kaurenoic acid/edema

Kaurenoic acid, a diterpene from Copaifera langsdorffii (Leguminaceae), was evaluated on rat colitis induced by acetic acid. Rats were pretreated orally (15 and 2 h before) or rectally 2 h before induction of colitis with kaurenoic acid (50 and 100 mg/kg) or vehicle (1 ml, 3% DMSO). Colitis was

This study investigates the anti-inflammatory effects of a diterpenoid, kaurenoic acid, isolated from the root of Aralia continentalis (Araliaceae). To determine its anti-inflammatory effects, LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with different concentrations of kaurenoic acid and

BACKGROUND The aerial parts of Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski (Asteraceae) are popularly used to treat topical inflammation, but have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE To identify polar compounds in S. trilobata extracts and develop a new topical phytomedicine based on the kaurenoic acid

To assess the anti-inflammatory activity of the constituents of the roots of Aralia continentalis, ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene-19-oic acid (continentalic acid, pimaradienoic acid, compound I), 7beta-hydroxy-ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene-19-oic acid (compound II), 7-oxo-ent-pimara-8(14),15-diene-19-oic

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGYCAL RELEVANCE: The tea from the leaves of Baccharis illinita DC (Asteraceae family) is commonly used by the population as anti-inflammatory (including topically), protective gastric and anti-infectious. However, no studies have been done with this species to confirm its topical
