Bergenin displays antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties, in addition to its use in folk medicines as a potent hepatoprotective agent. Bergenin acts by inhibiting the formation of interleukin 1beta and TNF-α, which suggests its potential use for controling inflammatory pain.
A validated reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the determination of bergenin in rat plasma. Bergenin in rat plasma was extracted with methanol, which also acted as a deproteinization agent. Chromatographic separation of bergenin was performed on
A novel C-C-coupled dimer derivative of bergenin was produced by the biotransformation of cultured mycelia of white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. Its structure was elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis.
(+)-Bergenin (1) was isolated from Sacoglottis uchi, a species of vegetable found in the Amazon region and popularly used for the treatment of several hepatic problems. The structure of 1 was fully characterized using IR, GC-MS and NMR (1D and
The presence of bergenin in substantial amounts in the methanol leaves extract of Flueggea virosa (Euphorbiaceae) was established as a strong chemotaxomic point of differentiation between Flueggea virosa and Securinega virosa. Bergenin showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of
To prepare a bergenin-phospholipid complex (BPC) to increase oral bioavailability of the drug. In order to obtain the acceptable BPC, a spherical symmetric design-response surface methodology was used for process optimization. The influence of reaction medium, temperature, drug concentration and
