α-amylase activity of stored products insects and its inhibition by medicinal plant extracts

the experiment was conducted to determine α-amylase activity and the effect of seven plant species extracts including punica granatum l. (punicaceae), rheum officinale b. (polygonaceae), rhus coriaria l. (anacardiaceae), artemisia sieberi b. ( compositae), peganum harmala l. (nitrariaceae) , datura stramonium l. (solanaceae) and thymus vulgaris l. (lamiaceae) on α-amylase activity of four store...

“Study of In Vitro Inhibition of α- amylase by Phytochemicals, Aqueous and Ethanol Extracts of Some Medicinal Plants”

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...

α-Amylase inhibition and antioxidant activity of Singhnad Guggul in vitro

Background & Aim: Singhnad Guggulu is a traditional Ayurvedic formula for detoxifying and rejuvenating the joints. The present study was to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of aqueous extract of Singhnad Guggul (AESG). Experimental: α-Amylase inhibition assay by dinitro-salicylic acid method and antioxidant activity by ferric chelating and ferrous reducing assay....

Antiviral Activity of Medicinal Plant Extracts

Dichloromethane and ethanol extracts of 12 plants with a history of use in traditional medicine, were tested for antiviral activity against herpes simplex type I. The most potent inhibition was shown by ethanol extracts of Eugenia jambos, Cistus populifolius, Lippia alba, Chiranthodendron pentadactylon and Tuberaria lignosa. These extracts, and others that had no effect, were chosen for more ex...

Antibacterial Activity of Medicinal Plant Extracts

The present study aimed at evaluating the in vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of some medicinal plants against Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus sp. The methanolic extract of Caryophyllus aromaticus presented the highest anti-S. aureus activity and was effective against all bacterial strains tested.
