Development of granules from Phyllanthus niruri spray-dried extract

Acute toxicity studies of aqueous leaf extract of Phyllanthus niruri

Phyllanthus niruri is a plant with medicinal properties. It is often used to treat mild malaria and the elimination of renal stones. However, studies on its toxicity are scarce. The study was carried out to determine if the aqueous leaf extract of P. niruri administered to female Sprague-Dawley rats would illicit evidence of toxicity. Fifteen female rats weighing 150-200 g were divided into 3 g...

Development of enteric coated tablets from spray dried extract of feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium L.)

Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew) is an herb that is commercialized worldwide as a therapeutic treatment for migraine. Its pharmacological effect is mainly due to the presence of the sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide as well as of flavonoids. So far, there are no studies on standardization of pre-formulations or phytomedicines containing this herb. The present study aimed at developing a pre-for...

Isolation and characterisation of medicinal compounds from Phyllanthus Niruri

CHEMICAL CHARACTERISATION OF BHUIAVALI (Phyllanthus niruri)

The present article describes the chemical characteristics such as pH of aqueous extract, fluorescence, aqueous and alcoholic extractives, lignans and TLC profile of aqueous extract of Bhuiavli (Phyllanthus niruri).

In Vitro Lipid Peroxidation Inhibitory and Antimicrobial Activity of Phyllanthus Niruri (Euphorbiaceae) Extract

The present work was designed to evaluate the in vitro lipid peroxidation inhibitory and antimicrobial activities of the methanol extract of Phyllanthus niruri (MEPN) (Family:   Euphorbiaceae) .   Lipid peroxidation was measured by the optical density of the prepared solutions (10-320 µg/ml) and then the percent inhibition was calculated. Ascorbate/FeSO 4 -induced p...
