A new phytosterone named achyranthesterone A (1), along with the three known compounds stachysterone D (2), beta-ecdysone (3) and polypodine B (4) have been isolated from the roots of Achyranthes bidentata Bl [9].

Gene context of Achyranthes

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibiting effects and mechanism of achyranthes bidentata polysaccharide (ABP) and lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) on nonenzyme glycation in D-galactose induced mouse aging model [10].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Achyranthes

Blood glucose levels of normal and alloxan diabetic rabbits were determined after oral administration of various doses of Achyranthes aspera powdered whole plant and certain aqueous and methanolic extracts [7].
