Goal and objectives of the project | - Isolation and structural elucidation of chemical components from Alpinia Vietnamica.
- To prepare orientedly product having capacity of anti tumor of Alpinia Vietnamica. |
Main results | * Theoretical results:
- Isolated and identified chemical structure of 7 compounds including 2 flavone, 3 flavanone and 3 chalcone as well as hydrodistillated the rhizome and leaf essential oils of Alpinia Vietnamica.
-Evaluation of cytotoxicity, anti-imflammatory, antioxidative, inhibit α-glucosidase activity of extracts and compounds.
*Applied results
-Preparation of the product have antitumor potential at the scale of 1 kg dry material/batch.
-Preparation of 58.4 g product from EtOAC extract having potent anti tumor in rats.
-Evaluation of the acute toxicity of the product (LD50> 5000mg/kg rat body weight) |
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | - Phytochemical and bioactivity research of Alpinia Vietnamica were investigated for the first time, including 7 compounds, the rhizome and leaf essential oils, many of them showed significant bioactivity.
- This is the first report on preparation of the product inhibited 25,72% tumor volume at 500 mg/kg rat body weight. |
Products of the project | -Technological products (deposited in the Institute of Chemistry) |
