Antimicrobial, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Potential of Caesalpinia pulcherrima Flower
Most of the world’s populations residing in developing countries depend on alternative medicine and use of plant ingredients. Caesalpinia pulcherrima (Fabaceae) is used in folk medicine for the treatment of various diseases including asthma, bronchitis, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery and malarial infection. The present study was undertaken to determine antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic act...
متن کاملAntioxidant and cytotoxic activities of Caesalpinia pulcherrima wood.
Antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of Caesalpinia pulcherrima wood were studied in in vitro models. Both extracts exhibited strong antioxidant activity, as evidenced by the low IC50 values in both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide and superoxide scavenging methods; the values were found to be less or comparable to those of gallic acid, ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Turbinaria conoides (J.Agardh) Kuetz
Brown alga, Turbinaria conoides was successively extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol:water (1:1). The extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities by disc diffusion method. Minimal inhibitory concentration was determined for active extracts by broth dilution method. The antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts were tested in human embryon...

متن کاملAntimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Cyanobacteria
Present study screened ten Cyanobacterial extracts for antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity (against human cervical carcinoma cells Hela and SiHa) & GC-MS for chemical composition. Cyanobacterial extracts were subjected to Agar Well Diffusion Assay at concentration of 100μg. well -1 and incubated at 37 + 2 o C. Inhibition zone was measured in millimetres (mm) after 18-24 hour. Minimum inhibitor...
