rhododendron caucasicum/止痛藥

During the course of screening of medicinal plants of Pakistan for the isolation and structure elucidation of bioactive natural products, it was found that the methanol extract of the Rhododendron collettianum showed analgesic and spasmolytic activities. The methanol extract was then extracted with

Sixteen diterpenoids including nine undescribed ones, named rhodoauriculatols A-I, were isolated from the leaves of Rhododendron auriculatum Hemsl. Sixteen diterpenoids belong to seven diverse carbon skeletons, which were classified into 1,10-seco-grayanane, 1,10:2,3-diseco-grayanane,

Twenty-four grayanane diterpenoids (1-24) including 12 new ones (1-12) were isolated from Rhododendron auriculatum. The structures of the new grayanane diterpenoids (1-12) were defined via extensive spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute

Nine previously undescribed diterpene glucosides, rhodomicranosides A-I, comprising leucothane, 4,5-seco-ent-kaurane, and grayanane types, respectively, were isolated from the leaves of Rhododendron micranthum, along with seven known diterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive

To identify an analgesic/anti-inflammatory component from the leaves of Rhododendron aureum (Ericaceae), phytochemical isolation and pharmacological assays (writhing assays and vascular permeability assay for analgesic action in mice; carrageenan-induced paw edemaand TPA-induced ear edema assays of

OBJECTIVE To study the analgesic mechanisms of total flavone of rhododendron (TFR). METHODS On hot-plate test in mice, the changes of the latencies of licking paws were observed after drug administration. Meanwhile, the contents of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) in the mice serum and

Rhododendron arboreum Smith. (Ericaceae), an evergreen small tree, is one of the 1000 species that belongs to genus Rhododendron distributed worldwide. In folk medicine, as various parts of this plant exhibit medicinal properties, it is used in the treatment of different ailments.The present study

Rhododendron tomentosum Harmaja (previously: Ledum palustre) is a fragrant evergreen shrub found in peaty soils in northern Europe, Asia and North America, commonly referred to as wild rosemary, marsh tea, marsh rosemary or northern Labrador tea. At least since the eighteenth century it has been

Twelve new grayanoids (1-12) along with five known compounds were isolated from flowers of Rhododendron molle. Their structures were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic analyses, computational calculations, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Rhomollone A

Four highly acylated diterpenoids with a new 3,4-secograyanane skeleton, secorhodomollolides A-D (1-4), have been isolated from the flower buds of Rhododendron molle. Their structures including absolute configurations were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data interpretation and

Mollolide A (1), a diterpenoid featuring a new 1,10:2,3-disecograyanane skeleton, was isolated from the roots of Rhododendron molle. Its structure was elucidated through extensive MS, IR, and NMR spectroscopy analyses. The absolute configuration was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of

BACKGROUND Traditionally, Rhododendron arboreum Sm. (Ericaceae) is a very important medicinal plant having oxytocic, estrogenic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and hepatoprotective activities; it also inhibits the prostaglandin synthetase. OBJECTIVE This study determines the cytotoxic potential of

Background: Rhododendron molle (Ericaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, its flower and root have been widely used to treat rheumatism and relieve pain for thousands of years in China. Chemical studies have revealed that R.

The midbrain periaqueductal grey (PAG) is a structure known for its roles in pain transmission and modulation. Noxious stimuli potentiate the glutamate synaptic transmission and enhance glutamate NMDA receptor expression in the PAG. However, little is known about roles of NMDA receptor subunits in

BACKGROUND The vast genus Rhododendron includes species that have been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, pain, gastro-intestinal disorders, common cold, asthma, skin disease, etc. Rhododendrons are also well known for their toxicity and some species have been
