Hypolipidemic, Hypoglycemic and Antioxidant Activities of Flower Extracts of <i>Allamanda violacea</i> A.DC. (Apocynaceae)

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the anti-dyslipidemic, anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activities of the aqueous extract and solvent fractions of A. violacea flowers. Methods:The aqueous extract was fractionated into petroleum ether, ether, chloroform, chloroformmethanol (4:1) and chloroform-methanol (3:2) 24, 23, 23 and 22 %, and 24, 22, 23 and 19 %, respectively. In rats fed with high fat diet (HFD), ether and chloroform fractions lowered Tc, Tg and, Pl by 26, 25 and 26 %,and 18, 19 and 20 %, respectively. Signif… Show more

“…In this 18-h acute experiment, hyperlipidemia was induced by the administration of triton WR-1339 [12][13][14][15] (Sigma chemical company, St. Louis, MO, USA) intraperitoneally at a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight to rats of all the groups except the control group. The compounds were macerated with gum acacia suspended in water (0.2 % w/v) and fed orally simultaneously with triton at a dose of 100 mg/kg [16,17] and the diet was withdrawn. Rats of the control and triton-treated groups were given the same amount of the gum acacia suspension (vehicle).…”

“…Thankamani et al ( 2011) evaluated different solvents in the production of floral extracts from Alstonia scholaris (Apocynaceae), where they obtained a yield of 8.6 g% (hexane), 3.8 g% (benzene), 3.41 g% (propanol), 3.41 g% (ethyl acetate), 0.57 g% (methanol), 0.66 g% (acetonitrile) and 23.04 g% (water). Sethi (2012) evaluating different fractions of the floral hydroethanolic extract of Allamanda violacea obtained the following yields: petroleum ether 0.052%, ether 0.115%, chloroform 0.092%, chloroform:methanol 0.083%, and chloroform:methanol 0.068%.…”

“…Plants of this family have been traditionally used for their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumours (Chopra et al 1956;Ahmad, Usmaghani, et al 1983, 1988Ahmad, Noorwala, et al 1993;Masoodi et al 2008;Mahmood et al 2010), immunostimulant (Pan et al 2003(Pan et al , 2013, antidiabetic (Noor et al 2013), anti-oxidant, antimicrobial, anti-complementary, antiepileptic and antineoplastic activities (Piacente et al 1998;Sethi et al 2008Sethi et al , 2012Sethi et al , 2013MacLeod et al 1997). In the search of these novel compounds, various species of the genus Hoya have been examined chemically and a number of biologically active steroids and their glycosides have been isolated (Mahmood et al 2012;Dembitsky et al 2004).…”
