Diierent requirements for the representation of the factual knowledge for the use in mechanised reasoning systems are represented. In particular, we distinguish diier-ent types of knowledge: axioms, deenitions (for introducing concepts like \set" or \group") and theorems (for relating the concepts) for formulating concepts and their relationships, as well as proofs, examples and counterexamples...

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Andrographis echioides afforded two new 2'-oxygenated flavonoids (1) and (2), two new phenyl glycosides (3) and (4), along with 37 known structures. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by spectral analysis and chemical transformation studies. Among the isolated compounds, (1-2) and (6-19) were subjected into the examination for the...

Natural plant products have been widely used in controlling cancer with fewer or no side effects and the use of plant extracts as complementary to synthetic medicine is gaining increased popularity. Members of Andrographis plants possess important medicinal properties. In the present study, anti-cancerous properties of Andrographis nallamalayana (AN) were tested on A375 and B16F10 skin melanoma...

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of chronic administration of chloroform extract of Andrographis paniculata, known to possess some cardioprotective action, on endothelial dysfunction using isolated spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat thoracic aorta. Verapamil hydrochloride was used as a positive control to compare its effect on endothelial dysfunction to that of Andrographis...
