OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the clinical and immunomodulatory efficacy of seed extracts from sucupira branca (Pterodon pubescens Benth.), a Brazilian anti-inflammatory folk medicine, against collagen II (CII)-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice.
METHODS
Mice were divided into 3 groups: 1) normal control mice
The antiarthritic effect of a hydroalcohol extract of Pterodon pubescens (HEPp) seeds was tested using collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in DBA1/J mice treated with daily oral doses of HEPp in different schedules. The preventive treatment significantly reduced both the arthritic index (AI) and the
When the immune system is stimulated there is a concomitant decrease in drug biotransformation and elimination that may results in unwanted drug response and toxic side effects. We investigated the subacute toxicity of a hydroalcoholic extract of Pterodon pubescens seeds (HEPp) to DBA1/J mice with
UNASSIGNED
The oil obtained from the fruits of Pterodon emarginatus Vog. (OPe) is used orally and topically, in traditional medicine for some purposes, such as acute and chronic inflammatory states as rheumatoid arthritis.
METHODS
In this work, the anti-inflammatory activity of the OPe was
Plant-derived compounds are important sources of effective anti-cancer agents. Pterodon pubescens is a native Brazilian plant popularly known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. The ethanolic extract of its seeds (EEPp) is a viscous, brown and fragrant oil containing
The anti-arthritic property of hydro alcoholic extract of Pterodon pubescens seeds was previously demonstrated using the Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA) in mice, the most similar arthritis experimental model to human rheumatoid arthritis. This disease is characterized by chronic inflamed joints
We previously demonstrated that alcoholic extracts from Pterodon pubescens Benth. (Sucupira branca, Leguminosae) seeds exhibit anti-arthritic activity. In the present work we show that the oleaginous extract obtained from P. pubescens seeds (OEP) exhibits acute or topic anti-edematogenic activity
The oil of Pterodon pubescens seeds (PpSO) is known for its cercaricidal and anti-inflammatory effects. Its anti-rheumatic activity was recently reported using mice with collagen II-induced arthritis treated with a hydroalcoholic extract of PpSO, mimicking the wine infusion used in popular medicine.
Fruits of Pterodon pubescens Benth have been used traditionally for the treatment of rheumatism, sore throat, and respiratory disorders, and also as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, depurative, tonic, and hypoglycemic agent. The study was aimed at evaluating the anti-inflammatory activity of the hexane
We have previously demonstrated that the hydroalcoholic extract from Pterodon pubescens Benth. seeds (sucupira branca, Leguminosae) exhibits anti-arthritic activity and that its oleaginous extract (OEP) and PF1 fraction exhibit acute and topic anti-edematogenic activities. In this work, we studied
