): Photo of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. Folk Medicine: 7 Taxonomy Many plants belonging to this family are of great biological importance since they are widely used in folk medicine as a remedy for several ailments as: Adhatoda vasica Nees. the leaves, flowers and roots extracts are commonly used in India as an expectorant and bronchodilator, consequently act as a remedy for cold, cough and asthma, in addition they are used as antibacterial, anticholinestrerase. Also they are used in wound healing, abortifacient, inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antimutagenic, antioxidant, cardioprotective, antiulcer and antias hypoglycaemic(19). The leaves extracts of Justicia gendarussa Burm.f. are used in treatment of arthritis(20), anti-inflammatory, strongly active against HIV type 1 reverse transcriptase and asthma(21). Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees. is useful in treatment of diarrhea, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-leishmanial, antiHIV, anti-malarial, hepatoprotective, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anticancer, cold and fever(22). Justicia pectoralis Jacq. is used as a relaxant and general tonic. Its preparations can possess anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-lieshmanial, relaxant effects and it supports recovery from influenza(21,23). Barleria cristata L. seeds are used in cases of snake bites while the juice of the leaves is used for cough(24) while roots are ground into a paste and taken orally for diarrhea(25). Taxonomy 8 Ruella asperula Benth. & Hook.f. leaves and roots maceration and infusion are used against bronchitis, asthma, flu, fever and uterus inflammation(26). Hypostes forskaolei R.Br. extract possess an anti-neoplastic activity(27). Hypostes purpurea R.Br. is used in Taiwan in folk medicine to promote blood circulation, an antipyretic, antiphlogistic, liver protective agent and remove stasis, while they are used in Chinese folk medicine for the treatment of cough, fever, sore throat, mumps, hepatitis and incised wounds with hemorrhage(28). Hygrophilla spinosa T. commonly used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation, pain, jaundice, rheumatism, arthritis, anaemia and its leaves extract was investigated to have anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic effects(29). Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. is used as traditional herbal medicine in the Arabian Peninsula as a treatment for all hepatic conditions including hepatitis, jaundice, gallstone and other hepatic disorders. It is also used as anti-diabetic, bronchodilator, hypo-tensive and it has a local anesthetic effect (15,29). The plant extract is used in several pharmaceutical forms to limit tobacco consumption and to suppress appetite(15,29,30). Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. seeds (roasted or crushed) were applied on sores, wounds and boils as an antibacterial. The seeds are also considered to be attenuant, resolvent, diuretic, aphrodisiac and expectorant(29) in addition to charcoal from the roots is applied to the eyes to improve vision, hence the Arabic name "Kohl-el-agouz"(10,31). 9 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Reviewing the available literature concerning the chemical constituents and biological studies of family Acanthaceae, it was found that alkaloids, flavonoids, iridoids, phenylpropanoids, lignans, neo-lignans, sterols and terpenes in addition to some quaternary ammonium compounds are reported from different plants of this family.

Chromatographic Techniques: 3.1.1-Techniques for TLC(162,163): TLC was used to monitor the identity of each of the fractions and the qualitative purity of the isolated compounds. It was also utilized to optimize the solvent system that would be applied for column chromatography. 3.1.2. Vacuum Liquid Chromatography(152): Vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) is a normal phase column using silica gel as a stationary phase. It is a useful method for initial isolation procedure for large amounts of sample. 3.1.3. Column Chromatographic Technique(152): Fractions derived from VLC were screened by TLC and subjected to repeated separation by column chromatography (c.c.) using appropriate stationary phases and mobile phases. The wet method was followed in packing the column. The column was developed and eluted with the suitable solvent in the order of increasing polarities. 3.1.4. Paper Chromatographic Technique(161): Sheets of Whatmann paper No.1 were used. A horizontal line (starting line) was drawn with a pencil across the width of the sheet about 2cm from the lower edge. The solutions of the samples were applied on the starting line by a micro-pipette and left to dry spontaneously. The sheets were introduced into the developing chambers in which the chosen solvent system was placed and left for equilibrium. After development, the wet paper was carefully removed and dried. The spots Materials, Apparatus and Techniques 63 were visualized by UV light and/or by spraying with the suitable spray reagents. 3.2. Preparation of the Fatty Acids(164): About 5 gm of the n-hexane extract of the aerial parts of both plants were saponified by refluxing with 0.5 N alc. KOH for three hours on a boiling water bath. The major part of the alcohol present was distilled off and the concentrated extract was diluted with distilled water then extracted with several portions of ether till exhaustion. The alkaline aqueous solution (soap) that remained after the removal of the unsaponifiable matter was acidified with sulphuric acid (20%) and the liberated fatty acids were extracted with ether. The combined ether extract was washed several times with distilled water till the washings were free from any acidity. The ether extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give a viscous residue of the free fatty acids, which have yellowish brown colour. A part of the residue was subjected to methylation. 3.3.

The mass and 13C-NMR of compound AT-5 suggested its flavonoidal nature with an extra aromatic ring with the molecular ion peak at m/z 436 equivalent to the molecular formula C23H16O9. The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 18, Fig. 16) displayed several aromatic protons; four of them were attributed to the flavonoidal skeleton and other protons for a mono-substituted benzene moiety. Three protons at δH 8.07 (d, J = 8 Hz), 7.66 (br.s) and 7.36 (d, J = 8 Hz) for a trisubstituted benzene of ring B(161). In addition to an upfield singlet signal at δH 6.10 for one hydrogenated carbon in ring A(161), a singlet at δH 3.94 attributed to a methoxy group and a singlet for a hydroxyl group at δH 11.03 which confirm the presence of a free 7-OH group(181). The triplet signal at δH 7.17 (J = 7.6 Hz) was assigned for C-4" proton of a monosubstituted benzene and a multiplet at δH 7.27-7.33 for the other benzoyl protons. From the UV spectral studies with different ionizing and complexing reagents (Table 17), the methoxy group could be attached to C-5 which was confirmed by the absence of 5-OH at δH 12.5 in the 1HNMR and comparison with similar compounds(181).

The appearance of mass fragment at m/z 134 (57%) agree with Retro Diels Alder fragmentation pattern indicating ring B to contain two hydroxyl groups while the mass fragment at m/z 181 (15%) indicating the presence of two hydroxyls and a methoxy group in ring A. Depending on the 1H-NMR data the proton signal at δH 6.07 could be attributed to C-6 which was confirmed by δC 93.4 ppm upon comparison with similar data for a monohydrogenated ring A(182).

