Previous studies have established the gastroprotective, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic effects of trans-dehydrocrotonin (t-DCTN), a major diterpene isolated from the Amazon medicinal plant Croton cajucara. This study aims to examine the potential effects of t-DCTN on hemodynamic parameters that
OBJECTIVE
The effects of rel-(1S,4aS,7S,8aS)-7-(1-vinyl)-tetradecahydro-1,4a-dimethylphenanthrene-7,8a-carbolactone-1-carboxylic acid (TCCA), a new ent-kaurene diterpene isolated from Croton argyrophylloides, on rat tracheal preparations were investigated.

The effects of essential oil of Croton nepetaefolius (EOCN) on guinea-pig-isolated ileum were studied. We previously demonstrated that EOCN induced reversible relaxation of ileal tone artificially increased by high [K(+)] nutrient solution. This study aimed to elucidate whether these effects were
