OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the toxic properties of petroleum ether extract of Wattakaka (W.) volubilis in Wistar female rats. METHODS An in vitro brine shrimp lethality bioassay was studied in A. Salina nauplii, and the lethality concentrations were assessed for petroleum ether extract of W. volubilis. A water soluble portion of the test extract was used in different concentrat...

ABSTRACTGuava is one of the plants that can traditionally be used for treatment diseases. Many kinds guava, which Australian guava has characteristics roots, stems, leaves, dark red fruit. This study aims to determine toxicity ethanol extract leaves (Psidium guajava L) using BSLT (Brine Shrimp Lethality Test) method and chemical content L). The was made by ultrasonic 96% solvent. Toxicity tests...

PURPOSE This study was aimed to evaluate general toxicity, anti-oxidant activity and effects of Ficus carica leaves extract on ischemia/reperfusion injuries. METHODS Antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid compounds of 70% methanolic extract of Ficus carica leaves were measured. The general toxicity test was carried out by brine shrimp lethality assay. Isolated hearts of male rats ...

Research on the extraction of chemical components Dengen (Dillenia serrata Thumb) leaves using MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) method and activity as an antioxidant toxicity test has been carried out. This study aimed to extract ethanol leaves. The were extracted by obtained with a yield 47%. was partitioned n-hexane solvents yields 5% (n-hexane) 65% (ethanol). leave identified phytochemica...

Objectives: Grewia paniculata (Family: Malvaceae) has been used to treat inflammation, respiratory disorders and fever. It is additionally employed for other health conditions including colds, diarrhea and as an insecticide in Bangladesh. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of different extracts of Grewia paniculata. Materials and Methods: ...

Sterculia quinqueloba (Garcke) K. Schum and Canthium crassum Hiern extracts were evaluated for antimicrobial activity using 96-well-microtitre serial micro-dilution method against Vibrio cholera, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. All extracts exhibited antimicrobial activity with minimum inhibition concentration range o...

Numerous studies have been focused on natural anticarcinogenic agents. Many antioxidants have been identified as anticarcinogens. Antimutagens have also been proposed as cancer chemopreventive agents. The use of natural products as anticancer has a long history that began with traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity of twenty-three plant...

Matoa (Pometia pinnata) is parts of Sapindaceae family widely spread in tropical areas, especially Papua. Several studies mentioned the use its as antioxidants and contain phenolic compounds flavonoids. This study aim(s) to conduct a phytochemical screening test well cytotoxic for Pometia pinnata leaves fraction using BSLT method. The research series began with extraction process 96% ethanol, t...

The present investigation was undertaken in order to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of two D-galactose-binding lectins using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay technique. Both lectins were purified from the marine invertebrates, sea hare Aplysia kurodai eggs and polychaete Perineries nuntia by conventional affinity chromatography methods. The molecular mass of Aplysia kurodai egg lectin (AKL) w...

Background We aimed to investigate different biological properties of aerial parts essential oil of Ferulago trifida Boiss and larvicidal activity of its volatile oils from all parts of plant. Methods Essential oil was prepared by steam distillation and analyzed by Gas chromatography and GC/Mass. Antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic effects and AChE inhibitory of the oil were investigated us...
