High impact information on Cleome

 

Biological context of Cleome

  • Enzymatic hydrolysis of the ethanol extract of Cleome chrysantha Decne., produced two non-volatile isothiocyanates, 4, 6-dimethyltetrahydro-1,3-oxazine-2-thione and N-(-4-methyl-sulphinyl-3-butenyl) isothiocyanate which was established by aniline and methanolic ammonia to give the stable form of phenyl thiourea [6].
 

Associations of Cleome with chemical compounds

  • Eighteen dammarane-type triterpenes were obtained from the whole plant of Cleome africana by means of cytotoxic bioassay-directed fractionation [7].
  • Preliminary tests indicate that the methanol extract of Cleome viscosa Linn. in doses of 200-400 mg/kg has significant psychopharmacological activity [8].
  • GC/MS analysis of the volatiles produced by the action of endogenous myrosinase in Cleome chrysantha Decne. herb, showed three major components, 1-isocyano-4-methyl benzene, gamma-muurolene and (cis) nerolidole (21.72%, 12.15% and 10.39%, respectively) [6].
  • The analgesic activity of methanol extract of Cleome viscosa, given orally at the doses of 100, 200, 400 mg/kg was evaluated for its analgesic activity in mice using the acetic acid-induced writhing and the tail flick, tail clip, tail immersion methods [9].
