An investigation into chemical and biological assays of new compounds from aloesMapp, R K January 1969 (has links)
The drug aloes has been known since earliest times and is mentioned in the Ebers papyrus of circa 1,500 B.C. Alexander the Great is reported to have sent a commission to Socotra to investigate the aloes grown there. The chemical composition of aloes is complex, and being of plant origin, subject to variation. Both the complexity of the chemical constituents and their biological variation has resulted in a very large volume of conflicting material being published on this drug export. Since aloes is used as a purgative for both human and veterinary use, it is obviously important that the dosage and consequently the active constituents, should comply to an accurate means of standardisation. To date, despite extensive world wide research into this drug such standardisation has not been achieved. Even the methods used for the assay of the principal constituent, aloin, vary considerably in their results, and to complicate matters new chemical principles have been isolated from aloes in recent years. Consequently the purpose of this work has been to investigate the main chemical assay methods currently in use, and to determine which was the most accurate, and why discrepancies occurred in the selected assay methods. furthermore the results obtained by chemical assay have been compared with those obtained by biological assay in an attempt to correlate aloin content with purgative activity. Newly isolated compounds have been investigated biologically for the first time, and the biological assays of the resinous, glycosidal and other compounds of aloes have been performed. Intro. p.1-2.

Efeito antinociceptivo, antiinflamatório e antioxidante da Aloe saponaria Haw em modelos de queimadura em ratos / Antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of Aloe saponaria Haw in a model of burn in ratsSilva, Mariane Arnoldi da 19 December 2013 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / In Brazil, the plant Aloe saponaria Haw, popularly known as babosa pintadinha , has been empirically used for its potential effect on skin burn injury, there are no scientific data confirming its popular use. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Aloe saponaria on nociceptive, inflammatory and antioxidants parameters in rat models of thermal injury. Adult male Wistar rats were subjected to a thermal injury (immersion in water at 70 or 37 ºC, respectively, for 5 or 8 seconds) or sunburn (induced by UVB irradiation), in both experiments the animals were anesthetized. Burned animals were topically treated with vehicle (base cream), sulfadiazine 1% (positive control) or Aloe saponaria cream (0.3-30%) once a day for 2 or 6 days. Each day, 30 min before the treatment, we measured nociceptive (static and dynamic mechanical allodynia, thermal allodynia and spontaneous pain), inflammatory (paw edema) parameters and oxidative stress (increases in H2O2, protein carbonyl levels and lipid peroxidation and a decrease in thiol content). In addition, was also evaluated infiltration of leukocytes in injured tissue (for histology or by measuring the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO), N - acetyl - glucosaminidase (NAGase) and eosinoperoxidase (EPO), for neutrophils, macrophages, and eosinophils infiltration, respectively), were also determined 2 or 6 days after the thermal injury. With different efficacies time of action, the topical treatment with the Aloe saponaria cream (10%) and sulfadiazine (1%) decreased nociception, edema and leukocyte infiltration in animals induced by either thermal injury scald burn), or by UVB radiation. Moreover, the treatment with A. saponaria reduced the oxidative stress of the skin of animals irradiated with UVB, an effect that appears to be due to the antioxidant action produced by both the extract of A. saponaria, and by some of these constituents (rutin and aloin).
Thus, our results demonstrate that topical application of A. saponaria showed antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant models of thermal injury (scald burn or solar radiation), which confirms the benefits of its traditional use for burn injuries effects. / Apesar da planta Aloe saponaria Haw, conhecida popularmente como "babosa pintadinha", ser utilizada na medicina popular brasileira devido ao seu efeito benéfico sobre lesões por queimaduras de pele, não existem dados científicos que confirmem o seu uso popular. Dessa forma o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar os efeitos da A. saponaria em relação aos parâmetros nociceptivos, inflamatórios e oxidantes em modelos de lesão térmica em ratos. Para isso foram utilizados ratos Wistar machos adultos submetidos ou não à lesão térmica (causada pela imersão da pata em água a 37 ou 70 ºC durante 8 ou 5 segundos em animais anestesiados) ou queimaduras solares (induzida por radiação ultravioleta B (UVB) em animais anestesiados). Os animais foram topicamente tratados com o veículo (creme base - Lanete), sulfadiazina de 1% (controle positivo) ou com extrato de A. saponaria (0,3-30%) uma vez por dia, durante 2 ou 6 dias. Cada dia, 30 minutos antes do próximo tratamento, foram avaliados parâmetros nociceptivos (alodínia mecânica estática e dinâmica, alodínia térmica e dor espontânea), parâmetros inflamatórios (edema da pata) e estresse oxidativo (aumento dos níveis de peróxido de hidrogênio-H2O2, proteína carbonilada ou peroxidação lipídica e redução dos níveis de tióis). Além disso, em alguns tempos após os diferentes estímulos também foi avaliado a infiltração de leucócitos no tecido lesado (por análise histológica ou pela medida das atividades da mieloperoxidase - MPO, N-acetil-glucosaminidase - NAGase e eosinoperoxidase - EPO para neutrófilos, macrófagos e eosinófilos, respectivamente). Com diferentes eficácias temporais de ação, o tratamento tópico com o creme de Aloe saponaria (10%) ou de sulfadiazina (1%) reduziu a nocicepção, o edema e a infiltração de leucócitos nos animais com lesão térmica induzida tanto por água aquecida, quanto por radiação UVB. Além disso, o tratamento com A. saponaria reduziu o estresse oxidativo da pele de animais irradiada com UVB, um efeito que parece ser devido a ação antioxidante produzida tanto pelo extrato de A. saponaria, quanto por alguns de seus constituintes (aloína e rutina). Dessa forma, os nossos resultados demonstram que a aplicação tópica de A. saponaria apresentou efeitos antinociceptivos, antiinflamatórios e antioxidantes em modelos de lesão térmica (água aquecida ou radiação solar), o que confirma os benefícios do seu uso tradicional para lesões por queimaduras.
