Arjunolic acid (AA) is a triterpenoid saponin that has known anti-oxidant activity. AA has also shown promise in against type 1 diabetes through its prevention of hyperglycemia induced activation of MAPKs, PKC, NF-kB signaling cascades. Arjunolic acid is beneficial in protecting again acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver and hepatocyte injury.
Increasing evidences in both experimental and clinical studies suggest that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic tissue damage. Pancreatic beta-cell death is the cause of decreased insulin production in diabetes. Streptozotocin (STZ) is widely used to induce
Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used analgesic and antipyretic drug and is safe at therapeutic doses but its overdose frequently causes liver injury. In earlier studies, we demonstrated that arjunolic acid (AA) has a protective effect against chemically induced hepatotoxicity.

Arsenic, one of the most harmful metalloids, is ubiquitous in the environment. The present study has been carried out to investigate the protective role of a triterpenoid saponin, arjunolic acid (AA) against arsenic-induced cardiac oxidative damage. In the study, NaAsO2

Phytochemical exploration of a wood bark extract from Durio zibethinus afforded two new triterpenoids, namely, methyl 27-O-trans-caffeoylcylicodiscate (1) and methyl 27-O-cis-caffeoylcylicodiscate (2), a new phenolic, 1,2-diarylpropane-3-ol (3), and seven known compounds, fraxidin, eucryphin, boehmenan, threo-carolignan E, (-)-(3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein, methyl protocatechuate, and
Diabetic nephropathy is a common cause for end-stage renal disease. Present study investigated the beneficial role of arjunolic acid (AA) against streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic nephropathy in rats. Diabetic renal injury was associated with increased kidney weight to body weight
