Glycosidically bound flavor compounds of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.).

The bound volatile fraction of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) fruit harvested in Colombia has been examined by HRGC and HRGC-MS after enzymatic hydrolysis using a nonselective pectinase (Rohapect D5L). Forty bound volatiles could be identified, with 21 of them being reported for the first time in cape gooseberry. After preparative isolation of the glycosidic precursors on XAD-2 resin, purification by multilayer coil countercurrent chromatography and HPLC of the peracetylated glycosides were carried out. Structure elucidation by NMR, ESI-MS/MS, and optical rotation enabled the identification of (1S,2S)-1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol 2-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1) and p-menth-4(8)-ene-1,2-diol 1-O-alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2). Both glycosides have been identified for the first time in nature. They could be considered as immediate precursors of 1-phenylpropane-1,2-diol and p-menth-4(8)-ene-1,2-diol, typical volatiles found in the fruit of cape gooseberry.

Rapid serodiagnostic test for pulmonary tuberculosis.

Immune complexes (ICs) were isolated from sera of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PT), non-tuberculous pulmonary diseases and healthy control subjects by polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation method. Specific mycobacterial antibody in ICs was tested against an affinity purified mycobacterial antigen by counter-current immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). The results show that specific mycobacterial antibodies are present only in ICs of patients with PT (70%). Therefore CIE could be used as a simple and rapid serodiagnostic test in patients with PT, particularly when bacteriological methods in sputum specimens are negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. CIE has several operational advantages over ELISA and best suited to laboratories with limited resources.

Serodiagnosis of Indian kala-azar: evaluation of IFA, ELISA and CIEP tests.

The sensitivity and specificity of three serological tests viz. indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) for the diagnosis of Indian kala-azar were evaluated. Of the 209 patients in whom Leishmania donovani parasite could be demonstrated in bone marrow, 207 (99.04 per cent) could be diagnosed with IFAT, 203 (96.6 per cent) with CIEP and 208 (99.5 per cent) with ELISA. None of these serological tests was positive in 40 healthy individuals and 10 patients each with tuberculosis, toxoplasmosis and malaria. In only one out of 10 patients with malaria ELISA alone gave false positive result. Of the 119 patients who had clinical features simulating kala-azar but were negative for Leishmania donovani in bone marrow and responded to treatment other than that for Indian Kala-azar, IFAT, CIEP and ELISA were false positive in three (2.5 per cent), nil and three (2.5 per cent) cases, respectively. The use of serodiagnostic tests like ELISA for mass screening and CIEP in less well equipped peripheral laboratories is suggested.
