The antiinflammatory effects of ethanol and aqueous extracts from Drosera rotundifolia and from Drosera madagascariensis were compared in vivo in the HET-CAM assay. Both extracts from D. rotundifolia and the ethanol extract from D. madagascariensis showed remarkable efficacy at doses of 500
The worldwide cancer incidences are remarkable despite the advancement in cancer drug discovery field, highlighting the need for new therapies focusing on cancer cell and its microenvironment, including inflammation. Several species of Drosera (family: Droseraceae) are used in various traditional as
In investigations of the anti-inflammatory and spasmolytic effects of Drosera rotundifolia two extracts were tested in different in vitro assays. An aqueous and an ethanolic extract inhibited human neutrophil elastase, achieving IC50 values of 5 and 1 microg/mL, respectively. The very low
An ethanolic extract of Drosera madagascariensis inhibited human neutrophil elastase with an IC50 of 9.4 microg/ml. The naphthoquinones present in the extract were not responsible for this effect, but flavonoids like quercetin (IC50 0.8 microg/ml), hyperoside (IC50 0.15 microg/ml) and isoquercitrin
BACKGROUND
Several Northern Hemisphere Drosera species have been used in the therapy of respiratory tract infections as the traditional medicine Droserae Herba.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the anti-inflammatory effects of Drosera species and to investigate a substitute material for Droserae Herba, we
The accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) correlates with aging and accompanies the onset of age-related diseases, such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis. Therefore, a daily intake of natural compounds that inhibit the production of AGEs may be beneficial in preventing these
