High impact information on Achyrocline

• Cyclobutane dimers from the Colombian medicinal plant Achyrocline bogotensis [1].
• Five cyclobutane dimers, achyrodimers A-E (1-5), along with 11 known compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of the Colombian medicinal plant Achyrocline bogotensis [1].
• Antioxidant, a pro-oxidant and cytotoxic effects of Achyrocline satureioides extracts [2].
• LC determination of flavonoids: separation of quercetin, luteolin and 3-O-methylquercetin in Achyrocline satureioides preparations [3].
• Achyrofuran, a new antihyperglycemic dibenzofuran from the South American medicinal plant Achyrocline satureioides [4].

Biological context of Achyrocline

• The immunomodulatory activity of aqueous extract from Achyrocline satureioides, prepared using heating, was investigated with a mitogen-induced cell proliferation assay and IL-2 secretion in BALB/c mice [5].

Associations of Achyrocline with chemical compounds

• This work was designed, therefore, to develop an LC system to separate quercetin, luteolin and 3-O-methylquercetin and to quantify them in extractive solutions from Achyrocline satureioides [3].
• The botanical extracts of Achyrocline satureoides and Ilex paraguariensis prevent methylglyoxal-induced inhibition of plasminogen and antithrombin III [6].
• Ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC [7].
• Achyrocline satureioides spray-dried extracts, prepared with colloidal silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose + colloidal silicon dioxide (1:1), and beta-cyclodextrin + colloidal silicon dioxide (1:1), were incorporated in a glyceryl monostearate base [8].

Gene context of Achyrocline

• Furthermore, no study had been conducted so far exploring the antioxidant activity of Achyrocline satureoides vis-à-vis human LDL oxidation, which is the compelling issue in pinpointing potential cardioprotective new uses for a traditional remedy [9].
• Toxicological studies of the aqueous extract from Achyrocline satureioides (Lam.) DC (Marcela) [10].
• Pharmacological investigations on Achyrocline satureioides (LAM.) DC., Compositae [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Achyrocline

• In this study we investigated the antioxidant properties of one herbal preparation widely used in complementary and alternative medicine in large areas of the world: Achyrocline satureoides (AS), popularly known as "marcela". Although rich in flavonoids, the ethnopharmacological uses of this plant do not include atherosclerosis prevention [9].
