The aim of the study was to investigate the Aloe vera phyto chemical compounds and antimicrobial activity of different extracts. The phytochemical compound screened by qualitative and GC-MS method. Qualitatively analyzed Tannin, Saponin, Flavonoids and Terpenoids gave positive results and phlobactanins and Steriods and Steriods gave negative results. In the GC-MS analysis, 26 bioactive phyteche...

Hepatic injury induces inflammatory process and cell necrosis. Plantago major is traditionally used for various diseases. This study aimed to determine the anti-inflammatory property of P. major leaf extracts on inflammatory reaction following acetaminophen (APAP) hepatotoxicity. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups, namely, normal control (C), APAP, aqueous (APAP + AQ), m...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of extracts (aqueous, ethanolic and essential oil) from Satureja montana and to characterise the chemical composition of its essential oil. RESULTS Satureja montana L. essential oil had relatively high antimicrobial activities against the seven species of bacteria tested. In contrast, aqueous extracts did not r...

Curcumin isolated from turmeric (Curcuma longa L., Zingaberaceae) root was found to be anti-angiogenic in a human tissue-based angiogenesis assay. As a liposoluble compound, curcumin can be extracted from turmeric root with organic solvents such as ethanol or acetone. Curcumin in its pure form has poor solubility in water, potentially limiting its medicinal use for humans when it is taken orall...

conclusions extracts of u. dioica showed significant antibacterial effect against some clinically important pathogenic bacteria. based on the obtained results it can be concluded that u. dioica is useful as antibacterial and bactericidal agent in treating infectious diseases. materials and methods hydroalcoholic extracts from aerial parts were prepared using aqueous solution of ethanol and meth...

catalytic isomerization of glucose to fructose by immobilized glucose isomerase in an aqueous-ethanol medium was studied. using michaelis-menten equation and haldane relationship, the main kinetic parameters were determined: kmf, vmf, kmr, vmr. by comparing the aqueous-ethanol medium with an aqueous solution, the measured values of kmr and kmf were increased in the aqueous-ethanol solution, whi...

Introduction: Nowadays, there is special interest in finding a new contraceptive drug with high safety and fewer side effects. Investigations have shown that dill (Anethum graveolens L.) can be used either as a menstrual cycle regulator or contraceptive. Since cell surface terminal sugars have crucial roles in oocyte maturation, fertilization and implantation, in this study we investigated the ...

BACKGROUND To determine the phytochemical constituents, antioxidant, and anticancer activities of Leea indica leaf extracts on DU-145 and PC-3 human prostate cancer cell lines. METHODS Leaf sample was subjected to Soxhlet extraction method with increasing polarity of solvents, namely, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, and aqueous. Phytochemical screening was done using different b...
