Safety of Desmodium adscendens extract on hepatocytes and renal cells. Protective effect against oxidative stress

AIM The increased consumption of traditional medicinal plants has been driven by the notion that herbal products are safe and efficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and the protective effect of a hydro alcoholic extract of Desmodium adscendens (DA) on liver (HEPG2) and kidney (LLC-PK1) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS A hydro alcoholic extract of DA was used. HEPG2 or LLC...

Effect of butanolic fraction of Desmodium adscendens on the anococcygeus of the rat.

The chemical composition of plants can vary according to factors such as soil and time of collection. Desmodium adscendens (Sw.) D.C. var. adscendens (Papillionaceae) is a plant employed in the treatment of asthma in Ghana, Africa. Studies have shown that butanolic extract inhibits contraction of the ileum and trachea in guinea pigs. In Mato Grosso, this plant is used only in the treatment of o...

Steroidal saponins from the roots of Asparagus adscendens Roxb and Asparagus racemosus Willd

Phytochemical constituents of Asparagus adscendens and Asparagus racemosus are being reported in the present communication. Two new sarsasapogenin glycosides have been isolated, one from each of the species. Structure elucidation of 1 and 10 has been accomplished through the extensive use of 1Dand 2D-NMR experiments including H-H (DQFCOSY), H-C (HMQC, HMBC) spectroscopy along with mass spectros...

Chemical Composition and, Cellular Evaluation of the Antioxidant Activity of Desmodium adscendens Leaves

Desmodium adscendens plant is widely used as juice or tea in various parts of the world against a wide range of diseases. This study determines the quality and the quantity of polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins in D. adscendens leaves by UV-spectrophotometry and RP-HPLC methods. In addition, the antioxidant capacity of these phenolic compounds is evaluated by ABTS (2,2'-azino-bi...
