In the present study, apoptotic, antioxidant and antiradical effects of majdine and isomajdine from Vinca herbacea Waldst. and Kit were studied. For testing the possible apoptotic effects of majdine and isomajdine from V. herbacea, DNA fragmentation assay was conducted on the rat brain cortical
The protective role of leaf antioxidant systems in the mechanism of plant acclimation to growth irradiance was studied in Vinca major, Schefflera arboricola, and Mahonia repens, which were grown for several months at 20, 100, and 1200 [mu]mol photons m-2 s-1. As growth irradiance increased, several
In the present study aqueous extract of Piper nigrum seeds and Vinca rosea flowers were administered orally to alloxan induced diabetic rats once a day for 4 weeks. These treatments lead to significant lowering of blood sugar level and reduction in serum lipids. The levels of antioxidant enzymes,
The present study was designed to investigate the non-alkaloid compounds from the leaves and stems of Vinca major cultivated in Yunnan Province, China. The compounds were isolated using chromatographic techniques. The structures were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic methods in combination
The current research was performed to evaluate the effect of Bacillus megaterium MCR-8 on mitigation of nickel (Ni) stress in Vinca rosea grown on Ni-contaminated soil (50, 100, and 200 mg Ni kg-1 soil). The treated plants exhibited reduced growth, biomass, gas exchange capacity, and chlorophyll
Various active compounds (or their semi-synthetic derivatives) derived from medicinal plants have been assessed for their efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of breast cancer. Some of these plant species, including Taxus baccata (paclitaxel, docetaxel), Podophyllum peltatum (etoposide),
A liquid chromatographic method is described for separating and determining vinblastine, vincristine and vindesine in plasma and urine. The drugs are extracted from the biological material using an ion-pair extraction, with sodium octylsulphate as counter-ion at pH 3. The extracts are injected on a
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to screen endophytic fungi isolated from Vinca rosea for their potential to produce acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors.
RESULTS
Endophytic fungi isolated from V. rosea (Catharanthus roseus), were screened for AChE inhibitor production using Ellman's method.
