Chemical Compounds and Antibacterial Activity of Tephrosia Toxicaria Pers.

Chemical Compounds and Antibacterial Activity of Tephrosia toxicaria Pers

Eight known compounds were isolated from the shrub Tephrosia toxicaria. Among them, 6,7-dimethoxy-chromone (1), was described by the first time from this genus, villosinol (2), which had been previously reported without its 13C-NMR data and sumatrol (3), which has its 13C-NMR data corrected. The antibacterial activity of Tephrosia toxicaria extract and obovatin (6), deguelin (7), 12a-hydroxyα-t...

Tephrosia toxicaria Pers. reduces temporomandibular joint inflammatory hypernociception: the involvement of the HO-1 pathway.

BACKGROUND We investigated both the efficacy and the sub-chronic toxicity of Tephrosia toxicaria Pers. in the zymosan-induced temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammatory hypernociception in rats evaluating the possible role of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). METHODS Rats were pretreated with T. toxicaria (0.2, 2.0 or 20 mg/kg) 60 min before the intra-articular injection of zymosan (2 mg, 40 μL) in th...

Pharmacognostical Standardization of Tephrosia purpurea Pers Root

Wild Indigo or Purple Tephrosia or fish poison occurs throughout the Indian subcontinent. It is widely used in the treatment of inflammation, diabetes, rheumatism, asthma, diarrhoea and many other ailments. But so far the pharmacognostic standardization has not been reported for its proper identification. Hence the present study is a pharmacognosy work carried out for the root part. This may he...

Evaluation of Anxiolytic Activity of Hydroalcoholic Activity of Tephrosia Purpuria (l) Pers on Swiss Albino Mice

The present work is to evaluate the anxiolytic activity of a hydroalcoholic extract of Tephrosia purpuria (L) Pers (HAETP) in mice using the elevated plus-maze (EPM), elevated zero-maze (EZM), Y-maze and hole-board models. Furthermore, the anxiolytic effects of HAETP were compared to a known active anxiolytic drug diazepam. The extract, administered orally, in two different doses of HAETP 200 m...
