Insulinotropic Effect of Citrullus colocynthis Fruit Extracts

Planta Medica, 2000
Infusions of Citrullus colocynthis Schrad. (Cucurbitaceae) fruits are traditionally used as antidiabetic medication in Mediterranean countries, but to our knowledge no studies have been undertaken so far to determine the possible mechanisms involved in the antidiabetic properties of the fruit. The present study was designed to investigate whether these

C-p-hydroxybenzoylglycoflavones from Citrullus colocynthis

Phytochemistry, 1997
Abstract In a flavonoid investigation of the fruits and aerial parts of Citrullus colocynthis six flavone C -glycosides were identified. The fruits contained isovitexin, iso-orientin and iso-orientin 3′-methyl ether, while the aerial parts contained three new C - p -hydroxybenzyl derivatives, viz.

Genetic diversity among watermelon (Citrullus lanatus and Citrullus colocynthis) accessions

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2001
Genetic diversity was estimated among 42 U.S. PlantIntroduction (PI) accessions of the genusCitrullus (of these, 34 PIs are reported tohave disease resistance), and 5 watermelon cultivars, using 30RAPD primers. These primers produced 662 RAPD markers that could berated with high confidence.
