the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ethanolic extract of the whole plant of phyllanthus rheedii wight p.rheedii as antihyperglycemic, antihyperlipidemic and antioxidant effect in streptozotocin (stz) induced diabetic rats. male wistar rats were administered p.rheedii (250 mg/kg) orally for 21 days and blood glucose level was measured weekly. at the end of 21 days, the serum ...

The genus Phyllanthus consists of more than 1000 species, of which many are used as traditional medicines. The plant extracts have been used since ancient times, for treating hypertension, diabetes, hepatic, urinary, and sexual disorders, and other common ailments. Modern day scientific investigations have now confirmed pharmacognostic properties of Phyllanthus herbs. The phytochemicals attribu...

Antibiogram profile of various pathogenic fungi on different solvent extracts of Seidenfia rheedii leaf were evaluated using the paper disc agar diffusion method by measuring the diameter of the growth inhibition zones. Among various solvent extracts tested, ethanol leaf extracts exhibited greater inhibition followed by ethyl acetate and chloroform solvent extracts. The petroleum ether, ethanol...

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies and reevaluation of morphological characters have led to the inclusion of Glochidion within a broader delimitation of Phyllanthus. It is necessary for preparation of the Vascular Flora of the Marquesas Islands to make new combinations for the Marquesan species. We also provide the relevant combinations and listing of all of the currently accepted species of...

BACKGROUND There have been conflicting data in literature about the value of Phyllanthus amarus in treating hepatitis B virus-related disorders. AIM To evaluate the role of Phyllanthus amarus in eradication of the virus in hepatitis B carriers. METHODS Phyllanthus amarus was administered to 30 asymptomatic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in a dosage of 250 to 500 mg thrice d...

clude some 500 species and are widespread in temperate and tropical climates. Phyllanthus species have attracted the attention of researchers for their hepatoprotective properties; an aqueous extract of Phyllanthus amarus was demonstrated to exert antihepatitis B virus effects to varying degrees. In 2003, various constituents isolated from Phyllanthus species were screened for anti-human hepati...

In the present investigation, aqueous, ethanol and petroleum ether, ethanol (1:1) root extracts of Seidenfia rheedii were tested against 12 different human pathogenic bacteria for antibacterial activity. It was found that ethanolic extracts inhibited the growth of all the bacterial strains tested whereas moderate antibacterial activity was associated with petroleum ether, ethanol (1:1) root ext...
