Synthesis of benzoyl esters of β-amyrin and lupeol and evaluation of their antibiofilm and antidiabetic activities

Alfred Ngenge Tamfu et al.

Summary: Diabetes and enhanced microbial multidrug resistance due to biofilm formation are major global health problems. Triterpenoids and their derivatives have shown significant contributions in this field. A small library of benzoyl esters of lupeol and beta-amyrin was synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory potential on pathogenic bacteria biofilms and on alpha-amylase and beta-glucosidase activities. The introduction of benzoyl ester groups at C-3 of lupeol and beta-amyrin substantially improved their antibiofilm and antidiabetic potentials.

Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Syringa vulgaris Mill., Citrus sinensis L. and Hypericum perforatum L.: Phenolic Composition, Enzyme Inhibition and Anti-quorum Sensing Activities

Alfred Ngenge Tamfu et al.

Summary: This study extracted phenolic compounds from Syringa vulgaris, Citrus sinensis, and Hypericum perforatum using ultrasound-assisted extraction and evaluated their medicinal properties. The results showed that these phenolic extracts exhibited inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase, urease, and tyrosinase, as well as antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria. These findings suggest the potential application of these phenolic extracts in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and the development of antimicrobial drugs.
