Purpose: Aloe buettneri A. Berger is commonly used in Togolese folk medicine to treat inflammation and gastric ulcer. In this study we investigated the anti-oedema, analgesic, antipyretic and ulcer healing properties of the hydro-alcohol extract of their leaves. Methods: Rat oedema paw were induced by the injection of 0.1 ml of formaldehyde 1%, tail flick method is used to study analgesic prope...

Na2SO4 as an inexpensive and effective catalyst has provided a green protocol for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran, pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinone and dihydropyrano[3,2c]chromene derivatives from the three-component domino reaction of aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile with 4-hydroxycoumarin/ dimedone/ barbituric acid in ethanol/water as a mixture of solvent that, this mixture entirely is ...

Auto-catalyzed hydrothermal pretreatment (A-HTP) and sulfuric-acid-catalyzed (SA-HTP) were applied to quinoa stalks in order reduce their recalcitrance towards enzymatic saccharification. Prior pretreatment, extracted with either water or a 50:50 (v/v) ethanol–water mixture for removing saponins. Extraction aqueous ethanol, respectively, led removal of 52 75% (w/w) the saponins contained raw ma...

Alcohol abuse and dependence are important medical, social and economical problems, affecting millions of people. A relatively recent habit among young people is mixing alcohol with energy drinks (ED), in spite of the risks involved may be higher than those associated with alcohol consumption alone. The mixture of alcohol and energy drinks, both with stimulant properties, may alter the percepti...

An herbal extract mixture and yogurt added to the herbal extract mixture were tested for their protective and therapeutic effects on ethanol-induced liver injury. The herbal extract mixture, yogurt and commercial drugs were used for treatment for two weeks prior to administering a single oral dose of ethanol (3 g/kg body weight). The herbal extract mixture and yogurt added to the herbal extract...

More than 1.0ƒÊg of 20ƒ¿-hydroxypregn-4-en-3-one and progesterone in the ovarian vein blood of rabbits can be quantitatively determined with a new chromatographic system using a partially esterified carboxylic acid type ion exchange resin, Amberlite IRC-50, and a mixture of ethanol and water (3:2 v/v) used as stationary phase and moving phase respectively. Before administration of human chorion...
