Subject and source Tecomella undulata (Smith) Seem. commonly known as`Rajasthan Teaka is one of the codominant species in the desert of western Rajasthan (Arya et al. have been reported from this plant. 3. Present study The concentrated petroleum ether extract prepared from the air dried leaves of T. undulata by Soxhlet apparatus, was chromatographed over a column of silica gel.

Two of the major factors that should be considered in leaves extraction are the solvent type and extraction method. In the current study, the effects of two solvents (Ethanol and Methanol) and two extraction methods (soaking and soxhlet) on phenolics and flavonoid contents, antibacterial and antiradical properties of extracts were investigated in a factorial experiment based on completely rando...

Shade dried, powdered seeds of Sterculia guttata were extracted using a Soxhlet extractor with ethanol. Ethanol was removed under reduced pressure and dried to obtained crude extract. This extract was evaluated for its effect on behavioral changes, exploratory activity and barbiturate-sleeping time, using appropriate standard methods in mice. The extract exhibited dose-dependent CNS depressant ...

Organosolv pulping performed in a high-pressure Soxhlet extractor using carbon dioxide as mild and recyclable acid is described.

Ricinus communis (castor plant) is a potent medicinal plant, which is commonly used in the treatment of various ailments. The present study was conducted to appraise the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of R. communis along with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by hemolytic and brine shrimp assays, whereas Ames test (TA98 and TA100) was used for mutagenicity eva...

Fresh leaves of vitex negundu were collected and macroscopic and microscopic characters were determined. Soxhlet extraction of the powdered leavers was carried out using petroleum ether (40:60) and chloroform. Idenitification of important phytoconstituents was carried out. Characterization by TLC showed the presence of vitexin. The processed leaf extract was tested for antimicrobial activity. T...
