One new royleanumoate, a benzene ester (1), has been isolated from T. royleanum Wall. ex Benth along with two known compounds, namely, 3,4-dihydroxymethyl benzoate (2) and oleanolic acid (3). The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was established on two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques including heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC), heteronuclear multiple quantum Coherence...

Clinical and experimental studies have consistently incriminated the medicinal plant germander (Teucrium chamaedrys L.) in epidemic and sporadic cases of liver diseases. The sacaca (Croton cajucara Benth), a common plant in Brazilian Amazon region also comes being incriminated in similar clinical cases. Of both plants were isolated diterpenoid coumpounds with similar chemical structures. Key-wo...

Pesticide residue is a major problem in food safety. It particularly important to detect pesticides fruits and vegetables quickly effectively The near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) technique was explored as predict organochlorine Mesona chinensis Benth. Fourty-three samples were sacaned powder Antaris II FT-NIR. Samples split into two sets, one set used calibration (n=35) where the remaining (n=S...

This research was performed to evaluate the effect of light intensity (310 and 630 μmol ms) on production and antioxidant activity of flavonoids and phenolic compounds from the leaves, stems and roots in three varieties of Labisia pumila Benth. The experiment was carried out base on randomized complete block design with a factorial arrangement. The results revealed that total phenolic and flavo...

Fermented African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) seed also referred to as "Ugba" is a known delicacy, mainly consumed by Africans. Human migration has also led to the introduction of this delicacy into most European and American countries. This study shows the changes in volatile components of African oil bean (P. macrophylla Benth) seed at different stages of fermentation. A quantit...

The effect of the indigenous drug Picrorhiza kurrooa Benth was studied on experimental acute inflammation in rats. It was observed that Picrorhiza kurrooa at a dose of 100 mg/kg b.w. has significant (p<0.01) anti inflammatory effect with respect to control, vehicle and standard drug.
