Steroids isolated from Millettia versicolor Baker (Fabaceae)

“…Pain-relieving activity is well supported by our study, since 5 of the 7 isolated compounds have a reported antiinflammatory effect (stigmasterol) Gomez et al, 1999), (lupeol) Della et al, 1994;Ramirez et al, 2004;Geetha and Varalakshmi, 2001), (24-methylene-cycloartan-3β-ol) Yasukawa et al, 1998), (taraxasterol and β-amyrin) Della et al, 1994) and 2 of these have also antinociceptive activity (3 -amyrin) (Lima et al, 2006;Otuki et al, 2005), (stigmasterol) (Santos et al, 1995). Lupeol and β-amyrin both have a hepatoprotective effect (Preetha et al, 2006;Sunitha et al, 2001; and lupeol also has a nephroprotective effect (Nagaraj, 2000). None of the 7 determined compounds had a reported anthelmintic activity.…”

Pharmacological properties and stability of natural–colored foods: a literature review

“…Natural food colors (bio-colorants) can play a positive role in human healthiness because they contain biologically active compounds with multiple pharmacological properties, such as potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and anti-atherosclerotic effects (Saleem et al , 2018; Nagaraj et al , 2000; Moriarity et al , 1998). Carotenoids are also used as vitamin supplements because β-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A. Carotenoids act as biological antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals and singlet oxygen in the body.…”
