Swertiamarin has shown potential as antiatherogenic agent by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase activity in high cholesterol fed rats. The high cholesterol fed rats treated with Swertiamarin showed prevention of increased serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDLs and VLDLs.
Swertiamarin, a secoiridoid isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Enicostemma axillare, was evaluated for antiedematogenic activity using carrageenan-, formalin-, and histamine-induced paw edema methods in rats. In the carrageenan-induced method, the percentages of edema inhibition obtained after 5 h
Micellar electrokinetic electrophoresis was employed to determine two active components, gentiopicroside (GE) and swertiamarin (SW) in one Tibetan preparation medicine named shiweilongdankeli, two Tibetan herbal medicines named Gentiana rhodantha and Gentiana kitag and three other Chinese Gentiana medicines named Gentiana
