Sida tuberculata (Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Brazil as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Here, we aimed to investigate the different extractive techniques on phytochemical parameters, as well as to evaluate the toxicity and antioxidant capacity of S. tuberculata extracts using in silico and in vitro models. Therefore, in order to determine the dry residue ...

This study aimed to determine the antifungal activity of leaf aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of 10 plants from the Brazilian Cerrado on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Corynespora cassiicola. Antifungal activity was measured through the incorporation of each extract in a culture media or spore suspension, at 50% concentration relative to the volume, determining respectively the mycelial...

Accepted: 27/12/2015 Abstract Twenty five rats were divided into five groups of five rats each. Group I served as healthy control and group II as negative control. The study was conducted for the antidiabetic property evaluation after single injection of alloxan drug at 100 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally followed after 48 hours by the treatment with metformin (300 mg/kg) in group III, hydr...

The genus Astronium (Anacardiaceae) includes species, such as Astronium fraxinifolium, Astronium graveolens, and Astronium urundeuva, which possess anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcerogenic, healing, and antimicrobial properties. Nanostructured lipid systems are able to potentiate the action of plant extracts, reducing the required dose and side effects and improving antimicrobial activity. This work...

In the present work the antidiabetic activity of the Mallotus philippinensis was evaluated. The hydroethanolic bark extract showed significant increase in the levels of body weight, insulin and significant decrease in blood glucose, and glycosylated haemoglobin when administered orally for 30 days to STZ induced diabetic rats at a dose of 200 and 400mg/kg body weight. Phytochemical studies also...

tragopogon buphthalmoides (dc.) boiss, is widely used as a food additive with some imputed health effects in folk medicine of western iran. unfortunately, despite the prevalent medicinal uses of the plant, there are no reports on the toxic effects of t. buphthalmoides aerial parts. the present study evaluated the potential toxicity of dried hydroethanolic extract of the species in wistar rats. ...
