| extract of bowdichia virgilioides and maackiain as larvicidal agent against aedes aegypti mosquito. | the larvicidal activities of extracts of three hardwood species (hymenaea stigonorcapa, anadenanthera colubrina and bowdichia virgilioides) against 4th instar larvae of aedes aegypti were evaluated using who guidelines. extracts of h. stignocarpa and a. colubrina showed weak activity. the highest larvicidal effect was obtained with the cyclohexane extract of the heartwood of b. virgilioides, which caused 100% mortality at concentrations at 50 and 100 µg/ml. fraction toluene/etoac (8:2) from this ... | 2015 | 25819294 |
| acute and subchronic antihyperglycemic activities of bowdichia virgilioides roots in non-diabetic and diabetic rats. | the present study was undertaken to evaluate the acute and subchronic antihyperglycemic effects of methanolic extract of bowdichia virgilioides root bark of b. virgilioides in streptozotocin (stz)-induced diabetic rats. | 2017 | 26401386 |
| protective effect of a hydroethanolic extract from bowdichia virgilioides on muscular damage and oxidative stress caused by strenuous resistance training in rats. | natural antioxidants can reduce oxidative damage caused by high-intensity resistance training (rt). we investigated the in vitro antioxidant potential of hydroethanolic extract (hee) from bowdichia virgilioides on muscular damage and oxidative stress in rats subjected to high-intensity rt. | 2014 | 25649187 |
| ethnopharmacology of medicinal plants of carrasco, northeastern brazil. | the goal of this study was to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of medicinal species from the carrasco vegetation of the araripe national forest, state of ceará, brazil, as well as determining species with bioprospecting potential | 2014 | 25240589 |
| evaluation of wound healing and antimicrobial properties of aqueous extract from bowdichia virgilioides stem barks in mice. | the decoction of the stem barks from bowdichia virgilioides kunth is a folk remedy used to treat inflammatory disorders in latin american and brazil. in the present study, the wound healing activity of aqueous extract of the stem bark from b. virgilioides, called aebv, was evaluated by the rate of healing by wound contraction and period of epithelization at different days post-wound using the wound excisional model. on day 9, the aebv-treated animals exhibited significative reduction in the woun ... | 2013 | 23969849 |
| two new isoflavonoids from bowdichia virgilioides. | two new isoflavonoids 7,8,4'-trimethoxyisoflavone and 7,8,4'-trimethoxyisoflavanone and calycosin (7,3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone) were isolated from the wood of the leguminous tree bowdichia virgilioides by usual chromatographic procedures. besides these compounds the pterocarpane (-)-maackianin, isoliquiritigenin (4,2',4'-trihydroxychalcone), and the hydrobenzylfurane derivative bowdenol were also obtained. the structures of these new compounds were determinated by ms and 1d and 2d nmr spec ... | 2006 | 16286304 |
| bowdichine, a new diaza-adamantane alkaloid from bowdichia virgilioides. | a novel alkaloid named bowdichine (1), only the third with a diaza-adamantane skeleton containing an unusual n-acetyl enamine moiety, and the known alkaloids acosmine (2), ormosanine (3) and podopetaline (4) have been isolated from the stem bark of bowdichia virgilioides. the structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data, mainly 1d and 2d nmr of the diaza-adamantane alkaloids 1 and 2. | 2004 | 14989375 |
