The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of the hydro-alcoholic extract of the pods of Astragalus hamosus (HAAH), a plant used in Iranian traditional medicine, and antinociceptive effects of different fractions in animal models. The anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated by the rat paw edema induced by formalin. Also the analgesic effect was exa...

Antimicrobial activity of methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate extracts from whole herb of Marrubium peregrinum L. (Lamiaceae) were investigated in this study. Horehound, a perennial plant, was collected from the region of Suva Planina Mt. in eastern Serbia. Testing was preformed by microdilution method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) have ...

The result showed that ethanol extract inhibits the action of staphylococcus aureus 9mm,Escherichia coli 4mm,salmonella tiphy 6mm, muc...

Antioxidant potential of Aspergillus candidus MTCC 2202 broth filtrate extract was studied using different antioxidant models, whereas anti-inflammatory potential was studied using carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema model. The ethyl acetate extract at 1000 microg/ml showed maximum scavenging activity of the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl,2-picryl hydrazyl upto 96.65% (IC50=430.36 microg/ml) and sc...

The numbers of adults with diabetes in the world is estimated to rise 300 millions in the year 2025 and this leads to increasing search for better anti-diabetic drug. The effects of the ethanol extract (1.25 g/kg) and fractions (Ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and butanol in the dose of 1 g/kg) of Anacardium occidentale stem bark on the blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced types 1 and ...

The effective therapeutic options for AD are limited and thus there is a demand for new drugs. Aegle marmelos (Linn.) (A. marmelos) leaves have been used in traditional medicine to promote intellect and enhance memory. In this study, we evaluated A. marmelos ...

The fingerprint profiles of methanol extract and ethyl acetate sub fraction of Azadirachta indica leaves were conducted using preliminary phytochemical screening and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) analysis. Preliminary phytochemical screening was performed using various biochemical tests. Alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin, saponin and phenol were present in both the extract/subfra...
