(1) Background: Essential oil from Vitex negundo is known to have repellent and insecticidal properties toward the Anopheles gambiae this linked its monoterpene sesquiterpene content. In work, an effort made delineate constitution of V. essential (VNEO) their interaction with odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) A. hence access efficiency as cost-effective safer malaria vector control alternatives. ...

Type 2 diabetes is one of the major life threatening diseases worldwide these cases are progressing at an incremental rate every year and number of research works are going on to control the disease by targeting its enzymes or proteins. The medicinal properties of Vitex negundo and one of its compounds, 1, 2 disubstituted idopyranose (C23H28O12) was checked against diabetes mellitus by molecula...

Environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity is thought to play an important role in the adaption of plant populations to heterogeneous habitat conditions, and yet the importance of epigenetic variation as a mechanism of adaptive plasticity in natural plant populations still merits further research. In this study, we investigated populations of Vitex negundo var. heterophylla (Chinese chastetr...

Based on qualitative and quantitative melissopalynological analyses, 19 Chinese honeys were classified by botanical origin to determine their floral sources. The honey samples were collected during 2010-2011 from the central region of Shanxi Province, North China. A diverse spectrum of 61 pollen types from 37 families was identified. Fourteen samples were classified as unifloral, whereas the re...

--The purpose of this paper is to identify the potentials of Acer negundo for renaturalization under midcity condrtions. --+The focus is on recent Montreal experiences. Acer negundo in the past planted mostly in its colored -leaf varieties, is hardly available anymore in the nurseries. Despite this, and despite the fact that Acer negundo is not native to our region, it has established an increa...

PURPOSE Cataract is the leading cause of blindness and is associated with oxidative damage and protein modification in the lens. In the present study, we have employed proteomic and microscopic approaches to investigate the attenuation of selenite cataract by the flavonoids from Vitex negundo (FVN). METHODS To demonstrate this attenuation, Sprague-Dawley rat pups were divided into control (G ...
