The genus Alaria includes seven species but only Alaria alata is widespread throughout all the Europe. In present research 43 adult samples, 20 mesocercaria samples and ten egg samples were analyzed utilizing molecular biology methods. QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (Protocol: DNA purification from tissues, Qiagen, Germany) and DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Protocol: Purification of total DNA from animal tis...

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to identify some yam assessions that are tolerant to the most invasive nematodes like Scutellonema bradys and Meloidogyne spp. Methodology and results: New assessions of Dioscorea spp. were screened in the savanna zone of central Côte d’Ivoire. Fourteen of D. alata and thirty seven assessions of D. rotundata were tested respectively and separatel...

Six isoflavonoid derivatives among which three are new have been isolated from the stem heartwood of Lophira alata. The structures were elucidated from spectroscopic and chemical evidences. Two have unusual carbon skeletons, possibly resulting from a variant of isoflavonoid biogenesis. The two compounds form the first members of a new subclass of flavonoid compounds which we call "isobiflavonoi...

Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of both types of diabetes mellitus. The disease is also known to adversely affect some haematological parameters and cause dyslipidemia. This study was designed to investigate the effect of chronic administration of ethanolic leave extract of Senna fistula on haema...

The use of the "naturally occurring plants" as herbal remedies and foods mainly from leaves, seeds, flowers and roots of plants or extracts require precautions before ens...

Phytochemical screening of Geigeria alata leaves revealed the presence of flavonoids,tannins and alkaloids. A flavonoid compound Iwas isolated from ethanol extract by column and thin layer chromatography and its structure was established on the basis of its spectral data (IR, UV, NMR and MS). Compound I and different fractions (ethanol, chloroform, nbutanol and ethyl acetate) of Geigeria alata ...

There are only a few treatment options for constipation and limited evidence of suitable treatments. Daiokanzoto (DKT) is a Kampo medicine often used clincally to treat constipation. DKT is a laxative used predominantly in Japan; however, clinical data on its efficacy and safety is lacking. Patients who used DKT, but were intolerant to either magnesium oxide (MgO; MgO group; n=16) or senna extr...
