Disease relevance of Bryonia

  • The anti-inflammatory effect of the leaves of Bryonia laciniosa was evaluated using carrageenan, dextran, histamine, serotonin induced rat paw oedema and cotton pellet induced granuloma (chronic) models in rats [1].
 

High impact information on Bryonia

  • Bryodin is a strongly basic (pI greater than or equal to 9.5) glycoprotein (neutral sugar content 6.3%) with Mr 30,000, purified from the roots of Bryonia dioica (white bryony) [2].
  • Bryodin 1 (BD1) is a potent ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated from the plant Bryonia dioica [3].
  • The Bc329 clone was used as a probe to study the expression of calmodulin mRNA after a mechanical stimulus applied on young Bryonia internodes [4].
  • Restoration of the disordered glucose-fatty acid cycle in alloxan-diabetic rats by trihydroxyoctadecadienoic acids from Bryonia alba, a native Armenian medicinal plant [5].
  • Unsaturated polyhydroxy acids having prostaglandin-like activity from Bryonia alba II. Major components [6].
 

Anatomical context of Bryonia

 

Associations of Bryonia with chemical compounds

  • The distribution of membrane-bound calcium, activated calmodulin, and callose synthesis was visualized in Bryonia dioica internodes before and after mechanical stimulus, using fluorescent probes, respectively, chlorotetracycline, fluphenazine, and aniline blue [8].
  • The methanol extract of Bryonia laciniosa (MEBL) was evaluated by hot plate and acetic acid-induced writhing methods to assess analgesic activity [9].
