Alterations in the neoplastic activity of cyclophosphamide (CPA) by the extract of Alstonia scholaris(ASE) were studied in mice transplanted with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). The tumor-bearing animals were injected with various doses of ASE and 25 mg/kg of CPA (1/10th of the LD50 dose). The

The chemomodulatory activity of Alstonia scholaris extract (ASE) was studied in combination with berberine hydrochloride (BCL), a topoisomerase inhibitor, in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma-bearing mice. The tumor-bearing animals were injected with various doses of ASE, and 8 mg/kg of BCL (one-fifth of

The anticancer effect of various doses of an alkaloid fraction of Sapthaparna, Alstonia scholaris (ASERS), was studied in vitro in cultured human neoplastic cell lines (HeLa, HepG(2), HL60, KB and MCF-7) and in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma bearing mice. Treatment of HeLa cells with 25 microg/mL ASERS

BACKGROUND The use of medicinal plants in modern medicine for the prevention and treatment of cancer is an important aspect. For this reason, it is important to identify antitumor promoting agents present in medicinal plants commonly used by the human population. METHODS We used in vivo and in vitro

Echitamine chloride a plant alkaloid from Alstonia scholaris has been used to examine the anticancer effects on methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma. Echitamine chloride dissolved in saline (10 mg/kg body weight) and injected subcutaneously for 20 days in fibrosarcoma rats has exhibited

In order to evaluate the seasonal variation as well as cytotoxicity of different fractions of Alstonia scholaris R. Br. (ASE), the HeLa cells were treated with different doses of various fractions of ASE collected in monsoon, winter and summer. The exposure of HeLa cells to different extracts

Alstonia scholaris, commonly known as devil's tree, is an important medicinal plant in the various folk and traditional systems of medicine in Asia, Australia, and Africa. The decoction, mostly prepared from the bark, is used to treat a variety of diseases of which the most important is malaria.

The use of ethnornedical information has immensely contributed to health care, and scientific studies have shown that the evaluation of traditionally used medicines may provide leads towards effective drug discovery. Since antiquity, Alstonia scholaris connmonly known as devil's tree has been used

BACKGROUND Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and frequently recurrent malignant brain tumor, and to date, the clinically effective drugs against GBM remain scarce. Natural products play an important role in drug discovery, and might be the resource of antitumor agents for GSCs.

Echitamine chloride (EC), an indole alkaloid, extracted from the bark of Alstonia scholaris has got highly promising anticancer effect. The effect of this drug on the microsomal drug detoxifying system was studied in sarcoma-180 induced mice. When given sub-cutaneously at a dosage of 5 mg/kg body

Malignant tumors are known to exhibit high rates of glycolytic activity leading to high production of lactic acid. Hence, neoplastic cells have elevated activity of enzymes responsible for glycolysis. Echitamine chloride, an indole alkaloid extracted from the bark of Alstonia scholaris, has been

BACKGROUND α-Amyrin (a pentacyclic triterpene widely distributed in nature and isolated from a variety of plant sources and pharmacologically shown a wide spectrum of activity including anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, anti-hyperlipidemic, anti-tumor, and hepatoprotective actions) explored as

BACKGROUND Alstonia scholaris (L.) R. Br. and Alstonia macrophylla Wall. ex G. Don are two vital medicinal plant species (family: Apocynaceae). In India, the therapeutic use of Alstonia scholaris has been described in both codified and non-codified drug systems for the treatment of malaria,

BACKGROUND Loloh are herbal drinks produced and consumed exclusively in Bali (Indonesia) to prevent and treat different ailments. This is the first study to document plants species used as Loloh, reporting the phytochemical components and pharmacological properties of the most cited plants.
