Current and future distribution pattern of Cochlospermum planchonii and Cochlospermum tinctorium in Benin (West Africa), in response to climate change scenario

Modeling Earth Systems and Environment, 2021
Cochlospermum tinctorium and Cochlospermum planchonii highly contribute to complementary diet, health care, monetary income, and livelihood security across rural communities of West African countries as Benin. Though, facing the environmental impacts of climate change, several plants species, of which Cochlospermum species population are expected to be

Antihepatotoxic actions of Cochlospermum tinctorium rhizomes

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1987
The antihepatotoxic activity of the rhizomes of Cochlospermum tinctorium was investigated using carbon tetrachloride- and galactosamine-induced cytotoxicity in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Because the methanol and ethanol extracts of C. tinctorium rhizomes exhibited antihepatotoxic effects, the former was fractionated in order to elucidate the ...

Cochlospermum planchonii Hook.f. ex Planch. and Cochlospermum tinctorium Perrier ex A. Rich.: extent of knowledge and prospects for sustainable use in West Africa

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2020
Cochlospermum planchonii Hook.f. ex Planch. and Cochlospermum tinctorium Perrier ex A. Rich. are two wild edible plant species (WEPs), widely used in the West African Sudanian zone. Their parts are used as food additive, fodder, medical-magic and ethnoveterinary purposes, dye and arts. Unfortunately, the overexploitation of their rootstocks constitutes

Apocarotenoids from Cochlospermum tinctorium

Phytochemistry, 1987
Abstract Seven carotenoids have been isolated from Cochlospermum tinctorium by means of countercurrent chromatography and HPLC. The two major constituents were identified by spectroscopic methods (UV-VIS, IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and EIMS) as 6-hydroxy-8′-apo-e-caroten-3-one-8′-oic acid (cochloxanthin) and 4,5-dihydro-6-hydroxy-8′-apo-e-caroten-

Further studies on the hepatoprotective effects of Cochlospermum tinctorium rhizomes

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1992
The hepatoprotective activity of the rhisome of Cochlospermum tinctorium was investigated using carbon tetrachloride toxicity on mouse and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in vitro induction of lipid peroxidation and hepatocyte lysis. Aqueous, hydro-ethanolic and ethanolic extracts showed significant dose-dependent hepatoprotective actions.

Antimalarial activity in vitro of Cochlospermum tinctorium tubercle extracts

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995
Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to current antimalarial compounds has drastically increased during the last few years and is now a major public health problem. We have studied plants traditionally used in Africa against malaria. Extracts of the tubercles of Cochlospermum tinctorium A.

Acute and subacute toxicity of Cochlospermum regium (Mart. & Schr.) Pilger

Phytotherapy Research, 2000
The toxicity of a hydroethanol extract of the subterranean part of Cochlospermum regium was evaluated in mice and rats. The extract had moderate acute toxicity when administered intraperitoneally and low toxicity upon oral administration. A subacute toxicity test revealed that the extract is well tolerated by these animals.

Ontogenesis and variation of wood ‘parenchymatization’ in Cochlospermum vitifolium (Bixaceae)

IAWA Journal
Summary Axial parenchyma proliferation (non-lignified parenchyma) in wood has been characterized for only a few species. In the present study, we characterized the proliferation, ontogeny, and seasonal variation of wood axial parenchyma in Cochlospermum vitifolium (Bixaceae). This study included material from natural populations from different sites in

N’Dribala (Cochlospermum planchonii) versus chloroquine for treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2003
The aim of this work was to assess the efficacy of oral N'Dribala (tuberous roots decoction of Cochlospermum planchonii Hook) treatment versus chloroquine in non-severe malaria. The study included 85 patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infection in Banfora, Burkina Faso. Forty-six patients that received N'Dribala beverage were compared to

Structural assignment of a heteropolysaccharide isolated from the gum of Cochlospermum religiosum (Katira gum)

Carbohydrate Research, 2008
A heteropolysaccharide isolated from the gum (Katira) of Cochlospermum religiosum was found to consist of D-galactose, D-galacturonic acid and L-rhamnose in a molar ratio 2:1:3. Structural assignment of the polysaccharide was carried out using total acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, Smith degradation and NMR studies (1H, 13C ...
