High impact information on Gnaphalium

• Sylviside, a diterpene glucoside derivative from Gnaphalium sylvaticum [1].
• Fractionation of the methanol extract of Gnaphalium gaudichaudianum DC afforded one new and six known ent-pimarane diterpenes together with velutin, squalene and stigmasterol [2].
• Bioassay-guided fractionation monitored by mushroom tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) activity, afforded six inhibitors from three Bolivian medicinal plants, Buddleia coriacea, Gnaphalium cheiranthifolium, and Scheelea princeps [3].
• We found that methanolic extract from Gnaphalium conoideum significantly diminished the contractile responses to histamine, but not to carbachol or KCl [4].
• Isolation of GnafC, a polysaccharide constituent of Gnaphalium affine, and synergistic effects of GnafC and ascorbate on the phenotypic expression of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells [5].

Associations of Gnaphalium with chemical compounds

• Because histamine contractile responses are largely dependent on extracellular Ca2+, and KCl responses are mainly mediated through L-type Ca2+ channels, our results suggested that methanolic extract from Gnaphalium conoideum might be acting as a partial blocker of these Ca2+ channels [4].
• The antibacterial activity of the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the flowers, leaves and stems of Gnaphalium oxyphyllum var. oxyphyllum, G. liebmannii var. monticola and G. viscosum was investigated [6].
