Bioactivity of Extractives fromStachytarpheta urticaefolia

Abstract: The n-hexane and methanol extracts of Stachytarpheta urticaefolia leaves exhibited significant antinociceptive effects (p < 0.01) in acetic acid-induced writhing model at a dose of 250 mg/kg b.w. Two compounds isolated from the plant, ipolamiide (1) and a-spinasterol (2), were also found to be potent inhibitors of acetic acid-induced writhing on mice at 50 mg/kg b.w. (p < 0.01). Abortifacient activity was demonstrated within 20 h of administration of a methanolic leaf extract at 200 mg/kg b.w. The methanolic l… Show more

“…Although there is no evidence of antibacterial activity, the anti-inflammatory effects of ipolamiide have been demonstrated in several studies [40,43,46]. Ipolamiide was isolated from S. indica by Tantisewie and Sticher [47] and Roengsumaran et al [48], although there was no indication of biological activities.…”
