Hiperurisemia merupakan suatu kondisi di mana terjadi peningkatan produksi kadar asam urat dalam tubuh. Penggunaan obat antihiperurisemia dapat menimbulkan efek samping, sehingga penggunaan tradisional dengan bahan alam digunakan sebagai alternatif pengobatan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pengembangan senyawa aktivitas penghambat xantin oksidase yang berasal dari tumbuhan samping lebih rendah. S...

BACKGROUND The objective of this review is to determine the effectiveness of Harpagophytum procumbens preparations in the treatment of various forms of musculoskeletal pain. METHODS Several databases and other sources were searched to identify randomized controlled trials, quasi-randomized controlled trials, and controlled clinical trials testing Harpagophytum preparations in adults suffering...

Similar host ranges were found for Heterodera schachtii and a race of H. trifolii parasitic on sugarbeet in The Netherlands. Twenty-nine of 41 plant accessions evaluated were susceptible to H. trifolii. Five breeding lines of the interspecific hybrid Beta vulgaris-B. procumbens which are resistant to H. schachtii were highly susceptible to H. trifolii. An accession of B. maritima with partial r...

Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroid, terpenoid, flavonoids, phlobatannin and cardie glycoside distribution in seven medicinal plants belonging to different families were assessed and compared. The medicinal plants investigated were Aegle marmelos, Cynodon dactylon, Eclipta prostrata, Moringa pterygosperma, Pongamia pinnata, Sida acuta and Tridax procumbens. The significance of the plants in t...

Background: Alternative materials for antibiotics used in white leg shrimp farming were extensively investigated. The promising effects of plant based extracts controlling aquaculture diseases has been reported elsewhere. This study was conducted to examine the effect Solanum procumbens Lour. extract on survival, growth performance, innate immunity and protection against acute hepatopancreas ne...

NIR-FT-Raman spectroscopy was used for identification and quantification of harpagoside in secondary roots of Harpagophytum procumbens as well as in related phytopharmaceutical products, e.g., ethanolic extracts and tablets. Applied Raman mappings reveal the spatial distribution of this valuable iridoid glycoside within the different samples. The same technique can be used for quality control p...

Two new flavones, 8,3'-dihydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxy-6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl flavone (1) and 6,8,3'-trihydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (2) were isolated from Tridax procumbens Linn., together with the four known compounds puerarin (3), esculetin (4), oleanolic acid (5) and betulinic acid (6). The structures of the two new flavones were elucidated based on chemical analysis and spectral methods (I...
