Phenylethanoids are a group of natural water-soluble compounds with high biological value, which could potentially be commercially produced by hairy root cultures. Thus, we have examined the capacity of transformed root cultures of Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) to accumulate four phenylethanoid glycosides -beta-OH-verbascoside, verbascoside, leucosceptoside A, and martynoside--in shak...

BACKGROUND Launaea procumbens (L.) is traditionally used in the treatment of various human ailments including pulmonary damages. The present study was arranged to evaluate the role of Launaea procumbens methanol extract (LME) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced oxidative pulmonary damages in rat. METHODS 36 Sprague-Dawley male rats (170-180 g) were randomly divided into 06 groups. Aft...

 Materials methods – obtaining H. extract was performed in accordance with developed scheme that characterized by simplicity cost-effectiveness technology compared analogous scheme. Study obtained the requirements monograph «Harpagophyti extr...

The ethanol extract of Gynura procumbens showed virucidal and antireplicative actions against herpes simplex virus HSV-1 and HSV-2. It was further chromatographed on MCI gel CHP20P column giving the extract fractions F1 (water), F2 (water-methanol) F3 (methanol), and F4 (ethyl acetate). All but F1 had virucidal action against both viral types. We reported here the active compounds from F2 and F...

This study investigates an efficient and sustainable route of preparing Ag nanoparticles (NPs) using 1–5 mmol/L aqueous silver nitrate with leaf extracts five plants—Musa balbisiana (banana), Azadiracta indica (neem), Ricinus communis (castor-oil plant), Tridax procumbens (tridax), Cardiospermum halicacabum (balloon vine) for their wide availability. These syn...

1 Past land use can have long-term e€ects on plant species' distributional patterns if alterations in resources and environmental conditions have persistent e€ects on population demography (environmental change) and/or if plants are intrinsically limited in their colonization ability (historical factors). 2 We evaluated the role of environmental alteration vs. historical factors in controlling ...

BACKGROUND Launaea procumbens (Asteraceae) is used as a folk medicine to treat hepatic disorders in Pakistan. The effect of a chloroform extract of Launaea procumbens (LPCE) was evaluated against carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage in rats. METHODS To evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of LPCE, 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into six groups. Animals of group ...

Traditional medicines have been used in both developed and developing countries for a long time, one of which is longevity spinach (Gynura procumbens). Its plants are type plant that by the community to treat various diseases with their flavonoid content. This produces flavonoids, such as quercetin, can be optimized providing shade increasing nitrogen nutrients giving biochar fertilizing. study...