The UV spectral data with different ionizing and complexing reagents revealed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift in band I with NaOMe (Δλmax+50 nm) without decrease in intensity indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-4'. 2- A bathochromic shift with NaOAc in band II (Δλmax +15 nm) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-7. 3- A bathochromic shift with AlCl3 in band I (Δλmax +30 nm) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-3 which decreased upon adding HCl (Δλmax+25 nm) due to the presence of ortho dihydroxy groups in ring B and/or A. 4- The bathochromic shift with NaOAc/H3BO3 mixture in band I (Δλmax+35 nm) confirmed the ortho dihydroxy groups in ring B and A. The mass and 13 C-NMR of compound AT-6 confirmed its flavonoidal nature with molecular ion peak at m/z 332 equivalent for the molecular formula C16H12O8. The 1H-NMR (Table 20, Fig. 19) showed four signals in the aromatic region, a singlet at δH 6.61 indicating the presence of only one hydrogenated carbon in the ring A. The other three appear at δH 7.29 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, H-5'), 7.68 (br.s, H-2') and 8.05 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, H-6') for a trisubstituted benzene of the ring B as those of compound AT-5 (P.97). In addition to a three proton singlet at δH 3.91 attributed to a methoxy group 105 Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts and another singlet at δH 10.81 (s) attributed to the hydroxyl group on C7(182) which was deduced from the UV spectral shifts (NaOAc). The mass spectrum (Fig. 18) showed [M]+ at m/z 332 (20%) and other mass fragments at m/z 300 (20%) [M-OCH3]+ and at m/z 134 (50%) which complies with Retro Diels-Alder cleavage indicating ring B to contain two hydroxyl groups which was deduced from UV data and 1HNMR spectral shifts. Further EI-MS data showed another ion at m/z 181(17%) indicating the presence of two hydroxyls and a methoxy group in ring A, the two hydroxy were present as ortho-dihydroxy based on the UV shifts and the 1H-NMR signal at 6.61 which was attributed to H-8(161). From the UV spectral studies with different ionizing and complexing reagents (Table 19) the methoxy group could be attached to C-5 which was confirmed by the absence of 5-OH signal at δH 12.5 in the 1 H-NMR and comparison with similar compounds(182,186). The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 20, Fig. 20) displayed fifteen signals assigned for sixteen carbons of the flavonoidal skeleton. The upfield signal at δC 96.9 was attributed to C-8 of 6,7-dihydroxyflavone depending on comparison with similar data(184). In addition to a signal at δC 55.46 attributed to the methoxy group attached to C-5.

The UV spectrum was very similar to that of 4-quinazoline alkaloids(188). The IR spectrum indicated the presence of an –NH group at υ 3340 cm-1 and two carbonyl functions assigned to an amide and an Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts 116 aromatic carbo-methoxy group at υ 1625 and 1740 cm-1 respectively. The 13 EI-MS and C-NMR spectrum suggested the molecular formula C20H19N3O3. Inspection of the 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 23, Fig. 28) revealed the presence of pyrrolo-quinazoline system(188) with great similarity to the desoxyvasicinone(34), the appearance of seven aromatic protons indicated the presence of a second aromatic ring. Four aromatic protons of ring A appears as a downfield doublet at δH 8.10 (J= 8.8 Hz) was characteristic for C-8 proton(34) situated peri to the amide carbonyl in a 4-quinazoline moiety(34), the remaining protons appeared as multiplets at δH 7.33-7.42. The substitution pattern of the extra phenyl group (Table 23) (ring B) was deduced from the presence of an exceptionally high field position at δH 6.84 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, H-14), this was due to the shielding effect of an orthoamino group(34). The presence of a carbo-methoxy group was represented by a singlet signal at δH 3.86 (3H, s, H-17) and a carbon signal at δC 51.86 (C17) and δC 169.21 (C-16) which was further confirmed by mass fragment at m/z 317 [M-CH3OH]+ and m/z 316 [M-H-CH3OH]+. The proton at δH 8.00 (d, J = 4.8 Hz, H-11) must be situated next to the deshielding carbomethoxy group. The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 23, Fig. 29) displayed 20 carbons including one methoxy, one methyl, two methylenes, eight methines and eight quaternary. The two methyl carbon signals at δC 29.36 and 51.86 were assigned to CH3-NH at (δH 2.92, d, J = 4.8 Hz) and OCH3 at δH (3.86, s). Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.

The UV spectrum exhibited absorption bands at λmax: 315, 274 and 208 nm suggesting the presence of a quinazoline chromophore in the molecule(188). Preliminary inspection of 1H- & 13C-NMR and mass spectral data established the presence of a pyrrolo-quinazoline system(188) with an extra aromatic ring, which is proved by the presence of an extra 7 aromatic protons at δH (6.71- 8.31 ppm.). The IR spectrum indicated the presence of a hydroxyl group (3480 cm-1), NH group (3340 cm-1), two carbonyl functions assigned to an amide (1630 cm-1) and an aromatic ester carbonyl (1740 cm-1) in addition to an aromatic skeleton (1610, 1584 & 1500 cm-1). The EI-MS and NMR suggested the molecular formula C19H17N3O4. 13 C- Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts 121 The 1H-NMR spectrum in addition to 1H-1H COSY correlations (Table 24, Fig. 31, 32 &34) revealed the presence of pyrrolo-quinazoline system with great similarity to that of AT-9 (P.114) signals for a trisubstituted benzene (ring A) [δH 7.48 (dd, J = 8.0, 4.0 Hz, H-6), 7.72 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, H-7), and 7.78 (dd, J = 8.0, 4.0 Hz, H-8)], in addition to an ortho-disubstituted phenyl ring (ring B) [δH 7.95 (dd, J = 8.0, 4.0 Hz, H12), 7.41 (dt, J = 8.0, 4.0 Hz, H-14), 6.90 (br.d, H-15), and 6.71 (dt, J = 8.0, 4.0 Hz, H-13)]. The upfield shift of H-3 and C-3 compared with the corresponding chemical shifts of anisotine (P.114) are indicative of the iminosubstituted at C-3 of the quinazoline ring. The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 24, Fig. 33) displayed resonances for 19 carbons, including one methoxy and the other carbons are in full agreement with those previously reported for related compounds(32). The HMBC experiments (Table 24, Fig. 36) displayed a 3JCH coupling between H-6 and C-4a and H-8 with C-8a which could place ring A at C-4a and C-8a of ring C. Also, 1H-NMR and COSY spectra (Table 24, Figs. 31, 32 & 34) showed signals for two coupled methylene groups at δH 4.39 (m, H-1b), 4.05 (m, H-1a) and 2.92 (m, H-2a), 2.14 (m, H-2b), which further coupled with one methine proton at δH 5.02 (m, H3) to give the structural fragment -CH2-CH2-CH- and confirmed by the observed HMBC correlations (Fig. 36)(32). Its attachment to ring C was established by the observed HMBC and HSQC correlations of H-1 with C-9 and H-2 with C-3a as have been found in the other quinazoline alkaloids of the plant contain deoxy vasicinone skeleton(32), also supported by the mass spectrum which exhibited a fragment ion peak at m/z 183(32). The presence of a carbomethoxy group was supported by the singlet signal at δH 3.85 (3H, s, H-17), along with the carbon signals at δC 51.96 (C-17) and δC 169.15 (C-16). Its situation at C-11 in ring B was Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts 122 proved by the HMBC correlations of H-12 and H-17 with C-16 and further confirmed by the mass fragment peak at m/z 319 [M-CH3OH]+ due to loss of methanol (carbo-methoxy group was substituted ortho to the amino substituent of the aromatic ring(32). In addition, the signals at δH 8.30 (br.s) and 8.46 (d, J = 4.0 Hz) were attributed to 5-OH and 3-NH groups, respectively. The OH group located at C-5 in ring A based on the carbon signal at δC 158.08 (C-5) and further confirmed by the HMBC correlations of 5-OH with C-6 and C-4a, and a mass fragment at m/z 334 [M-OH]+ and an IR band at υ 3480 cm-1. The presence of the NH group at C-3 in ring D was supported by the signals at δH 5.02/δC 56.3(H-3/C-3) and confirmed by the COSY cross peak of NH with H-3 to give 5hydroxy-3-amino deoxy-vasicinone moiety. Finally, full assignment of compound AT-10 was achieved by extensive interpretation of 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data. Conclusion: The obtained spectral data of compound AT-10 was in good agreement with those previously reported for vasnetine(32) except for the presence of a hydroxyl group proved to be attached to C-5. Thus the compound is identified as 5-hydroxyvasnetine. To our knowledge it represents the first report for its identification from natural source (new compound) (185).

