Antidiabetic activity of Bauhinia forficata extracts in alloxan-diabetic rats.
The antidiabetic activity of aqueous, ethanolic and hexanic extracts of Bauhinia forficata was investigated in a model of alloxan-induced diabetes in rats. The biochemical parameters studied were: plasma glucose, serum triglycerides, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL). Extracts were administered daily for 7 d at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o., 48 h ...
متن کاملTotal Flavonoids Content in the Raw Material and Aqueous Extractives from Bauhinia monandra Kurz (Caesalpiniaceae)
The aim of this work was to evaluate the spectrophotometric methodology for determining the total flavonoid content (TFC) in herbal drug and derived products from Bauhinia monandra Kurz. Several analytical parameters from this method grounded on the complex formed between flavonoids and AlCl₃ were evaluated such as herbal amount (0.25 to 1.25 g); solvent composition (ethanol 40 to 80%, v/v); as...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase inhibition starting from extracts of Bauhinia variegata L., Bauhinia var. candida (Aiton) Buch.-Ham., and Bauhinia ungulata L.
INTRODUCTION A treatment to the Alzheimer's disease consists inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the acetylcholine control in the synapses. METHODS We have investigated the potential of inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase produced by hexane extracts of leaves, branches, and flowers from three Bauhinia specimens, which is based on the technique of thin layer chr...
متن کاملPhytochemical and pharmacognositc investigation of Bauhinia forficata Link (Leguminosae).
We have isolated two phytoconstituents present in the B. forficata leaves, a medicinal plant employed in folk medicine specially for the treatment of diabetes. These compounds were isolated by column chromatography and identified as beta-sitosterol and kaempferol-3,7-dirhamnoside (kaempferitrin) by spectroscopical data and comparison with authentic samples. A comparative study with different pa...
متن کاملMICROPROPAGATION OF Bauhinia acuminata L
Seeds of Bauhinia acuminata L. were used as an experimental material for micropropagation. The effect of growth regulators concentrations on morphogenetic development was studied. Seeds were germinated on MS medium supplemented with GA3 (0.10, 1.0 and 2.0 mgL -1 ) and without GA3. Satisfactory germination was observed at media with 1.0 mgL -l GA3. Subsequent propagation from plantlet was perfor...
