BACKGROUND We have previously reported that aerial parts of Tylophora hirsuta have antispasmodic profile. The current work is an attempt for isolation of pharmacologically active compound(s) that contribute for its antispasmodic activity. METHODS Preliminary phytochemical screening for crude methanol extract of Tylophora hirsuta (Th.Cr) is performed. Brine shrimp cytotoxicity of crude methano...

Ilex x wandoensis and M. Kim hybrid nov. (IW) is a new variety formed through the natural hybridization of Ilex. cornuta Thunb Iles. integra Thunb. It was first discovered on Wando Island, Korea. IW has not been studied to date; we investigated industrial application potential leaf for time. We prepared hot water solvent extracts tested biological activity. extract confirmed have antioxidant an...

Hoya lacunosa, Asclepiadaceae, C-Glycosylflavonoids, Latex, Triterpenoids, 4-ar-Methylsterols Hoya lacunosa leaves contain some main C-glycosylflavonoids, which were identified as: 6-Carabinosyl 8-C-glucosylapigenin (isoschaftoside), 6-C-glucosyl 8-C-arabinosylapigenin (schaftoside) and 6,8-di-C-arabinosylapigenin. In the latex triterpenols were found, often both free and in ester form, of whic...

BACKGROUND Cyperus scariosus R. Br and Cyperus rotundus L are widely used in ayurvedic preparation for the treatment of diabetes and other diseases. The early literature, so far, does not indicate the presence of any bioactive principle isolated from these plants. OBJECTIVE To identify free radical scavenging, anti-diabetic and anti- inflammatory principles from these two species. MATERIALS...

Background: The helminthiasis parasitic worm present in the gastrointestinal tract of animal cause infection and physiological damage. This occurs due to poor sanitation, impecunious personal hygiene, low socioeconomic position, lack education. Aim: Urochloa distachya (Poaceae) commonly called as signal grass used fodder for animal. investigation was undertaken investigate phytochemicals study ...

Eysenhardtia platycarpa (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Mexico. Biotechnological studies of its use are lacking. The objective this work was to establish cell suspension culture (CSC) E. platycarpa, determine the phytochemical constituents by spectrophotometric and gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS) methods, evaluate antifungal activity, compare them with intact plant. Friable...

Crataegus monogyna is mainly used in the treatment of cardiac and circulatory system disorders. In vitro and clinical studies are indicative of the fact that the hydroethanolic extract of C. monogyna has angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. This study sought to support these claims through the use of in silico modelling techniques. Possible binding conformations for β-amyrin...
