Gene context of Swertia

  • Our preliminary findings revealed that DT and RT correlated well with IL-1alpha, TNF-alpha and IL-10 levels in the joint homogenates of arthritic mice and after therapy with Swertia chirayita extracts [12].
  • Hepatoprotective principles of Swertia japonica Makino on D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide-induced liver injury in mice [13].
  • Reinvestigation of the plant, Swertia decussata resulted in the isolation of four antioxidant xanthones, which were characterized as 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy, 1,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy, 1,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy and 1,7,8-trihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthones [14].
  • Subsequently, we applied the same analytical condition to estimate the swertiamarin contents in Japanese pharmacopoeia stomachic preparations, in OTC gastroenteric drugs and in OTC hair tonics containing Swertia herb [15].
  • This is the fi rst report of its kind and the observation suggests the chemopreventive potential of Swertia chirata [16].
