The present study evaluates the anti-inflammatory and antigranuloma activity of CLHE in experimental models, viz. carrageenan-induced paw edema, subcutaneous cotton pellet implantation-induced granuloma formation, and complete Freund's adjuvant-induced stimulation of peritoneal macrophages in rats.
BACKGROUND
Colchicum luteum (CL) has been traditionally used in the Unani system of medicine as a chief ingredient of many polyherbal formulations for the treatment of joint pain and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the antiarthritic activity of CL hydroalcoholic extract (CLHE) in
Natural compounds played an important role for prevention and treatment of the disease as well as are the important compounds for the design of the new bioactive compounds. In this study, eight tropolone alkaloids were isolated from Colchicum kurdicum including colchicoside, 2-demethyl colchicine,
First identified by the Egyptians in 2640 BC, podagra (acute gout occurring in the first metatarsophalangeal joint) was later recognized by Hippocrates in the fifth century BC, who referred to it as 'the unwalkable disease'. The term is derived from the Latin word gutta (or 'drop'), and referred to
The purpose of this review article is to outline plants currently used and those with high promise for the development of anti-gout products. All relevant literature databases were searched up to 25 March 2013. The search terms were 'gout', 'gouty arthritis', 'hyperuricemia', 'uric acid', 'xanthine
CONCLUSIONS
The complete chloroplast genome of two colchicine medicinal plants is reported for the first time. Deletion of ycf 15 gene occurred only in Colchicum but not in Gloriosa and suggests this as a potential marker for delineating the two species. Colchicum autumnale L. and Gloriosa superba
Colchicine is a tricyclic, lipid-soluble alkaloid derived from the plant of the Lily family Colchicum autumnale, sometimes called the "autumn crocus". It is predominantly metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract. Two proteins, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and CYP3A4 seem to play a pivotal role, governing
Colchicine, an alkaloid found in extracts of the plants Colchicum autumnale and Gloriosa superb, is effective in the treatment of acute gout and dermatological conditions like leuko-cytoclastic vasculitis, psoriasis, and Sweet's syndrome. Oral administration of colchicine is associated with
Colchicum autumnale, from which colchicine has been isolated more than 100 years ago, has been used as a treatment for pain and swelling for thousands of years. It is one of the few drugs known from that time period whose use has survived to modernity. Over the past decades, advances in the
