Species of Terminalia L. genus (Combretaceae) were worldwide used in traditional medicine to treat different kind of diseases. In Africa, 30 Terminalia species were described and the traditional uses of most of it as antimicrobial agents were reported by different authors. In the present work a summary of the principal studies and results concerning the evaluation of the potential of 11 Termina...

The present study was designated to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of various solvent extracts from fruits of Terminalia chebula. The preliminary antimicrobial activities of the extracts against cariogenic organisms were tested by using disc diffusion assay. The methanolic extract showed higher antimicrobial activity against all the cariogenic organisms tested. Based on this finding, the...

reactive oxygen species (ros) are generated by normal metabolic processes or from exogenous insults and chemical agents. they are capable of damaging essential biomolecules and accelerating cancer, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases. in the present study, the antioxidant role of terminalia chebula aqueous extract was evaluated against age-related oxidative stress in heart ti...

Tooth surface swab is collected. Background: Toothpaste has been manufactured throughout for the reduction in the bacterial level. The present study will be done to com...

Terminalia chebula, native to Southeast Asia, is a popular medicinal plant in Ayurveda. It has been previously reported to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy. In this study, we aimed to investigate if fruit extract from T. chebula might protect neuronal cells against ischemia and related diseases by reduction of oxidative damage and inflammation in rat pheochromocytoma cells...

The present study was carried out to evaluate in vivo and in vitro anti-inflammatory potential of selected medicinal plants used in Indian traditional medication. The sequentially extracted plant samples as, Cissus quadrangularis, Plumbago zeylanica, Terminalia bellarica and Terminalia chebula in water, ethanol and hexane were evaluated in-vitro for COX-1 and 2 inhibitory and antioxidant activi...

BACKGROUND The fruit of the Terminalia chebula tree has been widely used for the treatment of various disorders. Its anti-diabetic, anti-mutagenic, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral effects have been studied. Dental plaque bacteria (DPB) are intimately associated with gingivitis and periodontitis. In the quest for materials that will prove useful in the treatment and pre...

A separation method based on high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) has been established for the isolation and preparation of gallic acid from the ethanol extract of Terminalia chebula Retz. After comparing five kinds of solvent protocols of HSCCC, the two-phase system of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:5:1:5, v/v/v/v) was finally chosen as the operating solvent of HSCCC for...
