High impact information on Holarrhena

Three compounds, pubadysone [11 alpha-hydroxy-18,20-oxido-3-oxo-pregna-1,4,17(20)-triene] (1), puboestrene [3-acetoxy-17-oxo-1,3,5(10)-estratriene] (2) and pubamide [3,18-dioxo-11 alpha-hydroxycona-1,4-diene] (3), have been isolated from the bark of Holarrhena pubescens [1].
On the basis of physical, chemical and biological assay of different tinctures made with different concentrations, in the case of Holarrhena antidysenterica Wall, the best solvent was 70% v/v ethanol [2].
Shoot tip and nodal segment explants of Holarrhena antidysenterica when cultured on MS medium containing BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/l) with NAA (0.2-1.0 mg/l) and BAP (1.0-3.0 mg/l) with Kn [3].
Antibacterial steroid alkaloids from the stem bark of Holarrhena pubescens [4].
Among various extracts, only alcoholic extracts of Emblica officinalis, Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, Plumbago zeylanica and Holarrhena antidysenterica were found to show potentially interesting activity against test bacteria [5].
