Antibiotics play an important role in the disease management of aquaculture practices; however antibiotic resistance develops readily in pathogens following antibiotic treatment. Medicinal herbs play an alternative role to tackle this problem. In the present study, 15 selected plant species belonging to Lamiaceae and Apocynaceae were collected from different localities of Tirunelveli district o...

We report on the isolation and structural determination of and synthetic studies with constituents of the West African medicinal plants Tabernaemontan glandulosa, Carissa edulis (Apocynaceae), Canthium subcordatum (Rubiaceae), Hexalobus crispiflorus (Annonaceae), Uvaria elliotiana (Annonaceae), Annonidium manii (Annonaceae), Cochlospermum planchonii (Cochlospermaceae) and Iboza riparia (Labiata...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the antiulcerogenic effect and recognize the basic mechanism of action of Tabernaemontana divaricata (L.) R. Br. flowers. T. divaricata flower methanolic extract (TDFME) was screened for antiulcer activity versus aspirin and ethanol induced gastric ulcers at three doses--125, 250, and 500 mg/kg--orally using misoprostol as a standard. Besides histopat...

Tabernaemontana catharinensis A. DC (Apocynaceae) is used as a medicinal plant by the population. In order to contribute to the safe use of the plant as herbal medicine, this study aimed to morphoanatomically characterize the aereal vegetative organs of T. catharinensis and to evaluate the leaves’ mutagenic and antimutagenic activities. Histological blades of leaves and stem of T. catharinensis...
