Various extracts of Sarcostemma viminale were screened for central analgesic activity by hot plate test, peripheral analgesic activity by acetic acid-induced writhings, CNS depressant activity by pentobarbitone-induced sleep and locomotor activity testing methods and anthelmintic activity on the earthworms Pheretima posthuma . Results showed that petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts h...

Hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Onopordum espinae leaves were investigated for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enteritidis. The in vitro antibacterial activity of Onopordum espinae extracts was qualitatively assessed by the diameter of inhibition zones (IZ...

Abstract Stachys lavandulifolia is from mint family and Labiatae species and grows in different parts of our country sporadically. The purpose of this study is to investigate the chemical properties of Stachys lavandulifolia Ethyl acetate extract. In this study, the Ethyl acetate extract was provided using maceration method. The extract then was defatted and solvent removal performed in a...

The distinctive flavor of wine, brandy, and other grape-derived alcoholic beverages is affected by many compounds, including esters produced during alcoholic fermentation. The characteristic fruity odors of the fermentation bouquet are primarily due to a mixture of hexyl acetate, ethyl caproate (apple-like aroma), iso-amyl acetate (banana-like aroma), ethyl caprylate (apple-like aroma), and 2-p...

Stability and interface properties of cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) films adsorbed from acetone or ethyl acetate onto Si wafers have been investigated by means of contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Surface energy (gamma(S)(total)) values determined for CAP adsorbed from acetone are larger than those from ethyl acetate. In the ...

lactide was synthesized by reverse polymerization of low molecular weight poly(lactic acid) with two different molecular weights:1500 and 2500. two different lactide purification processes such as: recrystallization in ethyl acetate and washing the crude lactide with ether before recrystallization in ethyl acetate were evaluated. it has been demonstrated that increasing the molecular weight of ...

Adzuki bean is used to prepare many kinds of foods in east Asia, and the seed coat contains water-soluble anthocyanins, catechins, and flavonols. In the present study, ethyl acetate-soluble purplish pigments were isolated from adzuki bean. Pigments of soaked adzuki bean were extracted with 1% HCl in methanol. Ethyl acetate-soluble purple pigments were obtained from the methanol soluble componen...

Helicobacter pylori is a major risk factor for gastritis, ulcers and gastric cancer. This study was aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of the stem bark of Bridelia. micrantha on H. pylori isolated in South Africa. Extracts and clarithromycin were tested against 31 clinical strains, including a standard strain (NCTC 11638) of H. pylori, by measuring the diameters of the corresponding ...
