A phytochemical study was conducted on the leaves of Phyllanthus reticulatus obtained from a riverside in Taman Negara Kuala Koh, Kelantan. The separations of the chemical components were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and structures of compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including nuclear magnetic resonance as well as mass spectrometry. Three compounds we...

A new lignan from the non-transformed root in vitro cultures of Phyllanthus amarus was isolated. The structure of the compound was established on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR, as well as mass spectrometry data, as 7'-oxocubebin dimethylether (1,4-bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2,3-bis(methoxymethyl)butan-1-on). The non-transformed root cultures of P. amarus showed to be a selective ...

We reported earlier on our preliminary study of the radioprotective effect of Phyllanthus amarus (P.amarus) in mice. P.amarus was found to inhibit the myelosuppression and elevated the levels of antioxidant enzymes in the blood and liver. In the present study we have evaluated the protective effect of P.amarus against radiation-induced changes in the intestine and mouse chromosomal damage. P.am...
