The objective of present study is to evaluate the antiulcer activity of ethanolic extract of flower of Azadirachta indica. The cause of ulceration in patients is mainly due to hyper secretion of gastric acid and pepsin. Plant extracts and polyherbal formulations are some of the most attractive sources of new drugs and have been shown to produce promising results in the treatment of gastric ulce...

The study was planned to determine the comparative efficacy of leaf extract of Azadirachta indica, Cichorium intybus and Moringa oleifera, on haematology, intestinal histomorphology and nutrient digestibility in broilers. Day old broiler chicks (n=180) purchased from a commercial hatchery were reared in a group for one week (adaptation period). At day 8, these birds were individually weighed an...

Inhibitory effects of root endophytic actinomycete A-12 from Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Indian lilac, neem) against α-amylase and α-glucosidase were studied. The antioxidant capability was assessed through 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxy radical scavenging and reducing power assays. In vitro antidiabetic activity of ethyl acetate extract revealed good inhibition exhibiting IC50 val...

Eco-friendly green synthesis is one of the promising branches of nanoscience for applications in different biomedical fields. It makes more attractive potential option due to non toxic and very low cost of synthesis. This paper deals with the synthesis of eco-friendly and cost effective gold nanoparticles by using leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) as reducing agent. The SEM image shows ...
