چکیده

Kaempferol-3-O-gentiobioside, the major flavonoid glycoside in Indonesian Cassia alata was quantified in various parts of the plant. The mature leaf was found to contain the highest content of this metabolite. A decrease of the flavonoid content in the juvenile leaf during the period of October through December was also observed. The contents ranged from 2.0 to 5.0% and 1.0 to 4.0% in mature and juvenile leaves, respectively. The other parts studied were flower (sepal and petal), rachis, stem and seed. Kaempferol-3-O-gentiobioside was not detected in the seed.

A stabilized flavonoid glycoside in heat-treated Cassia alata leaves and its structural elucidation.

Heat-treated leaves of Cassia alata were studied for any change in chemical constituents using sun dried leaves as the reference standard. A high concentration of a constituent was observed in the heat-treated leaves. Spectroscopic studies revealed the structure of the constituent as kaempferol 3-gentiobioside, which has not yet been detected in the Cassia species. In a stability study disappea...

Antiinflammatory activity of heat-treated Cassia alata leaf extract and its flavonoid glycoside.

Antiinflammatory activities of heat-treated Cassia alata leaf extract and kaempferol 3-O-gentiobioside (K3G) isolated from C. alata as an abundant flavonoid glycoside were studied by comparing their activities with the activities of sun-dried C. alata leaf extract. We observed strong inhibitory effects on Concanavalin A-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal exudate cells both in the ext...

Cassia alata leaf extract induces cytotoxicity in A549 lung cancer cells via a mechanism that is caspase 8 dependent.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cytotoxic effect of a hexane extract of Cassia alata leaves in A549 lung cancer cells. METHOD Parental A549 lung cancer cells were exposed to various concentrations (100-180 microg/ml) of Cassia alata leaf extract for 24 hours. Following treatment, the cells were evaluated using the 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay to determi...

Bioguided Fractionation Shows Cassia alata Extract to Inhibit Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Growth and Biofilm Formation

Plant extracts have a long history to be used in folk medicine. Cassia alata extracts are known to exert antibacterial activity but details on compounds and mechanism of action remain poorly explored. We purified and concentrated the aqueous leaf extract of C. alata by reverse phase-solid phase extraction and screened the resulting CaRP extract for antimicrobial activity. CaRP extract exhibited...

Determination of pharmacologically active compounds in root extracts of Cassia alata L. by use of high performance liquid chromatography.

A simple high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of six phenolic compounds, five anthraquinones (rhein, aloe-emodin, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion) and a flavonoid (kaempferol), in root extracts from Cassia alata L. Solid-phase extraction, using C(18) cartridges, was used to remove interfering substances from the root extracts. ...
