متن کاملOne-step green synthesis and characterization of leaf extract-mediated biocompatible silver and gold nanoparticles from Memecylon umbellatum
In this experiment, green-synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles were produced rapidly by treating silver and gold ions with an extract of Memecylon umbellatum leaf. The reaction process was simple and easy to handle, and was monitored using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The effect of the phytochemicals present in M. umbellatum, including saponins, phenolic compounds, phytosterols, and q...
متن کاملIn Vitro Antioxidant Activity, Lipoxygenase, Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibition and Dna Protection Properties of Memecylon Species
Traditionally several species of Memecylon are used to cure skin problems. However, scientific validation of the plant as a modern medicine is lacking. Therefore, in the present study methanolic extracts of three species of Memecylon i.e., M. umbellatum, M. talbotianum and M. malabaricum were assessed for their antioxidant, anti-microbial, DNA protection capacities, 5-lipoxygenase and human cyc...
متن کاملEvaluation of the in vivo activity of different concentrations of Clerodendrum umbellatum Poir against Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice.
Clerodendrum umbellatum Poir (Verbenaceae) is traditionally used in Cameroon for the treatment of many diseases including intestinal helminthiasis. This study was undertaken to assess the in vivo antischistosomal activity of its leaves aqueous extract on a Schistosoma mansoni mice model and to determine the most effective dose of this extract. Mice showing a patent infection of S. mansoni were ...
