Hypoglycemic and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Triterpene Glycoside Fractions from Aeculus hippocastanum Seeds

Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.)-derived drugs have shown their potential in biomedical applications. The seed of A. hippocastanum contains various kinds of chemical compounds including phenolics, flavonoids, coumarins, and triterpene saponins. Here, we investigated the chemical components in A. hippocastanum L. grown in Uzbekistan, which has not yet been studied in detail. We identified 30 kinds of triterpene saponins in an extract of A. hippocastanum L. Classifying extracted saponins into eight fractions, we next studied the hypoglycemic and the anti-inflammatory activities of escin and its derivatives through in vivo experiments. We came by data indicating the highest (SF-1 and SF-2) and the lowest (SF-5 and SF-8) antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory effects of those eight fractions. These results imply the prospective use of A. hippocastanum L. grown in Uzbekistan in the production of pharmaceutical drugs to treat diabetes and inflammation.     

Quantum electrodynamic perturbation theory based on electrodynamics with an external field

A method is proposed for construction of mean values of quantum quantities in quantum optics and electrodynamics on the basis of exact solutions of the corresponding problems of electrodynamics with an external field. To illustrate the method the mean energy of a two-level atom in the Raby problem is calculated. It is shown that the mean value obtained with a specified accuracy coincides with the result of exact quantum electrodynamic calculation.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 7–10, September, 1983.     

Dipole moments and molecular spectra of certain derivatives of dibenzalacetone

Conclusions From the spectral data it may be assumed that di-p-chlorodibenzalacetone exists in solution as a mixture of s-cis,s-cis- and s-cis, s-trans-conformations, possessing a trans-configuration of both ethylenic bonds, which does not contradict the data of the dipole moments.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1485–1489, July, 1969.
