Fruits of (Buch.-Ham.), (English: mangrove apple, Bengali: keora) both seeds and pericarps, are largely consumed as food besides their enormous medicinal application. The fruit seeds have high content of nutrients and bioactive components. The seeds powder of was successively fractionated using -hexane, diethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The fractions were used to evaluate antibacterial, anti-diarrhoeal, analgesic, and cytotoxic activities. Methanol fraction of seeds (MeS) stronly inhibited strains, Paratyphi A, Typhi, , and except at 500 μg/disc. All the fractions strongly inhibited castor oil induced diarrhoeal episodes and onset time in mice at 500 mg extract/kg body weight (<0.001). At the same concentration, MeS had the strongest inhibitory activity on diarrhoeal episodes, whereas the -hexane fraction (HS) significantly (<0.05) prolonged diarrhoeal onset time as compared to positive control. Similarly, HS (<0.005) inhibited acetic acid induced writhing in mice at 500 mg extract/kg, more than any other fraction. HS and diethyl ether fractions of seed strongly increased reaction time of mice in hot plate test at 500 mg extract/kg. All the fractions showed strong cytotoxic effects in brine shrimp lethality tests. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of HS led to the identification of 23 compounds. Linoleic acid (29.9%), palmitic acid (23.2%), ascorbyl palmitate (21.2%), and stearic acid (10.5%) were the major compounds in HS. These results suggest that seeds of could be of great use as nutraceuticals.
(布赫 - 汉姆)的果实,(英文:红树苹果,孟加拉语:keora),其种子和果皮除了具有巨大的药用价值外,还大量被用作食物。果实种子含有高含量的营养成分和生物活性成分。对(该果实种子)进行连续分级分离,依次使用正己烷、乙醚、氯仿、乙酸乙酯和甲醇。这些级分用于评估抗菌、止泻、镇痛和细胞毒性活性。种子的甲醇级分(MeS)在500μg/圆片时强烈抑制金黄色葡萄球菌菌株、甲型副伤寒杆菌、伤寒杆菌、大肠杆菌和铜绿假单胞菌,但对肺炎克雷伯菌除外。所有级分在500mg提取物/千克体重时均强烈抑制蓖麻油诱导的小鼠腹泻发作和发作时间(P<0.001)。在相同浓度下,MeS对腹泻发作具有最强的抑制活性,而正己烷级分(HS)与阳性对照相比显著(P<0.05)延长了腹泻发作时间。同样,HS在500mg提取物/千克时抑制乙酸诱导的小鼠扭体反应(P<0.005),比任何其他级分都更有效。种子的HS和乙醚级分在500mg提取物/千克时在热板试验中强烈增加小鼠的反应时间。所有级分在卤虫致死试验中均显示出强烈的细胞毒性作用。对HS进行气相色谱 - 质谱分析,鉴定出23种化合物。亚油酸(29.9%)、棕榈酸(23.2%)、棕榈酸维生素C酯(21.2%)和硬脂酸(10.5%)是HS中的主要化合物。这些结果表明,该果实种子作为营养保健品可能具有很大用途。
