The effect of ternatin, a tetramethoxyflavone from Egletes viscosa Less., on liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) was investigated in rats. Twenty-four hours following CCl4 insult (2.5 ml/kg s.c.), changes in the serum enzymes, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and
Ternatin, the 4',5-dihydroxy-3,3',7,8-tetramethoxyflavone from Egletes viscosa L. (Asteraceae) was evaluated for its antiperoxidative effect against lipid peroxidation using CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity and adriamycin-induced hind-paw edema in mice as test models. An increase of melondialdehyde
Ternatin, a tetramethoxy flavone isolated from Egletes viscosa Less (Compositae), was tested for its efficacy in modulating mouse passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and rat carrageenan-induced pleurisy. Ternatin (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg, ip) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of IgG antibody-mediated
The study was designed to verify the gastroprotective and antidiarrhoeal effects of ternatin, tetramethoxyflavone isolated from Egletes viscosa Less. The gastroprotective function of ternatin was evaluated in rats against gastric mucosal damage induced by hypothermic restraint stress, absolute
Aflatoxin B1, a metabolite of Aspergillus flavus is a potent hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic mycotoxin. Lipid peroxidation and oxidative DNA damage are the principal manifestations of aflatoxin B1-induced toxicity which could be mitigated by antioxidants. Many plant constituents, e.g. flavonoids,
Egletes viscosa (L.) Less (Asteraceae) is a tropical aromatic herb whose flower buds are used for gastrointestinal disorders. Its gastroprotective properties have been attributed to the flavonoid ternatin and the furan diterpenes tanabalin and centipedic acid. The aim of this study was to develop a
To compare the classical uroprotective efficacy of mesna (2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid) with ternatin (flavonoid isolated from Egletes viscosa Less.) in cyclophosphamide (CYP) and ifosfamide (IFS) induced hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Male Wistar rats received an intraperitoneal injection of saline,
Ternatin, an anti-inflammatory flavonoid from Egletes viscosa Less., was examined for its possible influence on thioglycolate-elicited neutrophil influx into the rat peritoneal cavity in vivo and nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages ex vivo. The
The steam volatile components from the hexane extract of dried flower buds of Egletes viscosa were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as trans-carvyl acetate, cis-carvyl acetate, sabinyl acetate, verbenyl acetate, cyclopentaethylidene, geranyl acetate and 5-methylfuranone, and
Ten compounds derived from plants indigenous to Northeast Brazil were examined for antiproliferative effects on human cells in vitro. The effects of these phytochemicals on cell growth were determined by the MTT microtitre assay with 3-day continuous drug exposure. Three human cell lines were used:
