Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn (Oleaceae) is widely distributed in sub-Himalayan regions and southwards to Godavari, India commonly known as Harsingar and Night Jasmine. In continuation of our drug discovery program on Indian medicinal plants, we isolated arbortristoside-A (AT) and 7-O-trans-cinnamoyl-6β-hydroxyloganin (6-HL) from the seeds of N. arbortristis. AT and 6-HL exhibited anti ulcer activity in experimentally induced ulcer models including cold restraint stress (CRU), alcohol (AL), pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcer (PL) models and they also showed ulcer healing effect in chronic acetic acid-induced ulcer model (AC).

Arbortristoside-A (Arbor-A) is a naturally occurring iridoid glycoside and herbal-based lead molecule with proven medicinal potential. Aiming at the development of an efficient analytical tool for the quantification of Arbor-A in pharmaceutical dosage forms, in the presented work, we developed an economical, fast, and sensitive RP-HPLC-UV method and validated the procedure as per the ICH guidelines, Q2(R1). The chromatographic separation was accomplished under the optimised experimental conditions using an HPLC system with an LC-2010 autosampler, a PDA detector, and a Phenomenex C18 column with the mobile phase composed of a 70:30 (v/v) water-acetonitrile mixture eluting isocratically at a flow rate of 1 mL/min at ambient temperature, and UV detection at 310 nm.

Nyctanthes arbortristis Linn (Oleaceae) is widely distributed in sub-Himalayan regions and southwards to Godavari, India commonly known as Harsingar and Night Jasmine. In continuation of our drug discovery programme on Indian medicinal plants, we isolated arbortristoside-A (1) and 7-O-trans-cinnamoyl 6β-hydroxyloganin (2) from the seeds of N. Arbortristis, which exhibited moderate in vitro anticancer activity.
