In vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of columbin through the inhibition of cycloxygenase-2 and nitric oxide but not the suppression of NF-κB translocation.

Eur. J. Pharmacol. 678(1-3) , 61-70, (2012)

Columbin, a diterpenoid furanolactone, was isolated purely for the first time from the plant species Tinspora bakis. The anti-inflammatory effects of columbin were studied in vitro, in silico and in vivo. The effect of columbin on nitric oxide was examined on...

A bitter diterpenoid furanolactone columbin from Calumbae Radix inhibits azoxymethane-induced rat colon carcinogenesis.

Cancer Lett. 183(2) , 131-9, (2002)

The modifying effect of dietary administration of a diterpenoid furanolactone columbin isolated from the crude drug Calumbae Radix (the root of Jateorhiza columba MIERS, Menispermacea) on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced was investigated in male F344 rats. Animals ...

Inhibition of Naja nigricolis venom acidic phospholipase A2 catalysed hydrolysis of ghost red blood cells by columbin.

J. Enzyme Inhib. Med. Chem. 17(1) , 55-9, (2002)

The inhibitory effects of a naturally occurring diterpenoid furanolactone, columbin, on partially purified acidic phospholipase A2 (PLA2) from Naja nigricolis was investigated. Columbin inhibited the N. nigricolis PLA2 in a dose related pattern with an IC50 v...

Columbin isolated from calumbae radix affects the sleeping time of anesthetized mice.

Biol. Pharm. Bull. 18(4) , 634-6, (1995)

In a screening series of bioactive components in edible and medicinal plants, we found that Calumbae Radix (Colombo root, 1% powdered feed, for 5 d) and its component, columbin (20-40 mg/kg/d, for 5 d, orally), shortened the sleeping time induced by a urethan...

Columbin inhibits cholesterol uptake in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei-A possible trypanocidal mechanism.

J. Enzyme Inhib. Med. Chem. 20(4) , 365-8, (2005)

The diterpenoid furanolactone (columbin) from Aristolochia albida inhibited growth of culture forms of Trypanosoma brucei. In vitro analysis of the compound at 5-250 microg/ml showed complete lysis of the parasites within 10-20 minutes post incubation. At 50 ...

Quantitative LC/MS/MS method and pharmacokinetic studies of columbin, an anti-inflammation furanoditerpen isolated from Radix Tinosporae.

Biomed. Chromatogr. 21(6) , 642-8, (2007)

Columbin is an important component isolated from Radix Tinosporae. It has been demonstrated to possess many pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammation, antitumor and inhibition of enzyme activity in vivo. The purpose of the present study was to e...
