Cyperus rotundus L. has been widely distributed in China. In the exploration of Cyperi Rhizoma to pat attention on its geoherbalism is very necessary. The current index of quality control for Cyperi Rhizoma and Cyperus rotundus-volatile oil is the αCyperone contained in the Cyperus rotundus-volatile oil, different processing methods influence the content of their αCyperone. On the basis of the ...

In the present study antioxidant activity of the plant was assessed. For this purpose Cyperus rotundus was extracted by using different extraction solvents and evaluated for their antioxidant activity using different in vitro antioxidant assays. Total flavonoids contents in methanol extracts of Cyperus rotundus (8.15-18.25 mg CE/g of dry matter) were higher as compared to ethanol extracts (6.44...

Cataract is a clouding that developes in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. Cataract was induced by incubating the chick lenses in 55mM glucose for 72 hours at 370C. Impact of hydroalcoholic extract of various concentrations was studied on the levels of trace elements, electrolytes, total pr...

The study was designed to scientifically evaluate the effect of alchoholic extract of Cyperus rotundus rhizomes, a traditional medicinal herb, on isoproterenol-induce myocardial necrosis in rats model. The albino wistar rats were divided into five different groups with six animal in each group. Group I serves as a control group, group II were given isoproterenol (85 mg/kg s.c) for 2 days while ...

The 2009 National Burn Repository reports the most common cause of burns as direct fire/flame (43%) followed by scalds (30%).The aim of present study was to reveal the ameliorative effect of cyperus rotundus essential oil. The burn was induced in the rats by using method as described by Bairy and Somayaji1. The treatment was given with the cyperus rotundus essential oil (CREO) with dose 200 mg....

Ayurveda, the science of life, deals with the holistic view of healthy living. It covers various physiology and pathology of diseases and their therapies. Since ancient times, several diseases have been treated by administration of plant extracts based on traditional medicine. Investigation of traditionally used medicinal plants is thus valuable on two levels, firstly, as a source of potential ...

Two novel compounds, 1α-methoxy-3β-hydroxy-4α-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-1, 2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalin (1) and 1α,3β-dihydroxy-4α-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalin (2), were isolated along with six known compounds 3-8 from the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus. This paper reports the isolation and full spectroscopic characterization of these new compounds by NMR, UV, IR and MS data.

Present study was carried out to determine the high COD of GIDC (Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation) areas. One of the burning problems of Industrial society is the high consumption of water and the high demand for clean drinking water. Numerous approaches have been taken to reduce water consumption, but in the long run it seems only possible to recycle wastewater into high quality wate...

Outcome: Phytochemical investigation of Cyperus rotundus tubers resulted in isolation of four phytoconstituents characterized as n-tritriacontan-16-one (1), Lup-12, 20 (29)-dien-3β-ol-3-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-2'-octadec-9"-eonate (2), npentadecanyl-9-octadecenoate (3) and n-tetradecanyl-n-octadec-9, 12-dienoate (4). Only compound 2 showed antimicrobial activity. Lup-12, 20 (29)-dien-3β-ol3-α-L-ar...
