Background: Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance are the main manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which appears to be caused by exposure to androgenized models have developed and investigated to study the etiology of polycystic ovary syndrome. Objective: To evaluate the modulatory effects of Commiphora wightii (C.wightii) resins in response to hyperandrogenism in polycystic o...

The biblical balm of Gilead (Commiphora gileadensis) was investigated in this study for anticancerous activity against tumor cell lines. The results obtained from ethanol-based extracts and from essential oils indicated that β-caryophyllene (trans-(1R,9S)-8-methylene-4,11,11-trimethylbicyclo[7.2.0]undec-4-ene) is a key component in essential oils extracted from the balm of Gilead. β-Caryophylle...

materials and methods thirty-two adult male wistar rats were randomly allocated to four groups: normal, diabetic, normal + extract of c. mukul and diabetic + extract of c. mukul groups with free access to regular rat diet. diabetes was induced in male rats by single interaperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg stz. after the confirmation of diabetes, 300 mg/kg c. mukul extract was orally administered...

The results of this study indicate that melatonin induces hypothyroidism in mice within eight days. Simultaneous administration of melatonin and petroleum ether extract of Commiphora mukul brings about a significant improvement in thyroid structure and function. Further, melatonin induced hypothyroidism is although a little reversible yet it is normalized quickly after C. mukul treatment. These...

The title triterpene compound, C(23)H(32)O(4), isolated from Commiphora wightii features four trans-fused rings, among which the five-membered ring adopts an envelope conformation, the cyclo-hexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation and the two cyclo-hexane rings exist in chair conformations. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding...
