1. Periplogenin (Desoxostrophanthidin) plays protective roles against thyrotoxicosis and associated cardiovascular problems, are mediated through its direct antithyroidal and/or LPO inhibiting properties.
Periplogenin 3-[O-β-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-sarmentopyranoside] (Periplogenin 3-[O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-beta-sarmentopyranoside]) is a carmenolide extracted from Periploca sepium.
Sepiumol A is a polyphenolic compound isolated from the root bark of Periploca sepium, which has significant antifungal activity and inhibits methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and can be used in the study of fungal infections.
Beta-Amyrin palmitate may release norepinephrine from newly synthesized pools, and thus, it may activate noradrenergic activity. Beta-Amyrin palmitate, like mianserin and imipramine, reduces the duration of immobility of mice significantly in a dose-depen
