Inflammation is a normal protective reaction against tissue damage caused by physical injury, harmful chemicals, and protein denaturation. Protein denaturation process in which proteins lose their tertiary structure secondary due to foreign substances, external compounds, such as strong acids, bases, organic salts, solvents, heating. The purpose of this study was determine the anti-inflammatory...

Caesalpinia span heartwood is used in folklore in India. The present work attempts to summarize the pharmacognostical characters of the heartwood of this plant. Ash and extractive values, phytochemical tests, HPTLC and fluorescence analysis were carried out. The present work contributes for the standardization of this medicinal heat wood.

The Caesalpinia group is a large pantropical clade of ca. 205 species in subfamily Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae) in which generic delimitation has been in a state of considerable flux. Here we present new phylogenetic analyses based on five plastid and one nuclear ribosomal marker, with dense taxon sampling including 172 (84%) of the species and representatives of all previously described gene...

Pride of Barbados is a therapeutic herb which has wide traditional applications in the treatments and management diverse ailments. Diseases pose great threats to human race. This research was aimed at evaluating phytochemicals, proximate composition, acute toxicity, anti-inflammatory, analgesic activities pod extract order provide scientific validation for its use as herb. All analyses were car...

Previous studies reported that the use of Metschnikowia pulcherrima in sequential culture fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae mainly induced a reduction of volatile acidity in wine. The impact of the presence of this yeast on the metabolic pathway involved in pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) bypass and glycerol production in S. cerevisiae has never been investigated. In this work, we compare...

The genus Gephyraulus Rübsaamen (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is newly recorded on Fabaceae and in Japan. tokudai Elsayed n. sp. that develops the flower buds of Caesalpinia crista L. (Fabaceae) described here as new to science. A description, illustrations, ecological features species are given. In addition, a molecular phylogenetic analysis including species, G. zewaili lycantha, each from differe...

The genus Caesalpinia (Caesalpiniaceae) has more than 500 species, many of which have not yet been investigated for potential pharmacological activity. Several classes of chemical compounds, such as flavonoids, diterpenes, and steroids, have been isolated from various species of the genus Caesalpinia. It has been reported in the literature that these species exhibit a wide range of pharmacologi...
