As a continuation of our interest in the study of triterpenoid saponins from Albizia zygia, phytochemical investigation of its stem barks led to the isolation of two new oleanane-type saponins, named zygiaosides C-D (1-2). Their structures were established on the basis of extensive analysis of 1D and 2D NMR (1H-, 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC and HMBC) experiments, HRESIMS studies, and by chemical evidence as, 3-O-[ β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-[α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-21-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-(β-d-quinovopyranosyl) octa-2,7-dienoyl]acacic acid 28-O-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→4)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (1) and 3- O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2) -[ β-d-fucopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-21-O-[(2E,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-6-O-(β-D-quinovopyranosyl) octa-2,7-dienoyl]acacic acid 28-O-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→4)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (2).

is a medicinal plant of which bark decoctions are used in traditional medicine for the treatment of diarrhea symptoms in Gabon. The aim of the present work was to perform phytochemical and pharmacological analyses of decoctions of bark. In a principal approach, spectrophotometric analyses were used to quantify phenolic compounds, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry analysis that allowed the identification of flavanone-flavone dimers as the main metabolites.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on optimizing the extraction of polysaccharides from the stem barks and flowers of Magnolia officinalis, achieving maximum yields of 4.12% and 5.5%, respectively.
  • Three specific polysaccharides, MOBP-I, MOBP-II, and MOFP-I, were purified and characterized, revealing different molecular weights and sugar compositions through gas chromatography analysis.
  • The polysaccharides exhibited varying biological activities, with MOBP-I showing significant hypoglycemic effects, while MOBP-II and MOFP-I were more effective in reversing damage from UV radiation, highlighting the connection between their composition and bioactivity.