The 1 H-NMR spectrum (Table 25, Fig. 38) exhibited three aromatic protons indicating a trisubstituted benzene ring with ABX system at δH 6.83 (d, J = 8.6 Hz, H-5), 6.49 (s, H-2) and 7.43 (dd, J = 7.6, 2.0 Hz, H-6) while the singlet at δH 3.80 (6H) suggested the presence of two methoxy groups. The 13 C-NMR including DEPT spectra (Table 25, Figs. 39 & 40) displayed nine carbon signals including four quaternary, three methine and two methoxy groups. The downfield signal at δC 167.20 was displayed for carboxylic carbonyl and the upfield one at δC 55.51 confirmed the methoxyl function. Conclusion: By comparing the obtained data with those previously reported for similar compounds(189,190) compound AT-11 is identified as 3,4dimethoxybenzoic acid (Veratric acid), which was previously isolated from Tabebuia aurea (Silva Manso) Benth. & Hook.f. ex.

Aerial Parts 133 Discussion: The mass and 13 C-NMR spectral data of compound AT-12 suggested the presence of an aromatic acid(191) with the molecular ion peak at m/z 168 for the molecular formula C8H8O4. The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 26, Fig. 42) showed three signals in the aromatic region at δH 7.38 (br.s, H-2), 7.42 (dd, J = 8.4, 2 Hz, H-6) and 6.82 (d, J = 8.4 Hz, H-5) indicated the presence of a tri-substituted benzene ring. A singlet for three protons at δH 3.78 (3H) suggested the presence a methoxy group which is confirmed by δC at 55.53 and another singlet at δH 9.86 (1H, br.s) attributed to a hydroxyl group which is confirmed by an absorption band in the IR spectrum at υ 3485 cm-1. The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 26, Fig. 43) revealed a downfield signal at δC 167.28 attributed to a carboxy carbonyl in addition to other six aromatic carbons at δC 151.04 (C-4), 147.21 (C-3), 123.47 (C-6), 121.72 (C-1), 112.69 (C-2) and 115.01 (C-5) which are in good agreement with those for similar compounds(192,193). The mass spectral data confirmed the suggested structure by the appearance of peaks at m/z 153 [M-CH3]+ (70%), 151 [M-OH]+ (20%), 124 [M-COO]+ (27%).

The amino group could be attached to C-8 depending on comparison of the chemical shift (δH and δC) at positions 6,7 and 9 with the corresponding 1, 2 and 3 in 7-hydroxyvasicinone. The absence of the two doublets at δH 4.75, 4.63 (d, J = 15.8 Hz) attributed for C-11 methylene in AT-16 (P.150) and appearance of carbon signal at δC 160.29 suggested the oxo form of AT-17.

The positive ion mode MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum (Fig. 66) exhibited a molecular ion peak at m/z 169 [M+H]+ and 171 [M+2]+ in a ratio of 3:1 indicating a chloride salt(191). The mass and 13C-NMR spectra suggested a molecular formula C6H17N2OCl. The 1H-NMR (Table 33, Fig. 67) showed the presence of two singlets at δH 3.32 and 3.10 assigned for methyls attached to nitrogen which was confirmed by two signals in the 13C-NMR (Table 33, Fig. 68) at δC 55.55 and 53.60 consistent with methyl ammonium groups(192) in addition to two multiplets each for two protons at δH 3.81 and 3.38 assigned for two methylenes attached to nitrogen (CH2N) which are observed at δC 67.41 and 67.38 in the 13C-NMR spectrum while the broad singlet δH 5.42 which was attributed to the terminal hydroxyl group. Conclusion: Based on the previous spectroscopic data and by comparison with that reported in the literature for quaternary methyl ammonium compounds(198, 199), compound AT-18 is identified as (dimethylamino)-N(hydroxymethyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanaminium chloride. According to the available literature quaternary ammonium compounds were traced in Acanthus montanus (Nees.) T.Andres and Crossandra nilitoca Oliver (subfamily: Acanthoideae)(90). To our knowledge this represents the first report for identification of such compound from a natural source (new compound)(185).

The positive ion mode MALDI-TOF-MS spectrum (Fig. 69) exhibited a molecular ion peak at m/z 168 with [M+H]+ and [M+2]+ in a ratio of 3:1 indicating a chloride salt(191). The mass and 13C-NMR spectra suggested a molecular formula C5H13N2O2-Cl. The 1H-NMR (Table 34, Fig. 70) exhibited three singlets, one at δH 4.24 assigned for two protons of a methylene group attached to nitrogen, the other at δH 3.17 assigned for 9 protons representing three methyl groups attached to nitrogen and the third at δH 8.07 which was attributed to NH function and confirmed by IR absorption band at υ 3475 cm-1. The 13C-NMR (Table 34, Fig. 71) revealed three signals at δC 53.14, 62.90 and 166.55 with the signal at δC 53.14 about three times as intense as that at δC 62.9. The chemical shift of the signal at δC 53.14 was consistent with that of a trimethyl ammonium group(199) while that at δC 62.9 was consistent with a CH2-N group(84,199) which was confirmed from the DEPT spectra (Table 34, Fig. 72) while the signal at δC 166.55 was assigned to a free carboxylate group and confirmed by IR absorption band at υ 1615 cm-1. The HMQC correlations (Table 34, Fig. 73) confirmed the suggested structure where C-3 showed correlation with H-3 and the Nmethyls in the 1H-NMR showed correlations with their carbons in the 13 C-NMR.

In addition to three multiplets 169 Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts attributed to three methylene groups at δH 3.31, 3.77 & 4.15. The signals at δH 3.14, 4.15 and 8.10 were in full agreement with those of compound AT-19 (P.194) in addition to three signals attributed to another quaternary ammonium compound but in little ratio. The broad singlet at δH 3.02 assigned for three methyls and the two methylene singlets at δH 3.31 and 3.77 were in accordance with those previously reported for choline(90). The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 35, Fig. 75) revealed signals at δC 53.14, 62.90 and 167.67 in complete accordance with those of compound AT-19 (P.194) in addition to further carbon signals at δC 53.48, 55.48 and 67.60 assigned for choline(90) which was confirmed from the HMQC correlations. This mixture could be identified as N-[(carboxyamino)methyl]– N,N–dimethyl ethanamine and choline base in a ratio of 5:1 according to the signal intensity. Conclusion: Based on the previous spectroscopic data and by comparison with that reported in the literature(90,199), compound AT-20 is identified as a mixture of N-[(carboxyamino)methyl]–N,N–dimethyl ethanamine and Choline base. 4N 3 H N 2 1 HO COO+ N-[(carboxyamino)methyl]N,N-dimethylethanamine 2 1 N Choline base 3 Phytochemical Study of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.)

