Alternative adsorbents like Activated charcoal, modified activated charcoal, wheat bran, activated neem leaf powder and groundnut shell powder were used as adsorbents for effective removal of Cr (VI) ions and thus a comparative study between the adsorbents are presented. Waste water containing Cr (VI) ions was treated with all adsorbents for a calculated amount of time. Further, filtration was ...

Objective: The study was to evaluate the antidermatophytic activity of the ethanol, ethyl acetate and hexane extract of Neem ( Azadirachta indica) leaves against dermatophytes isolated from patients with dermatophytosis. Methods: Clinical samples from 200 patients were subjected to (KOH) examination and culture isolation. Causative agents were identified macroscopically and microscopically. The...

Three to six hours after the administration of extracts of neem bark or flower, the blood glucose levels of normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice dropped significantly. However, neem flower possesses stronger hypoglycemic activity than the bark. Hypoglycemic action of these extracts may be due to their metabolic effect on tissue and or due to increase in insulin secretion.

The effect of postharvest application plant leaf powders on the physical quality and shelf life okra fruits during Storage in Makurdi was determined. Moringa Neem were used to coat fruits, which then kept at room temperature. experiment a 2 x 3 factorial combination treatments, fitted completely randomized design, replicated thrice. Data collected subjected Analysis variance (ANOVA) using GENST...

Introduction: In India, mango, neem and babool chewing twigs are considered a common way of cleaning teeth. Dental caries is steadily increasing in the underdeveloped and developing countries. These twigs possess medicinal properties. The present study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of these chewing sticks on the caries causing microorganism, Streptococcus mutans. Aim: An ...

This study evaluated the repellency effect of 3 topical repellents (permethrin, DEET and neem tree extract) against 3-5 day old females of laboratory and field strains of Anopheles stephensi. Probing/biting rates on the shaved belly of white rabbits were counted. Effective dose (ED) 50 and ED95 values were calculated by probit statistic software. The results revealed ED50 values of 0.007, 0.005...

The present work was focused on investigation of effect of solution concentration, contact time and pH variation on ability of the eucalyptus, neem and mango leaves in removing chromium ions form aqueous solution. The dried leaves were washed with deionised water, air-dried and ground using ball mill then sieved. The leaf powder was added to 1M stock metal ion solution made from potassium dichr...

Eco-friendly green synthesis is one of the promising branches of nanoscience for applications in different biomedical fields. It makes more attractive potential option due to non toxic and very low cost of synthesis. This paper deals with the synthesis of eco-friendly and cost effective gold nanoparticles by using leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) as reducing agent. The SEM image shows ...

In the present study, the inhibitory effect of neem leaf extract (NLE) on lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) production was examined both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro study revealed that NLE treatment (100 μg/ml) inhibits LPS (100 ng/ml)-induced NO production by 96% and TNF-α production by 32%. The reduction in NO production is probably confe...
