The anticancer agents from plant sources usually exert their action through a wide range of mechanisms. As part of our studies of plants for new anticancer agents with emphasis on Thymelaeaceae family, we examined the cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity of the water extract of D. mucronata leaves against induced breast tumor in rats. In the current study, we were interested to obtain some know...

A pragmatic approach to the treatment of infectious diseases with multicausal agents and prevention of the development of resistant isolates is the combination of herbal remedies with the first-line antimicrobial agents to which most of them have become resistant. This study evaluated the interactions between the ethanolic bark extract of Ziziphus mucronata with known antimicrobial agents in vi...

BACKGROUND Biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received increasing attention due to the growing need to develop safe, time-effective and environmentally friendly technologies for nano-materials synthesis. This paper reports the one pot green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf bud extract of a mangrove plant, Rhizophora mucronata and their antimicrobial effects against aquati...

Twenty growing Small East African goats were used to determine the effects of feeding sun-dried leaves of the browse forages Berchemia discolor and Zizyphus mucronata as supplements to low-quality basal diet, Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) hay, on voluntary feed intake (VFI), digestibility and growth performance. The grass hay and maize bran were used as a control. The dried leaves were then inc...

OBJECTIVE To determine the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory (AChEI) and antioxidant activity of the ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of 12 traditional medicinal plants used in the treatment of neurological disorders. METHODS AChEI activity was determined spectrophotometrically using the Ellman's colorimetric method. Antioxidant activity was carried out by determining the ability of the extr...

R. leaves on WiDr cells cell cycle-related cancer for 24 h evaluate regulation five genes, p53, EGFR, ...

Launaea is a polymorphic genus with inter- and intraspecific inconsistencies. The study aimed to revise the classification identification of species in Egypt. also assess variation among taxa using macro- micromorphological characters. Numerical analysis was carried out on 156 specimens, which were collected from 63 sites results revealed that L. arabica, capitata, intybacea spinosa significant...
