In West African medicine, Entada africana Guill. & Perr. from the family of Fabaceae is used to treat inflammatory conditions in the management of fractures, wounds, and sprains in the northern region of the Republic of Benin. The aim of the present study was to isolate and elucidate phenolic compounds from a hydroalcoholic leaf extract from E. afr...
Plant materials of Warburgia ugandensis have long been used in traditional African medicine due to their broad spectrum of biological activity. Here, we describe an efficient and mild isolation of three major compounds polygodial 1a, warburganal 2a, and muzigadial 2b using Soxhlet extraction and combined preparative separation methods. Furthermore,...
The leaves of Piliostigma thonningii are used in traditional medicine in Benin to treat inflammatory skin diseases and infections. So far, pharmacological studies of the anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effects of phytochemically characterized extracts of P. thonningii have been very limited. Therefore, we investigated the in vitro anti-inflamm...
Zusammenfassung
In der Zone südlich der Sahara gibt es etwa 7000 verschiedene Pflanzenarten, die ein großes Potenzial haben, zur Ernährungs- und Gesundheitsversorgung der 1,2 Milliarden Einwohner dieser Region beizutragen. Besonders in Benin, einem Staat in Westafrika, sind Heilpflanzen eine wichtige natürliche Ressource, die 80–99 % der Bevölkerun...
Leaves from Combretum collinum Fresen (Combretaceae) are commonly used for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, wound healing and bacterial infections in traditional West African medicine. This research focuses on the characterization of the phenolic profile and lipophilic compounds of leaves extracts of C. collinum. Studies of the in vitro an...
Herbal medicinal products have been used since several decades for the health care of children. Nevertheless, well-controlled clinical studies with herbal medicinal products for children are rare. The authors' objective therefore was to evaluate clinical trials with herbal medicinal products in children, based on a literature search in PubMed and W...

P2X7 receptors have been suggested to be located both on neurons and astrocytes of the central and peripheral nervous systems. In the present Ca(2+)-imaging and patch-clamp study, we reinvestigated these findings on mixed neuronal-astrocytic cell cultures prepared from embryonic or newborn rat hippocampi. We found in a Mg(2+)-free bath medium that...
Literaturrecherchen sind zentraler Bestandteil des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens, um sich über den neuesten Forschungsstand in einem bestimmten Themenfeld zu informieren oder sich in ein neues Thema einzuarbeiten. Neben effektiven Suchstrategien sind die richtigen Suchbegriffe wesentlich für den Erfolg der Recherche. Es wird die Vorgehensweise bei e...
