Modulation Of Natural Killer Cell Activity By Water Soluble Polysaccharides From The Roots Of Asparagus Racemosus Linn, M Thakur, P Connellan, Myrna Deseo, Carol Morris, V Dixit Oct 2013

Modulation Of Natural Killer Cell Activity By Water Soluble Polysaccharides From The Roots Of Asparagus Racemosus Linn, M Thakur, P Connellan, Myrna Deseo, Carol Morris, V Dixit

Dr Myrna A Deseo

Asparagus racemosus L. (Fam. Liliaceae) is an ethno-pharmacologically acclaimed Ayurvedic medicinal plant [1]. The plant belongs to the category of 'Rasayana' i.e., plants possessing immunomodulatory and adaptogenic activity [2]. Although there have been claims on immune system potentiation by aqueous extracts of A. racemosus, there is a lack of information specifying the exact molecular mechanism and phytochemical components responsible for the immuno-stimulatory activity.

In the present study, an aqueous extract of A. racemosus (ARC) was further fractionated to isolate the polysaccharide fraction (ARP). The isolated polysaccharides (ARP) were characterized by enzymatic, size exclusion, GC-FID, and thin layer chromatographic analyses. …

Chemical Composition And Biological Activity Of The Essential Oils From Native Australian Callitris Species, Angela Oprava, David Leach, Karren Beattie, Paul Connellan, Paul Forster, Greg Leach, Gerhard Buchbauer, Kellie Shepherd, Myrna Deseo Oct 2013

Chemical Composition And Biological Activity Of The Essential Oils From Native Australian Callitris Species, Angela Oprava, David Leach, Karren Beattie, Paul Connellan, Paul Forster, Greg Leach, Gerhard Buchbauer, Kellie Shepherd, Myrna Deseo

Dr Myrna A Deseo

The chemical composition of the essential oil of the wood of the Australian native cypress Callitris endlicheri, C. intratropica and C. columellaris were determined by GCMS. The colour of the oils from C. endlicheri were yellow, yellow green and light green, whilst the distinct blue colour of the oil from C. intratropica was in keeping with its generic name ‘blue cypress oil'. The sesquiterpene alcohol guaiol (1) comprised >50% of the C. endlicheri oil. Significant differences were observed in components between the three accessions. In contrast, the oils of C. intratropica showed more subtle variations between collection …
