The biological activity of Wercklea insignis (WI) in inflammation and the underlying mechanisms of action of extracts of this plant are largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of a WI methanolic extract on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation in the mouse macrophage
Experiments were performed using an anaesthetised rat model to investigate the local inflammatory responses produced by intradermal injections of crude venom gland extracts from a number of Australian spiders, namely, Phonognatha graeffei, Delena cancerides, Isopeda montana, Badumna insignis,
OBJECTIVE
Most people especially in rural areas depend on herbal medicines to treat many diseases including inflammation-related ailments such as rheumatism, muscle swelling, cut wound, accidental bone fracture, insect bites, pains and burn by fire and hot water. The objectives of this study were:
Experimental investigations have shown that water-alcohol extracts from plants containing alkaloids (Aconitum baikalense, Aconitum septentrionale, Delphinium elatum L., Conium maculatum) and salicylic acid (Filipendula ulmaria, Salix viminalis, Fragaria vesca, Rubus idaeus) inhibited the development
Chronic inflammation contributes to multiple ageing-related musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. More recently, chronic neuroinflammation has been attributed to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease and
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathophysiology of several health disorders, among others inflammation. Polyphenols may modulate ROS related disorders. In this work, thirty-two phenolic compounds were tentatively identified in a leaf extract from Eugenia supra-axillaris Spring. ex
Eight new lignin derivatives, termed quiquelignan A-H (1-8), comprising three tricin-type flavonolignans (1-3) and five 8-O-4' neolignans (4-8), were isolated from the ethanol extract of Calamus quiquesetinervius stems. Structural elucidation of the new isolates was accomplished on the basis of
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune, systemic disease mainly affecting joints. Presently, there is no specific treatment/ drug available for curing RA except few supportive medicines. Therefore, the focus has been diverted on medicinal plants for the treatment of such diseases. BACKGROUND
Acorus calamus (family: Araceae), is an indigenous plant, traditionally it is used as an ingredient of various cocktail preparations and for the management of severe inflammatory disorders in Indian system of medicine. Present study investigated the attenuating role of Acorus calamus
In folklore medicine, Acorus calamus has been used as a wound-healing agent for thousands of years; however, there have been few scientific reports on this activity so far. Now, we explored deeply the wound-healing effect of aqueous extracts from the fresh roots and rhizomes of A. calamus in vivo,
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Different plants are used for the treatment of various ailments and Acorus calamus L. is one such plant found in Western Himalaya. Rhizome of this plants has ethnomedicinal significance. An attempt has been
Eight new phenylpropanoid derivatives [quiquesetinerviusides A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), as well as quiquesetinerviusins A (6), B (7), and C (8)] and seven known compounds (8-15), were isolated from an EtOAc extract of Calamus quiquesetinervius stems. The structures of 1-8 were elucidated
BACKGROUND
Acorus calamus L., sweet flag, is a well-known medicinal plant that grows worldwide wildly along swamps, rivers, and lakes.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Acorus calamus leaf (ACL) extract and to explore its mechanism of action on human
The study investigates the protective effect of Acorus calamus L. (AC) in vincristine-induced painful neuropathy. Vincristine (75μg/kg, i.p. for 10 consecutive days) was administered to induce painful neuropathy in rats. Various tests were performed to assess the degree of painful neuropathy at
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a highly valued natural phenolic compound that is very commonly found in plants of the families Lamiaceae and Boraginaceae, including Coleus blumei, Heliotropium foertherianum, Rosmarinus officinalis, Perilla frutescens, and Salvia officinalis. RA is also found in other
