Physicochemical Analysis and Wound Healing Activity of Azadirachta indica (A. Juss) Fruits

Wound Healing Activity of Azadirachta indica A. Juss Stem Bark in Mice

BACKGROUND The paste of stem bark of Azadirachta indica (AI) has been traditionally used on wound and scar for rapid healing in Bundelkhand region of India. OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, wound healing potential of different extracts of stem bark of AI was explored in mice model. MATERIALS AND METHODS To study the wound healing properties in small animal model, the excision and inc...

Analysis of insecticidal Azadirachta indica A. Juss. fractions.

As a result of chemical investigation on the ethanolic extract of fresh fruit coatings of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (neem), twenty-seven compounds were identified in non-polar to less polar fractions which showed pesticidal activity determined by WHO method against Anopheles stephensi Liston. These identifications were basically made through GC-EIMS and were further supported by other spectro...

Neem Tree (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) as Source of Bioinsectides

Photooxygenation of Nimonol, a Tetranortriterpenoid from Azadirachta indica. A. Juss

Nimonol (1), a tetranortriterpenoid isolated from the leaves of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae), upon photolysis undergoes both Diels-Alder and ene reactions with singlet oxygen at different sites leading to 14,15,20,21-diepoxy-23-nimonolactone (3), along with nimonolide (4), which have been well-characterised. The novelty of the reported reactions lies in hitherto unreported formation o...

An Improved Genome Assembly of Azadirachta indica A. Juss.

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.), an evergreen tree of the Meliaceae family, is known for its medicinal, cosmetic, pesticidal and insecticidal properties. We had previously sequenced and published the draft genome of a neem plant, using mainly short read sequencing data. In this report, we present an improved genome assembly generated using additional short reads from Illumina and long reads ...
