ABSTRACT:

Momordica charantia  is a well known plant in Asia including India which posses wide range of pharmacological activities. The plant have been used as drug in India as folk remedy in the form of decoctions and infusions to treat the deficiency disease such as anti-hyperglycemic activity.

 

The entitled work is entirely depends on the investigation of chemical compounds which are responsible for anti-hyperglycemic activity. The research avenue made over here get succeeded by endorse new moiety from the roots of the plant belonging to the group of alkaloids, amino acids and glycosides this are coded as McReX-1 McReX-2, McReX-3, McReX-4, McReX-5, McReX-6, the present article will gives only chemical names and spectral interpretation, among above all moiety McReX-5 have been shown a resemble anti-hyperglycemic activity when compared with glibencalimide in STZ induced diabetic rat model  

 

KEYWORDS: Momordica charantia, Linn, Cucurbitaceae, antidiabetic, alkaloids, glibencalamide.

 


INTRODUCTION:

Momordica Charantia, Linn belonging to the family Cucurbitaceae. It is called as bitter guard in English , it has been recognized in different systems of traditional medication for the treatment of different diseases and ailments of human beings such as Hypoglycemic activity anti-cancer etc.

 

METHODOLOGY:

Collection of plant material:

Roots were collected during the month of April 2009 from village Nalwar of Gulbarga District (Karnataka) and was identified and authenticated by Department of  Botany, Gulbarga University Gulbarga, a voucher (#172) of specimen was submitted to NGSMIPS, Derlakatte.

 

Methods extraction

The dried stem bark was powdered (1 1/2 kg) and subjected to soxhlet extraction with increasing polarity of the solvent i.e pet. ether, chloroform, methanol and water. The residues obtained from different solvents were kept in desiccators and the phytochemical investigation was carried out with the extracts obtained from all the solvent.

 

Quantity of residues obtained from each solvent

1.       Pet. Ether      6g

2.       Chloroform 12  g ( alkaloids +ve)

3.       Methanol       20g ( Flavanoids +ve)

 

Isolation of  Momordica charantia Linn roots

The  methanolic extract  (25 g) was triturated in mortar with 10ml methanol adsorbed onto silica gel (20 g). After evaporation of the solvent it was loaded onto a silica gel column (150 g) prepared in petroleum ether (60-80˚C). The column was eluted first with petroleum ether (60-80˚C), petroleum ether (60-80˚C): benzene graded mixtures (95:5, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50, 60:40,70:30, 80:20, 90:10,100% v/v), then with benzene followed by graded mixtures of benzene: chloroform (95:5, 90:10, 80:20 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50, 60:40,70:30, 80:20, 90:10, 100% v/v), chloroform and finally chloroform: methanol   (95:5, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and (50:50) 60:40,70:30, 80:20, 90:10,100% v/v. The elutions were monitored by TLC (Silica gel-G; visualization by Vanillin - Sulphuric acid reagent heated at 110ºC). The results were given in the

 

SPECTRAL CHARACTERIZATION

The limitation of the project not reviling the structure coz this are all new molecules and isolated first time, moreover here this are having anti-HIV anti hyperglycemic and highly potent anticancer activity, the another glimpse of the research finding is that we developed the Retro-synthetic methodology on the McReX-1 moiety, which is our spectacular evidence of proof is that the plant is having anti-cancer anti-HIV activity.

Spectrophotometric analysis of molecule by HRESI- High-resolution negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry measured and calculated for  C38H53NO9  [M _ H]- m/z 667 (5 %) molecular ion peak and fragmentation peak at m/z 634 (3%) due to release of –C2H6-+, m/z 559 (2%) due to release of –C6H5O-+,m/z 517 (30%) due to release of –C3H4 ,m/z 402 (18%) due to release of –C8H18O+,m/z 326 (100%)  intensity gives  base peak due to flavonoides structure (C15H18O8-) .further  release  and ionization of C15H18O8- gives on reduction of -H2O gives fragmented peak on  m/z 311 (36%)  and due to release of –C2H4O2, m/z 255 (10%). The evidence of presence of C peaks supportive with C13 NMR  which are interpreted by comparing the results of IR,NMR, and Mass, it was further proved with the  TLC analysis which gave a single spot in solvent system of EtOAc:methanol 7:3 the Rf-0.25 , Quantity of the molecule after analysis is 4g, mp is 3290C. The earmark excellencies of above scientific evidence laurels that it is chemically  designated [6-(17-(4,6-dihydroxy-5-methoxy-2-(methylperoxy)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ylox y)-1,12-dimethoxy-4,5,8,10,12,13,14,17-octahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yloxy)-2-(methylperoxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol] as respective code is CaReX-6, commonly it is a derivatives of triterpenoids, it gave positive test for phenanthren alcohol.

 

PHARMACOLOGICAL SCREENING:

Induction of diabetes

The animals were starved overnight and then diabetes was induced by a single intravenous injection of a freshly prepared streptozotocin (STZ) solution (50 mg/kg body wt). Streptozotocin was dissolved in 0.1 m freshly prepared citrate buffer solution (pH 4.5). The animals were allowed to drink 5% glucose solution overnight. After 5 days, streptozotocin administration, rats showed diabetes. Control rats were injected with citrate buffer alone. The McReX-5 in aqueous solution was administered orally through gastric catheter at a concentration of 3 mg/kg body weight/rat, once a day for 7 days.

 

Experimental design

The animals were divided into four groups for the analysis of biochemical parameter.

Each group has 6 animals.

Group I                                 : Normal control rats.

Group II               : Diabetic control rats.

Group III              : Diabetic rats treated with McReX-4, 3 mg/kg body wt orally.

Group IV              : Diabetic treated with standard drug Glibencalimide.

As shown in Table 2, the moiety McReX-5 significantly reduced the blood glucose level in STZ induced diabetic rats. The anti-hyperglycemic activity of the molecule observed was better compared to the dose of standard. In diabetic albino rats, maximum percentage reduction was found to be 80.18% and 70.91%, respectively for the standard drug. it  have been  observed that maintenance of blood glucose level in normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic rats very better as compared with standard.

 

CONCLUSION:

For centuries, indigenous drugs either alone or in combination have been advocated in the traditional system of medicine for the treatment of various ailments. India is rich in plant wealth and has excellent base of utility of plants with ayurvedic science. The Object of the present research was merely depends on the isolation and establishment of structure of the phytoconstituents which are responsible for the antidiabetic activity and retrosynthatic development of the moites the further work on this plant is gating progress in ouer research laboratory of NGSMIPES mangalore, VIP sciences Rajamundry AIKTC School Of Pharmacy New Parnvel Mumbai.
