The present study aimed to evaluate antifungal activity the isolated compounds from plant species. ethyl acetate extract root barks were fractionated using column chromatography. structures established both 1D...

Here we describe the seed shadow, seedling recruitment, ontogenetic structure and spatial distribution of Buchenavia capitata (an emergent canopy tree) in a 380-ha fragment of the Atlantic forest in northeast Brazil. In particular, we examine seed distribution around 10 parental trees and both seedling recruitment and mortality, during an 18 month period beneath and around parental trees. Moreo...

Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of stem bark of Terminalia glaucescens on the eggs and larval stages of Haemonchus contortus of sheep. Methods: The eggs were exposed for 24 hours in five different concentrations (625, 1250, 2500, 3750 and 5000 μg/ml) of methanol, hot water (decoction) and cold water extracts at room temperature (25 ̊C). Distilled ...

The dried leaves of Combretum and Terminalia species (Com hexane, dichloromethane and methanol. Thin layer chroma under saturated conditions and sprayed with 0.2% 2,2-diphen for antioxidant screening. Visualization of separated bands the localization and the subsequent identification of the poten methanol extracts displayed the presence of antioxidant activ DPPH. Hexane and dichloromethane extr...

Pteleopsis hylodendron (Combretaceae) is used in Cameroon and West Africa folk medicine for the treatment of various microbial infections (measles, chickenpox, and sexually transmitted diseases). The antibacterial properties of the methanolic extract and fractions from stem bark of Pteleopsis hylodendron were tested against three Gram-positive bacteria and eight Gram-negative bacteria using Aga...
