OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the crude extract of Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl (AE) on tumor growth and angiogenesis by utilizing a tumor model in which nude mice were implanted with cervical cancer cells containing human papillomavirus 16 DNA (HPV-16 DNA).
METHODS
The
Alcoholic extract of Acanthus ilicifolius (250,500 mg/kg b wt) was found to be effective against tumour progression and carcinogen induced skin papilloma formation in mice. The extract was found to be cytotoxic towards lung fibroblast (L-929) cells in 72 h MTT assay and the concentration required
Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. is commonly consumed with the aim of curing cancer, inflammatory conditions and skin diseases in traditional Thai medicine. It is known to contain various phytochemicals; however, very little is known about the effects of A. ebracteatus protein hydrolysate on
Four new 2-benzoxazolinone-type alkaloids (acanthosides A-D) along with three known ones were isolated from the roots of Acanthus ilicifolius. Their structures were established by detailed interpretation of one dimensional (1D)- and two dimensional (2D)-NMR as well as high-resolution electrospray
In vivo antinociceptive and in vitro radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of Acanthus hirsutus Boiss. aqueous extract were investigated to give a new insight into plant usage in traditional medicine. The extract showed significant antinociceptive activity in acetic acid-induced writhing test
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemopreventive efficacy of the Indian medicinal plant Acanthus ilicifolius L Acanthaceae in a transplantable Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing murine model.
METHODS
Male Swiss albino mice were divided into four groups: Group A was the untreated normal control;
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of the flower of Acanthus ilicifolius (A. ilicifolius).
METHODS
Antioxidant activity was determined as antiradical efficiency with diphenyl picrylhydrazil (DPPH) method and cytotoxic assay was undertaken using brine shrimp lethal
This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of Acanthus ilicifolius alkaloid A [4-hydroxy-2-benzoxazolone (HBOA)] and its acetylated derivatives including 4-acetoxy-2-benzoxazolone (TC-2) and 3-acetyl-4-acetoxy-2-benzoxazolone (TC-3) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4 )-induced liver
Acanthus ilicifolius L. has been used as a folk medicine in the treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis in China for a long time. Phenylethanoid glycosides are one of main components in A. ilicifolius L.AIM OF THE STUDY
The aim of present study was
BACKGROUND
32 plants, from which 30 are used in local traditional medicine - identified by interviews with the resident population - in the province of Uíge in northern Angola for the treatment of inflammation related disorders, were screened on different anti-inflammatory parameters. Three extracts
Glycosides of arylnaphthalene lignans having axial chirality were isolated from Acanthus mollis. Owing to the axial chirality, their structure, including absolute configuration, was determined by means of extensive spectroscopic data such as UV, IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectra, and computational
