Ricinus communis has been utilized traditionally as medicine to treat inflammatory related diseases including wounds, sores, and boils. The leaves of R. communis were sequentially extracted with n-hexane, dichloromethane, acetone, and methanol using serial exhaustive extraction method. Antioxidant activity of all crude extracts was quantitatively measured against 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothi...

MATERIAL AND METHODS The hypoglycaemic activity of the four compounds isolated from Euclea undulata was determined by in vitro...

Objective: To study the anti-arthritic activity of Acetone Extract of fruits of Terminalia chebula (TCE) in wistar rats in an experimental model of rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: After necessary approval from Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC), 28 wistar albino rats of either sex (150-200gm) were randomly divide into 7 groups. Arthritis was induced in all animals by intr...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of aqueous acetone extract of Sida alba. (Malvaceae) an herbal plant used in Burkina Faso to treat traditionally hepatics affections in albinos Wistar rats. Animals were treated by gavage during 28 days with different doses of aqueous acetone extracts of Sida alba. (75, 100, 150 mg/kg) suspended in 35% ethanol. Control gro...

We investigated the effect of different solvents (ethyl acetate, methanol, acetone, and chloroform) on the extraction of phytoconstituents from Lantana camara leaves and their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Further, GC-MS analysis was carried out to identify the bioactive chemical constituents occurring in the active extract. The results revealed the presence of various phytocompound...

Cues that elicit a characteristic localized search behavior by neonate larvae of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), were extracted from living corn, Zea mays L., roots with acetone. Larvae were exposed to corn roots or to an acetone extract of corn roots and then transferred into a bioassay arena where their movements were tracked and ...

Methyl 3,4-dicarboxy-3-hydroxyeicosanoate (1) was isolated from the acetone extract of the fruiting bodies of Ciborinia camelliae Kohn. The planar structure of 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Capsaicin has general impressive health benefits such as anticancer, stimulates digestion and enables weight loss. The aim of this study is to extract capsaicin from black pepper white by using polar (Ethanol) nonpolar (Acetone) solvents maximize the percentage yield capsaicin. effect temperature solid solvent ratioon investigated for extraction pepper. higher acetone than ethanol both at ratio...

Sechium edule is traditionally used in Mexico as a therapeutic resource against renal diseases and to control high blood pressure. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the antihypertensive effect of the hydroalcoholic extract obtained from the roots of this plant, including its fractions and subfractions, on different hypertension models induced with angiotensin II (AG II). The hydroalcoholi...

BACKGROUND Several plants traditionally used in treatment of a variety of infections in South Africa are reported in ethnobotanical surveys. Many of these plants including Ziziphus mucronata subsp. mucronata lack scientific reports to support their medicinal importance. METHODS The antioxidant activities and phenolic contents of the acetone, ethanol and aqueous extracts of the stems of Z. muc...
