In recent years, there is an increased thirst for the production of plant-derived drugs for the treatment of many diseases. Having known the wide applications of betel leaves in day-today life, this investigation was performed to assess the antibacterial potential of betel leaves. Different extracts viz. methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and water were used against ten pathogenic bacteria...

Tropilaelaps spp. mites are considered a major parasite of honeybees. In this study, essential oils (EOs) 11 plant species were evaluated for acaricidal activity under laboratory and field conditions. Five adult per petri dish ten worker bees plastic cup cage exposed to different concentrations each oil (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10.0% (v/v)). The Piper betle (betel) showed the highest in testing. Ad...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities of the methanolic extract of Piper betle leaves (MPBL). MATERIALS AND METHODS MPBL was evaluated for anti-inflammatory activity using carrageenan-induced hind paw edema model. Analgesic activity of MPBL was evaluated by hot plate, writhing, and formalin tests. Total phenolic and f...

The phenolic constituents in Piper betle are well known for their antioxidant potential; however, current literature has very little information on their stability under the influence of storage factors. Present study evaluated the stability of total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity together with individual phenolic constituents (hydroxychavicol, eugenol, isoeugenol and allylpyro...

Purpose: To determine the antioxidant and anticancer effects of Piper betle (P. betle) leaf extract on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, to develop transdermal patches containing extract.
 Methods: The P. was prepared by maceration method, its activity evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Cytotoxicity suppression cell migration (indices activity) w...

Extracts of Buyo (Piper betle L) were subjected to a bioscreening study detect cytotoxicity activity by the brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Specifically, researchers opted use stem part plant since there has been no about its cytotoxic activity. The result obtained for ethanol extract was promising. concluded that is most active in activity, with value 205.3525, against other extracts. This ca...
