The aqueous extract of Jatropha Gossypiifolia were studied for their anti-hyperglycemic activity, fifteen animals were taken and they were divided into five groups. First group act as the control, while the remaining four groups were induced diabetics by administering alloxan (120 mg/kg). Second group induced with diabetes with insulin treatment , third group induced with diabetes without treat...

The effects of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Rheum ribs L. (RR) of the family polygonaceae was studied on serum cholesterol concentration in rabbits. To induce hypercholesterolemia, 0.5 g/kg/day of pure cholesterol powder was given orally to each rabbit for two weeks then cholesterol was halved and each group of animals was treated with a different regimen for another two weeks. Both t...

malvastrum tricuspidatum is recommended in ayurveda and folklore medicine for the management of gastric ulcers. therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the antiulcer effect of whole plant extract of malvastrum tricuspidatum (mte) on ethanol (etoh)-induced, aspirin (asp)-induced, cold-restraint-stress (cru) and pylorus--ligation(pl)-induced gastric ulcer models in rats. aqueous ex...

Allelopathy offers potential for weed control through the production and release of allelochemicals from leaves, flowers, seeds, stems and roots.  In this research, allelopathy potentials of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Vinca rosea L. leaves were evaluated. Three extract concentrations, including 2.5, 5 and 10% (w/v) of both aqueous and ethanolic were prepared from a 10% w/v stock solution...

pistacia vera l., a member of anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. in this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. vera leaves were investigated in mice. the antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. the effect of the extracts a...

Objective: Rosa beggeriana Schrenk has been consumed in Iranian traditional medicine. In contrary to its close species (e.g. R. canina), there is no data on its medicinal properties. Therefore, we explored possible cytotoxic effects of R. beggeriana against two cancer cell lines. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic and anti-pro...

Spilanthus acemella Murr. also known as toothache plant is investigated for its preliminary phytochemical analysis and molluscicidal activity. The water extract found maximum extractive value (3.730%) than other solvents used. All the tested metabolites were qualitatively present in ethanolic extract and aqueous extract. Different concentrations of plant parts (root stem, leaf) were used for mo...

Background and Aim: In recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Berberis vulgaris on Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteu...

1. Insoluble salts of alklaine earth metals (e. g. calcium phosphate) dissolve in non-aqueous solvents containing EDTA salts of organic cations (e.g. tetraethylammonium). 2. Bone is efficiently demineralized in ethanolic trimethylammonium EDTA. Retention in the matrix of water-soluble materials (e.g. proteoglycan) is much better than in standard aqueous EDTA demineralization procedures.

Anticonvulsant activity of aqueous (AQHE) and ethanolic (ETHE) extract of Hybanthus enneaspermus was studied using maximal electric shock (MES) and strychnine induced convulsions models. AQHE at the doses of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg orally showed significant protection in both models. The activity was equipotent to phenobarbitone sodium (30 mg/kg; i.p.). The AQHE showed no neurotoxicity. Ethanol...
