A reliable validated high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection method for quantification of terpenes in , , and oleoresins.

oleoresins are widely used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a validated reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method with photodiode array detection (RP-HPLC-PDA) to quantify eight terpenes: -hardwickiic acid, -copalic acid, -7α-acetoxy hardwickiic acid, -16-hydroxy-3,13-clerodadiene-15,18-dioic acid, -5,13-labdadiene-15-oic acid, junenol, -kaurenoic acid, and 13E--labda-7,13-dien-15-oic acid in the oleoresins of L. (OCP), L.

Antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of Copaifera pubiflora Benth oleoresin and its major metabolite ent-hardwickiic acid.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Copaifera species folkloric names are "copaíbas, copaibeiras, copaívas or oil stick", which are widely used in Brazilian folk medicine. Among all ethnopharmacological applications described for Copaifera spp oleoresins, their anti-inflammatory effect stands out. However, the knowledge of anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties of Copaifera pubiflora Benth is scarce.

study of anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of Benth oleoresin.

Benth oleoresin (CPO) is used as an anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antimicrobial. This paper reports the cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antinociceptive activities of CPO. CPO (10 mg/kg) did not affect locomotor capacity in the open-field and rotarod tests and was not cytotoxic to CHO-k1, THP-1, and L929 cell lines.

Development of a validated ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of acid diterpenes in Copaifera oleoresins.

Species of Copaifera genus (Fabaceae - Caesalpinoiodidaeae) produces an important commercial oleoresin that displays many medicinal properties. Copaifera oleoresins (COR) are composed mainly of a mixture of diterpenes and sequiterpenes, and the main reported acid diterpenes for this genus are kaurenoic, copalic, hardwickiic and polyaltic acids. An ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for identification and quantification of nine acid diterpenes.

Copaifera multijuga oleoresin and its constituent diterpene (-)-copalic acid: Genotoxicity and chemoprevention study.

Copaiba oleoresins are used in alternative medicine as anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, and antimicrobial treatments. (-)-Copalic acid (CA) is the major diterpene found in exudates from Copaifera species. We have examined the genotoxicity and the chemopreventive potential of Copaifera multijuga oleoresin (CM) and CA.

Copaifera duckei Oleoresin and Its Main Nonvolatile Terpenes: In Vitro Schistosomicidal Properties.

In this article, the in vitro schistosomicidal effects of three Brazilian Copaifera oleoresins (C. duckei, C. langsdorffii, and C.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of plant-derived diterpenes against bovine mastitis bacteria.

We evaluated the antibacterial activity of three diterpenes isolated from natural sources against a panel of microorganisms responsible for bovine mastitis. ent-Copalic acid (CA) was the most active metabolite, with promising MIC values (from 1.56 to 6.
