Abstract
The phytochemical study using Caralluma umbellata (Asclepiadaceae) whole plant allowed the isolation of a novel pregnane glycoside named carumbelloside-I (3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-3beta,14beta -dihydroxypregn-5-en-20-one). Carumbelloside-I was evaluated for both antinociceptive activity and anti-inflammatory activity. The antinociceptive activity was evaluated in mice using the writhing test method, while the anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in rats using the paw edema test with carrageenin. Carumbelloside-I has significant antinociceptive action. It has no anti-inflammatory activity.Entities:
