background: the aim of this in vitro study was to assess antimicrobial efficacy of acacia nilotica, murraya koenigii (l.) sprengel, eucalyptus hybrid , psidium guajava extracts, and their combination on streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus acidophilus. materials and methods: the branches of four plants were collected, identified, and authenticated by a taxonomist. the plants were rinsed in wa...

Green synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been used against antibiotic-resistant bacteria and chemo-resistant cancer cells. We AgNPs from Acacia nilotica pods, evaluating their antibacterial activity eight bacterial strains anticancer efficiency two colon cell lines, SW620 SW480. Expression levels of genes (β-catenin, APC, TP53, Beclin1, DKK3, Axin, Cyclin D1, C-myc) were checked by a...

Plant phenolics and flavonoids have a powerful biological activity, which outlines the necessity of their determination. The phenolics and flavonoids content of 20 medicinal plants were determined in the present investigation. The phenolic content was determined by using Folin-Ciocalteu assay. The total flavonoids were measured spectrophotometrically by using the aluminium chloride colorimetric...

This review article aims to provide details on the primary phytochemicals found in Acacia and its numerous pharmacological activities. For those working creation of new pharmaceutical products, this is helpful.

Forty-two extracts of folk medicinal plant organs from Pakistan were tested in competition binding assays for their interaction with the specific ligand recognition sites on the human alpha2-adrenoceptor subtypes alpha2A, alpha2B and alpha2C Strong binding of the extracts (40 mg/ml) from Acacia nilotica (L.) Delile leaves (88-98% displacement of radiolabel) and Peganum harmala seeds (89-96% dis...

Four medicinal plants Acacia nilotica, Bombax buonopozense, Terminalia avicennioides and Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides traditionally used for treatment of sleeping sickness in Nupeland were investigated for in vivo antitrypanosomal activity. Methanol extracts of different parts of each plant (stem barks and fruits) were obtained and evaluated for their in vivo antitrypanosomal activities against T...
