Hypoglycaemic activity of Bixa orellana extract in the dog.
In West Indian folklore, a variety of plants are used for medicinal purposes. One such plant, Bixa orellana (annatto), is commonly used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Preliminary studies have shown that a crude annatto seed extract exhibited either glucose lowering or hyperglycaemia-inducing activity depending on how it was further manipulated. This present investigation sought to deter...
متن کاملDiuretic activity of Bixa orellana Linn. leaf extracts
The present investigation was aimed at investigating the diuretic activity of Bixa orellana Linn. leaves. The dried leaf powder was subjected to successive Soxhlet extraction with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water. Among these, petroleum ether, methanolic and aqueous extracts were investigated for diuretic activity in Wistar rats using standard methods. The diuretic...

متن کاملBixa orellana leaves extract inhibits bradykinin-induced inflammation through suppression of nitric oxide production.
OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of a crude aqueous extract of Bixa orellana leaves (AEBO) and to examine the possible involvement of nitric oxide (NO) in its anti-inflammatory mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The air-dried, powdered leaves were soaked in distilled water (1:20 w/v) at 50°C for 24 h and the supernatant obtained was freeze-dried (...
متن کاملSUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE EXTRACTION OF PIGMENTS FROM Bixa orellana SEEDS (EXPERIMENTS AND MODELING)
Supercritical CO2 extraction of the pigments from Bixa orellana seeds was carried out in a flow apparatus at a pressure of 200 bar and a temperature of 40 oC at two fluid flow rates (0.67g/min and 1.12g/min). The efficiency of the extraction was low (only about 1% of the pigment was extracted). The increase in flow rate led to a decrease in pigment recovery. A large increase in recovery (from 1...
