Arnica montana

Arnica montana L. (Arnica) has been used for treating bruises and swelling in Western medicine on account of its ability to elaborate sesquiterpene lactones, such as hele-nalin and dihydrohelenalin, which are thought to inhibit the activation of transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-kB, which is responsible for the transcription of genes involved in encoding mediators for the inflammatory process. [Pg.14]

Classical examples of anti-inflammatory Asteraceae are Arnica montana and Calendula officinalis, both used in European medicine to treat bruises and contusions. There is an expanding body of evidences to suggest that Asteraceae could be a useful source of anti-inflammatories, such as sesquiterpene lactones and/or triterpene alcohols, the latter being known to inhibit 12-O-tetra-decanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice as efficiently as commercial indomethacine by possible inhibition of phospholipase A2 (10).

Besides sesquiterpene lactones, an alkaloid analyzed as CgH14N203 (45), was isolated from the leaves of Arnica montana L. (80). Distinction between the two possible structures 45 (amide-urethane) and 46 (ester + urea) was accomplished by a selective synthesis from prolinamide. [Pg.292]

The leaves of Arnica montana L. contain a new alkaloid, N-ethoxycarbonyl-L-prolinamide (1). Its structure has been established by mass, i.r., and n.m.r. spectral analysis, and confirmed by synthesis from L-proline by conversion into the amide followed by reaction with ethyl chloroformate. The synthesis also settles the absolute configuration of the new alkaloid.3... [Pg.37]

B. gaudichaudiana, which is commonly used for diabetes. Elephantopus scaber contains hydroxylated germacranolides, such as molephantin and molephantinin, which cause diuresis, antipiresis, eliminate bladder stones, and have cytotoxic and antitumor properties. From the Tithonia genus, T, diversifolia is widely used in Mexico and often has been identified erroneously as Arnica montana. Because of this confusion it is used as European arnica to treat hematomas and muscular cramps. The genus is rich in sesquiterpene lactones.11... [Pg.296]
