This study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of extracts of meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) herb traditionally used to treat malaria in Indonesia. Three extracts viz aqueous, methanolic and chloroformic extracts were obtained by maceration of t...

the antimicrobial effectiveness of different extracts of chicory (cichorium intybus l.) plant including methanolic, ethylic acetate, chloroformic, and aqueous extracts was evaluated by disk diffusion method. the ethylic acetate extract showed higher antibacterial activity against e. coli compared with others. then, effects of different levels of ethylic acetate extract on growth performance and...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerial parts of stachys lavandulifolia vahl. extract on the rat ileum contractions. the crude extract was prepared by maceration method (90% methanol) followed by fractionating into chloroform, ethyl acetate, petroleum ether and water. in adult male wistar rats, ileum was sectioned and mounted in tissue bath and their contractility was reco...
