Antithrombotic Effect and Mechanism of Radix Paeoniae Rubra
The compounds of Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR) were isolated and identified by bioassay-guided method, and antithrombotic effects and mechanism were investigated by the acute blood stasis rat model. The RPR extract was evaluated by APTT, TT, PT, and FIB assays in vitro. Results indicated that RPR extract exhibited the anticoagulant activity. In order to find active compounds, six compounds were is...
متن کاملAnthelmintic Activity of Rhizomes of Nymphaea rubra Linn
The Anthelmintic activity of petroleum ether, methanol and chloroform extract of rhizomes of Nymphaea rubra Linn were evaluated separately and the activities were compared with that of Albendazole. The petroleum ether, ethanol and chloroform extract exhibited dose dependent activity. The ethanolic extract showed remarkable Anthelmintic activity.
متن کاملA new diarylheptanoid glycoside from the stem bark of Alnus hirsuta and protective effects of diarylheptanoid derivatives in human HepG2 cells.
To search for secondary metabolites of Alnus hirsuta (Betulaceae), various chromatographic separations of the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the stem bark of A. hirsuta led to the isolation of a new diarylheptanoid glycoside, (3R)-1,7-bis-(4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-heptanol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->3)-beta-D-xylopyranoside (13) and twelve diarylheptanoid derivatives, namely, oregonin (1), ru...
متن کاملThe fermenting bacterium Malonomonas rubra is phylogenetically related to sulfur-reducing bacteria and contains a c-type cytochrome similar to those of sulfur and sulfate reducers.
Malonomonas rubra is a microaerotolerant fermenting bacterium which can maintain its energy metabolism for growth by decarboxylation of malonate to acetate. 16S rRNA sequence analysis revealed that M. rubra is closely related to the cluster of mesophilic sulfur-reducing bacteria within the delta subclass of the Proteobacteria, with the fermenting bacterium Pelobacter acidigallici and the sulfur...
متن کاملHepatoprotective action of Radix Paeoniae Rubra aqueous extract against CCl4-induced hepatic damage.
In the present study the capacity of Radix Paeoniae Rubra aqueous extract (RPRAE) as an antioxidant to protect against carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats was investigated. Six groups of rats were used. Radix Paeoniae Rubra aqueous extract (100 or 200 or 300 mg/kg of bw) or bifendate (100 mg/kg of bw) were given daily by gavage to the animals...
