High impact information on Barringtonia

  • Nine triterpene saponins, acutangulosides A-F (2-7), and acutanguloside D-F methyl esters (5a-7a) and a single triterpene aglycone (1) were isolated from a water extract of the bark of Barringtonia acutangula [1].
  • Three monodesmosidic glucuronide saponins of barringtogenol C, named barringtosides A, B and C have been isolated as their methyl esters from the dried seeds of Barringtonia acutangula [2].
  • However, only Andrographis paniculata and Barringtonia acutangula extracts provided around 50% viable cells from extract treatments without venom preincubation [3].
  • Two new triterpenoids, olean-18-en-3beta-O-E-coumaroyl ester (1) and olean-18-en-3beta-O-Z-coumaroyl ester (2), were isolated from the stem bark of marine mangrove plant Barringtonia racemosa, along with five known compounds, germanicol, germanicone, betulinic acid, lupeol, and taraxerol [4].
  • The crude methanolic extract of Barringtonia asiatica (leaves, fruits, seeds, stem and root barks) and the fractions (petrol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol) exhibited a very good level of broad spectrum antibacterial activity [5].
 

Associations of Barringtonia with chemical compounds

  • The antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of Barringtonia racemosa roots, its chloroform soluble fraction and, a there from an isolated clerodane diterpenoid is reported [6].
