Pharmacological investigation of Cassia italica

Analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Cassia siamea Lam. stem bark extracts

“…though the Cassia genus presents other anti-inflammatory species such as Cassia italica (Jain et al, 1997). In conclusion, this study confirmed the antinociceptive properties of Cassia siamea observed during the ethnobotanical surveys.…”

“…Petroleum ether extract CSE1 showed no analgesic activity. It is the first time that the analgesic activity of Cassia siamea is demonstrated, although we know that several other species of the Cassia genus have antinociceptive properties: Cassia singueana, antipyretic and analgesic (Adzu et al, 2003), Cassia tora, whose activity antinociceptive has proved comparable to that of aspirin (Chidume et al, 2002), Cassia alata, whose activity has been attributed by the authors to kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside (Palanichamy and Nagarajan, 1990;Sukma et al, 2002), Cassia italica, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and slightly analgesic (Jain et al, 1997).…”

Antimicrobial activity of sequential extracts from leaves of Cassia nodosa bunch

“…In this regard, Cassia species have been of keen interest in phytochemical and pharmacological research due to their excellent medicinal values. Different classes of natural products, possessing potent physiological and pharmacological activities have been isolated from Cassia species, and they include anthracene derivatives, flavonoids and polysaccharides (Jain et al, 1997). Some of these compounds have been shown to possess considerable antimicrobial activity (Ayo et al, 2007).…”

Anti-emetic activity of four species of Genus Cassia in chicks

“…Ander and Cassia purpurea Roxb., are reported as laxative 7 , vermifuge, resolvent, blood purifier, carminative, digestive, diaphoretic [14][15][16], astringent, antipyretic, diuretic [17], anti-diabetic and anthelmintic [18]. The chemical literature survey of these plants revealed the presence of glycosides [19][20][21][22] , sterols [23,24] flavonoids, saponins [25] and alkaloids [26,27].…”
