Antiplasmodial constituents of Cajanus cajan
AbstractBioactivity‐guided fractionation of extracts of roots and leaves of Cajanus cajan afforded 8 compounds: betulinic acid, biochanin A, cajanol, genistein and 2′‐hydroxygenistein, longistylin A and C, and pinostrobin. The two stilbenes, longistylin A and C, and betulinic acid showed a moderately high in vitro activity against the chloroquine ...

Vicilin from cajanus cajan seeds
Abstract Vicilin from pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) seeds was purified and characterised. It has a M, of ca 180 000 and consists of two types of subunits having M, s of ca 72 000 and 57 000. The subunits are not linked by disulphide bonds. The vicilin of pigeon pea differs from that of Pisum or Vicia in the absence of small M, subunits.

Seed globulins of Cajanus cajan
Seed globulins ofCajanus cajan a widely cultivated legume were purified and characterised. About 78% of the seed proteins were salt soluble, out of which 61% were globulins which were further separated into three fractions. The ∞ fraction was insoluble at pH 4.7 and consisted of two subfractions. Fraction β and γ were soluble at pH 4.7.
