BACKGROUND Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration is integral in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Sumac (Rhus coriaria) berries are believed to have atheroprotective effects. Therefore, Sumac, which is a rich source of tannin antioxidants, was tested for its capacity to inhibit VSMC migratory activity. MATERIALS & METHODS Tannin was extracted and purified from ground Sumac. Cultured...

Condensed tannin is a ubiquitous polyphenol in plants that possesses substantial antioxidant capacity. In this study, we have investigated the polyphenol extraction recovery and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of the extracted polyphenol after litchi pericarp is treated with Aspergillus awamori, Aspergillus sojae or Aspergillus oryzae. We have further explored the activ...

The Litsea floribunda Gamble was widely used for various medicinal purposes. present study aimed to screening the phytochemicals presentin theleaf and bark extract of 
 L. also assess their antioxidant anti-inflammatory properties. results revealed that leaf showed extracts are rich in phytomoleculeslikephenolics tannin. more activitiessuch as total antioxidant, ABTS, superoxide radical sc...

The crude ethanolic extract of the root of Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standley (Family: Cucurbitaceae), was evaluated for its possible antiinflammatory activity and determination of total flavonoids and tannin contents growing in Bangladesh. The anti-inflammatory activity was studied using carrageenan and histamine-induced rat paw edema test at different doses (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight) ...

Chrome tanning industry is dominated globally owing to its high versatility in quality leather production. However, Environmental impacts of chromium have shifted the interest present study chrome-free options. Vegetable tannins been proven be environmentally safe producing good with comparable properties as that chrome tanned leather. As such, scarcity vegetable tannin supply demands character...

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the bioactive compounds of Mukia maderaspatana and its properties. In addition, preliminary phytochemical analysis antioxidant potential were performed. Methods: Extraction leaves made using Soxhlet apparatus, followed by evaluation phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarin, glycosides, terpenoids, tannin, steroid, saponin, phenol, anthraquino...

Phytoconstituents are widely used for their numerous pharmacological activities. Isolation and characterization of phytoconstituents is a leading area of research. In the present study, quantitative analysis of phytoconstituents present in Vetiveria zizanoides root was carried out. GC-MS analysis of ethanolic extract from Vetiveria zizanoides (EVZ) was carried out to explore the presence of var...

The inhibition of calculi forming oxalate by dietary Basella rubra plant organs leaf and stem pod has been investigated. weight reduction assay was studied. Also a concoction the tested. Leaf extract found with considerable activity whereas seems to be not much active as extract. Soluble are partially removed prior extraction constituents. component/s seem non-protein non-tannin molecule/s that...

A 2 x 2 factorial experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of herbage or concentrate feeding and dietary tannin supplementation on fatty acid metabolism and composition in sheep ruminal fluid, plasma, and intramuscular fat. Twenty-eight male lambs were divided into 2 equal groups at 45 d of age and kept in individual pens. One group was given exclusively fresh herbage (vetch), and the ...
