In this study we evaluated the anti-adrenergic response elicited by ayanin, a flavonoid compound isolated from Croton schiedeanus Schlecht, in the pithed rat, and the inhibitory effect of NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and its acute toxicity profile in mice. In

Proanthocyanidins are condensed tannins present in fruits, vegetables, and flowers, consumed in the human diet. These compounds are believed to decrease coronary heart disease. The present study was designed to investigate the relaxing effects of a proanthocyanidin-rich fraction (PRF) obtained from

In a previous study, we demonstrated the antinociceptive effect of 63SF, a proanthocyanidin-rich fraction obtained from Croton celtidifolius barks, in chemical and thermal behavioural models of pain in mice. The current study now investigate the possible mechanisms underlying the antinociceptive

The present study investigates the mechanisms related to the endogenous nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation in the relaxant effects of a proanthocyanidin-rich fraction (PRF), obtained from Croton celtidifolius Baill barks, in rat thoracic aorta rings with endothelium. In vessels pre-contracted

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

The vasorelaxant profile of quercetin 3,7-dimethyl ether, a flavonoid isolated from Croton schiedeanus Schlecht (Euphorbiaceae), was assessed in aortic rings isolated from Wistar rats. To gain insight into its structure-activity relationship, we compared this substance with quercetin

Croton reflexifolius H. B. K (Euphorbiaceae) is a very common medicinal plant in the Huastecan region of Mexico that, according to local folk medicine, is considered useful in the treatment of gastritis and gastric ulcer. We have aimed to test the validity of this practice by using the experimental
