Background: Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease, which is treated effectively with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drugs. This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of the extracts of Viola odorata and Cassia fistula on the acetic acid-induced colitis in rats. Methods: We determined the total contents of phenols, alkaloids, saponins, and tannins in the plants’ extracts. Further...

METHODOLOGY Aqueous extract of Cassia auriculata flowers was administered orally and different doses of the extract on blood glucose, haemoglobin, glycosylated haemoglobin, serum and tissue lipids, hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphatase in st...

CONTEXT Ulcer is the most common gastrointestinal disturbance resulting from an inadequate gastric mucosal defense. Several drugs are available in the market to address the disease; however, these drugs are associated with unnecessary side effects. OBJECTIVES Previous research have confirmed the efficacy of plant extracts for possible treatment of the disease. This research aims to evaluate t...

In an attempt to find alternative control methods for stored products insects, extracts of seven plant species (Cassia senna, Caesalpinia gilliesii, Thespesia populnea var. acutiloba, Chrysanthemum frutescens, Euonymus japonicus, Bauhinia purpurea, and Cassia fistula) were evaluated under laboratory conditions for their ability to protect wheat (Triticum spp.) grains against Trogoderma granariu...

Flowers of Cassia fistula L. were collected from Lahore, Pakistan and extracted in methanol followed by separation n-hexane soluble compounds a separating funnel. The separated phase was analyzed GC-MS for identification various possible phytochemicals. Among the 31 identified compounds, predominant compound this fraction butanoic acid, methyl ester with 17.81% peak area 3-eicosene, (E)- (6.83%...
