Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase expression by a methanolic extract of Crescentia alata and its derived flavonols

Life Sciences, 2001
In order to validate the use of Crescentia alata (Bignoniaceae) in the traditional medicine of Guatemala as an antiinflammatory remedy, the methanolic (MeOH) extract has been evaluated in vivo for antiinflammatory activity on carrageenin paw edema in rats and in vitro on Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide- (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production ...

The Pattern of Colonization of Epiphytes on Calabash Trees (Crescentia alata HBK.) in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

We examined the structure of the community of epiphytes growing on Crescentia alata trees in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica. Four orchid species were dominant in this community, showing a distinct order of colonization of the calabash trees, with Oncidium cebolleta colonizing first, Encyclia cordigera second, Brassavola nodosa third, and Laelia ...
