Two New Macrocyclic Diaryl Ether Heptanoids from Boswellia ovalifoliolata

In vitro micropropagation of Boswellia ovalifoliolata.

A protocol for micropropagation of Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal & Henry (Burseraceae) was developed using cotyledonary nodal explant on Murashige and Skoog modified medium (MS). A comparative study of micropropagation with 6-benzyladenine, kinetin and thidiazuron along with 1-naphthalene acetic acid (0.054 microM) was conducted. The highest shoot multiplication (7.1 +/- 0.2 shoots per node) was...

Role of Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal. Henry extract on high fat diet induced hypercholesterolemia

Objective: To evaluate the Antihypercholesterolemic effect of Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal. Henry extract by performing invivo studies and to checkout its effects by evaluating parameters like food consumption, weight gain, fecal fat excretion, serum and liver lipid &biochemical profiles. Even the study includes confirmation of activity by the histopathological studies. Methods: Animals were fe...

Evaluation of Antilipidperoxidation, Α-Amylase and Lipase Inhibitory Activity of Boswellia Ovalifoliolata Bal. Henry

The objective of the present study was to determine the antilipidperoxidation and in vitro α-amylase and lipase inhibitory activity of the Boswellia ovalifoliolata Bal Henry (BOB) extract. The polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, and tannins content of the extracts were estimated by spectrophotometry. Antioxidant activity on goat liver lipid peroxidation and linoleic acid was d...

Macrocyclic oligoureas with xanthene and diphenyl ether units.

Two cyclic oligoureas with 64- and 80-membered rings in which two sets of three or four rigid xanthene (X) units are connected via flexible diphenyl ether (D) units were synthesized by a stepwise fragment condensation. The compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. The structure of the cyclic octamer (XXXDXXXD) was additionally confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis...
