Antioxidant and anticholinesterase investigations of Rumex hastatus D. Don: potential effectiveness in oxidative stress and neurological disorders

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Rumex species are traditionally used for the treatment of neurological disorders including headache, migraine, depression, paralysis etc. Several species have been scientifically validated for antioxidant and anticholinestrase potentials. This study aims to investigate Rumex hastatus D. Don c...

Anticholinesterse and antioxidant investigations of crude extracts, subsequent fractions, saponins and flavonoids of atriplex laciniata L: potential effectiveness in Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Atriplex laciniata L. was investigated for phenolic, flavonoid contents, antioxidant, anticholinesterase activities, in an attempt to explore its effectiveness in Alzheimer's and other neurological disorders. Plant crude methanolic extract (Al.MeF), subsequent fractions; n-hexane (Al.HxF), ch...

Cytotoxicity, nitric oxide and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of three limonoids isolated from Trichilia welwitschii (Meliaceae)

Biol. Res; 48 (), 2015
BACKGROUND: Limonoids are highly oxygenated compounds with a prototypical structure. Their occurrence in the plant kingdom is mainly confined to plant families of Meliaceae and Rutaceae. Owing to their wide range of pharmacological and therapeutic properties, this study was aimed at investigating the pot...

Efectos del paration sobre la actividad de acetilcolinesterasa en rinón de rata

En el presente trabajo se estudió por métodos citoquímicos para microscopía óptica y electrónica, si el paratión (un inhibidos competitivo de acetilcolinesterasa que produce un efecto natriurético), es o no un inhibidor de la enzima a nivel renal, en dois no inhibitorias de AChE de glóbulos rojo...
