Abstract
Lyophilized Acmella oleracea capitula, leaves and stems were extracted with methanol at 100 °C and 10 MPa (100 atm) pressure in a sealed container and analyzed by LC-HRMS and NMR. This solubilized 28.3% of the leaves, 24.7% of the stems and 31.1% of the capitula. The NMR spectra were dominated by signals due to the CHO and CH2O of carbohydrates. Spilanthol and other Nalkamides were present in the methanolic extracts at concentrations that were too low to enable their detection by NMR. In contrast, LC-HRMS was able to quantify spilanthol (deca-2E,6Z,8E-trienoic acid isobutylamide, syn. affinin, C14H23NO) and detect at least ten other N-alkamides as [M+H]+ ions with the following molecular formulas and m/z values: C13H17NO (1), C17H17NO (2), C15H19NO (3), C15H21NO (4), C16H23NO (5), C17H23NO (6), C14H25NO (7), C15H25NO (8), C14H21NO (9) and C16H25NO (10). The concentrations of spilanthol in the capitula, leaves and stems were 16.5, 0.344 and 0.241 mg/g dry weight. To confirm its presence by NMR, partial purification was required. So, a portion of the residues remaining after evaporating off the methanol were partitioned between chloroform and deionized water. The percentage of amphiphilic compounds in the capitula, leaves and stems were 7.69, 8.42 and 3.09% dry weight, respectively. NMR signals due to spilanthol were seen in their spectra.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
