The pectic polysaccharide named rauvolfian RS was obtained from the dried callus of Rauvolfia serpentina L. by extraction with 0.7% aqueous ammonium oxalate. Crude rauvolfian RS was purified using membrane ultrafiltration to yield the purified rauvolfian RSP in addition to glucan as admixture from
Five new peraksine derivatives rauvomine C-G (1-5) along with four known analogues (6-9) were isolated from the stems of Rauvolfia vomitoria Afzel. (Apocynaceae). Structural determinations of the new monoterpene indole alkaloids were elucidated via comprehensive spectroscopic analyses and ECD
OBJECTIVE
To assess the in-vitro antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory activity of orally administered different extracts (Hydro-alcoholic, methanolic, ethyl acetate and hexane) of Rauvolfia tetraphylla (R. tetraphylla) root bark in Carrageenan induced acute inflammation in
A boiling water extract from a mixture of Alstonia boonei and Rauvolfia vomitoria root barks and Elaeis guineensis nuts without pericarp was tested for its antiinflammatory activity by measuring over a period of 17 days the changes in rat ankle diameter caused by subplantar injection of complete
A boiling water extract from a powdered sample containing Alstonia boonei root bark (90%) Rauvolfia vomitoria root bark (5%) and Elaeis guineensis nut without pericarp (5%) was tested intraperitoneally for its antiinflammatory activity by measuring rat hindpaw edema induced by the subplantar
alpha-Amyrin palmitate, present in a Ghanaian antiarthritic herbal preparation of Alstonia boonei, Elaies guineensis and Rauvolfia vomitoria, was synthesised and tested on complete Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritic rats. Administered orally at 56 mg/kg body weight (BW) daily for 8 days from days
Arbutin is a hydroquinone glucoside compound existing in various plants. It is widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries owing to its well-known skin-lightening property as well as anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory activities. Currently, arbutin is usually produced by
The therapeutic potential of pectic polysaccharides extracted from Rauvolfia verticillata (Lour.) Baill. var. hainanensis Tsiang in ulcerative colitis were investigated. This study showed that pectic polysaccharides extracted from Rauvolfia verticillata (Lour.) Baill. var. hainanensis Tsiang
BACKGROUND
Rauvolfia serpentina (L). Benth. ex Kurz. (Apocynaceae) possessing antibacterial properties are widely used in modern herbal medicines. Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae), a readily available antiseptic, possess antioxidant, antibacterial, blood purifying and antiinflammatory properties and
Targeting on the IKKβ to discover anti-inflammatory drugs has been launched for ten years, due to its predominant role in canonical NF-κB signaling. In the current study, we identified a novel IKKβ inhibitor, ellipticine (ELL), an alkaloid isolated from Ochrosia elliptica and Rauvolfia sandwicensis.
Two unusual normonoterpenoid indole alkaloids rauvomine A (1) and rauvomine B (2), together with two known compounds peraksine (3) and alstoyunine A (4), were isolated from the aerial parts of Rauvolfia vomitoria. The structures with absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were elucidated by
The family Apocynaceae is one of the largest and important families in angiosperm. Several members of this family have medicinal properties and have been in the treatment of various ailments. Most of them are consumed as food by tribal people whereas a few plants are used as source of poison.
