BACKGROUND The present study was undertaken to study the larvicidal activity of different extracts of Nerium oleander 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, chlorof...

Plant extracts have extensively been studied to look for the treatment of various diseases but their poisoning effects have also been reported. The current study was undertaken with the objective of comparing acute toxic effect of Thioacetamide (TAA), a proven toxicant and Nerium oleander (N. oleander), a herb reported to have multiple therapeutic properties including anti-inflammatory, antifun...

In this study, we have examined the antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of different extracts (including water, methanol, water : methanol and acetone) of Nerium oleander L. grown in the north of Iran by employing various in-vitro assay, i.e. DPPH free radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant capacity through the Mo (VI) reduction. The extracts showed different level...

Tanaman beracun oleander (Nerium oleander) memiliki potensi untuk mengendalikan hama utama tanaman jagung, salah satunya ulat grayak jagung (Spodopetera frugiperda). Namun demikian, studi ekstrak daun N. yang disiapkan dengan menggunakan pelarut berbeda belum diketahui efektivitasnya dalam S. frugiperda. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perbedaan berbagai terhadap mortalitas, konsumsi makan,...

Leaf water potentials measured by in situ psychrometry were compared with leaf water potentials measured by the pressure chamber technique at various values of water potential in Helianthus annuus, Helianthus nuttallii, Vigna unguiculata, Nerium oleander, Pistacia vera, and Corylus avellana. In V. unguiculata, the leaf water potentials measured by the in situ psychrometer oscillated at the same...

In Present study the antinociceptive and the gastroprotective effects of orally administered or inhaled Thevetia peruviana Pers. K. (Schum) (Oleander) volatile oil, and its principal constituents linalool and 1,8-cineole were evaluated in mice. Either when orally administered (100μl/kg) or inhaled for 60 min Thevetia peruviana volatile oil significantly reduced the acetic acid-writhing response...
