Extracts were prepared from 13 native plants used for the treatment of protozoal infections. Activity against bacteria and fungi was demonstrated by dilution procedures; Trypanosoma cruzi was evaluated in vitro against epimastigote and trypomastigotes and in vivo against trypomastigotes. In active extracts, toxicity was evaluated by Artemia salina nauplii, oral acute toxicity (1-5 g/kg) and ora...

Introduction: Red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) is one of the herbal plants used as a wound healing drug because it contains high oleoresin and essential oil. also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties that can strengthen immune system prevent infection. For safety using plants, necessary to do toxicity test. Subacute test detect toxic effects after administrat...

The present study aimed to evaluate the larvicidal activity, aquatic and subacute toxicity of anacardic acid in solution encapsulated zein nanoparticles. For potential, different concentrations were tested against young A. aegypti larvae, determining mortality rates at 24, 48 h residual effect between 1 4 weeks. acute ecotoxicology test, Daphnia magna was selected as untargeted environmental or...

Single-dose acute oral and short-term subacute dietary toxicity tests with captive birds provide critical information on the potential hazard of pesticides to wild populations. The two tests have similar experimental designs and both generate a lethality curve and estimation of its midpoint, the median lethal dosage (LD50) or concentration (LC50). Although LD50s and LC50s are widely used to cha...

Cyclohexanone (C6H10O, CAS No. 108-94-1) is a colorless oily liquid obtained through the oxidation of cyclohexane or dehydrogenation of phenol. It is used in the manufacture of adhesives, sealant chemicals, agricultural chemicals, paint and coating additives, solvent, electrical and electronic products, paints and coatings, photographic supplies, film, photochemicals, and as an intermediate in ...

3-Methylpentane (C6H14, CAS No. 96-14-0), isomer of hexane, is a colorless liquid originating naturally from petroleum or natural gas liquids. 3-Methylpentane has been used as a solvent in organic synthesis, as a lubricant, and as a raw material for producing carbon black. There is limited information available on the inhalation toxicity of 3-methylpentane, and the aim of this study was to dete...

Photoluminescent carbon dots (C-dots) were prepared using the improved nitric acid oxidation method. The C-dots were characterized by tapping-mode atomic force microscopy, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The C-dots were subjected to systematic safety evaluation via acute toxicity, subacute toxicity, and genotoxicity experiments (including mouse bone marrow micronuclear test and Salmonella t...

PURPOSE The present study was carried out to evaluated acute and subacute toxicity of a hydroalcoholic extract from aerial parts of Wedelia paludosa (Asteraceae). METHODS Toxicity of W. paludosa was evaluated in Swiss mice after ingestions of the extract during one day (acute model) and during 15 days (subacute model). RESULTS The results showed that the LD50 of the extract is higher than 4...

Abstract Background: Previously, the activity test of combination herbal juice garlic, rosella flower, red ginger, lime, apple cider vinegar, and honey, combined can lower blood sugar [1] reduce total cholesterol levels [11]. In use traditional medicine its effectiveness, safety must also be proven before juices are circulated in community Objective: This study was to determine subacute hepatot...
