Capillary zone electrophoresis for separation and analysis of hydroxycitric acid and hydroxycitric acid lactone: Application to herbal products of Garcinia atroviridis Griff

Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, 2008
Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was developed for quantitative determination of hydroxycitric acid and hydroxycitric acid lactone in herbal products of Garcinia atroviridis Griff. Resolution optimization was investigated by varying type, concentration and pH of buffers.

Glycation of aspartate aminotransferase by methylglyoxal, effect of hydroxycitric and uric acid

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2009
Glycation is a process closely related to the aging and pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Reactive alpha-dicarbonyl compounds (e.g., methylglyoxal) are formed during middle stage of glycation reaction. Compounds that would inhibit the glycation process have been seeked for years.

Plant Growth Inhibitory Activity of Hibiscus sabdariffa Calyx and the Phytotoxicity of Hydroxycitric Acid Lactone

Agronomy, 2023
Weeds pose major constraints in crop production. The use of allelochemicals and allelopathic species can provide an effective alternative for sustainable weed management. In a previous study that evaluated the allelopathic activity of wild and cultivated

Improvisation of a spectrophotometric method to quantify hydroxycitric acid

Analytical Biochemistry, 2019
Existing spectrophotometric method to quantify hydroxycitric acid (HCA), although is specific and sensitive; finds limited use owing to poor stability of HCA-metavanadate complex. Present study describes improvisation of this method with respect to source of HCA standard and assay parameters.

Hydroxycitric Acid (Hca)-A Potent Nutraceuticals

Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology, 2019
On a global scale, obesity has reached epidemic proportions and is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability [1]. Currently, more than one billion adults worldwide are overweight and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese (WHO, 2018). Currently, there are many treatments available for obesity; one such method

Chemistry, physiological properties, and microbial production of hydroxycitric acid

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2007
The tropical plants Garcinia cambogia and Hibiscus subdariffa produce hydroxycitric acid (HCA), of which the absolute configurations are (2S,3S) and (2S,3R), respectively. (2S,3S)-HCA is an inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase, which is involved in fatty acid synthesis.

Chemistry and Biochemistry of (−)-Hydroxycitric Acid from Garcinia

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2001
(-)-Hydroxycitric acid [(-)-HCA] is the principal acid of fruit rinds of Garcinia cambogia, Garcinia indica, and Garcinia atroviridis. (-)-HCA was shown to be a potent inhibitor of ATP citrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.8), which catalyzes the extramitochondrial cleavage of citrate to oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA: citrate + ATP + CoA --> acetyl-CoA + ADP + P(i ...

Lipid-lowering and antiobesity effect of (−)hydroxycitric acid

Nutrition Research, 1988
Abstract Albino rats of Wistar strain were fed lipogenic diet with and without the addition of (−)hydroxycitrate for a period of 15 days. Daily food intake and weekly body weight gain of the animals were recorded during the feeding period. The animals were then sacrificed, blood, liver and epididymal fat were collected and analysed for selected ...

Comparative effects of (−)‐hydroxycitrate and (+)‐allo‐hydroxycitrate on acetyl CoA carboxylase and fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis in vivo

Lipids, 1977
Abstract(−)‐Hydroxycitrate and (+)‐allo‐hydroxycitrate were investigated for their effects on lipid synthesis in vivo under conditions of either high carbohydrate feeding or 24 hr fasting. Changes in rates of lipid synthesis resulting from the oral administration of these compounds were monitored with the use of radiolabeled H2O, alanine, and acetate ...
