In this study, the bioactivity of Talinum paniculatum was evaluated, a plant widely used in folk medicine. The extract from the T. paniculatum leaves (LE) was obtained by percolation with ethanol-water and then subjecting it to liquid-liquid partitions, yielding hexane (HX), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), butanol (BuOH), and aqueous (Aq) fractions. Screening for antimicrobial activity of the LE and its...

The lipid content of Atriplex semibacata growing in Egypt was studied. The unsaponifiable fraction was identified by GLC. A series of hydrocarbons ranging from C(14)- C(28) in addition to cholesterol, stigmasterol and the triterpenoids α and β - amyrin were identified. GLC analysis of fatty alcohols fraction revealed the presence of six fatty alcohols in which dotriacontanol (C(32)H(66)O) was t...

effects of 28 days lead acetate (ioc, 500, 1000 ppm) treatment on hypertension ami relationship between blood lead levels and hypertension in male. spraguc-dawley rats were studied. results of this study showed tlxat lead acetate treatment did run decrease, body wcight or water consumption, except for lead acetate (1000 ppm) and sodium acetate (500 ppm) which increased fluid consumption when co...

BACKGROUND The plant, Chrysophyllum albidum is indigenous to Nigeria and its stem-bark has wide application in traditional medicine for the treatment of infections and oxidative stress related diseases. The aim of the study was to isolate the chemical constituents responsible for the antioxidant and antibacterial activity from the stem-bark of the plant in order to justify some of its ethnomedi...

Sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and cholesterol were isolated from green wheat (Triticium aestivum var. Monon) seedlings. Sitosterol was the predominant sterol extracted from the shoot, root, and crown tissue. Cholesterol accounted for less that 1% of sterol in shoot tissue with only trace amounts in the root. A temperature change from 10 to 1 C resulted in a general decrease in sitoster...

Background: Brillantaisia lamium is an erect branched herb, which grows to a height of 1.50 m in moist tropical areas, both in full sun and partial shade. In Cameroon, the aerial part of this plant is used in the treatment of various microbial infections such as skin diseases and infections of urinary tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of CH2Cl2: MeOH (1:1...

The objective of the present study was to examine chemical compositions Salvia coccinea oleoresins prepared in methanol and petroleum ether. GC-MS analysis methanolic oleoresin (SCMO) ether (SCEO) resulted identification 15 12 constituents, comprising 84.7 81.2% total composition, respectively. Both SCMO SCEO varied their composition terms quantity, namely, oleic acid (22.3-25.9%), palmitic (8....

The current research has centered on the use of pharmacological and binding affinity methods to test 36 compounds as bioactive constituents’ inhibitors for COVID-19. Six out phytoconstituents (rutin, quercetin, catechin gallate, rhamnetin, campesterol stigmasterol) have demonstrated outstanding molecular docking drug-like properties HIV Lopinavir Indinavir. Interestingly, lowest energies (LBE) ...
