BACKGROUND
The hypoglycemic effect of root and rhizome aqueous decoction of Psacalium decompositum (Asteraceae), a medicinal herb from Mexico, has been experimentally demonstrated, leading to the identification of several hypoglycemic sesquiterpenoids, such as cacalol, and the mixture of
Psacalium decompositum was investigated for antihyperglycemic compounds using diabetic ob/ob mice as a model for type 2 diabetes. In vivo bioassay-guided fractionation of an aqueous extract from the roots of P. decompositum led to the isolation of two new eremophilanolides, 3-hydroxycacalolide (1a)
Psacalium decompositum (Gray) H.E. Rob. & Brett (Asteraceae), popularly known as "matarique," is a medicinal plant used in Mexico for the empirical treatment of diabetes mellitus. Previous studies with P. decompositum roots demonstrated that an aqueous fraction containing carbohydrates
The hypoglycemic activity of Psacalium decompositum (Asteraceae) was investigated in fasting healthy mice and alloxan-diabetic mice. The freeze-dried water decoction significantly reduced the blood glucose in normal mice (from 50.9 +/- 4.7 to 32.5 +/- 3.1 mg/dl) and in mild diabetic mice (from 208.5
BACKGROUND
Psacalium peltatum (H.B.K.) Cass. (Asteraceae) is used medicinally to treat diabetes, rheumatic pains, as well as gastrointestinal and kidney ailments. Previous pharmacological and chemical assays have demonstrated that an aqueous fraction from Psacalium peltatum (AP-fraction) contains a
A new ulopyranose isolated from aqueous extract of roots and rhizomas of Psacalium peltatum has been determined to have hypoglycemic activity at doses of 100 mg/kg, comparable to that of tolbutamide and insulin in alloxan diabetic mice. The skeletal structure of the new compound was established by
The hypoglycemic effect of the hexane, methanol and water extracts obtained from roots of Psacalium decompositum (Asteraceae) was investigated in fasting healthy mice. Only the water extract significantly reduced blood glucose in a dose-dependent manner in normal mice after intraperitoneal
The purpose of this work is to look for the hypoglycemic effect of 12 plants most used in Mexico for controlling diabetes mellitus. The studies were realized in 27 rabbits submitted weekly to glucose tolerance tests after gastric administration of water, tolbutamide or a preparation of the plant.
Psacalium decompositum, commonly known as "Matarique," is a medicinal plant used in Mexico for diabetes mellitus empirical therapy. Previous studies have shown that the fructooligosaccharides (FOS) present in the roots of this plant exhibit a notable hypoglycemic effect in animal models; this effect
Cacalolides are a kind of sesquiterpenoids natural compounds synthesized by Psacalium decompositum (A. Gray) H. Rob. & Brettell or Psacalium peltatum (Kunth) Cass. Antioxidant and hypoglycemic effects have been found for cacalolides such as cacalol, cacalone or maturine, however,
To assess the hypoglycemic activity mechanism of some plants used empirically by the Mexican population as antidiabetics, traditional preparations of Cucurbita ficifolia, Guaiacum coulteri, Lepechinia caulescens, and Psacalium peltatum, water, tolbutamide, and Regular Insulin were administered to
The purpose of this research was to study the anti-hyperglycemic effect of Psacalium peltatum, a folk medicinal plant used in treatment of diabetes mellitus. This plant was processed in the traditional way (water decoction) and administered i.p. to normoglycemic and diabetic mice. Hexane,
A decoction from roots and rhizomes of Psacalium palladium is used in Mexico for the treatment of tumors and for control of diabetes mellitus, among other ailments. Although hypoglycemic activity has been demonstrated in various experimental models and some compounds have been detected in the roots
