Anticonvulsant activity of acute and chronic treatment with a-asarone from Acorus gramineus in seizure models.
For centuries, extracts of Acorus gramineus have been used extensively in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment, management, and/or control of human ailments, including central nervous system disorders such as convulsions and epilepsy. In the present study, we investigated the anticonvulsant activity of chronic treatment with the plant's major essential oil component (a-asarone, 50-200...
متن کاملAlpha-Asarone, a Major Component of Acorus gramineus, Attenuates Corticosterone-Induced Anxiety-Like Behaviours via Modulating TrkB Signaling Process
We investigated the anxiolytic-like activity of α-asarone (AAS) from Acorus gramineus in an experimental rat model of anxiety induced by repeated administration of the exogenous stress hormone corticosterone (CORT). The putative anxiolytic effect of AAS was studied in behavioral tests of anxiety, such as the elevated plus maze (EPM) test and the hole-board test (HBT) in rats. For 21 consecutive...
متن کاملBioactive lignans from the rhizomes of Acorus gramineus.
As a part of our ongoing search for bioactive constituents from natural Korean sources, the investigation of rhizomes of Acorus gramineus afforded five new lignans, named ligraminols A-E (1-5), together with seven known ones (6-12). The structures of 1-5 were determined by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, CD, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Compounds 1-12 were tested for their antiproliferative ...
متن کاملThe Rhizomes of Acorus gramineus and the Constituents Inhibit Allergic Response In vitro and In vivo
The rhizomes of Acorus gramineus have frequently been used in traditional medicine mainly for sedation as well as enhancing brain function. In this study, the anti-allergic activity of A. gramineus was investigated. The 70% ethanol extract of the rhizomes of A. gramineus was found to inhibit the allergic response against 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX)-catalyzed leukotriene (LT) production from rat baso...
متن کاملSeparation of cis- and trans-Asarone from Acorus tatarinowii by Preparative Gas Chromatography
A preparative gas chromatography (pGC) method was developed for the separation of isomers (cis- and trans-asarone) from essential oil of Acorus tatarinowii. The oil was primarily fractionated by silica gel chromatography using different ratios of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate as gradient elution solvents. And then the fraction that contains mixture of the isomers was further separated by pG...
