Production of an Instant Functional Beverage Made from Ciplukan (Physalis angulata L.) With Cassia vera

Physalis Angulata L . : an Ethanopharmacological Review

Functional and Physical Properties of Instant Beverage Powder Made From Two Different Varieties of Pearl Millet

The objective of this experiment was to assess the effects of malting, extrusion and a combination of both processes on the physical and functional properties of the pearl millet flour (PMF) and pearl millet based instant beverage powder (PMIBP) produced. PMF and PMIBP were prepared by malting, extrusion and a combination of malting and extrusion cooking from two different varieties of pearl mi...

Inhibition of macrophage activation and lipopolysaccaride-induced death by seco-steroids purified from Physalis angulata L.

Physalis angulata L. is an annual herb widely used in popular medicine for the treatment of a variety of pathologies. Here, we tested immunomodulatory activities of physalins, seco-steroids purified from P. angulata extracts. Addition of physalins B, F or G, but not D, caused a reduction in nitric oxide production by macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccaride and interferon-gamma. In the pre...

Cytotoxic withanolides from Vietnamese ethno-medicinal plant Physalis angulata

Withanolides are known as the main components of Physalis genus with broad biological activities. Using combination of various chromatographic methods, three withanolides were isolated including physagulin J (1), physagulin K (2), and physagulin N (3). Their chemical structures were determined by analysis of NMR spectra, and as well as comparison with reported literature. Compound 1 showed sign...

A novel withanolide with an unprecedented carbon skeleton from Physalis angulata.

A novel withanolide, aromaphysalin A (1), possessing an exceptional C(11)-C(15) bond and an unprecedented 4,9-cyclized aromatic ring (ring A), is isolated from stems and leaves of Physalis angulata L. Its structure was determined by a combination of HRESIMS, 2D NMR spectra, and theoretical calculations. Compound 1 exhibited inhibitory activity on NO production with an IC50 value of 51.64 μM. A ...