B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts Discussion: The IR spectrum of compound BC-3 showed characteristic absorption bands indicating the presence of an ester group (1720 cm-1), unsaturation (1632 cm-1) and long aliphatic chain (724 cm-1). The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 39, Fig. 83) exhibited signals for sitosteryl derivative with two double bond protons at δH 4.94 (1H, dd, J = 15.2, 8.8 Hz), 5.08 (1H, dd, J = 15.2, 8.8 Hz) and 5.30 (1H, d, J = 5.2 Hz) respectively, multiple aliphatic protons at δH 1.14-1.21 suggesting the presence of long chain aliphatic moiety. The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 39, Fig. 83) also displayed two tertiary, three secondary and one primary methyl groups characteristic for sitosteryl unit(165, 194). Two one proton doublets at δH 2.22 and 2.18 were attributed to C-2' methylene protons adjacent to an ester group(200,201). A triplet at δH 0.60 (3H, t, J = 6 Hz) was due to terminal primary methyl protons. The 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 39, Fig. 84) displayed 53 signals, 29 of them were attributed to sitosteryl moiety with vinylic carbons at δC 139.66 (C-5), 122.56 (C-6), 129.18 (C-22) and 138.34 (C-23). A carbonyl carbon at δC 73.61 (C-3), in addition to other carbon signals in full agreement with those previously reported for stigmasterol(165, 194) . The signal at δC 173.37 was assigned to an ester carbonyl which was confirmed by IR absorption band at υ 1720 cm-1, while the carbon signal at δC 12.01 was attributed to a terminal methyl group of a straight chain fatty acid ester(200, 201). 195 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts The positive FAB-MS of compound BC-3 showed molecular ion peak at m/z 763 [M+1]+ and other characteristic fragments at m/z 439, 413, 351 and 274 indicated the presence of stigmasterol units. Upon alkaline hydrolysis compound BC-3 (P.65) yielded stigmasterol which was identified by co-chromatography with authentic sample in addition to a fatty acid. The prepared fatty acid methyl ester (P.64) was identified by mass spectroscopy which gave a molecular ion peak at m/z 382, 351 [M-OCH3]+ and a series of fragment ions with the difference of m/z 28 or 14 indicated a methyl tetracosanoate moiety. Conclusion: From the above mentioned spectral data and by comparison with the previously reported data of similar compounds(200-202), compound BC3 is identified as Stigmasterol tetracosanoate. To our knowledge it is the first time for its identification from natural source (new compound)(185). 29 28 21 22 20 23 18 24 26 25 12 19 1 8 3 1' O C 27 9 10 15 7 5 4 17 16 14 2 O 13 11 6 23' (CH2)22' CH 3 Stigmasterol tetracosanoate Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

It also gave positive tests for flavonoids(155,172) and positive Molish's test(156) suggesting its glycosidic nature. It has an Rf value of 0.35 using system VII. Spectroscopic Analysis: 1- The UV spectral data in methanol of compound BF-AG showed characteristic absorption bands of a flavone at λmax 268 and 330 nm(161).

The UV spectral data in MeOH (Table 46) showed two absorption bands at λmax 330 nm (band I) and 268 nm (band II) characterized for flavones(161). The UV spectral data with different ionizing and complexing reagents showed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift with NaOMe in band I (Δλmax +52 nm) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-4'. 2- There was no shift in band II on the addition of NaOAc which revealed that C-7 lacks a hydroxyl group or blocked. 3- A bathochromic shift with AlCl3 in band I (Δλmax +42) revealed the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-5. 4- Lacking of ortho-dihydroxy group in ring B since the complex formed with AlCl3 was acid stable and this was confirmed by the absence of bathochromic shift in band I upon the addition of NaOAc/H3BO3 mixture. Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts 222 The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 47, Fig. 101) exhibited a flavone skeleton(161). It showed a pair of doublets attributed to para disubstituted benzene ring at δH 7.94 (d, J = 8.8 Hz) and 6.92 (d, J = 8.8 Hz) assigned for H-2', 6' and H-3',5' in ring B respectively(161,206). Also two doublets at δH 6.43 (1H, d, J = 2) and δH 6.82 (1H, d, J = 2) attributed to meta coupled protons at H-8 and H-6 respectively in ring A(206,209). In addition to a singlet at δH 6.86 (s) assigned for H-3(206,209) and a downfield singlet at δH 12.96 for hydroxyl at C-5. The obtained 1H-NMR data of compound BC-11 was in full agreement with those previously reported for apigenin(206,210) while the doublet at δH 5.05 (d, J = 7.2 Hz) was assigned for β-anomeric proton suggesting the presence of one β-D-glucosyl moiety(206) and the other sugar protons were detected as a multiplet at δH 5.43-3.47 the position of attachment of glucose unit to apigenin was determined on the basis of UV spectral data to be at C-7. Acid hydrolysis of compound BC-11 as mentioned before (P.64) yielded an aglycone moiety and one sugar unit. The aglycone was identified as apigenin (by co-chromatography with authentic sample of apigenin) while the sugar unit was identified as glucose (by cochromatography with authentic sample using system IX. Conclusion: From the above mentioned physical, chemical, UV and 1H-NMR spectral data in addition to acid hydrolysis, compound BC-11 is identified as apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucpyranoside which was previously isolated from Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt.(81).

B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts 226 Discussion: The UV spectral data of compound BC-12 with different ionizing and complexing reagents (Table 48) revealed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift in band I with NaOMe (λmax +52) indicating the presence of C-4' hydroxyl group. 2- Lacking of a free hydroxyl group at C-7 due to the absence of a bathochromic shift in band II upon the addition of NaOAc. 3- A bathochromic shift in band I with AlCl3 (λmax +59) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-5. 4- Absence of ortho-dihydroxy group in ring B since the complex formed with AlCl3 was acid stable and this was confirmed by the absence of bathochromic shift in band I upon the addition of NaOAc/H3BO3. The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 49, Figs. 103 & 104) and UV spectral data suggested a flavone skeleton(161) with free 4'-OH, 5-OH and substituted at C-7, which is deduced from the meta-coupled protons at δH 6.80, 6.45 (each d, J = 2.0 Hz) assignable to H-6 and H-8 of ring A. Also two doublets at δH 7.93, 6.90 (each d, J = 8.4 Hz) assignable to a para substituted benzene of ring B and singlet signal at δH 6.83 characteristic for H-3 of flavones(161). The proton and carbon signals of the flavonoid skeleton were in full agreement with those previously reported for apigenin(161). The 13C-NMR spectrum (Table 49, Fig. 105) displayed 26 signals, thirteen of them were assignable for apigenin(184), seven for p-coumaroyl moiety with an ester carbonyl at δC 166.53 in addition to sugar carbons. 227 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts The 1H- and 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 49, Figs. 103-105) also displayed characteristic pattern of trans p-coumaroyl moiety. In addition to β-D-glucopyranoside moiety with δH1'' at 5.15 (d, J = 7.2 Hz), the position of glycosilation at C-7 was deduced from the UV spectral data. The position of the linkage of the p-coumaroyl moiety to C-6'' of glucose was deduced by comparing the chemical shifts of δH and δC with similar previously published data(46,209). The positive ion FAB-MS (Fig. 102) showed [M+H]+ at m/z 579 with three significant fragment peaks at m/z 417 [M-(p - coumaroyl unit) +H]+ confirming the p-coumaroyl unit and at m/z 271 [M-(p-coumaroyl unit + hexose unit) + H]+ confirming that BC-12 is apigenin p-coumaroyl glucoside. Upon acid hydrolysis of BC-12 (P.64) apigenin was confirmed by co-TLC alongside with authentic samples and the sugar was identified as glucose by paper chromatography using system IX. Conclusion: On the basis of the previous mentioned spectral data and comparison with literature(46,81,209), compound BC-12 is identified as apigenin-7-O-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside).

