Anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-ulcer activities of aqueous lyophilizate of (Bignoniaceae).

Objectives: This work was carried out with a view to determining the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer properties of the aqueous lyophilized extract of .

Methods: proteinases inhibition, albumin denaturation, hemolysis of red blood cells by heat, inhibition of the proton pump H/KATPase, FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) and DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assays were performed. , cold water immersion-induced ulceration and methylene blue-induced ulceration was used to determine the anti-ulcer properties of the lyophilizate (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg).

leaves aqueous and ethanolic extract with curative anti-inflammatory activity attenuates paclitaxel toxicity in rat's intestine.

Objectives: (, Bignoniaceae) is mainly found in tropical/neotropical regions of America, Africa and Asia. The plant's leaves, stems or roots are used to treat anaemia, bloody diarrhoea, parasitic and microbial infections. This study evaluates anti-inflammatory properties () of and their curative effects on paclitaxel-induced intestinal toxicity ().

and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of the Hydroethanolic Extract of the Roots of (Asteraceae).

In traditional Cameroonian medicine, to relieve many inflammations, parts of , are very widely used. This study considered the evaluation of acute toxicity and anti-inflammatory properties of the hydroethanolic extract of the roots of . In an acute toxicity study, 250, 2500, and 5000 mg/kg were administered orally to mice in a single dose, and general behavior, adverse effects, and mortality were monitored.

Anti-, anti-Inflammatory, and Antioxidant Activities of Trunk Bark of (Apocynaceae).

An ulcer is an erosion of the gastric mucosa that occurs following an imbalance between the aggression and protective factors and/or an infection with (). About 90-100% of duodenal ulcers and 70-80% of gastric ulcers are caused by . The objective of this work was to evaluate in the anti- activity and then the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of aqueous and methanol extracts of .

Methanolic Extract of (Caesalpiniaceae) Stem Bark Suppresses Ethanol/Indomethacin-Induced Chronic Gastric Injury in Rats.

(Caesalpiniaceae) is a plant from the Cameroon pharmacopoeia very widely used in the treatment of many pathologies among which are gastrointestinal disorders. The main purpose of this study was to assess the healing properties of gastric ulcer from the methanolic extract of and its mechanisms of action. The healing properties of gastric ulcers (chronic ulcer model induced by ethanol and indomethacin) were evaluated in adult male rats, while the mechanisms of action were evaluated by anti-inflammatory assay (protein denaturation, cyclooxygenase, and lipoxygenase assays) and immunomodulatory assay (ROS production (using technical chemiluminescence), cytokine (TNF-, IL-1, IL-6) production (using ELISA), proliferation of T cells (using liquid scintillation counter), and cytotoxicity (using MTT assay)).
