I. indica

Arabinogalactans (AGs) are widely spread throughout the plant kingdom. Many edible and inedible plants are rich sources of these polysaccharides. AGs occur in two structurally different forms described as type I and type II, associated with the pectin cell-wall component by physical bonds and some of them are covalently linked to the complex pectin molecule as neutral side chains. Commercial pectins always contain AG 10-15%). AG of type I has a linear (1 4)-y0-o-Galp backbone, bearing 20-40% of of-L-Ara/ residues (1 5)-linked in short chains, in general at position 3. It is commonly found in pectins from citrus, apple and potato [6]. Recently, this AG type has been isolated from the skin of Opuntia ficus indica pear fruits [372].

Plant. Trifluralin was absorbed by carrot roots in greenhouse soils pretreated with the herbicide (0.75 Ib/acre). The major metabolite formed was a,a,a-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-7V-(/i-propyl-toluene)-p-toluidine (Golab et al., 1967). Two metabolites of trifluralin that were reported in goosegrass Eleucine indica) were 3-methoxy-2,6-dinitro-A7A-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benz-enamine and A-(2,6-dinitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-jV-propylpropanamide (Duke et al., 1991).

Aristolactam (13) (in some papers, aristololactam) was first prepared by catalytic hydrogenation or zinc reduction in acetic acid from aristolochic acid I (25). It has been isolated from seveizl Aristolochic plants, including A. debilis and A. fangchi (24). Kupchan and Merianos isolated the first aristolactam iV-glucoside (19) from A. indica (37). 

Kupchan and Doskotsch (9) found that an alcoholic extract of A. indica possessed reproducible activity against the adenocarcinoma 755 test system. The active principle, aristolochic acid I, was isolated and characterized. Kamatsh and co-workers (97) reported that growth of mouse sarcoma-37 cells incubated with aristolochic acid at concentration of 100-200 p-g/ml for 3 hr was completely inhibited. Treatment of mice with aristolochic acid (1.25-5 mg/kg ip per day) for 3 days after subcutaneous implantation of sarcoma-37 cells inhibited tumor growth in 40-50%. A dose of 2.5-5 mg/kg ip per day for 5 days remarkably prolonged survival. The cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells in culture was observed at a concentration of 25 p-g/ml.
