Microlenin, a novel dimeric sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Texas Helenium microcephalum, was shown to inhibit Ehrlich ascites carcinoma growth. Metabolic studies demonstrated that DNA synthesis and protein synthesis were significantly inhibited by two doses of microlenin at 5 mg/kg/day. DNA
Hymenoxon and helenalin are toxic sesquiterpene lactones present in the toxic range plants Hymenoxys odorata and Helenium microcephalum. Helenalin (25 mg/kg) or hymenoxon (30 mg/kg) administered to immature male ICR mice caused a rapid decrease in hepatic glutathione levels and were lethally toxic
Previously we have reported that several sesquiterpene lactones isolated from Helenium aromaticum and Telekia speciosa showed pro-oxidative properties and caused glutathione level depletion in rat liver in vivo. In the present study we examined the in vivo effect of these lactones on antioxidant
Our previous study showed that a methanol extract of Inula helenium had the potential to induce detoxifying enzymes such as quinone reductase (QR) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity. In this study the methanol extract was further fractionated using silica gel chromatography and vacuum
Our previous study showed that the methanolic extract of Inula helenium (elecampane) had the potential to induce detoxifying enzymes such as quinine reductase (QR) and glutathione S-transferase. In this study we further fractionated the methanolic extract into hexane-, dichloromethane-, butanol-,
Our previous study demonstrated that methanolic extract of Inula helenium (Elecampane) has the potential to induce detoxifying enzymes such as NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductase 1 (EC 1.6.99.2) (NQO1, QR) activity and glutathione S-transferase (GST) and found isoalantolactone and
