VIRTUAL SCREENING OF SAPONIN DERIVATIVES TARGETING ENZYMES ENDOTHELIAL NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE AND CYTOCHROME P450 2E1
Saponin derivatives from Vietnamese ginseng are proven for their efficacies in modulating oxidative stress, but there had been no reports about the interaction between them and two enzymes, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1). eNOS and CYP2E1 are proposed to be attractive targets for the development of inhibitors against oxidative stress, a contributing factor...

BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LOWERING EFFECT OF ADENANTHERA PAVONINA SEED EXTRACT ON ATHEROGENIC DIET INDUCED HYPERLIPIDEMIA RATS
The effect of Adenanthera pavonina (AP) seed extract on the blood cholesterol level of atherogenic diet rats was evaluated. Twelve adult male Wistar rats divided into 3 groups of 4 animals each were used and were treated orally with normal saline (Control group), atherogenic diet (Positive control) and 200mg/kg of AP seed extract (treatment) over a 4-week period. The present study was undertaken t...
