agnuside/vitex

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to elucidate the probable mechanism for the anti-arthritic activity of agnuside (AGN), a compound isolated from the leaf extract of Vitex negundo. METHODS The anti-inflammatory activity of AGN within a dose range of 1.56-12.50 mg/kg in normal and

A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection method was developed for the identification and quantification of p-hydroxy benzoic acid and agnuside in the extracts of Vitex negundo and Vitex trifolia. The separation was achieved using acetonitrile and O-phosphoric

Due to its important role in regulating angiogenesis, vascular homeostasis and remodeling, and arteriogenesis in blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, VEGFR2 stimulation has demonstrated promise in preclinical studies as an endovascular treatment for ischemic myocardial and peripheral

Five compounds have been isolated from the leaves of Vitex negundo Linn (Verbenacea) and their structures established by spectral analysis. Compound 1 has been identified and characterised as a new iridoid with a novel structure which has never before been reported in literature from Vitex or any

A high performance liquid chromatography combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry method was developed for the identification of phenolic compounds in Vitex negundo L. var. cannabifolia (Siebold et Zucc.) Hand.-Mazz. A total of 31 compounds (10 phenolic acids, 19 flavonoids, and 2

The extract of Viticis Fructus appeared to have an analgesic effect, and was subjected to activity-guided separation using acetic acid-induced writhing in mice. The active fraction gave new compounds, vitexfolin A (1A), B and C, 10-O-vanilloylaucubin (3), dihydrodehydrodiconiferylalcohol-beta-D-

A new iridoid, pedunculariside, together with the known iridoid agnuside were isolated from the butanol extract of Vitex peduncularis stem bark. Both pedunculariside and agnuside showed preferential inhibition of COX-2, with IC50 values of 0.15 +/- 0.21 mg/ml and 0.026 +/- 0.015 mg/ml respectively,

The methanolic extract of the flowering stems of Vitex agnus-castus yielded three new iridoids: 6'-O-foliamenthoylmussaenosidic acid (agnucastoside A), 6'-O-(6,7-dihydrofoliamenthoyl)mussaenosidic acid (agnucastoside B) and 7-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-6'-O-trans-caffeoyl-8-epiloganic acid (agnucastoside

A rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography diode array detector (UHPLC-DAD) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of all classes of non-volatile phytochemicals (iridoids, flavonoids and diterpenes) in Vitex agnus-castus (Lamiaceae) fruits, a traditional

As part of our continuing efforts in the search for potential biologically active compounds from medicinal plants, we have isolated 18 compounds including two novel nitrogen containing diterpenes from extracts of the fruits of Vitex agnus-castus. These isolates, along with our previously obtained

The aim of present study was to evaluate the qualities of chaste berry (fruit of Vitex agnus-castus L.) preparations using HPLC fingerprint analysis. Seven medicinal products 1 from Japan and 6 from Europe, and 17 health foods, 6 from Japan and 11 from the United States were analyzed. HPLC profile

Six new iridoid glucosides, 6'-O-trans-feruloylnegundoside (1), 6'-O-trans-caffeoylnegundoside (2), 2'-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl-6'-O-trans-caffeoylgardoside (3), 2'-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl-6'-O-trans-caffeoyl-8-epiloganic acid (4), 2'-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl gardoside (5), and 2'-O-p-hydroxybenzoyl-8-epiloganic

The ethanol extract of the fruits of Vitex rotundifolia (VRE) and its four major compounds (casticin, luteolin, rotundifuran and agnuside) were tested for their estrogen-like activity by using the modified cell proliferation assay (E-SCREEN assessment system), as well as the estrogen receptor

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the quality of 11 products sold in Japan (one medicinal product and 10 dietary supplements) containing/claiming to contain chasteberry extract (fruit of Vitex agnus-castus L.) using HPLC fingerprint (15 characteristic peaks), quantitative determination of chemical

Negundoside (1), agnuside (2) and 6'-p-hydroxy benzoyl mussaenosidic acid (3) are known bioactive metabolites in Vitex trifolia. In the present study a simple precise and reproducible method was developed for simultaneous quantitation of NS (1), AS (2) and HMA (3) and the antioxidant capacity of
