in vitro antimalarial activity of prenylated flavonoids from erythrina fusca.	ethyl acetate (etoac) extract from the stem bark of erythrina fusca showed a antimalarial activity against the multi-drug-resistant strain (k1) of plasmodium falciparum, and six flavonoids, lupinifolin (1), citflavanone (2), erythrisenegalone (3), lonchocarpol a (4), liquiritigenin (5), and 8-prenyldaidzein (6), were isolated from the extract. diprenylated flavanone 4 showed a notable antimalarial activity (ic(50); 1.6 microg/ml); however 1 and 3 did not show the activity, even though these comp ...	2008	18404327
flavanoids and pterocarpans from the bark of erythrina fusca.	three new isomeric flavanones, fuscaflavanones a(1) (1), a(2) (2) and b (3), together with six known flavanones, lupinifolin (4), lonchocarpol a (5), a mixture of lonchocarpols c(1) and c(2) (6a, b), and a mixture of lonchocarpols d(1) and d(2) (7a, b), five pterocarpans, sandwicensin (8), phaseollidin (9), erythrabissin i (10), and a mixture of dolichins a and b (11a, b), one chalcone, isobavachalcone (12), and one isoflavone, wighteone (13), were isolated from the bark of erythrina fusca lour. ...	2009	19721263
fuscacarpans a-c, new pterocarpans from the stems of erythrina fusca.	chemical investigation of the stems of erythrina fusca lour. led to the isolation of three new pterocarpans, named fuscacarpans a-c (1-3), together with fourteen known compounds, sandwicensin (4), erythribyssin a (5), erythrabissin i (6), demethylmedicarpin (7), eryvarin d (8), erypoegin i (9), hydroxycristacarpone (10), orientanol a (11), scandenone (12), genistein (13), liquiritigenin (14), isoliquiritigenin (15), vestitone (16) and 3,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone (17). structures 1-3 were elucidated ...	2010	20079815

beneficial effect of medicinal plants on the contractility of post-hypoxic isolated guinea pig atria - potential implications for the treatment of ischemic-reperfusion injury.	context ischemic-reperfusion injury is accompanied by a decreased contractility of the myocardium. positive-inotropic agents have proven useful for treating this condition but may exert serious side-effects. objective in this study, aqueous preparations from abelmoschus esculentus l. moench (malvaceae), annona muricata l. (annonaceae), bixa orellana l. (bixaceae), cecropia peltata l. (moraceae), erythrina fusca lour. (fabaceae), psidium guajava l. (myrtaceae) and terminalia catappa l. (combretac ...	2016	26730936
use of erythrina fusca as a bioindicator of cu toxicity: ultrastructural, morphophysiological and nutritional analyses.	erythrina fusca is an important legume used for shade cover in cacao plantations in brazil. cacao plantations receive large quantities of copper (cu) containing agrochemicals, mainly for control of diseases. therefore, cu toxicity was investigated in seedlings grown in hydroponics with increasing concentrations of cu (0.005 - 32 mg l(-)¹) in a greenhouse. ultrastructural analyses showed cell plasmolysis in the root cortical area and changes in thylakoid membranes at 8 mg cu l(-1) and higher. the ...	2017	28084783
