Hibiscus acid from Hibiscus sabdariffa (Malvaceae) has a vasorelaxant effect on the rat aorta [PDF]

open access: yesFìtoterapìâ, 2019
Hibiscus sabdariffa (Malvaceae) is a plant that is widely recognised for its antihypertensive properties; however the constituent(s) responsible for this biological activity are presently unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the potential compounds that are responsible for the vasorelaxant activity of H. sabdariffa. Thereafter, the mechanisms

Exogenous Melatonin and Salicylic Acid Enhance the Drought Tolerance of Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus L.) by Regulating Photosynthesis and Antioxidant System

open access: yesJournal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2023
Abstract Drought is among the environmental stress factors that causes a decrease in plant productivity. A hot topic in abiotic stress physiology research is how to alleviate drought stress during plant growth. Exogenous substances have been observed to play a positive role in regulating plant responses to drought. Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus L.

Hibiscus Acid as an Inhibitor of Starch Digestion in the Caco-2 Cell Model System [PDF]

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 2001
Hibiscus acid, an alpha-amylase inhibitor isolated from roselle tea, and its derivatives were compared in an inhibition test for starch digestion. An alpha-amylase-added Caco-2 system was established as a useful model to evaluate the effects of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors on starch digestion.

ULTRASTRUCTURE AND ACID PHOSPHATASE IN PEDICEL ABSCISSION OF HIBISCUS

American Journal of Botany, 1976
Pedicel abscission in Hibiscus rosa‐sinensis was investigated by light and electron microscopy. During the pre‐abscission period endoplasmic reticulum declined somewhat, dictyosomes increased in number and apparent activity, and mitochondria maintained their numbers.

Hibiscus protocatechuic acid inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced rat hepatic damage

Archives of Toxicology, 2003
Hibiscus protocatechuic acid (PCA), a phenolic compound found in the dried flowers of Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (Malvaceae), was demonstrated to have an antioxidant effect in vitro and in vivo, and an antitumor property in our previous study. In the present study, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS, an endotoxin) to induce rat liver inducible nitric oxide ...

Inhibitory effect of Hibiscus protocatechuic acid on tumor promotion in mouse skin

Cancer Letters, 1998
Hibiscus protocatechuic acid (PCA), a phenolic acid isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa L., was evaluated for its ability to inhibit the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced promotion in skin tumors of female CD-1 mice. Topical application of PCA (5, 10 or 20 micromol) 5 min prior to TPA (15 nmol) treatment twice weekly for 20 weeks to mice

AN OXYGENATED FATTY ACID FROM THE SEED OIL OF HIBISCUS ESCULENTUS

Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 1957
The fatty acids of okra seed oil (Hibiscusesculentus L.) were examined. Acetylation of the oil, followed by saponification and separation of the acids, gave 12,13-dihydroxyoleic acid. From this and other evidence it is concluded that 12,13-epoxyoleic acid is present as a constituent of the glycerides.
