| screening of plants acting against heterometrus laoticus scorpion venom activity on fibroblast cell lysis. | the aqueous extracts of 64 plant species, listed as animal- or insect-bite antidotes in old thai drug recipes were screened for their activity against fibroblast cell lysis after heterometrus laoticus scorpion venom treatment. the venom was preincubated with plant extract for 30 min and furthered treated to confluent fibroblast cells for 30 min. more than 40% efficiency (test/control) was obtained from cell treatment with venom preincubated with extracts of andrographis paniculata nees (acanthac ... | 2006 | 16169172 |
| antibacterial activity of barringtonia acutangula against selected urinary tract pathogens. | barringtonia acutangula (l.) gaertn belonging to family barringtoniaceae was investigated to evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity of aqueous, ethanolic, petroleum ether and chloroform extracts against staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, klebsiella pneumoniae, enterococcus faecalis and escherichia coli the major urinary tract infection causing pathogens were tested by disc diffusion assay method and the minimum inhibitory concentration was evaluated. ethanol (95%) extract exhibited ... | 2008 | 21394275 |
| vegetative and reproductive phenology of a floodplain tree species barringtonia acutangula from north east india. | vegetative and reproductive phenology of barringtonia acutangula, a floodplain tree species was studied at chatla floodplain, assam north east india with the aim to investigate vegetative and reproductive phenology under stressful environment of seasonal submergence and to assess the impact of environmental variables (temperature and precipitation) on tree phenophases. quantitative assessment was made at 15 day interval for all the phenophases (leaf initiation, leaf-fall, flowering and fruiting) ... | 2016 | 27097440 |
| anti-nephrotoxic activity of some medicinal plants from tribal rich pockets of odisha. | gentamicin, a strong cationic drug accumulated at biological membranes causes net increase in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation leading to necrotic changes in renal tubles and consequently precipitates acute nephrotoxicity. several phytoconstituents and plants extracts demonstrated significant anti-oxidant and cyto-protective activities. vitex negundo linn. (vn), oroxylum indicum vent. (oi) and barringtonia acutangula linn. (ba) are widely found throughout the asian sub-continent including ... | 2014 | 25002801 |
| barringtonia acutangula improves the biochemical parameters in diabetic rats. | this study was aimed at evaluating the anti-diabetic activity of the ethanol and aqueous extracts of the leaf material of barringtonia acutangula in a diabetic animal model. | 2014 | 24636063 |
| phytoremediation potential and nutrient status of barringtonia acutangula gaerth. tree seedlings grown under different chromium (crvi) treatments. | to investigate the effect of different chromium (crvi) treatments on seedlings of semi-aquatic plant barringtonia acutangula, hydroponic experiments were conducted. results revealed that b. acutangula could tolerate much higher crvi concentration accumulated about 751-2,703 mg kg(-1) dry weight in roots and 50-1,101 mg kg(-1) dry weight in shoots, respectively, under 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mm chromium treatments. crvi exposure at 1.0-4.0 mm does not exhibit toxicity signs; however, up to 4. ... | 2014 | 24399023 |
| antinociceptive, antidiarrheal, and neuropharmacological activities of barringtonia acutangula. | barringtonia acutangula (l.) gaertn. (lecythidaceae) has been used in folk medicine in the treatment of arthralgia, chest pain, dysmenorrhea, inflammation, hemorrhoids, diarrhea, and also in psychological disorders. | 2012 | 22830487 |
| pharmacognostical evaluation of barringtonia acutangula leaf. | barringtonia acutangula (l.) gaertn. (family: lecythidaceae) is an evergreen tree with simple, alternate leaves, long pendulous racemes, dark scarlet flowers, and ellipsoid to ovoid berries containing one ovoid black seed. the present study deals with a detailed pharmacognostical study on the leaf of the crude drug, b. acutangula. morphoanatomy of the leaf was studied using light and confocal microscopy and world health organization (who) guidelines on quality control methods for medicinal plant ... | 2011 | 21897641 |
| acutangulosides a-f, monodesmosidic saponins from the bark of barringtonia acutangula. | nine triterpene saponins, acutangulosides a-f (2-7), and acutanguloside d-f methyl esters (5a-7a) and a single triterpene aglycone (1) were isolated from a water extract of the bark of barringtonia acutangula. their structures were assigned on the basis of spectroscopic data. | 2005 | 15787427 |
| saponins from barringtonia acutangula. | three monodesmosidic glucuronide saponins of barringtogenol c, named barringtosides a, b and c have been isolated as their methyl esters from the dried seeds of barringtonia acutangula. on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence, the structures of these new saponins were elucidated to be as follows: barringtoside a, 3-o-beta-d-xylopyranosyl(1-->3)-[beta-d-galactopyranosyl(1-->2)]-beta-d- glucuronopyranosyl barringtogenol c; barringtoside b, 3-o-beta-d-xylopyranosyl(1-->3)-]beta-d-galactopyra ... | 1994 | 7764822 |
