High impact information on Pedaliaceae

Ten compounds, harpagoside (1), 8- p-coumaroylharpagide (2), 8-feruloylharpagide (3), 8-cinnamoylmyoporoside (4), pagoside (5), acteoside (6), isoacteoside (7), 6'- O-acetylacteoside (8), cinnamic acid (9) and caffeic acid (10) were isolated from the storage roots of Harpagophytum procumbens, Pedaliaceae [1].
The polysaccharide fraction from the mucilage of Dicerocaryum zanguebaricum (Pedaliaceae) appears to be mainly constituted of a chemically homogeneous polysaccharide [2].

Associations of Pedaliaceae with chemical compounds

The dried aqueous extract of Harpagophytum procumbens (Pedaliaceae) and its main iridoid glycoside, harpagoside, have been evaluated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in mice and rats, in order to validate or invalidate the involvement of this compound in such properties [3].
