The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the pods of Astragalus hamosus (HAAH), a plant used in Iranian traditional medicine, and antinociceptive effects of different fractions in animal models. The anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by the rat paw edema induced by formalin. Also the analgesic effect was exa...

Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth has been studied as an anti-osteoporotic agent. However, there is no report about its estrogenic activity, which important for activity. Thus, the aim of this research was to study potency P. extracts. The activity extracts (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and water extracts) using E-screen assay confirmed with a molecular docking simulations. Further, presence ...

the current study evaluated the general toxicity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of extracts obtained from the rhizomes of eremostachys azerbaijanica (labiatae) as well as analyzed the potent extracts using gc-ms. extracts of e. azerbaijanica in n-hexane, dichloromethane (dcm) and methanol (meoh) were prepared using a soxhlet apparatus. the antioxidant activity of the extrac...

Nickerson, Walter J. (Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, N.J.) and Giuseppe Falcone. Enzymatic reduction of selenite. J. Bacteriol. 85:763-771.-1963. Extraction of boiled yeast extract with n-hexane removed its ability to restore selenite-reducing capacity in dialyzed enzyme preparations obtained from baker's yeast or from Candida albicans. Menadione or thiodione substituted for the ...

The antibacterial activity of methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and hexane extracts of the leaves of Himalayan gymnospermous plant Ginkgo biloba L. was assessed against five animal and plant pathogenic strains (Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Erwinia chrysanthemi, and Xanthomonas phaseoli) employing disc-diffusion and broth-dilution assays. The methanol extract show...

Tanacetum santolinoides, Essential Oil Composition, n-Hexane-Ether Extract Composition The essential oil of the aerial parts of Tanacetum santolinoides was analyzed by capillary GLC and GLC-MS. Altogether 30 components were identified. The main constituents were thymol (18%), trans-thujone (17.5%), trans-chrysanthenyl acetate (13.2%), cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (9.2%), umbellulone (9.7%) and 1,8...

The presence of an endophytic fungus, Acremonium coenophialum, in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) deterred aphid feeding by Rhopalosiphum padi and Schizaphis graminum. Both species of aphid were unable to survive when confined to endophyte-infected tall fescue plants. Feeding deterrents and toxic factors to R. padi and Oncopeltus fasciatus, large milkweed bug, were primarily associated with a...

Hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol extracts of Psidium guajava, Terminalia chebula, Mimusops elengi and Achyranthes aspera were tested against the dental caries causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans and fungus Candida albicans isolated from caries infected patients. All the four extracts of P. guajava showed activity against both S. mutans and C. albicans. Maximum zone of inhibition wa...

Irvingia malayana has been utilized for traditional medicine in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.The aim of this research is to detect cytotoxic activity of extract of Irvingia malayana. The extraction with methanol and partition by variated eluen polarity. This extraction produced methanol extract, n-hexane fraction, methylene chloride fraction, ethylacetate fraction and methanol fraction. Cytotoxic...

it has been reported that rosa damascena hydroalcoholic extract has inhibitory effect at higher concentration but stimulatory action at lower concentrations on ileum. this could be due to the presence of stimulatory components in the extract. r. persica mich. is another species which belongs to rose family but so far there is no report about pharmacological action of its extract. therefore, the...
