Betula utilis, also known as Himalayan silver birch has been used as a traditional medicine for many health ailments like inflammatation, HIV, renal and bladder disorders as well as many cancers from ages. Here, we performed bio-guided fractionation of Betula utilis Bark (BUB), in which it was extracted in methanol and fractionated with hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform, n-butanol and water. Al...

(1) Background: In China and South Asia, Alstonia scholaris (Apocynaceae) is an important medicinal plant that has been historically used in traditional ethnopharmacy to treat infectious diseases. Although various pharmacological activities have been reported, the anti-lung cancer components of A. scholaris have not yet been identified. The objective of this study is to evaluate the active comp...

We evaluated the neuropharmacological profile of acetylated alphaand beta-amyrin (AcAMY) obtained by the acetylation of the isomeric mixture of alphaand beta-amyrin isolated from Protium heptaphyllum. Male Swiss mice were administered with AcAMY (2.5, 5, 10 and 25 mg/kg, i.p.), and anticonvulsant (pentylenetrazoleand pilocarpine-induced convulsions), sedative (barbiturate-induced sleep and open...

BACKGROUND The plant Launaea procumbens belongs to the family Asteraceae and traditionally used in the treatment rheumatism, kidney, liver dysfunctions and eye diseases. In the present study Phytochemical analysis and fractions of methanolic extract of L. procumbens leaves were tested in vitro for their cytotoxicity. OBJECTIVES Phytochemical analysis and cytotoxic activity of methanolic extra...

BACKGROUND Lycnophora pinaster is used by the traditional Brazilian medicine for the treatment of inflammations. Anti-inflammatory activity of Lycnophora pinaster was investigated for extracts, fractions, and isolated compounds of their aerial parts. The hexane extract (HE) provided α-amyrin, lupeol, mixture of α-amyrin and lupeol, mixture of 3-O-acetyl-lupeol and 3-O-acetyl-pseudotaraxasterol,...

The present investigation aims at assessing the hepatoprotective effect of triterpene fraction isolated from the stem bark of Wrightia tinctoria (containing lupeol, b -amyrin and b -sitosterol) on CCl 4 -induced hepatotoxicity in the rat. CCl 4 (1.5 mg/kg, i.p) is a potent hepatotoxic agent which causes peroxidative degeneration of membrane lipids with the potential outcome of fatt...

A structural analysis of phytochemical constituents present in the ethanolic extract Mangifera indica fresh leaves were investigated to assert presence bioactive compounds corresponding reported antioxidant, antibacterial, antihyperglycemic, antidiabetic and anthelmintics properties plant. Extraction was carried out on homogenised using conventional soxhlet apparatus, with ethanol chosen select...

Sarcostemma acidum (Roxb.) Voigt is a valuable medicinal plant to treat number of diseases in India. Four compounds were isolated from the whole S. acidum. The structures characterized as Friedelin (1), ?-amyrin (2), ?-sitosterol (3) and 4?-Carboxy-4?-methyl-5?-cholesta-8,24-dien-3?-ol (4) by extensive spectroscopic (NMR, FT-IR mass) analysis compared their spectral data with literature. vitro ...
