caesalpinia gaumeri/glutathione

Glutathione S-transferase inhibition assay-guided fractionations on the ethanolic extract of the bark of Caesalpinia bonduc resulted in the isolation of a new sterol, 17-hydroxy-campesta-4,6-dien-3-one (1) along with four known compounds, 13,14-seco-stigmasta-5,14-dien-3alpha-ol (2),

Caesalpinia sappan L., belonging to the family Leguminosae, is a medicinal plant that is distributed in Southeast Asia. The dried heartwood of this plant is used as a traditional ingredient of food, red dyes, and folk medicines in the treatment of diarrhea, dysentery, tuberculosis, skin infections,

Objectives Hypertension is the number one risk factor and primary contributor of cardiovascular diseases. Caesalpinia benthamiana is a valuable medicinal plant with unvalidated anti-hypertensive activity. This study was carried out to explore the antihypertensive effect of C. benthamiana on

From the ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia bonduc, one new diterpene, neocaesalpin P (1) and six known diterpenoids, neocaesalpin H (2), cordylane A (3), caesalpinin B (4), bonducellpin E (5), caesalpinolide A (6), and 17-methylvouacapane-8(14),-9(11)-diene (7) were isolated. Structures of these

Protosappanin A (PrA), obtained from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine, Caesalpinia sappan L. (Lignum Sappan), possesses a lot of pharmaceutical activities. Typically, it is a potent antioxidant. This study makes an effort to test its protective effects against osteoporosis by

Oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators were measured in the plasma and livers of C57BL/6 mice fed a high-cholesterol diet for 14 weeks and in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Some of the mice fed with the atherogenic diet received drinking water supplemented with 0.01 g

"Oxidative stress" is initiated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible for majority of the diseases. However, antioxidants with ROS scavenging ability may have great relevance in the prevention of oxidative stress. The present study was undertaken, using a 70% methanolic extract of

Brazilin, the main constituent of Caesalpinia sappan, is an antioxidative substance that has catechol moiety in its chemical structure. Considering the antioxidant-activity of brazilin, it was expected to have protective effects on the toxicities of radical generating chemicals. The incubation of

Sibipiruna (Caesalpinia peltophoroides Benth) is a tree of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is a flowering ornamental tree widely planted throughout Brazil and indicated for restoration of degraded areas. We examined protein profile changes in leaves of seedlings of C. peltophoroides grown in

This study aims to evaluate two proteins derived from the seeds of the plants Cajanus cajan (Leguminosae) and Caesalpinia gilliesii (Leguminosae) for their abilities to ameliorate the toxic effects of chronic doses of acetoaminphen (APAP) through the determination of certain biochemical parameters

The methanol extract of Caesalpinia bonducella FLEMING (Caesalpiniaceae) leaves (MECB) were evaluated for antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC)-bearing Swiss albino mice. The extract was administered at the doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight per day for 14 days after 24

BACKGROUND Caesalpinia gilliesii Hook is an ornamental shrub with showy yellow flowers. It was used in folk medicine due to its contents of different classes of secondary metabolites. In our previous study, dichloromethane extract of C. gilliesii flowers showed a good antioxidant
