antinociceptive activity of trigonella foenum-graecum leaves and seeds (fabaceae)
Authors
abstract
present study reports analgesic activity of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of leaves and seeds of trigonella foenum-graecum linn. (fabaceae) using hot plate method for evaluation of central analgesic activity and acetic acid induced writhing test for evaluation of peripheral analgesic activity in mice. all the extracts of trigonella foenum-graecum showed significant central and peripheral analgesic activity at the dose of 50 mg/kg intraperitoneally. amongst all the extract methanolic extract of leaves of trigonella foenum-graecum showed highest increase in reaction time in hot plate method and more inhibitory effect on writhing induced by acetic acid. pentazocin and paracetamol was taken as standard drug for hot plate and writhing model respectively.

Petroleum ether, ethanol and water extracts of Trigonella foenum graecum seeds were investigated separately to determine their antiimplantation (antifertility) and estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity in female albino rats and Swiss mice. Among these, ethanol extract was found to be the most effective as antiimplantation and estrogenic agent. In preliminary phytochemical screening, ethanol extrac...

This study was undertaken to examine the antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The IC50 (The concentration of sample required to scavenge 50% of DPPH free radical) was calculated by plotting graph between % inhibition vs concentration. The Ascorbic acid was used as standard antioxidant in comparison to me...
full textEffects of Saponin from Trigonella Foenum-Graecum Seeds on Dyslipidemia
Background Saponins identified from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds are reported effective on dyslipidemia. However, the definite mechanism is still not elucidated systematically. In this study, we evaluate the effects of saponin extract on cholesterol absorption, metabolism, synthesis, and reverse cholesterol transport in vivo. Methods Saponin extract was prepared according to a ...
full textIn vitro estrogenic activities of fenugreek Trigonella foenum graecum seeds.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Trigonella foenum graecum commonly known as fenugreek, has been widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and Mediterranean countries for the edible and medicinal values of its seeds. Earlier reports show that fenugreek seeds provide a mastogenic effect resulting in enhanced breast size. However, very little is known about its estrogenic effect. The present study investigated th...
full textΒ-Amylase from Starchless Seeds of Trigonella Foenum-Graecum and Its Localization in Germinating Seeds
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds do not contain starch as carbohydrate reserve. Synthesis of starch is initiated after germination. A β-amylase from ungerminated fenugreek seeds was purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme was purified 210 fold with specific activity of 732.59 units/mg. Mr of the denatured enzyme as determined from SDS-PAGE was 58 kD while that of...
