The chemical composition of lipid extracts from aerial parts of Zygophyllum oxianum was determined by GC and TLC. The yield of total lipids was 0.75% in leaves, 0.33% in stems, and 0.49% in fruit calculated for fresh plant mass. Phospholipids were represented by nine classes, of which phosphatidylcholine dominated (55.8% in leaves, 56.4% in stems, 63.7% in fruit of total PL). The n-BuOH extract from the plant aerial part exhibited noticeable antifungal activity. The CHCl:MeOH (2:1) extract from leaves and stems exhibited pronounced in vitro cytotoxicity against human bladder carcinoma cell line 5637 with IC 6.2 μg/mL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cuticular lipids were isolated via enzymolysis and acid and alkaline hydrolysis of defatted skin of ripe tomatoes Lycopersicon esculentum. Their composition and that of fatty acids from acyl-containing constituents were established. Sterylglycosides and their fatty-acid (FA) esters, lysophosphatidylethanolamines, and lysophosphatidylinositols were identified in skin cuticular lipids that were isolated by enzymolysis. Not only C16 and C18 FA but also 10:0, 12:0, 14:0, 15:0, 17:0, 20:0, 20:1, 22:0, and 24:0 acids were found in the enzymolysis and acid-hydrolysis products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the results of a study of the qualitative and quantitative compositions of phospholipids from the seeds of medicinal plants, castor bean and thorn-apple seeds. It also shows the composition of ordinary fatty acids in the phospholipids and its positional distribution in the principal phospolipids. It was revealed that the yield of lipids from castor beans was greater than from thorn-apple seeds. Charts supporting the result are provided.

The article reports on the lipids from fresh leaves of Atriplex dimorphostegia which contains organic acids, coumarins and flavonoids. It shows an analysis of the enzymes from the leaves which are extracted in boiling isopropanol and total lipids were separated by column chromatography into groups of neutral (NL), glycol- (GL), and phospholipids (PL). It also presents the components and fatty-acid composition of the lipids from Atriplex leaves.

Lipids of Eminium Lehmannii leaves and tuber casings and cores were studied. Their class and fatty-acid compositions were determined. Leaf pigments were investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The carbohydrate and lipid compositions of seeds from Gleditsia triacanthos L. cultivated in Uzbekistan are investigated. Water-soluble polysaccharide (galactomannan), pectinic substances, and hemicellulose are isolated. Their physicochemical properties and monosaccharide composition are found. The content and fatty-acid composition of neutral, glyco-, and phospholipids are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The qualitative and quantitative compositions of the phospholipids from the seeds of Fumaria vaillantii L. have been determined. The total fatty acid compositions of all the classes of phospholipids and the position-distributions of the phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylinositols, and phosphatidylethanolamines have been investigated.

The article offers information on the study of neutral lipids from Silybum marianum seeds. It mentions that the seeds of Silybum marianum contain oils that have wound-healing, anti-burn, and hepatoprotective properties. The article highlights the details of the study including the process of extracting the seeds and discusses the compositions of the neutral lipids which are identified through chromatography.
