Purpose: To investigate the active fraction of pomegranate fruit extract and screen it for analgesic activity. Methods: The analgesic activity of pomegranate ethyl acetate fraction (EtOAc) was examined using three models of pain: writhing, hot tail flick and plantar tests. EtOAc was administered by oral gavage in doses of 100, 150 and 200 mg/kg, p.o., for all the tests and compared to aspirin (...

Natural honey has been used in traditional medicine of different cultures throughout the world. This study looked into the extraction of Malaysian honey and the evaluation of the anti-inflammatory activity of these extracts. It was hypothesized that honey extracts contain varying amounts of phenolic compounds and that they possess different in vitro anti-inflammatory activities. Honey extracts ...

Two rare sulphate ellagic acid derivatives were isolated from the rhizome of Geum rivale L. in three simple steps. Their structures were identified by comprehensive NMR studies (1H NMR, 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC, HSQC) as 3,3′-dimethoxy-4-sulphoxyellagic acid potassium salt (1) and 3,3′,4′-trimethoxy-4-sulphoxyellagic acid potassium salt (2). Subsequently, a new precise (RSD < 2.6%), accurate (...

This study was designed to perform simultaneous determination of three reference compounds in Syzygium aromaticum (SA), gallic acid, ellagic acid, and eugenol, and to investigate the chemical antagonistic effect when combining Curcuma aromatica (CA) with SA, based on chromatographic analysis. The values of LODs and LOQs were 0.01-0.11  μ g/mL and 0.03-0.36  μ g/mL, respectively. The intraday an...

In this study, Suillus spp. after determining the dry matter and protein amounts of mushroom, antioxidant antimicrobial activities ethanolic extracts were investigated. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by DPPH method phenolic content HPLC. Antimicrobial against microorganisms that Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes Pseudomonas ...

Lactose and tannin are eco-friendly alternatives to commonly used binders for carbon-bonded alumina filters that applied in steel melt filtration. The investigation of binder pyrolysis is a contribution understand the production process these filters. In this work, lactose tannins gallic acid, ellagic tannic acid were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. measured situ an argon-filled heating cha...

Phyllanthus emblica L. (amla) has been used in Ayurveda as a potent rasayan for treatment of hepatic disorders. Most of the pharmacological studies, however, are largely focused on PE fruit, while the rest of the parts of PE, particularly, bark, remain underinvestigated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of Phyllanthus emblica bark (PEE) in e...

BACKGROUND Consumption of vegetables has been proven to be effective in the prevention of different diseases. Traditionally edible aerial part of Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum (Fabaceae) is used to treat diabetes, heart diseases and as blood purifier. Present study was aimed to explore the traditional use of aerial parts of P. sativum as a source of antidiabetic agent. In addition, antioxidan...

The phenolic compounds and the organic acids composition of the edible beefsteak fungus Fistulina hepatica was determined by HPLC/DAD and HPLC/UV, respectively. The results showed a profile composed by five phenolic compounds (caffeic, p-coumaric and ellagic acids, hyperoside and quercetin) and six organic acids (oxalic, aconitic, citric, malic, ascorbic and fumaric acids). The quantification o...

This study examined the antimicrobial effect of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) extracts obtained from four cultivars (Elliott, Darrow, Bluecrop, and Duke) on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Enteritidis. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the extracts against L. monocytogenes and S. Enteritidis in tryptic soy broth ...