B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts 232 Discussion: The UV spectral data of compound BC-13 (Table 50) with different ionizing and complexing reagents revealed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift in band I with NaOMe (λmax +37) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl at C-4'. 2- Lacking of a free hydroxyl group at C-7 due to the absence of a bathochromic shift in band II upon the addition of NaOAc. 3- A bathochromic shift in band I with AlCl3 (λmax +55 nm) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-5. 4- Absence of ortho-dihydroxy group in ring B since the complex formed with AlCl3 was acid stable and this was confirmed by the absence of bathochromic shift in band I upon the addition of NaOAc/H3BO3. The 1H-NMR spectrum (Table 51, Fig. 107) showed two singlet signals at δH 12.92 and 8.43 were assigned to 5-chelated hydroxyl group and H-2 of an isoflavone(161). The proton signals at δH 7.33 (d, J = 8.8 Hz) and 6.67 (d, J = 8.8 Hz) indicated the presence of a para-disubstituted benzene moiety (ring B) they were attributed to H-2', 6' and 3', 5' respectively as well as other protons resonated at δH 6.55 and 6.45 (each 1H, br.s) were assigned to H-8 and H-6 respectively(211,212). The 1H-NMR spectrum also displayed an ABX system for a 1,3,4- trisubstituted aromatic ring at δH [6.81 (1H, d, J = 3.2 Hz), 7.91 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz), 6.93 (1H, dd, J = 8.0, 3.2 Hz)] and two trans-olefinic protons at δH [7.47 (1H, d, J = 15.6 Hz), 6.30 (1H, d, J = 15.6 Hz)], suggesting the presence of a caffeoyl moiety(213-215). Furthermore, anomeric proton for sugar moiety at δH 5.15 (1H, d, J = 8.0 Hz) indicated β-glucopyranose unit(209). Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts The 233 13 C-NMR (Table 51, Fig. 108) displayed 28 signals, 13 for flavonoid moiety with an downfield signal at δC 181.88 assigned for C-4 which confirmed the presence of iso-flavone nucleus(216) and the other carbons of flavonoidal moiety agree with those previously reported for genisetin(216). In addition to six signals for glucose moiety with an anomeric carbon at δC 102.77. Also it displayed eight carbons for the caffeoyl moiety(213-215) and an ester carbonyl at δC 166.63. The positive ion FAB-MS spectrum (Fig. 108) showed [M+H]+ at m/z 595 with two significant fragment peaks at m/z 433 [M-(caffeoyl unit) + H]+ confirming the presence of caffeoyl ester and at m/z 271 [M-(caffeoyl unit+ hexose unit) + H]+ indicating that BC-13 is a flavonoidal caffeoyl glucoside. Upon acid hydrolysis of compound BC-13 (P.64) genistein and caffeic acid were confirmed by co-TLC alongside with authentic samples, and β-D-glucose was authenticated using paper chromatography and system IX. On the basis of the above results, it was assumed that BC-13 contained caffeoyl glucose linked at the 7-hydroxyl group of genistein which was confirmed by UV spectral data with NaOAc. The significant downfield shift of C-6'' of glucose (δC 63.44) indicated the attachment of caffeoyl moiety at C-6'' of glucose(81). Conclusion: On the basis of the previous mentioned data, compound BC-13 is identified as Genistein-7-O-(6''-O-E-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside which could be considered as a new natural product (new compound)(185). 234 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

Aerial Parts 238 Discussion: The UV spectral data of compound BC-14 (Table 52) with different ionizing and complexing reagents revealed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift in band I with NaOMe (λmax +41) indicating the presence of C-4' hydroxyl group. 2- Lacking of a free hydroxyl group at C-7 due to the absence of a bathochromic shift in band II upon the addition of NaOAc. 3- A bathochromic shift in band I with AlCl3 (λmax +66) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-5. 4- Absence of ortho-dihydroxy group in ring B since the complex formed with AlCl3 was acid stable and this was confirmed by the absence of bathochromic shift in band I upon the addition of NaOAc/H3BO3. The 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra of BC-14 (Table 53, Figs. 110-113) revealed a flavanone skeleton(161) with two meta coupled protons at δH 6.15, 6.19 (d, J = 2.4 Hz) assignable to H-6 and H-8 of ring A. Also two doublet signals attributed to para di-substituted benzene at δH 7.27, 6.77 (d, J = 8.4 Hz) for ring B(161), which was further confirmed from UV spectral shift in band I with NaOMe. The compound was further confirmed to be a flavanone by the appearance of diagnostic signals at δH 5.45, 3.44 and 2.70 attributed to C2 and C-3 protons of a flavanone skeleton (161) and carbon signals at δC 78.68 and 42.0(181). The proton signal at δH 12.08 belonging to 5hydroxylation shown unsubstituted 5-position. Also a singlet assignable to a methyl group at δH 2.04 and δC 21.14 was observed. The 1H-NMR spectrum also displayed further aromatic protons at δH 6.77, 7.50 as (d, J Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts 239 = 8.4 Hz) for para disubstituted benzene and at δH 6.36, 7.51 (d, J = 16.0 Hz), δC 113.86 and 145.07 respectively which were assignable to trans pcoumaroyl moiety(81). In addition to a doublet at δH 5.25 (J = 8.0 Hz) for H-1 β-linked glucose unit, the remaining sugar protons are observed at δH 3.46-5.71 which were further confirmed by carbon signals at δC 98.7562.82. The glucose moiety was linked to C-7 of the flavanone, which was easily deduced from the UV spectral shifts after addition of NaOAc(161). The point of attachment of p-coumaroyl moiety to glucose was deduced to be at H-6" depending on comparison of the chemical shifts of the corresponding protons and carbons with those previously reported for similar compounds(81). The 13 C- and DEPT 13 C-NMR spectrum (Table 53, Figs. 112 & 113) displayed 28 signals, thirteen of them were in full agreement with those previously reported for naringenin(181), seven carbon signals with the same chemical shifts for p-trans coumaroyl moiety(81) with an ester carbonyl at δC 166.40. The carbonyl signals at δC 21.14, 169.75 were in accordance with acetyl substitution in the glucose unit(46). The linkage of the acetyl group to glucose was deduced to be at H-3'' depending on the chemical shift of H-3'' δH 4.91 (t, J = 9.2 Hz) and δC 77.05 in comparison with literature(81). The positive ion FAB-MS (Fig. 109) showed [M+H]+ at m/z 623 with three significant fragment peaks at m/z 580 [M-(CH3CO+H]+ confirming the presence of an acetate group, at m/z 415 [M-(CH3CO + pcoumaroyl unit)+H]+ confirming the p-coumaroyl unit and at m/z 273 [M-(CH3CO + p-coumaroyl unit + hexose unit) + H]+ indicating that BC14 is a flavonoidal p-coumaroyl glucoside. 240 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

Aerial Parts Conclusion: On the basis of the previous mentioned spectral data and comparison with literature(46,81), compound BC-14 is identified as naringenin-7-O-(3''-acetyl-6''-E-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside which was previously isolated from Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

