General procedures for the extraction of Citrus leaf proteins for analysis by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) were developed through the evaluation and modification of existing methods. Among the methods evaluated, the best results were obtained when Tris-HCl, KCl, and phenol extractions were followed by precipitation with organic solvents to purify and concentrate the samples. The utili...

Introduction: Stroke is one of the diseases that cause death and impact serious health problems. The inflammatory response appears in ischemic stroke will affect progression stroke. This study examines ethanol extract Jatropha leaves (Jatropha curcas L.) as a gel compress preparation post-ischemic patients. Methods: research design was experimental with randomized post-test-only control group d...

Crataegus monogyna, commonly known as hawthorn, is notorious for having different ethnopharmacological applications. The antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts from its flowers and fruits in several stages of development was formerly reported by us. Therefore it is believable that the extracts of its botanical parts might have great potential to be incorporated in innovative pharmaceutical...

BACKGROUND A simple and sensitive thin-layer chromatographic method has been established for quantification of glycyrrhizin in Glycyrrhiza glabra rhizome and baby herbal formulations by validated Reverse Phase HPTLC method. MATERIALS AND METHODS RP-HPTLC Method was carried out using glass coated with RP-18 silica gel 60 F254S HPTLC plates using methanol-water (7: 3 v/v) as mobile phase. RES...
