Evaluation of anticancer properties of a decoction containing Adenanthera pavonina L. and Thespesia populnea L.
BACKGROUND A decoction composed of Adenanthera pavonina L. and Thespesia populnea L. is currently being used in the treatment of cancer patients. METHODS Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) release, (3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) MTT, and Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays were carried out to study cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative activity against the HEp-2 cells, 24 h...
متن کاملThe oil of Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds and its emulsions.
The oil of Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds was analysed by chromatographic and instrumental means. The oil was found to be rich in neutral lipids (86.2%), and low in polar lipids (13.8%). The neutral lipids consisted mainly of triacylglycerols (64.2%). Unsaturated fatty acids were found as high as 71%, while the percentage of saturated fatty acids was only 29%. GC and GC/MS analyses revealed lino...
متن کاملPhytochemical screening of Thespesia populnea (L.) Soland and Tridax procumbens L
Thespesia populnea and Tridax procumbens are medicinally important plant species used to treat different diseases. The present work is aimed to screen these medicinal plants for phytochemical studies. Leaf powder of these plants were dissolved in different solvents and screened for secondary metabolites. Leaves of Thespesia populnea revealed that the presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, g...
متن کاملExtract of Adenanthera pavonina L. seed reduces development of diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the renal protective effect of Adenanthera pavonina (A. pavonina) seed aqueous extract (APSAE), in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS The renal protective effect of A. pavonina seed aqueous extract (APSAE) was studied in STZ-induced diabetic rats. APSAE (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg per day) was given daily to d...
متن کاملPhysiological and biochemical changes during the loss of desiccation tolerance in germinating Adenanthera pavonina L. seeds.
We investigated the loss of desiccation tolerance (DT) in Adenanthera pavonina seeds during germination. Seeds were subjected to imbibition for 0, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 81 h, then dried to their initial moisture content (13%), rehydrated and evaluated for survival (resumption of growth and development of normal seedlings) and membrane system integrity (electrolyte leakage). Embryonic axes of seeds...
