C-nor-D-homo-homologues of cannogenin and uzarigenin glycosides were isolated along with known cardenolide glycosides from the frozen fresh leaves of Thevetia neriifolia. A bisdesmosidic tetraoside of 3 beta,14,21-trihydroxy-5 beta,14 beta-pregnan-20-one was also obtained from the polar fraction and

Phytochemical analysis of Thevetia neriifolia seeds resulted in the isolation of one new (1) and 23 known (2－24) cardenolide glycosides. The structure of 1 was determined based on one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic analysis and acid hydrolytic cleavage

1 In cats intracerebroventricular administration of 5, 10, 20 mug of peruvoside, a cardiac glycoside obtained from the plant, Thevetia neriifolia, and 10 and 20 mug of ouabain, produced marked neurotoxicity. This was dose-related. 2 Prior administration reserpine (2 mg/kg i.m., 500 mug i.c.v.) or

BACKGROUND Consumption of yellow oleander (Cascabela thevetia) is a popular method of intentional self-harm in South India. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to identify the cardiac arrhythmias and electrolyte abnormalities in yellow oleander poisoning and to identify the association

1 Peruvoside, (a glycoside obtained from the plant, Thevetia neriifolia Juss) and ouabain produce emesis in cats. Vomiting is not produced by these drugs in animals pretreated with catecholamine depleting drugs like reserpine, tetrabenazine or syrosingopine. Chloropromazine hydrochloride, mepyramine

Thevetin B, a cardiac glycoside of Thevetia neriifolia Juss. seeds, was determined in serum by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Anti-digitoxin antibody was used, thevetin B genin being structurally identical to digitoxigenin. Cross-reactivity of 94% was found by this method, for concentrations

The immediate haemodynamic effects of peruvoside, a cardiac glycoside obtained from the Indian plant Thevetia neriifolia Juss, were studied in six patients with congestive heart failure. The drug was found to have an immediate and powerful positive inotropic and negative chronotropic effect, like

Yellow oleander (Thevetia neriifolia) is a commonly grown tree found widely in Eastern India. The seeds of yellow oleander are highly poisonous and contain three glycosides--thevetin, thevetoxin and peruvoside. Yellow oleander seed ingestion is usually with suicidal intent in Eastern India.

BACKGROUND Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K. Schum or Cascabela peruviana (L.) Lippold (commonly known as ayoyote, codo de fraile, lucky nut, or yellow oleander), native to Mexico and Central America, is a medicinal plant used traditionally to cure diseases like ulcers, scabies, hemorrhoids and dissolve
