Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Traditional medicines based on natural plants have been used to treat various diseases in Mongolia. Many of them are known as having unique traditions for inflammatory and infectious diseases, and some of them were selected to find pharmaceutical seeds in this project. After the active guided isolations of compounds from Mongolian plants, the purified compound structures including absolute configuration were determined by spectroscopic methods. Then the compounds inhibitory activities against various enzymes, bacteria, protozoa, and insects were evaluated. Pea aphid was used as a model of living organisms, and assay methods were developed using insect immune system which similar to human innate immune system. Phenoloxidase is a component of the insect immune system, and its inhibitors were identified from Atraphaxis frutescens. Furthermore, Trypanocidal new oxazoles, anti- bacterial diterpenoid, and anti-insect acetylcholinesterase phenylpropanoid were isolated from Mongolian plants.
