A series of extracts of valerian roots (Valeriana officinalis L.) was prepared with solvents of different polarity. Polar as well as nonpolar extracts were found to interact with adenosine A(1) receptors. While polar extracts activated A(1) receptors (partial agonistic activity), nonpolar extracts
Hairy root cultures of Valeriana officinalis var. sambucifolia were established by infection of sterile plantlets with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain R1601 The transformed roots were grown in 10 different, hormone-free liquid media and the isovaltrate, valtrate, didrovaltrate,
BACKGROUND
Valepotriates (epoxy iridoid esters) represent an important group of constituents that contribute to pharmacological effects for the genus Valeriana. Storage and extraction of valepotriates is a demanding task, as these compounds are thermolabile and unstable: even when decomposition
Four new diene valepotriates, sorbifolivaltrates A-D ( 1- 4), and the known compounds isovaltrate ( 5), valtrate ( 6), seneciovaltrate ( 7), valtrate hydrine B3 ( 8), and valtrate hydrine B7 ( 9), have been isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation of the cytotoxic hexanes and methyl ethyl ketone
The valepotriates isovaltrate and valtrate, and the essential oil compound valeranone caused a suppression of rhythmic contractions in a closed part of the guinea-pig ileum in-vivo. The same compounds and didrovaltrate relaxed potassium stimulated contractures and inhibited BaCl2 contractions in
Colchicin-treated tissue cultures of VALERIANA WALLICHII produced besides the known valepotriates homovaltrate, isovaltrate, valtrate, acevaltrate and didrovaltrate several unknown substances of diene-valepotriate structure. Nine genuine valepotriates and two degradation products were isolated and
Valepotriates, mainly isovaltrate and valtrate, have been separated and quantitatively estimated by reversed-phase HPLC in the leaves, flowers, stems and rhizomes of VALERIANA KILIMANDASCHARICA. The isovaltrate/valtrate concentration reaches a maximum of 5.89% in the leaves, 3.84% in the flowers,
The two herbal extracts valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) and St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.) were studied for their metabolic changes upon incubation with freshly prepared rat hepatocytes and subsequently analysed phytochemically as well as pharmacologically in vitro. Quantitative HPLC
