Novel nitrile glycoside useful as a bio-enhancer of drugs and nutrients

The present invention relates to a novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I named NIAZIRIDIN and to analogues and derivatives thereof.The present invention also relates to a process for the isolation of a novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I below named NIAZIRIDIN and its derivatives and analogues by bioactivity-guided fractionation from the pods of Moringa oleifera.The present invention particularly relates to the bioenhancing activity of the novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I below named NIAZIRIDIN and its derivatives and analogues in enhancing bioactivity of commonly used antibiotics such as rifampicin, tetracycline and ampicillin against Gram (+) and (-) bacteria. The biomolecule also enhances the absorption of drugs, vitamins and nutrients through the gastro-intestinal membrane increasing their bioavailability.Therefore niaziridin can be used in combination therapy with drugs and nutrients resulting in reduced drug associated toxicity, reduced cost and duration of chemotherapy.
