A new triterpenoid bidesmoside (leptocarposide) possessing an acyl group in their glycosidic moiety (1), together with the known luteolin-8-C-glucoside (2) and 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S,3R,8E)-2-[(2'R)-2-hydroxypalmitoylamino]-8-octadecen-1,3-diol (3) was isolated from the n-butanol-soluble fraction of whole plant of Ludwigia leptocarpa (Nutt) Hara (Onagraceae). Structure of compound 1 has been assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data ((1)H and (13)C NMR, (1)H-(1)H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY), mass spectrometry, and by comparison with the literature. This compound was further screened for its potential antioxidant properties by using the radical scavenging assay model 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and reveals non-potent antioxidant activities, while compound 2 shows SC50 of 0,038 mM.

Diarrhea continues to be one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among infants and children in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts and compounds from Ludwigia leptocarpa, a plant traditionally used for its vermifugal, anti-dysenteric, and antimicrobial properties. A methanol extract was prepared by maceration of the dried plant and this was successively extracted with ethyl acetate to obtain an EtOAc extract and with n-butanol to obtain an n-BuOH extract.

Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, MS, Brazil.

Studies on Neotropical aquatic macrophytes have increased in recent decades, however species richness in wetlands of South America is far from being fully known. In addition, studies having an ecological approach are scarce in the Pantanal. Rapid assessments are essential for gaining knowledge of the biodiversity in the region.
