Inventory of non-timber forest product plant and fungal species in the Robson Valley

Increasing interest in non-timber forest products (NTFPs) has led to their greater recognition in sustainable forest management planning. This is evident in local resource management plans for the Robson Valley in east-central British Columbia, where public input shows strong support for the sustainable development of NTFP harvesting. However, information needed to develop sustainable managemen...

Erratum: Terpenoids from the Oleo-Gum-Resin of Boswellia serrata and Their Antiplasmodial Effects In Vitro.

In the course of our ongoing search for new natural products as leads against protozoal diseases, the dichloromethane extract of Indian frankincense, the oleo-gum-resin obtained from Boswellia serrata, showed in vitro activity against Plasmodium falciparum. Bioactivity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of eight diterpenes: (1S,3E,7E,11R)-verticilla-3,7,12(18)-triene (1), cembrene A (2),...

Effect of oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia serrata (Kundur) on renal functions in Albino rats

Oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia serrata Roxb. (Burseraceae) locally called ‘Kundur’, is one of the ingredients in certain Unani formulations used in renal diseases. In the present study, the effect of Kundur and its methanol soluble (MS), and methanol insoluble (MINS) fractions were investigated on Gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in Albino rats. The renal effects of Kundur and its fractions were ...

CHEMICAL STANDARDIZATION OF ‘KUNDUR’ (Oleo-Gum-Resin of Boswellia serrata Roxb)

A comparative study of the original and market samples of the KUNDUR (Oleo-Gum-Resin of Boswellia serrata Roxb.) with special reference to its chemical standardization and the qualitative and quantitative studies have been discussed here.
