The antimutagenic activity of a methanol extract of Cassia tora seeds against aflatoxin B1(AFB1) was demonstrated with the Salmonella typhimurium assay. The numbers of revertants per plate decreased significantly when this extract was added to the assay system using Salmonella typhimurium TA100
A methanol extract of Cassia tora seeds was successively partitioned with diethyl ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and water, and the antitumor-promoting activity of the solvent fractions was determined by inhibition of Epstein- Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation induced by teleocidin B-4
Three anthraquinone glycosides, gluco-obtusifolin [11], gluco-chryso-obtusin [15], and gluco-aurantioobtusin [13], were found to be platelet anti-aggregatory constituents of seeds of Cassia obtusifolia. Various other anthraquinone analogues were also tested, and their structure-activity
The purpose of the present study is to find the natural compound(s) having a therapeutic potential to treat lung inflammatory disorders. In our screening procedure, the methanol extract of the seeds of Cassia obtusifolia (cassiae semen) inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase-catalyzed nitric
