Chemical Constituents from Akar Kuning and their Antiozidant and Antifungal Activities
Introduction The genus Arcangelisia (Menispermaceae) comprises two liana species. One is A. tiara (L.) Merr. grown in the forest areas of South-East Asia, and the other is A. tympanopoda (Lauberb. and K. Schum.) Diels. found only in New Guinea. The two species arc differentiated by the size of fruit, with the latter having larger fruit than the former. A. tiara is known locally as Akar kuning, the name derived from the yellow sap. The plant is an important folk medicine (Jamu) in Indonesia. The boiled shoot and root extracts are used locally for a variety of purposes: febrifuge, tonic, abortive, expectorant and emmanogogue, and the healing of hepatitis, indigestion, jaundice, smallopox and malaria. Recent pharmacological invesitigations have shown that the extracts have diverse biological effects such as antimicrobial, antibabesial, cardiotonic, and anti-hypertensive. Phytochemical invesitigations of this plant have shown the presence of quaternary protoberberine alkaloids (berberine, jatrorrhizine, dehydrocorydalmine, thalifendine, palmatine, columbamine), a simple isoquinoline alkanoid (pycnarrhrine) and tertiary bisbenzyl-isoquinoline alkaloids (limacine and homoaromoline). Kunii et al. isolated various furanoditerpens, including 6-hydroxyarcangelisin, 2-hrdroarcangelisinol, tinophyliol, 6-hydroxyfibleucin, fibleucin, fibraurin, and 6-hydroxyfibraurin. As the wood shows pharmacological activity and contains alkanoids, the biological activity of the wood should be studies in detail.
