The Jian-er syrup is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicinal preparation refined from two herbs, Metaplexis japonica (Thunb.) Makino and Justicia procumbens L. A new lignan, named 6'-hydroxy-Justicidin B, was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the Jian-er syrup and its structure was established on the basis of spectral analysis. The content of 6'-hydroxy-Justicidin B in the Jian-e...

This study investigates an efficient and sustainable route of preparing Ag nanoparticles (NPs) using 1–5 mmol/L aqueous silver nitrate with leaf extracts five plants—Musa balbisiana (banana), Azadiracta indica (neem), Ricinus communis (castor-oil plant), Tridax procumbens (tridax), Cardiospermum halicacabum (balloon vine) for their wide availability. These syn...

Traditional therapies, including the use of dietary components for wound healing and skin regeneration, are very common in Asian countries such as China India. The increasing evidence health-protective benefits phytochemicals, derived from plants is generating a lot interest, warranting further scientific evaluation mechanistic studies.

Ten compounds, including three lignan glycosides and seven lignans, were purified from Justicia procumbens L. in 8 h using an efficient strategy based on high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The two-phase solvent system composed of petroleum-ethyl acetate-methanol-H₂O (1:0.7:1:0.7, v/v) was firstly employed to separate the crude extract (320 mg), from which 19.3 mg of justicidin B...
