The oral dosages formulations from Pothomorphe umbellata (Piperaceae) can only be therapeutically evaluated after establishing 4-nerolidylcatechol (4-NRC) pharmacokinetic profile in plasma. For that purpose, a unique analytical method validation using HPLC-UV detection was developed for analysis of rat plasma samples. The animals received 10 mg/kg b.w. of 4-NRC i.v.. Analytical conditions were ...

Thirty age-matched healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits (2.0 ± 0.5kg BW) were randomly divided into six groups (four treatment and two control groups). The treatment groups were given intraperitoneal injection of either 0.5ml or 1.0ml liquid extract of abeere seed or the alcoholic extract (w/v) and examined for 14 days. The effect of the seed extracts on the haematological parameters, s...

A bioassay-directed phytochemical study was carried out to investigate potential allelochemicals of the invasive plant Merremia umbellata subsp. orientalis (Hall. f.). Eight phenolic compounds, including a salicylic acid (SA)-derived new natural product, SA 2-O-β-D-(3',6'-dicaffeoyl)-glucopyranoside (1), and seven known ones 2-8 were isolated and identified from two bioactive sub-fractions of t...
