Evaluation of Anti- Inflammatory Activity of Capparis Grandiflora Wall. Ex Hook. F. & Thomson in Rodents
Capparis grandiflora was used to treat diarrhoea and other infective disorders in folklore. The present study aims at evaluating the action of chloroform soluble fraction, ethanol soluble fraction and ether soluble fraction of the leaves of Capparis grandiflora against inflammatory diseases. The anti-inflammatory effects were investigated by employing acute inflammatory model i.e.; carrageenan-...
متن کاملCharacterization and functional identification of a novel plant 4,5-extradiol dioxygenase involved in betalain pigment biosynthesis in Portulaca grandiflora.
Betalains are pigments that replace anthocyanins in the majority of families of the plant order Caryophyllales. Betalamic acid is the common chromophore of betalains. The key enzyme of the betalain biosynthetic pathway is an extradiol dioxygenase that opens the cyclic ring of dihydroxy-phenylalanine (DOPA) between carbons 4 and 5, thus producing an unstable seco-DOPA that rearranges nonenzymati...
متن کاملImmunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory mechanisms of triptolide, the principal active diterpenoid from the Chinese medicinal herb Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f.
Extracts of Tripterygium wilfordii hook. f. (leigong teng, Thundergod vine) are effective in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of immune inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, nephritis and asthma. Characterisation of the terpenoids present in extracts of Tripterygium identified triptolide, a diterpenoid triepoxide, as responsible for most o...
متن کاملOptional use of CAM photosynthesis in two C4 species, Portulaca cyclophylla and Portulaca digyna.
Low levels of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are demonstrated in two species with C4 photosynthesis, Portulaca cyclophylla and P. digyna. The expression of CAM in P. cyclophylla and P. digyna is facultative, i.e. optional. Well-watered plants did not accumulate acid at night and exhibited gas-exchange patterns consistent with C4 photosynthesis. CAM-type nocturnal acidification was reversibl...
متن کاملCell Suspension Cultures of Portulaca grandiflora as Potent Catalysts for Biotransformation of L-Tyrosine into L-DOPA, an Anti-Parkinson’s Drug
3,4-Dihydroxy L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA) is considered a potent drug for the treatment of Parkinson disease, a neurologic disorder. Enantiomerically pure L-DOPA is produced from L-tyrosine in a single-step biotransformation process using callus cultures of the plant Portulaca grandifloraHook (Portulacaceae). Callus cultures were induced in MS medium provided with growth regulators such as benzyla...
