Leutea avicenniae Mozaff. belongs to Apiaceae family is an endemic species distributed in the west of Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and acetylcholinestrase (AchE) inhibition of the crude extract, fractions and isolated compounds from methanolic fraction of L. avicenniae. Five compounds were detected from methanol fraction, three phenolic compounds as p-...

Chrozophora senegalensis is a medicinal plant with widespread use in Northern Nigeria by the local populace for treatment of ailments and diseases such as diarrhea, malaria dysentery. The study evaluated Cytotoxicity C. crude methanol extract using brine shrimp lethality test. sample was air dried at room temperature, pulverized to powder subjected maceration methanol. marc removed double filtr...

salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the lamiaceae family. its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. the aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of salvia verticillata using activity-gu...

The interaction between methyl red (azo dye) and cetylpyridinium chloride (cationic surfactant) in the methanol-water system were studied using a spectrophotometric technique. Variable parameters like constant dye concentration its structure, surfactant concentration, pH, absorbance, solvent composition studied. Using UV-Vis technique, critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of measured with red...

alzheimer is an age-dependent disease mostly with genetic origin. in this disorder, acetylcholine is decreased which results in deterioration of short-term memory. many researches have been focused on finding new sources of medications with more potency and less side effects and investigating acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (acheis) has been the center of many researches. in the present study, ...

objective: at present, there are many antiepileptic drugs with a wide range of side effects on the human body. it was assumed that zataria multiflora boiss (z. multiflora) with sedative, anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory activity may be effective in the treatment of epilepsy. the aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of z. multiflora hydroalcoholic extract and its fraction ext...

salvia chorassanica bunge is one of the iranian endemic species of salvia. there is not any reported literature on s. chorassanica. this study was designed to examine the in-vitro anti-proliferative and proapoptotic effects of the methanol extract of s. chorassanica and its fractions on hela cell line. cells were cultured in ex-cell®, an animal free medium specially designed for hela cell line ...

Pulverized leaves samples of Newbouldia laevis were extracted by cold maceration using methanol. The extract was concentrated in vacuo to yield a reddish brown solid 120.191 g. crude methanol partitioned into n-hexane 0.1 g, dichloromethane 2.5 ethyl acetate 4.6 and 10.0 fractions via coarse chromatography. Methanol fraction gave the highest subjected further purification repeated column chroma...

In a previous study, the authors showed that iron(III) [tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)]porphyrin chloride [(F20TPP)FeCl] is catalytically inactive for cyclooctene epoxidation by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile but is catalytically active if the solvent contains methanol. It was suggested that the precursor to the active species is (F20TPP)Fe(OCH3) in methanol-containing solvents. The present stu...

The inositol-containing phosphatides of soy beans have been the subject of a number of investigations (l-7) since 1939 when Klenk and Sakai (8) first reported the presence of inositol in soy bean phosphatides. Previous work at the Northern Regional Research Laboratory (3) has shown that the alcohol-insoluble portion of soy bean phosphatides can be separated into two inositol-containing fraction...
