Immunological and microbiological activity of Davilla elliptica St. Hill. (Dilleniaceae) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (1/7)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for over 8 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) annually. Natural products may play important roles in the chemotherapy of TB. The immunological activity of Davilla elliptica chloroform extract (DECE) was evaluated in vitro by the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) release in peritoneal macrophages cultures. DECE was also tested for its antimycobacterial activity against M. tuberculosis using the microplate alamar blue assay. DECE (50, 150, 250 microg/ml) stimulated the production of H2O2 (from 1,79 +/- 0,23 to 7,27 +/- 2,54; 15,02 +/- 2,86; 20,5 +/- 2,1 nmols) (means +/- SD), NO (from 2,64 +/- 1,02 to 25,59 +/- 2,29; 26,68 +/- 2,41; 29,45 +/- 5,87 micromols) (means +/- SD) and TNF-alpha (from 2,44 +/- 1,46 to 30,37 +/- 8,13; 38,68 +/- 1,59; 41,6 +/- 0,90 units/ml) (means +/- SD) in a dose-dependent manner and also showed a promising antimycobacterial activity with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 62,5 microg/ml. This plant may have therapeutic potential in the immunological and microbiological control of TB. (+info)Genistein-derivatives from Tetracera scandens stimulate glucose-uptake in L6 myotubes. (2/7)
An EtOAc-soluble partition of the MeOH extract of a branch of Tetracera scandens (Dilleniaceae family) was subjected to a glucose-uptake assay, which led to the isolation and identification of five isoflavones of previously known structure namely, genistein (1), its derivatives 3',5'-diprenylgenistein (2), 6,8-diprenylgenistein (3), derrone (4) and alpinumisoflavone (5). Of these, compounds 2--5 exhibited significant glucose-uptake activity in basal and insulin-stimulated L6 myotubes. The findings from adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase (AMPK) activation and glucose transport protein4 (GLUT4) and GLUT1 over-expression revealed certain characteristics of compounds 2--5. These compounds inhibited protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activities with IC50 values ranging from 20.63 +/- 0.17 to 37.52 +/- 0.31 microM. No muscle cell toxicity was reported with compounds 3--5, while compounds 1 and 2 reduced muscle cell viability with IC50 values of 34.27 +/- 0.35 and 18.69 +/- 0.19 microM, respectively. It was concluded that T. scandens and its constituents exerted highly desirable activities on type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment since they significantly stimulated the uptake of glucose, AMPK phosphorylation, GLUT4 and GLUT1 mRNA expressions and PTP1B inhibition in L6 myotubes.

The leaves of the endemic Philippine plant, Dillenia philippinensis yielded 11 compounds including one new sulfated glucoside and a new seco-A-ring oleanane-type triterpenoid. The molecular structures of these compounds were elucidated by means of NMR, MS and other spectroscopic techniques, as well as by comparison with literature data. Anti-Leishmania activity and cytotoxic activity against A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells were also examined. (+info)Antidiabetic and hypolipidemic activities of Dillenia indica extract in diabetic rats. (4/7)
OBJECTIVE: The present study was carried out to investigate the antidiabetic and hypolipidemic activities of bioactive fraction (ethyl acetate fraction) of Dillenia indica methanolic extract in experimental diabetic Wistar rats. METHODS: Type-1 diabetes was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight), and type-2 diabetes was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg body weight), 15 min after the intraperitoneal injection of 120 mg/kg nicotinamide. The rats were treated by administering graded oral doses of isolated ethyl acetate fraction of methanolic extract of D. indica (DIEE), 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight, respectively, for 21 d. The blood glucose level was estimated at weekly intervals by glucometer. Serum cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were also evaluated in normal and diabetic rats by an autoanalyzer. RESULTS: In both experimental models, daily oral treatment with DIEE for 21 d resulted in a significant reduction in blood glucose (P<0.01), serum cholesterol (P<0.05) and triglycerides (P<0.05) levels whereas HDL-C level was found to be increased (P<0.05) as compared with the diabetic control group. CONCLUSION: DIEE at 400 mg/kg body weight has prominent antidiabetic effect in experimental type-1 and type-2 diabetes models in rats. It may therefore be used as an alternative remedy for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

(+info)Dilleniaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes around 30 genera and 600 species. These plants are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions, with a few species occurring in temperate zones. The family is characterized by having five or often many sepals and petals, numerous stamens, and a superior ovary.
