High impact information on Casearia

 

Associations of Casearia with chemical compounds

  • Hypolipidaemic effect of Casearia esculenta root extracts in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [6].
  • Bioassay-guided fractionation on Casearia sylvestris, a medicinal plant species found in Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, led to the isolation of clerodane diterpenes 12-13 which showed effect on DNA [7].
  • Effect of Casearia esculenta root extract on blood glucose and plasma antioxidant status in streptozotocin diabetic rats [8].
  • An ethanol extract of the leaves of Brazilian Casearia sylvestris, given orally, inhibited gastric secretion in pylorus-ligated rats [9].
 

Gene context of Casearia

  • Antiperoxidative and antioxidant effects of Casearia esculenta root extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [10].
  • The results obtained suggested that among the four genera studied Casearia is the most promising in respect of finding significant antioxidant, cytotoxic and also antimicrobial activity [11].
  • The genotoxic potentiality of the crude leaf extract of Casearia tomentosa, a medicinal preparation, has been evaluated in Swiss albino mice [12].
  • The present study was carried out to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic effect of Casearia esculenta root extract and to study the activities of liver hexokinase and gluconeogenic enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in liver and kidney of normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats [13].
  • The crude aqueous extract from the leaves of Casearia sylvestris, a plant found in Brazilian open pastures, was assayed for its ability to inhibit phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and some biological activities of bee and several snake venoms, and of a number of isolated PLA2s [14].
