Storage of Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. seeds.
Calophyllum brasiliense is a species native to Brazil and has potential for use in the timber industry, in the reforestation of degraded areas, besides having medicinal properties. Its propagation is mainly by seeds which, depending on their recalcitrant characteristics, leads to difficulty in conservation, due to changes in its physiological potential during storage. Aiming to contribute to th...
متن کاملAnti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity and cytotoxicity of Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess (Clusiaceae)
We evaluated the in vitro anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity and the cytotoxicity of dichloromethane extract and pure compounds from the leaves of Calophyllum brasiliense. Purification of the dichloromethane extract yielded the pure compounds (-) mammea A/BB (1), (-) mammea B/BB (2) and amentoflavone (3). The compound structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and spectromet...
متن کاملMicropropagation of Calophyllum brasiliense (Cambess.) from nodal segments.
Micropropagation of Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess. (Clusiaceae) is a way to overcome difficulties in achieving large-scale plant production, given the recalcitrant nature of the seeds, irregular fructification and absence of natural vegetative propagation of the species. Cultures were established using nodal segments 2 cm in length, obtained from 1-2 year old seedlings, maintained in a greenh...
متن کاملanalysing the radioprotective effect of cotoneaster nummularia in mouse bone marrow cells using micronucleus assay
study of the different aspects of protection against the exposure of ionizing radiation has always been an active area of research. high cost and toxicity of radioprotective drugs have limited their use. so, search for new drugs with a high degree of protection and lower cost and side effects seem a necessity. in this study radioprotective effect of aqueous as well as alcoholic extracts of the ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antimutagenic Potential of Ripe Aegle Marmelos Fruit Extract Using Micronucleus and Chromosomal Aberration Assay in Mouse Bone Marrow
The present study was designed to evaluate the antimutagenic potential of ripe Aegle marmelos fruit, using micronucleus and chromosomal aberration assay in mouse bone marrow. The antimutagenic effect of 50% methanolic extract of ripe Aegle marmelos fruit was assessed using cyclophosphamide induced micronuclei (MN) formation and chromosomal aberration (CA) in mouse. The animals were pre-treated ...
