An oil extract was prepared from the above-ground part of the snakeflower Lamium album; this contained a total chlorophyll derivative content of 0.46 ± 0.02 mg/ml. The extractant was a biphasic system consisting of ethanol and sunflower oil. Studies of the biological activities of the snakeflower oil extract were performed in models of hemolytic and iron-deficiency anemia. The antianemic activity of Lamium album L. was assessed in each of these models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