Aerial Parts 245 Discussion: The UV spectral data of compound BC-15 with different ionizing and complexing reagents (Table 54) revealed the following: 1- A bathochromic shift in band I with NaOMe (λmax +46) indicating the presence of 4'- hydroxyl groups. 2- Lacking of a free hydroxyl group at C-7 due to the absence of a bathochromic shift in band II upon the addition of NaOAc. 3- A bathochromic shift in band I with AlCl3 (λmax +68) indicating the presence of a free hydroxyl group at C-5. 4- Absence of ortho-dihydroxy group in ring B since the complex formed with AlCl3 was acid stable and this was confirmed by the absence of bathochromic shift in band I upon the addition of NaOAc/H3BO3. The 1H- and 13 C-NMR spectrum of BC-15 (Table 55, Figs. 115- 117) revealed a flavanone skeleton with β-D glucopyranose unit and a pcoumaroyl moiety showing many similarities with those corresponding spectrums of compound BC-14 (P.236). However the change in the chemical shift of δ H-3", δ C-2", C-3" and C-4" of the β-D glucopyranose unit indicated the absence of the acetyl moiety at C-3" which was further confirmed by the absence of the corresponding signals at δH 2.04 and δC 21.14 and 169.75 of BC-14. The positive ion FAB-MS of BC-15 (Fig. 114) m/z 581 in comparison with the positive ion FAB-MS of BC-14 at m/z 623 also proved the absence of the acetyl group and the appearance of the mass fragment at m/z 273, 163 and 147 for the naringenin, glucose and p- 246 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts coumaroyl fragments confirmed that compound BC-15 is completely similar to BC-14 with the absence of the C-3" acetyl group. Conclusion: On the basis of the previous mentioned spectral data, and comparison with those for BC-14 (P.236), compound BC-15 is identified as naringenin-7-O-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside which was previously isolated from Blepharis sindica T.Anderson(82) seeds.To our knowledge this represents the first report for its identification from Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts 251 Discussion: The mass and 13 C-NMR spectral data of compound BC-16 gave molecular ion peak at m/z 625 calculated for the molecular formula C29H36O15. The 1H-NMR, 13 C- and DEPT 13 C-NMR spectra (Table 56, Figs. 119-121) revealed the presence of aromatic protons of two ABC systems at δH 6.43-7.04 and δC 114.7-148.5, trans olefinic protons at δH 6.19, 7.44 (d, J = 16.4 Hz), δC 145.04, 113.61 attached to one of the trisubstituted benzene rings along with an ester carbonyl at δC 165.77 confirmed by IR band at υ 1705 cm-1 indicating the presence of trans caffeoyl moiety(217,218). In addition to two methylene groups typical of phenethyl alcohol(217) at δH 2.67 (2H, t, J = 7.6 Hz), 3.86 (1H, dd, J = 16.4, 6.8 Hz), 4.15 (1H, dd, J = 16.4, 6.8 Hz), δC 35.06 and 70.25 respectively. While the sugar protons revealed the presence of β-glucopyranosyl and αrhamnopyranosyl moieties with chemical shift values at δH 4.33 (1H, d, J = 8.4 Hz), δC 102.32 and δH 5.01 (1H, br.s), δC 101.29 in addition to and secondry methyl at δH 0.93 (3H, d, J = 5.6 Hz), δC 18.21 indicating its diglucosidic nature. The attachment of rhamnose unit to C-3'' of glucose was indicated from the downfield shift of this carbon at δC 79.14 and the location of the caffeoyl moiety at C-4'' of glucose was established by comparison with the reported data of acteoside(219--221) while the linkage of glucose unit at the methylene group (C-8) of the phenethyl alcohol moiety was proved from the chemical shift values of this carbon at δC 70.25(219--221). The positive ion FAB-MS of compound BC-16 (Fig. 118) showed a molecular ion peak at m/z 625 [M+H]+ and other characteristic 252 Phytochemical Study of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L. Burtt. Aerial Parts fragments at m/z 461 [M-(caffeoyl)+H]+, 305 [M-(caffeoyl unit + hexose unit)+H]+ and 163 [caffeoyl]+ which confirmed the glucose caffeoyl nature of the compound. Conclusion: From the above mentioned spectral data and by comparison with similar compounds in literature(218-221), compound BC-16 is identified as 3,4-dihydroxy-phenethyl alcohol 8-O-[(4'-O-caffeoyl)-α-L- rhamnopyranosyl-(1''→3')]-β-D-glucopyranoside (acteoside).

Nees. and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. 1- Antioxidant Activity: Recent developments in biomedical science have shown that free radicals are involved in many diseases. They attack the unsaturated fatty acids in the biomembrane resulting in membrane lipid per-oxidation, which is strongly connected to aging, carcinogenesis and atherosclerosis. Free radicals also attack the DNA and cause mutation leading to cancer. Therefore, it is important to look for new radical scavengers. Antioxidant compounds play an important role as a health protecting factor. Antioxidant compounds like phenolic acids, polyphenols, phenylpropanoids and flavonoids scavenge free radicals and thus inhibit the oxidative mechanisms that lead to degenerative diseases. Various antioxidant activity methods have been used to monitor and compare the antioxidant activity of different extracts and compounds. One of which is the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method. It is a rapid, simple and inexpensive method to measure the antioxidant activity. Antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH method(222). The stable organic radical DPPH has been widely used in the assessment of antioxidant activity studies of single compounds, plant extracts and foods. Because of its odd electron, DPPH• gives a strong absorption band at 517 nm in visible spectrometry (deep violet colour). The method is based on the reduction of the alcoholic DPPH• solutions at 517 nm in the presence of a hydrogen donating antioxidant Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.) Nees.& Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts 256 (AH) due to the formation of the non radical form DPPH-H by the reaction: DPPH• + AH DPPH-H + A• As this electron becomes paired off in the presence of a free radical scavenger, the absorption vanishes and the decrease in the DPPH absorption at 517 nm was measured 10 min. later. The actual decrease in absorption induced by the test compound was calculated by subtracting that of the control. The method is rapid, a sample analysis takes 15 min. in total and little manpower, no expensive reagents or sophisticated instruments are required. The antioxidant activity was quantified by the decrease in absorption of each of the isolated compounds or soluble fraction in 118x10-5 % DPPH solution (final concentration of the sample in the cuvette was 20 µM for pure compounds while 0.25, 0.5 and 1mg/ml for soluble fractions) monitored at 517 nm using a spectrophotometer. The absorbance of DPPH in ethanol (with or without compounds) was measured after 2 min. the antioxidant capacity was measured in relation to quercetin (as a reference antioxidant) set as 100% antioxidant activity. Determinations were performed in triplicates. The antioxidant activity was calculated using the following equation: A 0 of the blank − A 0 with compound A 0 of the blank X 100 % Antioxidant activity = where ; A° = Absorbance The obtained results are listed in Table (57) and illustrated in Figs (122 & 123).

Conclusion: The obtained results (Table 57, Fig. 122) proved that the total methanolic and the ethyl acetate extracts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. showed the highest antioxidant activity 75% and 68% at 1 mg concentration while Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. also exhibited high antioxidant activity 89% and 86% at 1 mg concentration respectively for the same extracts. The obtained results could be attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds (flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and phenolic acids). While the glucopyranoside, and pure compounds apigenin, apigenin-7-O-β-D- genistein-7-O-(6''-O-E-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside naringenin-7-O-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside showed moderate activity, which was in agreement with the conclusion that the hydroxylation pattern of the flavonoidal compounds is highly effective against free radicals(223).

