Anti-inflammatory effect of Acacia visco extracts in animal models

Abstract: The aqueous and organic extracts of Acacia visco Lor. Ap Griseb (Fabaceae) were tested for antiinflammatory activity in experimental models in rat. Besides, the free-radical scavenging capacity of extracts from A. visco was determined. The extracts revealed antiinflammatory effect against carrageenan-induced oedema, phospholipase A 2 -induced oedema, cotton pellet-induced granuloma and they did not show acute toxic effect. Among the class of compounds characterized from A. visco leaves, the triterpenoid 20(29)… Show more

“…Two hours after CG injection, there is the release of histamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, bradykinin, and serotonin, among other substances. Afterwards, increased COX-2 expression and prostaglandin production, monocyte mobilization, macrophage migration, and nitric oxide production maintain the edema up to 4 to 6 h after CG injection [23,24].…”

“…Lupeol is the highest compound in n-hexane extract (16,52%). Lupeol also found in the stem bark of Acacia mellifera and Acacia visco, and its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities have been already demonstrated (Mutai et al 2009, Pedemera et al 2010. Lupeol is the pentacyclic triterpenes belonging to the lupane family.…”

“…In this study, the phytochemical composition of crude Faidherbia albida (Mimosaceae) roots and leaves extracts and fractions from methylene chloride/methanol (1v, 1v), n-hexane, and ethyl acetate solvents, afforded 14 compounds for the first time by silica gel column chromatography and identified as 3β-Friedelinol 26 (1), Friedelan-3-one 27 (2), Heptadecanoic acid 28 4a,6b,8a,11,11,12b,14a-octamethyl-docosahydropicen-3-yloxy)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triol 30 (5), Brassicasterol Benzoate 31 (6), Kaempferol 32 (7), Trans-Tiliroside 33 (8), Lupeol [33][34] (9), Betulin 27 (10), Maslinic acid 27 (11), Oleanolic acid 35 (12), Quercetin-3-O-αrhamnoside 30 (13) and Apigenin 30 (14). The structures of the compounds were determined by analysis of their NMR data and comparison with those reported in the literature (Figure 1).…”
