Wound healing potential of different extracts of henna leaves i.e. Lawsonia inermis Linn. was evaluated on the rat excision and incision wound models. Lawsone isolated from the leaves was also screened for same pharmacological activity.It was observed that the oral administration as well as topical application of ethanol extract of henna leaves and lawsone exhibited significanthealing response ...

The leaves of Eucalyptus robusta Smith (Myrtaceae) are used in China to prepare the anti-malari­ al traditional medicine “Da Ye An” [1], Previous work on the extract of the leaves has yielded the bisphloroglucinol robustaol [21 as well as the robustadials A and B [3], The known phenols euglobal la, and Ia2, originally reported from E. globulus [4], were also isolated [3]. In a broad screening f...

The present study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant potential of different parts of Oroxylum indicum. 2,2-diphelyl 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical scavenging potential and reductive ability assay of methanol extract of different parts i.e. root, root bark, stem, stem bark, leaves and fruits were performed. Leaves and bark extracts exhibits highest f...

methanolic and aqueous extracts of dendrophthoe falcata linn. leaves which belongs to the loranthaceae family, were evaluated through dpph (1, 1-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl), antilipid peroxidation and nitric oxide scavenging methods to assess the antioxidant activity. methanolic and aqueous extracts of dendrophthoe falcata leaves were also evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by carr...

Objective(s) This study planned to assess antidepressant like activity of aqueous extract from leaves of Citrus maxima Merr. (Rutaceae). Materials and Methods Boiling was used for aqueous extraction. Acute toxicity study was performed in mice. Antidepressant activity was studied using locomotor activity test, modified forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST). Three doses 100...

oil from the eucalyptus tree ( eucalyptus camaldulensis l.) is used today in many over the counter cough and cold products, to relieve congestion. eucalyptus oil is also used in creams and ointments to relieve muscle and joint pain, and in some mouthwashes. in this study eucalyptus camaldulensis leaves extracted with water and ethanol 96°and the antimicrobial effects of extracts were evaluated ...

The methanolic extract of leaves of Turnera ulmifolia L was evaluated for its effect on blood glucose in alloxan-induced diabetic and euglycemic rats. The extract were administered at three doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. Glibenclamide (10 mg/kg, p.o.) was used as standard for control group. In euglycemic rat, extract were administered at three doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. Extr...

Background Justicia gendarussa Burm f. (Achanthaceae) has been known as traditional medicine in Indonesia. It contains of flavonoids and alkaloids. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of J. gendarussa on the profile of IFN-γ on mice (Mus musculus). Molecular docking test was also conducted to determine the interaction of alkaloids and flavonoids on the J. gendarussa leaves against I...

Antimicrobial activities of two ethanolic extracts, made from fresh and dried leaves of Pelargonium radula (Cav.) L'Hérit, were tested against fourteen species of bacteria and fifteen species of fungi. The well-diffusion method indicated the strongest activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The broth dilution method revealed that the most sensitive microorganisms were Bacillus pumilus, Bacillu...

The inhibition for the corrosion of mild steel in sulphuric acid solution by the extract of Stevia rebaudiana leaves has been studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization techniques. Inhibition was found to increase with increasing concentration of the leaves extract. The effect of temperature on the corrosion behavior of mild steel in 0.5M H2SO4 w...
