Title: | Antioxidant properties of proanthocyanidins of Uncaria tomentosa bark decoction: a mechanism for anti-inflammatory activity | Authors: | Gonçalves, Cristina Dinis, Teresa Batista, Maria Teresa |
Keywords: | Uncaria tomentosa; Decoction; Proanthocyanidins; Antioxidant; Scavenger; Anti-inflammatory activity | Issue Date: | 2005 | Citation: | Phytochemistry. 66:1 (2005) 89-98 | Abstract: | Decoctions prepared from the bark of Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) are widely used in the traditional Peruvian medicine for the treatment of several diseases, in particular as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to determine if the well-known anti-inflammatory activity of cat's claw decoction was related with its reactivity with the oxidant species generated in the inflammatory process and to establish a relationship between such antioxidant ability and its phenolic composition. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/5760 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.phytochem.2004.10.025 | Rights: | openAccess |
