| description | The aim of this study was to determine the secondary metabolites, cytotoxic activity
and termiticidal activity of lichen Parmotrema sulphuratum, which was collected from
Borneo Highland, Sarawak. Phytochemical examination on the dichloromethane extract of
the lichen gave percentage yield of 16.66 % and led to the isolation and characterization of
atraric acid. Column Chromatography method has been developed to fractionate the
dichloromethane crude into several fractions and purify them by using the 20 cm х 20 cm
Preparative TLC plate. The pure compound was subjected to Gas Chromatography Flame
Ionization Detector to determine the purity. The structure of atraric acid was elucidated by
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared. The components of the lichen were identified
based on spectral data and comparison with published information. Bioassay was carried out
on Artemia salina and Rhinotermes sp. and results indicate that the all the extracts do not
exhibit cytotoxic activity and termiticidal activity. |
