The hardwood of Caesalpinia echinata Lam. (brazilwood, Pernambuco, ibirapitanga) is currently the most profitable material used for violin bow due to the unique vibrational properties and dimensional stability. Although this species is resistant to the wood decay caused by termites and rot fungi, an experimental plantation in Southeastern Brazil has been attacked by the ambrosia beetle Platypus...

Antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of Caesalpinia pulcherrima wood were studied in in vitro models. Both extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity, as evidenced by the low IC50 values in both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide and superoxide scavenging methods; the values were found to be less or comparable to those of gallic acid, ...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of methanolic leaf extract of caesalpinia bonduc (l.) on gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats . a control group (saline, group i, n = 6) was compared with rats administrated 80 mg/kg gentamicin, once daily for 7 days (groups ii, iii and iv). the effect of methanolic leaf extract of caesalpinia bonduc (grou...

The current study targets the chemical constituents of Caesalpinia decapetala (Roth) Alston and investigates the bioactivities of the isolated compounds. Fourteen known compounds were isolated using column chromatography, and structural identification was performed by physical and spectral analyses. The biological activities of the compounds were also evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,...

Background: Breast cancer is a condition in which the cells breast tissue grow rapidly and uncontrollably. Risk factors for are those caused by carcinogenic factors, behavior, diet. causes decrease immunity. It can be prevented consuming high-antioxidant foods such as Aia Tempayang. Tempayang made from caesalpinia sappan l., scaphium scaphigerum/seeds ocimum basilicum seeds, each of contains an...

The title compound, C24H30O7, is a diterpenoid isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia minax. It consists of two cyclo-hexane rings (A and B), one unsaturated six-membered ring (C) and one furan ring (D). The stereochemistry of the ring junctures is A/B trans and B/C trans. Rings A and B have normal chair conformations while C adopts a twisted half-chair conformation due to fusion to the furan r...
