We report here the rediscovery of Phyllanthus itatiaiensis Brade (Phyllanthaceae) after 50 years, as well its occurrence in Minas Gerais State southeastern Brazil. provide a taxonomic diagnosis, situ photographs, distribution map, and reassessment conservation status, which will contribute to our knowledge this rare endemic species ability protect it.

The glycaemic response to 124.5 +/- 9.3 (mean +/- SD) g of pancakes was monitored in 21 non-insulin dependent diabetic (NIDDM) patients while on oral hypoglycaemics, after a 1-week washout period and after a 1-week twice daily treatment with 100 mL of an aqueous extract from 12.5 g of powdered aerial parts of Phyllanthus amarus. After the 1-week washout period, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) a...

The aqueous, different solvent extracts and isolated constituents of eight higher medicinal plants viz., Argemone mexicana, Caesalpinia coriaria, Decalepis hamiltonii, Euphorbia tirucalli, Leucas aspera, Phyllanthus amarus, Phyllanthus niruri, Tinospora cordifolia and Tribulus terrestris were screened in vitro for antibacterial activity by cup diffusion method against eleven human pathogenic ba...

The Herpesviridae includes at least eight viral species pathogenic for humans, responsible for a wide variety of clinical symptoms. The lack of an effective vaccine and the moderate to high toxicity of the available synthetic anti-herpes compounds emphasises the need for new inhibitors. Several Phyllanthus genus (Euphorbiaceae) members have been widely used in traditional medicine and their bio...

The cell-based antioxidant activity assay as more biological relevant assay was considered to be more accurate to predict antioxidant activity in vivo than chemical activity assays. In the present study, the five main Phyllanthus emblica L. cultivars in China were subjected for cellular antioxidant activity based on HepG2 cells as well as antiproliferative activity. Total phenolics, total flavo...

The corrosion of mild steel is a problem in industrial processes based on its deterioration exposure to acids, alkalis, and salt solutions. This issue has prompted an increase research interest order mitigate the harmful effects metals their alloys. thermodynamic adsorption analysis 0.5M hydrochloric acid solutions via ethanol leaf extract Phyllanthus mellerianus was investigated using w...

The majority of tribe Phyllantheae (Phyllanthaceae) is currently placed in the paraphyletic genus Phyllanthus and discussions have persisted on how to resolve this issue. Here, we split into ten monophyletic genera, which are all reinstatements former but with changes made circumscription constituent species each group. genera Breynia, Glochidion Synostemon were recently found be nested within ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of Phyllanthus virgatus crude extract compared to Phyllanthus amarus. METHODS Phenolic contents of the hydromethanolic extracts were measured using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate free radical scavenging and antilipid peroxidation assays. Cytotoxicity on hu...
