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
The present study evaluated some of the mechanisms through which alpha-amyrin, a pentacyclic triterpene isolated from Protium Kleinii and other plants, exerts its effects against 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-acetate (TPA)-induced skin inflammation in mice. Topical application of alpha-amyrin (0.1-1
BACKGROUND
Alstonia boonei De Wild (Apocyanaceae) is used in ethnomedicine for the management of malaria, ulcer, rhematic pain, toothache, and inflammatory disorders.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of β-amyrin and α-amyrin acetate isolated from the stem bark of Alstonia
BACKGROUND
T helper 17 (Th17) cells, which are differentiated from CD4
+ T cells, drive
inflammation, leading to autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Therefore, inhibiting Th17 polarization could be a therapeutic
:Machaerium hirtum (Vell.) Stellfeld (Fabaceae) known in Brazil as "jacaranda de espinho" or "espinheira santa nativa" is a medicinal plant commonly used in folk medicine to treat ulcers, cough and diarrhea. This study aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and
The aqueous and organic extracts of Acacia visco Lor. Ap Griseb (Fabaceae) were tested for anti-inflammatory activity in experimental models in rat. Besides, the free-radical scavenging capacity of extracts from A. visco was determined. The extracts revealed anti-inflammatory effect against
The unsaponifiable fraction of olive oil from unripe fruits of Olea europaea at different stages of maturation (from 20 to 32 weeks after flowering) was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in order to select the time associated to the unsaponifiable fraction with the maximal yield in
The mixture of the two pentacyclic triterpenes alpha-amyrin and beta-amyrin, isolated from the resin of Protium kleinii and given by intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral (p.o.) routes, caused dose-related and significant antinociception against the visceral pain in mice produced by i.p. injection of
The ursane triterpenoid alpha-amyrin and the lupane triterpenoid lupeol are potent inhibitors of the catalytic subunit (cAK) of rat liver cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) with IC50 values of 8 and 5 microM, respectively. The palmitate and linoleate esters of alpha-amyrin and lupeol are also
Phytochemical studies on the ethanolic extract of aerial parts of Alstoniascholaris lead to the isolation of two new triterpenoid of the lanostanetype,lanosta 5ene,24-ethyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside(1), lanosta,5ene,24-ethyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosideester(2)and new ursane type triterpenoidmethylester,
Bursera simaruba (L.) Sarg. leaves hexane extracts display anti-inflammatory activity on the adjuvant-carrageenan-induced inflammation in rats. In order to isolate and identify the active compounds of the hexane extract, we performed a preliminary phytochemical study and a bioassay-directed
BACKGROUND
Lycnophora pinaster is used by the traditional Brazilian medicine for the treatment of inflammations. Anti-inflammatory activity of Lycnophora pinaster was investigated for extracts, fractions, and isolated compounds of their aerial parts. The hexane extract (HE) provided α-amyrin,
Terpenes in general and triterpenes in particular showed anti-inflammatory activity and act as immunomodulators in nutraceutical agents. Antiinflammation, a useful and attractive approach in experimental oncology, helps to investigate the inflammation preventive potential of natural products and
To isolate compounds with anti-inflammatory activity from Bursera cuneata by a bioassay-guided fractionation.Three extracts of different polarities were elaborated by maceration. These extracts were assayed for their inhibitory effects on phorbol ester Protium kleinii (Burseraceae), a native Brazilian medicinal plant is claimed to be useful to treat some inflammatory states. Now we reported that topical application of either the ether extract or the main active constituent from P. kleinii the pentacyclic triterpene alpha-amyrin, all caused a
