We examined the effects of the extract from leaves of Liquidambar formosana Hance on S180 cells and screened for antitumor active sites in the plant. Solvent extraction was conducted to prepare extracts from the leaves of L. formosana Hance and conduct preliminary separation, an MTT assay to determine the effect of leaf extract on the proliferation of S180 cells, and inverted microscopy to obse...

background: the present study was undertaken to study the larvicidal activity of different extracts of nerium ole- ander leaves, and post-treatment temperature- toxicity relationship of these extracts against culex pipiens. further, the most potent extract was used to evaluate its biological and genotoxic activities. methods: crude extracts of n. oleander leaves were prepared using water, chlor...

the methanolic extract of leaves of turnera ulmifolia l was evaluated for its effect on blood glucose in alloxan-induced diabetic and euglycemic rats. the extract were administered at three doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. glibenclamide (10 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as standard for control group. in euglycemic rat, extract were administered at three doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. extrac...

background: there is a worldwide interest in searching for potential and effective medicinal plant candidates against various diseases or disorders. till now, there are number of anti-inflammatory drugs like nsaids are available which showed various adverse effects in our body. to reduce these adverse effects, some of medicinal plants have been experimentally validated. aim: the aim of our immu...

Hibiscus rosasinensis flowers and leaves are available all over India and well known for its Antidiabetic property. In the present investigation aqueous extract and ethanolic extract of the flowers and leaves were made using soxhlet apparatus, water extract and maceration. The qualitative Phytochemical screening procedure was performed on each extract. Phytochemical study reveals that alkaloids...

A review of the publications in traditional medicine indicates that the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Fabaceae, is recommended for treatment of epilepsy. As a renewable source, the leaves of G. glabra var. glandulifera growing in Iran were examined for possible anticonvulsant activity. The anticonvulsant activity of the leaves' ethanol extract and dichloromethane, f1, n-Hexane, f1A, and methan...

Clerodendrum umbellatum Poir (Verbenaceae) is traditionally used in Cameroon for the treatment of many diseases including intestinal helminthiasis. This study was undertaken to assess the in vivo antischistosomal activity of its leaves aqueous extract on a Schistosoma mansoni mice model and to determine the most effective dose of this extract. Mice showing a patent infection of S. mansoni were ...

in the present investigation, methanolic extract of mimusops elengi  leaves were evaluated for wound healing activity. entire wound healing process is complex series of events that begins at the moment of injury and can continue for months to years. methanolic extract of mimusops elengi leaves were examined for wound healing activity in the form of ointment by the excision, the incision and dea...

objective(s) this study planned to assess antidepressant like activity of aqueous extract from leaves of citrus maxima merr. (rutaceae). materials and methods boiling was used for aqueous extraction. acute toxicity study was performed in mice. antidepressant activity was studied using locomotor activity test, modified forced swimming test (fst) and tail suspension test (tst). three doses 100, 2...

The aim of this work was to establish the antioxidant capacity and the polyphenolic profile of Artemisia absinthium that could potentially be used in the human diet. An ultra-high performance liquid chromatographic method was used to identify and quantify individual phenolic compounds of the A. absinthium leaves. A total of 20 polyphenolic compounds were identified and quantified in A. absinthi...
