The current study manifested that the aqueous flower extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum contain bioactive compounds, is found to be responsible for bioreduction during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles The synthesis of silver nanoparticles occurred under the exposure of the flower extract to 1mM silver nitrate aqueous solution .During this process the complete reduction was observed nearly ...

BACKGROUND Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is still a challenge to manage for all physicians. We feel that a summary of the current literature and a systematic review to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of flower pollen extract would be helpful for physicians who are considering a phytotherapeutic approach to treating patients with CP/CPPS. METHODS A comprehensive ...

the present study investigates the antioxidant, anticancer, anticholinesterase, anti-genotoxic activities and phenolic contents of flower, fruit and seed methanol extracts of hypericum retusum aucher. the amounts of protocatechuic acid, catechin, caffeic acid and syringic acid in methanol extracts were determined by hplc. total phenolic content of h. retusum seed extract was found more than fru...

The corrosion inhibitive action of flower extracts of Clitoria ternata flower on mild steel corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution was studied using weight loss method, potentiodynamic polarization and EIS measurements. The results obtained indicate that the extracts functioned as good inhibitors in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Inhibition efficiency was found to increase with extract concentration. The ads...

In this study, the potential use of Moringa oleifera as a clotting agent of different types of milk (whole, skim, and soy milk) was investigated. M. oleifera seed extract showed high milk-clotting activity followed by flower extract. Specific clotting activity of seed extract was 200 times higher than that of flower extract. Seed extract is composed by four main protein bands (43.6, 32.2, 19.4,...
