alismol/alisma orientale

A new triterpenoid, named alisol Q 23-acetate, as well as fourteen known terpenes, alisol B 23-acetate (2), alisol B (3), alismol (4), 10-O-methyl-alismoxide (5), alismoxide (6), 11-deoxyalisol C (7), 13β,17β-epoxyalisol B 23-acetate (8), 4β,12-dihydroxyguaian-6,10-diene (9), alisol C 23-acetate

Effects of alismol, a sesquiterpenoid isolated from the rhyzome of Alisma orientale, on adrenergic mechanisms were examined in the isolated rabbit ear artery. Alismol (10(-6) to 10(-4) M) inhibited the contraction of isolated rabbit ear artery by electrical stimulation of the perivascular nerves.

Chemical composition and potent odorants that contribute to the characteristic odor of essential oil from Alismatis Rhizoma (tubers of Alisma orientale) were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), GC-olfactometry (GC-O), aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) and relative

A methanol extract (TMe-ext) from the dried rhizome of Alisma orientale was screened for anti-complementary activity in experimental models. In the animal models, it was found that TMe-ext inhibits zymosan-induced hind paw edema in rats and zymosan-activated rat serum (ZAS)-induced vascular

Triterpenes, which have large application potential in the treatment of cancer, are the main active components of genuine medicinal material Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep. Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) is one of the important rate-limiting enzymes in the synthetic pathway of triterpenes. In

Methanol and aqueous extracts (TMe-ext and TAq-ext) from dried rhizomes of Alisma orientale have been screened for activity in experimental models of type I-IV allergies. In the type III allergic model, TMe-ext at oral doses of 50, 200 mg/kg showed an inhibitory effect on the direct passive Arthus

The methanolic extract from a Chinese herbal medicine, the rhizome of Alisma orientale, was found to exhibit inhibitory activity of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)activated macrophages. Novel triterpenes, alismaketones-B 23-acetate and -C 23-acetate, were isolated from the

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly emerging hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. However, its unrevealed mechanism and complicated comorbidities have led to no specific medication, except for weight loss and lifestyle modification. Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is associated with the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis. Alisma orientale Juzepzuk is a traditional medicinal herb for diuretics, diabetes, hepatitis, and inflammation. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of methanol extract of the tuber of Alisma

The aqueous extract of the Chinese crude drug Alismatis rhizoma, a dried rhizome of Alisma orientale Juzepczuk, exhibited in vitro inhibitory activities on angiotensin II and arginine vasopressin binding to their receptors. A fractionation study on the extract clarified that the known terpenoidal
