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.
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
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

To develop an HPLC method for the quantification of six active components in three species (Swertia davidi, S. nervosa and S. mussotii) . The determination was performed on a Hypersil BDS colunm (4. 6 mm x 200 mm, 5 microm).
A high-performance thin layer chromatographic densitometric method for the analysis of swertiamarin in 60% methanolic extract of Enicostemma littorale and commercial formulations has been developed and validated in this study. Swertiamarin was separated on aluminium-backed silica gel 60 F₂₅₄ plates
When cultivated with Aspergillus niger, swertiamarin, an important drug, is rapidly transformed into erythrocentaurin and (5Z)-5-ethylidene-8-hydroxy-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyridin-1-one (M(1)), a new compound with high anti-inflammatory activity. A simple and rapid HPLC method for simultaneous determination of swertiamarin and its two metabolites in
