Tabernaemontana catharinensis A. DC. Seedling Emergence and Growth in Different Substrates

Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant capacity of Tabernaemontana catharinensis A. DC. Fruits and branches.

The antioxidant capacity of the crude extract and fractions of Tabernaemontana catharinensis fruits and branches, was evaluated by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and the content of polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and condensed tannins were determined by the spectrophotometric method. The ethyl acetate fraction of the fruits and the n-butanol fraction of the branches showed I...

Chemical Constituents Antioxidant and Anticholinesterasic Activity of Tabernaemontana catharinensis

The present work aimed to analyze the alkaloid content of the ethanolic extract of Tabernaemontana catharinensis (Apocynaceae family) and its fractions as well as to evaluate their antioxidant and anticholinesterasic activities. The analyses of the ethanolic extract of T. catharinensis by mass spectrometry allowed identifying the presence of the alkaloids 16-epi-affinine, coronaridine-hydroxyin...

EXTRACTION AND ISOLATION OF INDOLE ALKALOIDS FROM Tabernaemontana catharinensis: TECHNICAL AND ECONOMICAL ANALYSIS

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic infection that is considered worldwide one of the most important public health problem, affecting more than 12 million people with an estimated number of 2 million new cases occurring annually. Among the compounds isolated from Tabernaemontana catharinensis, coronaridine and voacangine are the indole alkaloids which have antileishmanial activity. In this work, the t...

Seedling emergence response to temperature in safflower: measurements and modeling

Quantitative information about the response of seedling emergence totemperature for safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is rare. The main objective ofthe present study was to develop a model for predicting days to emergence forsafflower as influenced by the temperature. In this regard, a field experiment with arange of sowing dates and four safflower cultivars were conducted to describe theresp...
