Hypoglycemic Activity of Aqueous Extracts from Catharanthus roseus
Introduction. Catharanthus roseus (L.) is used in some countries to treat diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity of extracts from the flower, leaf, stem, and root in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Methods. Roots, leaves, flowers, and stems were separated to obtain organic and aqueous extracts. The blood glucose lowering activity of these extracts wa...
متن کاملAdenine Phosphoribosyltransferase Activity in Mitochondria o f Catharanthus roseus Cells
Catharanthus roseus (= Vinca rosea), Adenine Phosphori bosyltransferase, Subcellular D istribution, Mitochondria, Purine Salvage Subcellular localization of adenine phosphoribosyltrans ferase was examined in Catharanthus roseus cells. At least 13% of the activity was observed in the particulate fraction with the rest observed in the cytosol. Both differential and Percoll density gradient cent...
متن کامل5-Methyltryptophan resistant cells of Catharanthus roseus.
Several cell lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan were selected from wild type cells of different Catharanthus roseus suspension cultures. The resistant cells had up to 30 times the normal levels of free tryptophan. Despite the increased pool size of tryptophan anthranilate synthetase activity of resistant cells was as sensitive to inhibition by L-tryptophan as wild type cells. The overproduct...
متن کاملThe seco-iridoid pathway from Catharanthus roseus
The (seco)iridoids and their derivatives, the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), form two large families of plant-derived bioactive compounds with a wide spectrum of high-value pharmacological and insect-repellent activities. Vinblastine and vincristine, MIAs used as anticancer drugs, are produced by Catharanthus roseus in extremely low levels, leading to high market prices and poor availab...
متن کاملAnalgesic and antipyretic activity of ethanolic extract of leaves of Catharanthus Roseus
The present study establishes the analgesic and anti-pyretic activities of the ethanolic extract of leaves of Catharanthus roseus in the models used. Since antipyretic and analgesic activities are commonly mentioned as characteristic of drugs or compounds which have an inhibitory effect on prostaglandin biosynthesis, the yeast induced hyperthermia in rat model was, therefore, employed to invest...
