The study aims to investigate the Isolation, Characterization & Antihypertensive Life of Natural Alkaloids out of certain Selected Plants. The Alstonia scholaris papers used in this study are generally available in the tropics and can be obtained in Asia. The plant sample was verified by the pharmacognosy and pharmacology department. The powdered leaves of Alstonia scholaris (500 gm) are macerated using 1% HCl (pH 2) at space temperature overnight. After that, the combination was produced alkaline by putting 25% NH4OH solution (pH 9). The combination's color changed from the red wine to the black. The alkaline mixture was then bounced satisfactorily and purified using Whatman filter paper. Four fractions (15-19) were collected from column chromatography. All the fractions have shown the same Rf value in the TLC fingerprint, therefore they are incorporated established on TLC analysis generated in Hexane: Ethyl acetate (14:6). Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, i.e. N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester was used to produce hypertension in rats in (40 mg/ml/kg, i.p.). Every day, it is solubilized in 0.9 per cent NaCl solution. Colourless powder compound was obtained (yield 0.4%) and having MP 132-1340 C. Rf value in (Hexane: Ethyl acetate,65:35) at 0.55, UV-Vis λmax in methanol: (nm) 297, IR (KBr), m 913 (N-H bending), 1260 (C-N Stretching), 1396 (C-N), 1165, 1259 (-C-O- stretching) 1396, 1464 (C=C, Ar.), 2831, 2928 (C-H, Aliphatic) and 3564, 3315 (N-H Stretching). The 1H NMR spectrum also portrayed the distinctive peaks for various chemical compounds. The peak of 7.28-8.85 ppm was due to multiple aromatic protons. The 6.94-7.04 ppm peaks were characteristic of ethylene amino protons, and the 1.57-2 ppm peaks were allocated to alcohol protons. L-NAME significantly elevated MABP, SBP, and DBP in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats but not HR. The mean arterial blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of pentobarbital-anaesthetized L-NAME caused hypertensive rats do not alter after a single intragastric injection of the isolated alkaloid. Finally, isolated alkaloids from Alstonia scholaris supplement had antihypertensive properties in hypertensive rats.

Agunmu (ground herbal medicine) is a form of West African traditional medicine consisting of a cocktail of herbs. The goal of this study is to evaluate a formulation of Agunmu made from , , , , and , sold in the open market and commonly used for the treatment of malaria by the locals, for its antimalarial effects and to determine the active principles that may contribute to the antimalarial effect. The ethanolic extract obtained from this formulation (Ag-Iba) was analyzed, using TLC, LC-MS, and Tandem-MS techniques, to determine its phytochemical properties.

Alstoscholarisine L is an architecturally complex monoterpenoid indole alkaloid with a unique ring fusion pattern, isolated from the leaves of Alstonia scholaris. The 6/5/5/6/6/6-membered rings contain two lactonic rings and one aminal carbon and possess seven contiguous aligned stereocenters, three of which are quaternary. Its structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data analyses, quantum chemical computations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Monoterpene indole alkaloids (MIAs) are valuable metabolites produced in numerous medicinal plants from the Apocynaceae family such as Alstonia scholaris, which synthesizes strictamine, a MIA displaying neuropharmacological properties of a potential importance. To get insights into the MIA metabolism in A. scholaris, we studied here both the spatial and transcriptional regulations of MIA genes by performing a robust transcriptomics analysis of the main plant organs, leaf epidermis but also by sequencing RNA from leaves transiently overexpressing the master transcriptional regulator MYC2.

Poor air quality in urban areas increases the exposure of individuals to air pollutants. Hence, it becomes mandatory to grow such plant species that have more potential to tolerate air pollution and can aid in its mitigation. Air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index (API) are two indices that help in scientific evaluation of plant species before recommending them for plantation.
