We investigated the evidence of gastric protection for ulcer and gastritis by Cinnamomi Ramulus (Cinnamomum cassia Blume, Geiji, CR) extract and its several constituents. CR ethanolic extract showed the potent antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and acid-neutralizing capacity. Especially, eugenol exerted a significant antioxidant activity and inhibited the c...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii are common nosocomial pathogens, well recognized for their multidrug resistance. Acyl-homoserine lactone (Acyl-HSL) based Quorum sensing (QS) is known to regulate virulence and biofilm maturation in these organisms; hence, inhibition of QS will help to control their pathogenicity. In the study, 5 plants, Rubia cordifolia, Tinospora cordifolia, ...

Medicinal plants have provided the modern medicine with numerous plant derived therapeutic agents. Cassia auriculata is highly valued in Indian medicines for management of painful inflammation and diabetes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory potential of acetone extract of C. auriculata flowers. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using albumin denaturati...

Green leafy vegetables consumption has been associated with decreased risk of persistent metabolic diseases. In this present work, the phytochemical constitution of Borreria stachydea and Cassia absus belonging to rubiacea and leguminosae families respectively were investigated. The two plants methanolic and petroleum ether extracts were analyzed for alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, terp...

Cassia fistula stem bark was used for the preparation of aqueous extract and synthesis of gold nanoparticles to evaluate the hypoglycemic effects of the plant. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy for their absorbance pattern, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to identify possible functional groups, and scanning electron microscopy to d...

The antidiabetic and antioxidant potential of ethanolic extract of Cassia nemophila pod (EECNP) was evaluated by three in vitro assays, including yeast glucose uptake assay, glucose adsorption assay, and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The result revealed that the extracts have enhanced the uptake of glucose through the plasma membrane of yeast cells. A linear increase in glucose uptake by ye...

The resources necessary to produce Automatic Speech Recognition systems for a new language are considerable, and for many languages these resources are not available. This emphasizes the need for the development of generic techniques which overcome this data shortage. Indonesian is one language which suffers from this problem and whose population and importance suggest it could benefit from spe...

We studied the effect of administering Cassia auriculata leaf extract to rats with experimentally induced liver damage. Hepatotoxicity was induced by administering 9.875 g/kg bodyweight ethanol for 30 days by intragastric intubation. C. auriculata leaf extract was administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg bodyweight daily in one group and 500 mg/kg bodyweight daily in another group of alcohol-treated...

A single step protocol to produce biofunctionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of Cassia fistula flower as "natural factory" was investigated. The reaction between silver ions and aqueous flower extract after the bioreduction process has resulted in the formation of reddish brown color colloidal solution. XRD pattern showed the face centered cubic crystalline structu...
