Albizia, a diverse tree genus, occupies monsoonal warm humid rain forests in tropical and subtropical regions. We recovered well-preserved compound fossil leaf two fruits of Albizia (Fabaceae) from the latest Neogene (Rajdanda Formation: Pliocene) sediments Jharkhand Chotanagpur Plateau, eastern India. On basis architectural features leaf, new species is established as A. mahuadanrensis Hazra, ...

The non-polar components of two leguminoceae species Albizia adianthifolia (Schumach), and Pterocarpus angolensis (DC) were investigated. GC-MS analysis of the crude n-hexane and chloroform extracts together with several chromatographic separation techniques led to the identification and characterization (using NMR) of sixteen known compounds from the heartwood and stem bark of Albizia adianthi...

Oral dissolvable films (ODFs) of diclofenac sodium intended for osteoarthritis were prepared using Albizia and Khaya gums as hydrophilic film formers. The physicochemical properties of the gums were characterized and the gums were used to prepare diclofenac sodium ODFs (~50 mg/4 cm(2) film) by solvent casting. The two gums showed satisfactory film forming properties. The physicomechanical prope...

This study was conducted to evaluate the anthelmintic effectiveness of Albizia anthelmintica, as a first step in investigating the hypothesis that livestock self-medicate. In July 2006, an observational study was conducted with 56 young female lambs, to validate A. anthelmintica efficacy. Faecal egg per gram for Coccidia, Strongyle-type, Monezia, Strongyloides and Dicrocoelia eggs were counted ...

The establishment and maintenance of plant species in the Chaco, one of the widest continuous areas of forests in the South American with sharp climatic variations, are possibly related to biological features favoring plants with particular defenses. This study assesses the physical and chemical defenses mechanisms against herbivores of vegetative and reproductive organs. Its analyses of 12 spe...

In the current study, Seventeen types of plants commonly used namely (Chickpeas, Tomato, Soybean, Mustard, Baker, Lebbeck, Bean, Sesame, Male Iraqi berries, Female Indian Potato, Radish, Legumes, peas, Watermelon, and Phaseolus were obtained screened for urease activity, among these plants, Sesame was chosen with maximum enzymatic it had highest productivity enzyme (1.623 U/mg protein). The opt...

In the course of three experiments it was established that all the toxic effects of a lethal dose of Albizia versicolor pods (greater than 4.5 g/kg) in guinea-pigs could be countered by concurrent subcutaneous injection of pyridoxine (10 mg/kg). This treatment was also successful once severe symptoms had set in. Pyridoxal, on the other hand, was found to be ineffective as a therapeutic agent. T...

The methanol extracts of 168 plant species from 68 families were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against lettuce seedling elongation. Among the plant species tested, 12 species had EC50 values for radicle growth inhibition ranging from 0.01 to 5.00 mg fresh weight equivalent mL. Enterolobium contortisiliquum, a traditionally used herbal medicine, exhibited the strongest inhibitory activ...

This study was performed to assess the nutritional value of specific tree species (laurus nobilis, albizia julibrissin, glycyrrhiza glabra, salix alba, robinia pseudoacacia, liquidambar orientalis, juniperus communis, quercus coccifera, cedrus libani, arbutus andrachne) growing in different regions Kahramanmaras, besides gas production leaves and their extracts at various dose levels (0.6, 1.2 ...
