background: the repetitive use of antibiotics in different fields (veterinary and medicine) improves the emergence and occurrence of the resistance phenomenon in pathogenic bacteria. due to the problem of antimicrobial resistance, it is an urgent need to discover new drugs and alternative treatments for the control of bacterial diseases in aquaculture. objectives: the purpose of this study is t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the toxicity of methanol extract of various parts (Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower and Fruit) of Lantana camara (L. Camara) in Artemia salina. METHODS The methanol extracts of L. camara were tested for in vivo brine shrimp lethality assay. RESULTS All the tested extract exhibited very low toxicity on brine shrimp larva. The results showed that the root extract was the most...

Antioxidants are known to play a vital role in inhibiting and scavenging free radicals, thus, provide immunity to human body against various infections and chronic diseases. Nowadays the modern research is moving towards plant based “Natural antioxidants” due to their safety, easy availability and better curative value. So the main reason of the present study was to assess the in-vitro antioxid...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Extensive research has been performed worldwide and important evidences were collected to show the immense potential of plants used in various traditional therapeutic systems. The aim of this work is to investigate the different extracting solvents in terms of the influence of their polarity on the extracting ability of bioactive molecules (phenolic compounds) from the ...

Purpose: To investigate the anti-hyperglycaemic activity of methanol extract of Tribulus terrestris L. Zygophyllaceae in glucose-loaded normal rabbits. Methods: The animals were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 5) and treated with a single oral dose. Group 1 served as normal control group and received distilled water; group 2 served as hyperglycaemic control; group 3 was treated with glibencl...

BACKGROUND Various medicinal plants have been studied using modern scientific approaches. These plants have a variety of properties and various biological components that can be used to treat various diseases. However, harmful effects of plants are common clinical occurrence. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate toxicological assessment of acute and chronic methanol leaf extract o...

background and objectives: malaria is a remarkable cause of death in the world. several ways are used by researchers to control or to decrease the detrimental effects of the disease, in which natural insecticides with less malaria vectors resistance and lower environmental damages are considered in last decades.the objective of this study was to assess the larvicidal activity of the whole flowe...

Lupeol (1), epilupeol (2) and β-sitosterol (3) were isolated from the n-hexane and the carbon tetrachloride soluble fraction of a methanol extract of the leaves of Phoenix paludosa Roxb. The n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform soluble materials from the concentrated methanol extract were subjected to antimicrobial screening and brine shrimp lethality bioassay. All of the partitionates...

The presence of an endophytic fungus, Acremonium coenophialum, in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) deterred aphid feeding by Rhopalosiphum padi and Schizaphis graminum. Both species of aphid were unable to survive when confined to endophyte-infected tall fescue plants. Feeding deterrents and toxic factors to R. padi and Oncopeltus fasciatus, large milkweed bug, were primarily associated with a...

this study aimed to investigate the anti-angiogenic activity of vitex agnus castus methanol extract in vivo. eggs were incubated for three days, small whole made on the fine pinpoint, next day the egg’s sac penetrated and a small frame was made in the shell. the window was resealed and eggs were returned to the incubator until day 10 of chick embryo development, 20 µl of 500mg/ml of the methano...
