dahlia pinnata/necrosis

In a search for natural products with activity to overcome tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-resistance, we performed the bioassay-guided fractionation of a semi mangrove, Pongamia pinnata, collected from Bangladesh, and isolated a new compound,

Pongamia pinnata is a plant known for its therapeutic usage in Indian traditional medicine. Despite the controversy regarding toxic flavonoid and erucic acid content, the seed of this plant is consumed in tribal medicine and its oil is used in Ayurveda to treat psoriasis and arthritis. This study

The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of cycloart-23-ene-3beta, 25-diol (called as B2) isolated from stem bark of Pongamia pinnata in streptozotocin-nicotinamide induced diabetic mice. Diabetes was induced in mice by injecting streptozotocin (200mg/kg, i.p.)

Ethanolic extract of flowers of Pongamia pinnata was studied for its protective effect against cisplatin and gentamicin induced renal injury in rats. When the extract (300 & 600 mg kg(-1)) was administered orally for 10 days following cisplatin (5 mg kg(-1) i.p.) on day 5, toxicity of cisplatin, as

Pongamia pinnata (Linn.) Pierre has anti-inflammatory activity and could significantly decrease serum tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-10 in arthritic rats. Previous research indicated the typical chemical constituent in P. pinnata is furanoflavone. Guided by anti-inflammatory active assay and

The search for new plant-based anti-inflammatory drugs continues in order to overcome the detrimental side effects of conventional anti-inflammatory agents, both steroidal and nonsteroidal. This study involves the quinoline SPE2, 7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinolin-2(1 H)-one, isolated from the EtOAc

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Cancer represents a major health burden and drain on the global healthcare systems. Traditional African medicine widely use a variety of plant species for treatment of different kinds of cancer. A previous

This study evaluates the effects of phyto-derived zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on human cancer cells, colon carcinoma HCT 116, and chronic myelogenous leukemic K562, along with normal lymphocytes/erythrocytes. The commercial, chemically synthesized ZnONPs (cZnONPs) were also assessed in

The molecular mechanisms responsible for selenium (Se) tolerance and hyperaccumulation were studied in the Se hyperaccumulator Stanleya pinnata (Brassicaceae) by comparing it with the related secondary Se accumulator Stanleya albescens using a combination of physiological, structural, genomic, and

Cytokines involved in pathogenesis of psoriasis such as interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, IL-22, IL-23), interferon-α, tumor necrosis factor-α and interferon-γ can also become therapeutic targets. Research currently uses murine models of imiquimod-induced psoriatic-type dermatitis in order to

BACKGROUND Pinnatane A from the bark of Walsura pinnata was investigated for its anti-cancer properties by analyzing the cytotoxic activities and cell cycle arrest mechanism induced in two different liver cancer cell lines. METHODS A 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide

Kalanchoe brasiliensis and Kalanchoe pinnata are used interchangeably in traditional medicine for treating peptic ulcers and inflammatory problems. In this context, this study aims to characterize the chemical constituents and evaluate the gastroprotective activity of the leaf juices of the two

Dahlia is an important ornamental crop in the Czech Republic where they have been grown for more than 150 years. New dahlia cultivars have been selected by Czech plant breeders. Virus diseases, including mosaic and stunt caused mostly by Dahlia mosaic virus, have been a problem. From 2003 to 2005,

BACKGROUND Snakebite envenomation causes 5000-10,000 mortalities and results in more than 5-15,000 amputations in sub-Saharan Africa alone every year. The inaccessibility of antiserum therapy is a vast problem, and only about 2.5% of the actual need for antiserum in Africa is covered. Numerous
