OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimalarial effect of a few plants in Togo folk medicine. METHODS After ethnobotanical survey, Opilia celtidifolia, Pavetta corymbosa (P. corymbosa) and Tamarindus indica (T. indica) were selected for screening. In vitro antimalarial tests were performed on crude extracts against fresh clinical isolates of Plasmodium falciparum using the semi microtest. RESULTS...

The chemical composition and minerals analysis of four different plant species viz., Hippophae rhamnoides, Azadirachta indica, Punica granatum and Ocimum sanctum leaves were studied. In the nutritional analysis the Punica granatum was found enriched source of ectin, crude fiber, sugar and vitamin C as compare with other targeted plant leaves. The fat contents was also found in valuable quantity...

Mango fruit (Mangifera indica) is rich of phytoestrogens, polyphenols, calcium, iron and potassium which play an important role in bone and dental growth and development. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of M. indica on embryos in pregnant mice. Twenty four pregnant mice were equally divided into 3 groups of those receiving aquous extract of the mango fruit, its alcoholic extra...

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus of Sebacinaceae which colonizes the roots of many plant species and confers benefits to the hosts. We demonstrate that approximately 75% of the genes, which respond to P. indica in Arabidopsis roots, differ among seedlings grown on normal phosphate (Pi) or Pi limitation conditions, and among wild-type and the wrky6 mutant impaired in the regulation ...

The Present investigation covers the scientific comprehension of the potential effects of fluoride toxicity on body and testes weight and the spermatozoal activities in male albino rat and the beneficial effect of novel medicinal plant Tamarindus indica therapeutic treatment (10gm/kg body weight) after fluoride water intoxication. Three groups of male albino rats five of each were intoxicated w...

The study investigates the effect of temperature on the infectivity of two entomopathogenic nematodes, viz. Steinernema sp. and Heterorhabditis indica, locally isolated from Mizoram, northeastern India, using last instar larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, as an insect host. Two hundred infective juveniles/larva of wax moth were exposed to different temperatures, viz. 10, 15, 20, 2...

in the present study,cardioprotective effect of aqueous extract of garcinia indica linn. fruit rinds in isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction in wistar albino rats was evaluated. in vitro total phenolic, total flavonoid content and 2, 2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate radical scavenging activity was measured. in vivo effect of aqueous extract of g. indica was evaluated in wistar albino ...

the root endophytic fungus, piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including cereals and brasicaceae. there are several reports indicating that p. indica protects roots from different path-ogens. in the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with p. indica and were subsequently infected with fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and cr...

background: interest in tatera indica rodent arises mostly because it is believed that this species is survived among four subspecies reported from iran, two of which exist in khuzestan province. in addition, it might has a role as res­ervoir hosts of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the transmission of leishmania major in some of the widespread asian foci including southwestern iran. method...
