Sesquiterpene lactone! a promising antioxidant, anticancer and moderate antinociceptive agent from Artemisia macrocephala jacquem
BACKGROUND Sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) make a diverse and huge group of bio-active constituents that have been isolated from several plant families. However, the greatest numbers are present in Asteraceae family having more than 3000 different reported structures. Recently several researchers have reported that STLs have significant antioxidant and anticancer potentials. METHODS To investig...
متن کاملPreliminary Phytochemical Screening and Antispasmodic Activity of Artemisia macrocephala Jacquem
The current work describes the antispasmodic action of Artemisia macrocephala, which is achieved via blocking of the calcium channels. This explains its traditional use as an antispasmodic.The crude methanolic extract of A. macrocephala was studied for possible relaxant effect(s) on spontaneous rabbits' jejunum preparations. Analytical-grade chemicals were used in the experimental protocols. A....
متن کاملA new sesquiterpene lactone from Artemisia rubripes nakai.
The chromatographic separation of a methylene chloride extract of Artemisia rubripes led to the isolation of a new sesquiterpene lactone (3), together with four known compounds, a coumarin (2) and three terpenes (1, 4, and 5). Their structures were characterized to be 1beta,6alpha-dihydroxy-4(15)-eudesmene (1), scopoletin (2), 1alpha,4beta-dihydroxy-8alpha-acetoxy-guaia-2,10(14), 11(13)-triene-...
متن کاملSalograviolide A: A Plant-Derived Sesquiterpene Lactone with Promising Anti-Inflammatory and Anticancer Effects
Natural products are chemical substances produced by living organisms of the Biota superdomain, namely plants, animals, fungi and bacteria (G. & C. Merriam Co., 1913). Up to 80% of all drugs discovered prior to 1981 and 50% of all approved drugs between the years 1994 and 2007 are of natural product origin (Harvey, 2008). The contribution of natural products derived from plants, particularly to...
متن کاملAntioxidant and relaxant activity of fractions of crude methanol extract and essential oil of Artemisia macrocephala jacquem
BACKGROUND The current work is an attempt to know about additional chemical profile of Artemisia macrocephala. Antioxidant activity is performed as the plant is reported to contain flavonoids, which have antioxidant activity in general. Relaxant activity of fractions of crude methanol extract is performed to know in which fraction(s) the relaxant constituents concentrate as we have already repo...
