Phytochemical study of the roots Erythrina senegalensis led to isolation a new α-sophoradiol glycoside, erythrinoside (1), together with four known compounds, lupeol (2), (3), isoneorautenol (4) and D-mannitol (5). The structures compounds were elucidated using spectroscopic data including 1D 2D NMR, mass spectrometry by comparison made some reported previously; samples (extracts compounds) als...

the leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina, is a key and worldwide pest damaging walnut as well as many other fruit trees during the larval stages. larvae were collected from infested twigs of walnut trees. midguts from larvae were removed under a stereomicroscope and their homogenates used as the enzyme source. larval midgut extracts showed an optimum activity at ph 8.0, 6.0 and 6.0 for ?-amylase, ?- an...

BACKGROUND Some Ficus species have been used in traditional African medicine in the treatment of diabetes. The antidiabetic potential of certain species has been confirmed in vivo but the mechanism of activity remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine the activity and to investigate the mechanism of antidiabetic activity of ten selected Ficus species through inhibition of α-amyl...

Soybean cells in suspension culture were inhibited in their growth by mixed culture with Rhizobium japonicum 5033. Rhizobium cells had the ability to adsorb on the surface of soybean cells. Cell envelope prepared from Rhizobium by sonic oscillation inhibited the growth of soybean cells. The growth-inhibiting activity of the cell envelope was depressed by beta-glucosidase, KIO(4), urea, sodium c...

Cladonia foliacea (CF) is a type of lichen belonging to the Cladoniaceae family, used as traditional medicine for various diseases. It known that CF has strong antioxidant and antidiabetic effects originating from secondary components. However, bioactivity significantly affected by extraction conditions such temperature, liquid/solid ratio, solvent type/concentration. Herein, parameters (temper...

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder disease whose cases and prevalence have continued to increase over the last few decades. One of pharmacological therapies for diabetes an agent thatinhibits activity α-glucosidase which blocks breakdown disaccharides has impact on delaying glucose absorption, thereby reducing postprandial levels. Several genera pothos are widelyused as antidiabetic. In ...

The periodic rise and frequency of diabetes mellitus (DM) have pressured into the quest for other possible anti-diabetic remedies from medicinal plants. foremost strategies engaged in lessening gastrointestinal glucose levels by hindrance carbohydrate digesting enzyme prominently as α-glucosidase . Acarbose, currently used an inhibitor, is a useful treatment option management hyperglycemia type...