The plants in Dilleniaceae are quite diverse, ranging from small herbs to large trees. Some of the more well-known members of this family include the Indian rubber tree (Dillenia indica), the cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana), and the mock orange (Philadelphus coronarius).
It's worth noting that while Dilleniaceae is a distinct family of plants, it has been subject to significant reclassification in recent years. Some botanists have proposed merging it with other families or splitting it into smaller groups, so its exact composition and boundaries may continue to evolve as more research is conducted.
A medical directory is a collection of information about healthcare professionals, organizations, and facilities, arranged in a systematic and searchable manner. Medical directories can be found in both print and digital formats and serve as a valuable resource for patients, doctors, researchers, and other healthcare providers.
The information contained in medical directories may include the names and contact details of physicians, specialists, and other healthcare professionals, along with their qualifications, areas of expertise, and professional affiliations. Medical directories may also provide information about hospitals, clinics, research institutions, and other healthcare organizations, including their services, accreditation status, and quality indicators.
Medical directories can be used for a variety of purposes, such as finding a specialist in a particular field, locating a nearby hospital or clinic, verifying the credentials of a healthcare provider, or conducting research on healthcare trends and outcomes. Some medical directories may also include patient reviews and ratings, which can help consumers make informed decisions about their care.
Examples of medical directories include the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Masterfile, the National Provider Identifier (NPI) Registry, and the Healthcare Bluebook.
According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), biological products are "products that are made from or contain a living organism or its derivatives, such as vaccines, blood and blood components, cells, genes, tissues, and proteins." These products can be composed of sugars, proteins, nucleic acids, or complex combinations of these substances, and they can come from many sources, including humans, animals, microorganisms, or plants.
Biological products are often used to diagnose, prevent, or treat a wide range of medical conditions, and they can be administered in various ways, such as through injection, inhalation, or topical application. Because biological products are derived from living organisms, their manufacturing processes can be complex and must be tightly controlled to ensure the safety, purity, and potency of the final product.
It's important to note that biological products are not the same as drugs, which are chemically synthesized compounds. While drugs are designed to interact with specific targets in the body, such as enzymes or receptors, biological products can have more complex and varied mechanisms of action, making them potentially more difficult to characterize and regulate.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Malaysia" is not a medical term or concept. It is a country located in Southeast Asia, consisting of thirteen states and three federal territories. If you have any questions about Malaysia's geography, culture, or people, I would be happy to try to help answer those! However, if you have a question related to medicine or healthcare, please provide more details so I can give you an accurate and helpful response.
Medicinal plants are defined as those plants that contain naturally occurring chemical compounds which can be used for therapeutic purposes, either directly or indirectly. These plants have been used for centuries in various traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Native American medicine, to prevent or treat various health conditions.
Medicinal plants contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, and saponins, among others. These compounds have been found to possess various pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.
Medicinal plants can be used in various forms, including whole plant material, extracts, essential oils, and isolated compounds. They can be administered through different routes, such as oral, topical, or respiratory, depending on the desired therapeutic effect.
It is important to note that while medicinal plants have been used safely and effectively for centuries, they should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Some medicinal plants can interact with prescription medications or have adverse effects if used inappropriately.
Anti-obesity agents are medications that are used to treat obesity and overweight. They work by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, decreasing fat absorption, or increasing metabolism. Some examples of anti-obesity agents include orlistat, lorcaserin, phentermine, and topiramate. These medications are typically used in conjunction with diet and exercise to help people lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight. It's important to note that these medications can have side effects and should be used under the close supervision of a healthcare provider.
I apologize for any confusion, but "books" is a general term that refers to bound sets of pages that are printed or written with text, illustrations, or signs, and are meant to be read, studied, or consulted. It does not have a specific medical definition. If you're looking for information about a specific medical term or concept, please let me know and I'd be happy to help!
In the context of medical terminology, a directory generally refers to a list or catalog of healthcare providers, organizations, or services. It can be used to provide information about various aspects such as their names, contact details, specialties, qualifications, and locations. This type of directory is often found in hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, and medical associations to facilitate access to healthcare resources for patients, practitioners, and administrative purposes.