Aerial Parts 259 2- Acute Toxicity Study(224): a- Animals: Male albino rats each (120-150 gm), were bred and housed under standardized environmental conditions. The animals were fed with standard diet and free access to water. They were kept at 24-28°C temperature, 60-70% relative humidity, 12 hrs day and night cycle for one week to acclimatize to the environmental conditions. b- Method: The previously prepared total methanolic extract (P.58) of both plants: Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. was dissolved in 2% tween-80 and administrered orally at increasing doses (1, 2, 4 and 8 gm/kg). The animals were remained for 48 hrs under observation for any signs and symptoms of toxicity(224). c- Results and Conclusion: The symptoms of toxicity were characterized by irritability, writhing, hypothermia, loss of motor coordination, sedation and deep sleep, followed by death. The total methanolic extract of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. didn't show any signs of toxicity and mortality up to 5gm/kg dose while Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. didn't show any signs of toxicity and mortality up to 4 gm/kg. Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.) Nees.& Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts 260 3- Brine-Shrimp Assay (Cytotoxic Activity) (225,226): This technique is an in vivo lethality test involving the whole body of a tiny crustacean, the brine shrimp (Artemia salina Leach.). This test takes into account the basic premise that pharmacology is simply toxicology at a lower dose, and that toxic substances might indeed elicit, at a lower non-toxic dose, interesting pharmacological effects. The procedure determines LC50 values in µg/ml of active fractions in the brine medium. a- Sample Preparation: The test samples previously prepared (P.58) were dissolved in DMSO and the appropriate amount was transferred to a 10 ml sample vial and then serially diluted in artificial sea water to the desired concentration. Bioassay was done on 0.5 mg of the different fractions of the total alcoholic extract and the different extracts of the aerial parts of both plants: Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. and Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. were performed in triplicates. The samples were then dried and reconstituted with 20 µl DMSO. Control vials containing the same amount of DMSO were also prepared. b- Technique: As much as 33 gm salt mixture (Biomarine, Erkrath, Germany) was dissolved in 1000 ml distilled water, thoroughly mixed with the help of magnetic stirrer. A small amount of the dried brine shrimp eggs (Dohse, Bonn, Germany) were hatched in a small tank filled with 1000 ml artificial sea water. After 48 hours, the eggs would hatch. Twenty nauplii were taken from the hatching tank, and transferred into each test vial (test substance + artificial sea water + DMSO). After the transfer of 20 nauplii, artificial sea water was then added to make the Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.) Nees.& Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts 261 final volume 5ml.The experimental vials were left overnight, under illumination, in normal room temperature. After 24 and 48 hours, survivors and dead brine shrimp were counted under microscope and recorded. The more the death of brine shrimp the more toxic is the test substance. The test substance resulting in 50% death of the brine shrimp was considered bioactive. Determination was performed and the toxic activity was calculated using the following equation: % Mortality = Control — test Control x 100 The obtained results are listed in Tables (58) and (59).

Aerial Parts 262 The obtained results showed that the total methanolic extract and the chloroformic extract of the dried aerial parts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forrsk.) Nees. had a strong activity in the brine shrimp bioassay 61% and 60% after 24 hrs while the methanolic, chloroformic and ethyl acetate showed 70%, 96% and 68% after 48 hrs respectively which may be attributed to their alkaloidal, steroidal and/or triterpenoidal content while on the other hand the n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts had mild activity. While the different extracts of the dried aerial parts of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. showed poor to mild activity after 24 and 48 hrs respectively. 4- Anti-Inflammatory Activity(227,228): Carageenin-induced rat hind paw oedema model described by Winter et al.(229-230). This method of testing anti-inflammatory activity depends on measuring the inhibition of oedema produced acutely by injection of an irritant (phlogistic agent) into the tissues of the plantar surface of the hind paw of the rat. In this test, sixty albino rats were divided into six groups of six animals each. The first group was kept as negative control, injected intraperitoneally by 2% tween 80 in normal saline (mixture solvent) while the other group was injected by indomethacin (reference group) at a dose of 8 mg/kg and kept as a reference for both studied plants. The other groups were intraperitoneally injected with the different extracts of the aerial parts both plants: Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight. One hour later Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.) Nees.& Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts 263 foot paw oedema was induced by injecting 0.1 ml of 1% carrageenin subcutaneously into the sub-planter portion of the right hind paw of each rat while the left one was injected by an equal volume of saline solution. The difference between the thickness of the paws was taken as a measure of paw oedema. The paws thicknesses were measured in mm using Vernier Caliper. The anti-inflammatory efficacy of the tested extracts was estimated by comparing the magnitude of paw swelling in the pretreated animals with those induced in control animals receiving the vehicle only. The measurements were carried out immediately after injection of the phlogistic agent (0 hr.) and at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hrs after the injection of carrageenin. The % protection of oedema was calculated according to the formula: % inhibition of inflammation = 100 X (1- Pt /PC) where Pt is the increase in paw thickness of the treated and PC is that of the control. The results of the measurements of percentage of anti-inflammatory activity are listed in Tables (60 & 61). Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.) Nees.& Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt.

Aerial Parts 265 edema was observed due to their high content of sterols and their corresponding glucosides, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. 5- Anti-Malarial Assay: a- Preparation of the Tested Samples and the Parasite Used: The different extracts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.Burtt. were tested for in vitro anti malarial activity against the chloroquine sensitive (D6, Sierraleon) Plasmodium falciparum; using the parasite lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) assay using Malstat reagent(231,232). The previously prepared different extracts (P.58) of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. were dissolved in DMSO at concentrations of 50 mg/ml sonicated for 10 min. and then diluted in malaria culture medium to prepare 2mg/ml solution. The appropriate dilutions were added to the cultures of P.falciparum set up in clear flat bottomed 96 well micro-liter plates. b- Technique: The parasites were maintained in continuous culture on human erythrocytes in RPMI-1640 medium. The plates were placed into a humidified chamber and flushed with a gas mixture of (90% N2, 5% CO2 and 5% O2). Medium RBCs controls were also set up in each plate.The cultures were incubated at 37°C for 48 hrs. Growth of the parasite in each well was determined spectrophotometrically at 650 nm by measuring the activity of the pLDH in control and drug treated cultures using a microplate reader. The standard anti-malarial agent, chloroquine was used as the positive control while DMSO was used as the negative one. The Biological Studies of Anisotes trisuclus (Forssk.)

Aerial Parts 267 6- Anti-Hyperglycaemic Activity(233): Technique: 1- Overnight fasting adult male albino mice ( 20-25 gm each), (18 hrs) received different doses of glucose (from 1 to 5 gm/kg) orally using a stomach tube and grouped in groups six mice each, blood samples were collected at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes. The dose at which the animals became hyperglycaemic was determined to be 2.25 gm/kg by trial and error. Increasing the glucose load above this dose didn't change the glucose tolerance curve. 2- Specific weight of the different dried extracts (4 gm) were dissolved in distilled water by the aid of 1% tween 80 and the volume was completed to 100 ml with distilled water. Effect on Blood Glucose Level when the Extracts were Fed Simultaneously with Glucose Load: Overnight fasting mice (18 hrs) received the different extracts solutions (400 mg/Kg) of the investigated plants with glucose load (2.25 gm/kg) orally using a stomach tube at 0 min., blood samples were withdrawn from the cavernous sinus at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes and the blood glucose level in mg/dl was determined using GlucostarGlucostix device.

