Toxicity Testing of Two Medicinal Plants, Bridelia micrantha and Antidesma venosum

Toxicity Testing of Two Medicinal Plants, Bridelia micrantha and Antidesma venosum

A. venosum and B. micrantha are widely used ethnomedically and B. micrantha has furthermore indicated the potential to be developed into a drug due to the various biological activities previously reported. However, the safety of a plant must be determined before drug development. Cytotoxicity was determined using human adenocarcinoma cells of the cervix (HeLa), human breast cells (MCF-12A), lym...

Characterization of n-Hexane sub-fraction of Bridelia micrantha (Berth) and its antimycobacterium activity

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is the most notified disease in the world. Development of resistance to first line drugs by MTB is a public health concern. As a result, there is the search for new and novel sources of antimycobacterial drugs for example from medicinal plants. In this study we determined the in vitro antimycobacterial activity of n-Hexane sub...

Ethnopharmacology and Therapeutic Value of Bridelia micrantha (Hochst.) Baill. in Tropical Africa: A Comprehensive Review.

Bridelia micrantha is traditionally used in tropical Africa to treat a wide range of human and animal diseases. The aim of this study was to summarise the research that has been done on the ethnomedicinal uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of B. micrantha so as to understand its importance and potential value in primary healthcare systems. The literature search for information ...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
