BACKGROUND Previous study showed that the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum possesses antihypertensive and vasodilatory properties. The present work investigates the acute and chronic antihypertensive effects of the methanol extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum stem bark (MECZ) in L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats. METHODS The acute antihypertensive effects of MECZ (5, 10 a...

Background: Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming food-borne pathogen often associated with food products such as meat, vegetables, soup, rice, and milk and other dairy products. 1 - 20 % of total outbreaks of food intoxication in the world are caused by Bacillus cereus. There is an increasing interest in the use of plant-derived antimicrobial compounds as natural preservatives for foods. Such as ...

The alkaloids lycorine, 1-O-acetyllycorine and ismine were isolated from the basic dichloromethane-soluble fraction of Crinum x powellii "Albu m" bulbs. The alkaloid structures were established by physical and spectroscopic analyses, including 1D NMR techniques and GC-MS analysis. The three alkaloids are reported for the first time for this hybrid. Additionally, the three alkaloids isolated wer...

Crinum asiaticum L. and latifolium are members of the family Amaryllidaceae. Karyomorphological studies these two species had been performed by using different quantitative qualitative parameters to know karyotype asymmetry, which defines advanced primitive nature species. The study revealed that diploid with 2n=22 chromosomes. based on Total Chromatin Length, Arm Ratio, Gradient Index, Form Pe...
