casticin/artemisia gmelinii

Following an initial clean-up step on silica, high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to purify a flavone, casticin (5,3'-dihydroxy-3,6,7, 4'-tetramethoxyflavone), from an extract of the dried leaves of Artemisia annua L. The two-phase solvent system used was composed of

A number of flavonoids including casticin and artemetin from Artemisia annua have shown synergism with artemisinin against Plasmodium falciparum, but it is unclear if the flavonoids are also extracted into a tea infusion of the plant. Using a tea infusion preparation protocol that was reported to be

BACKGROUND The aim of our experiments was to investigate the anti-inflammatory properties of casticin and chrysosplenol D, two flavonoids present in Artemisia annua L. METHODS Topical inflammation was induced in ICR mice using croton oil. Mice were then treated with casticin or chrysosplenol D.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the chemical constituents of dried whole plants of Artemisia annua. METHODS The chemical constituents were isolated by repeated silica gel chromatography, medium pressure column chromatography, and semi-preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic

Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of necrotic enteritis leading to significant losses in the poultry industry. Dichloromethane and n-hexane extracts of aerial parts of Artemisia annua (Asteraceae) exhibited activity against C. perfringens with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of

Triple negative human breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive cancer subtype with poor prognosis. Besides the better-known artemisinin, Artemisia annua L. contains numerous active compounds not well-studied yet. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array and mass

BACKGROUND In addition to recognized antimalarial effects, Artemisia annua L. (Qinghao) possesses anticancer properties. The underlying mechanisms of this activity are unknown. The aim of our experiments was to investigate the effects of distinct types of compounds isolated from A. annua on the

To evaluate the quality of Artemisia annua L., an accurate HPLC-DAD method has been developed, validated and applied to the simultaneous quantification of five flavonoids, two coumarins and four sesquiterpenes. An LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS confirmation method has been utilized to avoid false-positive

Interaction between the flavones casticin and artemetin and the antimalarial activity of chloroquine and qinghaosu (QHS) was examined using an in vitro growth assay based on [3H]hypoxanthine incorporation in synchronized cultures of a cloned line of Plasmodium falciparum. Casticin, and to a lesser
