Anti-Inflammatory, Analgesic, Antipyretic and Antibacterial Activity of Astragalus siculus Biv

Evaluation of anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities and the phytochemical study of Astragalus arbusculinus gum in animal models

“…For example, some fraction and compounds isolated from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus have shown anti-inflammatory activity in an in vitro study [27] . In another study, Astragalus siculus showed anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in animal models [28] . The anti-inflammatory activity of Astragalus hamosus was determined in a study by Hakim et al [29] .…”

Antifungal activities of Astragalus verus Olivier. against Trichophyton verrucosum on in vitro and in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis

“…Preincubation of their peripheral blood mononuclear cells with Astragalus stimulated natural killer cell cytotoxicity in systemic lupus erythematosus patients and in healthy controls 40 . The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of several crude extracts from different parts of other Astragalus species have been reported 41–43 . Astragalus has also demonstrated in vitro antibacterial activity against Shigella dysenteriae, Streptococcus hemolyticus, Diplococcus pneumonia, and Staphylococcus aureus 43 .…”

“…Various extracts of Astragalus siculus Biv. (endemic to Sicily) showed marked antiinflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic and antimicrobial effects against gram‐negative and gram‐positive bacteria responsible for urinary tract infections 41 . Both aqueous and acetone extracts demonstrated antifungal activities comparable to griseofulvin at the concentration 320 mg ml −1 .…”

Evaluation of Antibacterial and Antitumor Activities of Some Turkish Endemic Plants

“…A. gymnolobus extracts were also effective only on Aeromonas hydrophila among tested five different fish pathogens [24]. The moderate antibacterial activities of some members of Astragalus species (A. siculus, A. gummifer, A. membranaceus, A. malanophrurius and A. verrucosus) were recorded against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria [10,25]. A. siculus showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, Streptococcus faecalis, [25].…”
