The research for innovative treatments against colon adenocarcinomas is still a great challenge. Acacia catechu Willd. heartwood extract (AC) has health-promoting qualities, especially at the gastrointestinal level. This study characterized AC for its catechins content and investigated the

This report describes the isolation and partial purification of novel triterpenoid saponins [Fraction 35 (F035)] and two pure biologically active derivatives (termed avicins D and G) from Acacia victoriae, an Australian desert tree of the Leguminosae family. F035 and the avicins markedly inhibited

Two new saponins named avicins D (1) and G (2) were isolated from the seed pods of the desert legume plant Acacia victoriae. The structures, elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR studies and by chemical means, were characterized as acacic acid-bearing oligosaccharides at C-3 and C-28 with a side chain linked

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of A ferruginea extract on Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) induced tumours in BALB/c mice. Experimental animals received A ferruginea extract (10 mg/ kg.b.wt) intraperitoneally for 14 consecutive days after DLA tumor challenge.

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of A. nilotica extract against Dalton's ascitic lymphoma (DAL) induced solid and ascitic tumors in BALB/c mice. Experimental animals received A. nilotica extract (10 mg/kg.bw) intraperitoneally for 10 and 14 consecutive days before

Among the different types of biomaterials, natural excipients gum acacia (GA) is economic and has the potential for controlled drug delivery. We have synthesized GA microspheres by co-precipitation method and characterized them by XRD, FESEM, ¹H NMR, FTIR, UV visible spectra and DLS.

Acacia ferruginea extract (AFE) was studied for anti-metastasis/-angiogenesis activity against B16F-10 melanoma cells in C57BL/6 mice. In vitro cytotoxicity of AFE was first screened using MTT assay and it was shown to inhibit B16F-10 cells with IC50 value of 52.94 μg/ml. Anti-metastatic activity of

BACKGROUND Despite the significant developments occurring in the treatment of cancer, it still remains the second deadly disease, responsible for 8.2 million deaths every year. Various natural substances have been studied for active molecules of tumor suppression in the past and the tropical flora,

The present study was designed to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of A. seyal hydroethanolic extract on breast cancer. The cytotoxicity of A. seyal extract was evaluated using resazurin reduction assay in 9 cell lines. Further, the protective effect of the hydroethanolic extract

Acacia hydaspica R. Parker is known for its medicinal uses in multiple ailments. In this study, we performed bioassay-guided fractionation of cytotoxic compounds from A. hydaspica and investigated their effects on growth and signaling activity in prostate and breast cancer cell lines. Four active

New naturally occurring spirostane saponin (25S)-5β-spirostan-3β-yl-3-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1 → 3)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1 → 4)-β-D-galactopyranoside (6) and biflavonoid glycoside myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (C7-O-C7) myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (4) along with a series of known compounds erythrodiol (1),

The extracts of Scutellaria baicalensis and Acacia catechu have been shown in previous studies to alleviate joint discomfort, reduce stiffness, and improve mobility by reducing the production of proinflammatory molecules over long periods of supplementation. The acute effects of intake of these
