Renal disorders have become very common nowadays, which may also lead to kidney failure. The disorder may be caused by the commonly used chemicals such as acetaminophen, CCl4, streptromycin, H2O2 etc. The objective of this work is to determine the nephroprotective potential of ethanolic extract against H2O2 induced toxicity in VERO cell line. Ethanolic extract is known for its antioxidant, anti...

Salinity stress severely affects the growth, physiological and developmental processes in plant species. Melia dubia is an ecologically economically important tree species of Indian subcontinent. However, systematic information with respect to salt tolerance potential completely lacking. Under conditions, determining suitable soil EC range required for better survival, growth productivity In pr...

Melia azedarach L. has been utilized in traditional systems of medicine for the treatment various diseases including urolithiasis. The study aimed to perform phytochemical studies and anti-urolithiatic potential fruit-seed extracts azedarach. Sequential extraction was performed using chloroform, methanol water. plant were then subjected quantitative tests analysis. An activity investigated via ...

BACKGROUND The increasing use of nanoparticles and nanocomposite in pharmaceutical and processed food industry have increased the demand for nontoxic and inert metallic nanostructures. Chemical and physical method of synthesis of nanostructures is most popular in industrial production, despite the fact that these methods are labor intensive and/or generate toxic effluents. There has been an inc...

abstract in order to study the effect of different aqueous shoot extracts of four medicinal plants consist of: basil (ocimum basilicum l.), jimson weed (datura stramonium l.), summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) and meliaceae (melia azedarach l.) on seed germination and seedling characteristics of wild oat an experiment was conducted at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad o...

The phytochemical investigation of the dichloromethane-soluble part of the methanol extract obtained from the fruits of Melia azedarach afforded one new tirucallane-type triterpene, 3-alpha-tigloylmelianol and three known tirucallanes, melianone, 21-beta-acetoxy-melianone, and methyl kulonate. The structure of the isolated compounds was mainly determined by 1D and 2D NMR experiments as well as ...
