Abstract
An aqueous extract of Tinospora tuberculata stems was found to scavenge nitric oxide (NO) in vitro in both cell and cell-free systems. When the aqueous extract was added to lipopolysaccharide-stimulated murine macrophages, it inhibited NO release dose-dependently, and similar activity was found in a cell-free system using sodium nitroprusside as a NO donor. These findings may help to explain, in part, certain pharmacological activities of Tinospora tuberculata. Copyright 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Entities:
