  • FURTHER STUDY ON CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS FROM THE HEARTWOOD OF Dalbergia TON
    Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology, 2018
    Co-Authors: To Dao Cuong, Ngu Truong Nhan, Nguyen Phuong Dai Nguyen, Pham Ngoc Khanh, Tran Thu Huong, Nguyen Manh Cuong
    Abstract:

    From the methanol extract of the heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis Prain collected in Buon Ma Thuot city, DakLak province, five flavonoids, liquiritigenin (1), 7,3',5'-trihydroxyflavanone (2), sativanone (3), 3'-O-methylviolanone (4) and sulfuretin (5) were isolated. The chemical structures of isolated compounds were determined by the interpretation of NMR spectral data as well as comparison with data from the literature. This study marks that 7,3',5'-trihydroxyflavanone (2) was isolated from the genus Dalbergia for the first time.

  • new records of potent in vitro antidiabetic properties of Dalbergia tonkinensis heartwood and the bioactivity guided isolation of active compounds
    Molecules, 2018
    Co-Authors: Van Bon Nguyen, Sanlang Wang, Ngu Truong Nhan, Thi Thanh Hanh Nguyen, Nguyen Phuong Dai Nguyen, Do Huu Nghi, Nguyen Manh Cuong
    Abstract:

    Alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity has been commonly used for the evaluation of antidiabetic property in vitro. The aim of this study is to investigate and characterize Dalbergia tonkinensis as a potential source of antidiabetic compounds. The screening of the active parts used, such as trunk bark, heartwood, and the leaves of Dalbergia tonkinensis indicated that all these extracted parts used with methanol demonstrated potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The in vitro antidiabetic property of Dalbergia tonkinensis was notably recorded for the first time and showed activity (EC50 = 0.17–0.78 mg/mL) comparable to those of reported potent herbal extracts (EC50 = 0.25–4.0 mg/mL) and higher activity than that of acarbose, a commercial antidiabetic drug (EC50 = 1.21 mg/mL). The stability tests revealed that the heartwood of Dalbergia tonkinensis extract (HDT) possesses high pH stability with relative activity in the range of 80–98%. Further bioassay-guided purification led to the isolation of 2 active compounds identified as sativanone and formononetin from the ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction of HDT, respectively. These α-glucosidase inhibitors (aGIs) show promising inhibition against various types of α-glucosidases. Remarkably, these inhibitors were determined as new mammalian aGIs, showing good effect on rat α-glucosidase. The results suggest that Dalbergia tonkinensis is a potent source of aGIs and suggest promise in being developed as functional food with antidiabetic efficacy. The results of this study also enrich our knowledge concerning current biological activity and constituents of Dalbergia tonkinensis species.

  • dna barcoding of malagasy rosewoods towards a molecular identification of cites listed Dalbergia species
    PLOS ONE, 2016
    Co-Authors: Sonja Hassold, Porter P Lowry, Martin R Bauert, Annick Razafintsalama, Lolona Ramamonjisoa, Alex Widmer
    Abstract:

    Illegal selective logging of tropical timber is of increasing concern worldwide. Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot and home to some of the world’s most sought after tropical timber species. Malagasy rosewoods belong to the genus Dalbergia (Fabaceae), which is highly diverse and has a pantropical distribution, but these timber species are among the most threatened as a consequence of intensive illegal selective logging and deforestation. Reliable identification of Dalbergia species from Madagascar is important for law enforcement but is almost impossible without fertile plant material, which is often unavailable during forest inventories or when attempting to identify logged trees of cut wood. DNA barcoding has been promoted as a promising tool for species identification in such cases. In this study we tested whether DNA barcoding with partial sequences of three plastid markers (matK, rbcL and trnL (UAA)) can distinguish between Dalbergia from Madagascar and from other areas of its distributional range, and whether Malagasy species can be distinguished from one another. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the Malagasy Dalbergia species studied form two monophyletic groups, each containing two subgroups, only one of which corresponds to a single species. We characterized diagnostic polymorphisms in the three DNA barcoding markers that allow rapid discrimination between Dalbergia from Madagascar and from other areas of its distribution range. Species identification success based on individual barcoding markers or combinations was poor, whereas subgroup identification success was much higher (up to 98%), revealing both the value and limitations of a DNA barcoding approach for the identification of closely related Malagasy rosewoods.
