Background: The helminthiasis parasitic worm present in the gastrointestinal tract of animal cause infection and physiological damage. This occurs due to poor sanitation, impecunious personal hygiene, low socioeconomic position, lack education. Aim: Urochloa distachya (Poaceae) commonly called as signal grass used fodder for animal. investigation was undertaken investigate phytochemicals study ...

The anti-allergic active fractionation of hexane extracts of the leaves and stems of Anchietia salutaris var. martiana (family Violaceae) was performed by monitoring their activities with an in vitro bioassay system measuring the inhibitory effects on induced histamine release from guinea pig lung cells. Three known pentacyclic triterpenes (friedelin, alpha-amyrin, beta-amyrin) were isolated, b...

One new diterpene ester with a tricyclic lathyrane-or myrsinol-type skeleton has been isolated fromEuphorbia decipiensBoiss. &Buhse. In addition to one new, the known constituents -amyrin, -amyrin acetate, methyl (2,4-dihydroxy-3-formyl-6-methoxy) phenyl ketone (2), and 1,1-bis (2,6-dihydroxy-3-acetyl-4-methoxyphenyl)methane (3) have been isolated from the same source. The structure elucidation...

Hydro-alcoholic fruit extract of Cordia myxa was considerably effective on curing acute inflammation in mouse model. Previous studies suggested significant anti-inflammatory activities as well as potential anticancer agent of α-amyrins in seeds. Inhibition of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-Lipooxygenase (5-LOX) is significant in cancer prevention and therapeutics although this inhibition with c...

Ilex asprella, which contains abundant α-amyrin type triterpenoid saponins, is an anti-influenza herbal drug widely used in south China. In this work, we first analysed the transcriptome of the I. asprella root using RNA-Seq, which provided a dataset for functional gene mining. mRNA was isolated from the total RNA of the I. asprella root and reverse-transcribed into cDNA. Then, the cDNA library...

BACKGROUND Cyperus scariosus R. Br and Cyperus rotundus L are widely used in ayurvedic preparation for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. The early literature, so far, does not indicate the presence of any bioactive principle isolated from these plants. OBJECTIVE To identify free radical scavenging, anti-diabetic and anti- inflammatory principles from these two species. MATERIALS...

Natural α,β-amyrins were isolated from endemic Brazilian Esenbeckia grandiflora Mart., and eight synthetic derivatives were obtained by esterification reactions with bromo acetate, followed by amine treatment. The structures of the all compounds were confirmed by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data analysi...
