The experiment of methanolic extract of Microcos paniculata leaves showed significant (p<0.001) inhibitor activity against castor oil induced diarrhea and castor oil induced enteropooling in mice at dose of 400 mg/kg body weight. There was also significant (p<0.01) reduction in gastrointestinal motility in the charcoal meal test. Loperamide (5 mg/kg b. wt) was used as positive control. These re...

G. asiatica also known as phalsa, a member of tiliaceae family is a small fruit crop cultivated in warmer season and is known to contain cyanidin 3glucoside, vitamin C, minerals. A brief review of work so far carried out...

Za týmto názvom sa skrýva viacero skutočností: predovšetkým život a dielo profesora Jána Horeckého, ktorý iste nie je neznámy ani českej lingvistickej verejnosti; esej, ktorú J. Horecký predniesol na konferencii venovanej jeho osemdesiatinám a ktorá bola uverejnená v Jazykovednom časopise (2000, č. 1, s. 3 – 7; dostupný aj na http://www.juls.savba.sk/ediela/jc/); napokon je to aj názov celej vý...

In the present study, phytochemical constituents of medicinal plants were evaluated from their ethanolic extracts, such as Andrographis paniculata, Centella asiatica, Psidium guajava and Solanum trilobatum. The extracts subjected to a qualitative screening using standard procedure. Our study has identified phytocompounds in leaf trilobatum IR GC-MS spectroscopy. An anticancer activity was perfo...

Floral traits that increase self-fertilization are expected to spread unless countered by the effects of inbreeding depression, pollen discounting (reduced outcross pollen success by individuals with increased rates of self-fertilization), or both. Few studies have attempted to measure pollen discounting because to do so requires estimating the male outcrossing success of plants that differ in ...

Andrographolides, the diterpene lactones, are major bioactive phytochemicals which could be found in different parts of the medicinal herb Andrographis paniculata. A number of such compounds namely andrographolide (AG), neoandrographolide (NAG), and 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (DDAG) have already attracted a great deal of attention due to their potential therapeutic effects in hard-...
