Stamens are 3 to numerous, the centermost sometimes represented by staminodes. Filaments are distinct, chargeless or adnate to petaloid staminodes, attenuate and able-bodied differentiated from anthers to laminar and ailing differentiated from anthers; pollen grains usually monosulcate or defective apertures.

Taraxerol Description



Taraxerol is an anti-inflammatory triterpenoid. Taraxerol has inhibitory effects on AGS cell growth through inducing G(2)/M arrest and promotion of cell apoptosis. Taraxerol acetate has less effect on cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of AGS cells than taraxerol. Taraxerol significantly inhibited AGS cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Taraxerol arrested the AGS cells at G(2)/M stage. Taraxerol also promoted early cell apoptosis in AGS cells. However, taraxerol acetate had a lower inhibitory effect than taraxerol, and it showed a tendency of G(2)/M arrest and apoptosis promotion but with no statistical significance. Impact of Taraxerol in combination with extract of Euphorbia tirucalli plant on biological parameters of Lymnaea acuminata. The present work was carried out to evaluate the molluscicidal activity of active ingredient Taraxerol with the acetone extract of Euphorbia tirucalli against Lymnaea acuminata snail.
Taraxerol is found in alcoholic beverages. Taraxerol is a constituent of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion). Taraxerol belongs to the family of Oleanane Triterpenes. These are triterpenes whose structure is based on the oleanane skeleton, an 4,4,6a,8a,11,11,14b-heptamethyl-hexadecahydropicene derivative.
