Arjuna and heart health
Arjuna is helpful in patients with angina (see study below)
Arjunolic acid, a new triterpene and a potent principle from the bark of
Terminalia arjuna, has been shown to provide significant cardiac protection in
isoproterenol induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Arjunolic acid treatment
prevents the decrease in the levels of superoxide dismutase,
catalase,
glutathione peroxidase, ceruloplasmin, alpha-tocopherol, reduced glutathione (GSH),
ascorbic acid, lipid peroxide, MPO and the cardioprotection is confirmed by the
histopathological studies. This study shows that the cardioprotection of
arjunolic acid pre and post treatment could possibly be due to the protective
effect against the damage caused by myocardial necrosis.

Compounds found in Arjuna
A triterpene glycoside, arjunetoside, together with oleanolic and
arjunic acids, and a cardenolide, have been isolated from the root bark of
Terminalia arjuna.
Two new oleanane-type triterpene glycosides designated as Termiarjunoside I and Termiarjunoside II were isolated from stem bark of Terminalia arjuna (Combretaceae). Both compounds potently suppressed the release of nitric oxide and superoxide from macrophages and also inhibited aggregation of platelets.