B.L.Burtt. and its fractions when given concurrently with glucose load showed a non-significant anti-hypergycaemic activity. 270 GENERAL SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION Phytochemical and Biological Studies of Some Plants Belonging to Family Acanthaceae Family Acanthaceae is considered as one of the richest families with medicinal plants. It includes about 346 genera and around 4300 species. The plants under investigation are Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. & Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. both belonging to family Acanthacaea. Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.: A stiffy erect shrub with a height of 1-3.5 m. It is endogenous to Yemen and widely distributed in the Southern mountainous regions of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia particularly in the Wadi Jabal Abu Hassan between Abha and Najran. The main stem of the plant is erect, cylindrical, monopodially branched carrying numerous branches showing more or less long internodes. The young stem is purplish-green in colour, while the old one has rough surface covered with brownish cork. The branches bear opposite and decussate leaves at the nodes. Flowers are shortly pedunculate, 2-flowered axillary clusters. Fruit capsule, 4 seeded. Seeds are rough. Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.: A perennial, greyish-pubescent to glabrescent ascending, prickly herb branched from the base, reaching up to 30 cm in height, distributed in East Tropical Africa, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The leaves appearing in whorls of 4-outer pairs in each whorl often smaller, they are oblong to lanceolate, coriacious lamina with silvery appearance and long petiole, margins are entire to remotely spinulose, puberulous above, with spine tipped apex. Inflorescence is a dense, strobilate spike with purplish-blue flowers, bracteoles are linear-subulate General Summary and Conclusion 271 villose. Fruit is a capsule, ovate to compressed shining brown and glabrous with two flat seeds. Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. is used as traditional herbal medicine in the Arabian Peninsula as a treatment for all hepatic conditions including hepatitis, jaundice, gallstone and other hepatic disorders. It is also used as anti-diabetic, bronchodilator, hypo-tensive and it has a local anesthetic effect. The plant extract is used in several pharmaceutical forms to limit tobacco consumption and to suppress appetite. Blepharis ciliaris (L.)

Nees. Aerial Parts Chapter I Preliminary Phytochemical Screening of the Air Dried Powdered Aerial Parts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. The dried aerial parts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. contains volatile substances, carbohydrates and/or glycosides, unsaturated sterols and/or triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids, lactones and/or esters in addition to alkaloids and/or basic nitrogenous substances. Chapter II Extraction, Fractionation and Isolation of the Constituents from Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts The air-dried powdered aerial parts (2.5 kg) of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees.were extracted by maceration and percolation with (70%) methanol till complete exhaustion [four times each 10 L, overnight]. The combined methanolic extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure till constant weight to give a dark green syrupy residue (300 gm). The methanolic extract (300 gm) was digested in the least amount of distilled water subjected to successive solvent fractionation using a separating funnel with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl-acetate, n-butanol. Each extractive was concentrated separately under reduced pressure to give 45, 35, 18 and 8 gm respectively. The lipoidal content of the n-hexane fraction was investigated. 274 General Summary and Conclusion The obtained different extractives were subjected to different chromatographic techniques for separations of their constituents where 20 compounds were isolated. Chapter III Identification of the Isolated Compounds from Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. Aerial Parts Structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was deduced on the basis of spectroscopic methods: (UV, IR, 1H-NMR,1H-1H COSY, NMR, DEPT 13 C- 13 C-NMR, HSQC, HMQC, EI-,+FAB- and MALDI-TOF- MS) in addition to comparison of the physical, chemical and chromatographic characters of these compounds with the available authentic samples.

B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts Chapter I Preliminary Phytochemical Screening of the Powdered Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.aerial parts The dried aerial parts of Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. contain volatile substances, carbohydrates and/or glycosides, unsaturated sterols and/or triterpenes, tannins, flavonoids in addition to lactones and/or esters. Chapter II Extraction, Fractionation and Isolation of the Constituents from Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.aerial parts The air-dried powdered aerial parts (3 kg) of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.were extracted by maceration and percolation with methanol till complete exhaustion [four times each 10 ml, overnight]. The combined methanolic extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure till constant weight to give a dark green syrupy residue (270 gm). The methanolic extract (270 gm) was digested in the least amount of distilled water subjected to successive solvent fractionation using a separating funnel with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl-acetate, n-butanol. Each extractive was concentrated separately under reduced pressure to give 50, 37, 45 and 12 gm respectively. The lipoidal content of the n-hexane fraction was investigated. The obtained different extractive were subjected to different chromatographic techniques for separations of their constituents where 16 compounds were isolated. 281 General Summary and Conclusion Chapter III Identification of the Isolated Compounds from Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts Structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was deduced on the basis of spectroscopic methods: (UV, IR, 1H-NMR,13C-NMR, DEPT 13CNMR, EI- and +FAB- MS) in addition to comparison of the physical, chemical and chromatographic characters of these compounds with available authentic samples. A list of the identified compounds are listed in Table (67). Table (67): List of the isolated compounds from Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.aerial parts.

Nees. and Blepharis ciliaris (L.)B.L.Burtt. Aerial Parts 1- Antioxidant Activity: The total methanolic and the ethyl acetate extracts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. showed the highest antioxidant activity 75% and 68% at 1 mg concentration while Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. also exhibited high antioxidant activity 89% and 86% at 1 mg concentration respectively for the same extracts. The obtained results could be attributed to the presence of phenolic compounds (flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and phenolic acids). While the glucopyranoside, and pure compounds apigenin, apigenin-7-O-β-D- genistein-7-O-(6''-O-E-caffeoyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside naringenin-7-O-(6''-E-p-coumaroyl-β-D-glucopyranoside showed moderate activity, which was in agreement with the conclusion that the hydroxylation pattern of the flavonoidal compounds is highly effective against free radicals. 2- Acute Toxicity Study: The total methanolic extract of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. didn't show any signs of toxicity and mortality up to 5 gm/kg while that of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. didn't show any signs of toxicity and mortality up to 4 gm/kg. 3- Brine-Shrimp Assay (Cytotoxic Activity): The activity of the total methanolic extract and the chloroformic extract of the dried aerial parts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forrsk.) Nees. was General Summary and Conclusion 287 strong in the brine shrimp bioassay 61% and 60% after 24 hrs while the methanolic, chloroformic and ethyl acetate showed 70%, 96% and 68% after 48 hrs respectively which may be attributed to their alkaloidal, steroidal and/or triterpenoidal content while on the other hand the nhexane extract had mild activity. While the different extracts of the dried aerial parts of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. showed poor to mild activity after 24 and 48 hrs respectively. 4- Anti-Inflammatory Activity: It was observed that all the tested extracts showed antiinflammatory activity in carageenin-induced rat hind paw oedema model when the animals were pretreated with the different extracts of the aerial parts of both plants (Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. and Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt.) where the total methanol, n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts showed significant anti-inflammatory effect, where marked reduction of the paw edema was observed due to their high content of sterols and their corresponding glucosides, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. 5- Anti-Malarial Activity: The methanolic, n-hexane and chloroform extracts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. dried aerial parts showed mild anti-malarial activity against the tested Plasmodium falciparum (D6 clone) relative to chloroquine. While the ethyl acetae and the total methanolic extract of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. dried aerial parts showed mild to weak anti-malarial activity against the tested P.falciparum (D6 clone) relative to chloroquine. General Summary and Conclusion 288 6- Anti-Hyperglycaemic Activity: It was observed that the total methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. and its n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts when given concurrently with the glucose load at a dose of 400 mg/Kg a significant hypoglycaemic effect was obtained after 1 hr and this continued for 2 hrs while the chloroform and the n-butanol extracts showed the least activity. The obtained results support the use of powdered Anisotes trisulcus (Forssk.) Nees. as an anti-diabetic in folk medicine. Concerning the methanolic extract of the dried aerial parts of Blepharis ciliaris (L.) B.L.Burtt. and its fractions when given concurrently with glucose load showed a non-significant anti-hyperglycaemic activity. 288 References REFERENCES 1-WHO General Guidelines for methodologies on research and evaluation of Traditional Medicine: World Health organization; (2001). 2- Wasshausen, D.C.;"Acanthus: Family Acanthaceae", Chapter 5, 6, P.112-114 In: Krupnick, G.A. and Kress (eds), W.J.
