Anti-Inflammatory Activity of a Polymeric Proanthocyanidin from Serjania schiedeana. [PDF]
Molecules, 2017 The ethyl acetate extract (SsAcOEt) from Serjania schiedeana, select fractions (F-6, F-12, F-13, F-14), and one isolated compound, were evaluated in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) ear edema and kaolin/carrageenan (KC)-induced monoarthritis assays. SsEtOAc induced edema inhibition of 90% (2.0 mg/ear), fractions showed activity within a range

Synergistic Effect of Lupenone and Caryophyllene Oxide against Trypanosoma cruzi
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The in vitro trypanocidal activity of a 1 : 4 mixture of lupenone and caryophyllene oxide confirmed a synergistic effect of the terpenoids against epimastigotes forms of T. cruzi (IC50 = 10.4 μg/mL, FIC = 0.46). In addition, testing of the terpenoid mixture for its capacity to reduce the number of amastigote nests in cardiac tissue and skeletal muscle ...
