The main objective of this research work to establish the antioxidant property of different Phenotypic traits of Aegle marmelos leaf in methanol and water extracts. In the present study three different morphological traits namely Trait I, Trait II and Trait III of Aegle marmelos leaf ext...

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the diuretic activity of ethanolic extracts and its fractions of Aegle marmelos fruit in experimental models. Ethanolic extracts and its fractions of Aegle marmelos ripe fruit were administered to experimental rats intraperitonealy at doses of 300, 400 and 500 mg/kg i. p. Control group received only normal saline (25ml/kg) through intrape...

Aegle marmelos, Bilwa (AM) and Psidium guajava, Guava, (PG) leaves were screened for phytochemicals by sequential extraction using a series of solvents. The antioxidant components such as β-carotene, α-Tocopherol, glutathione, ascorbic acid, total polyphenols and flavonoids were also analyzed. In addition, the leaves were extracted with methanol (ME), ethanol (EE) and water (WE) and the polyphe...

Lectins are a class of ubiquitous proteins/glycoproteins that are abundantly found in nature. Lectins have unique carbohydrate binding property and hence have been exploited as drugs against various infectious diseases. We have isolated one such novel lectin from the fruit pulp of Aegle marmelos. The isolated lectin was partially characterised and its effect against Shigella dysenteriae infecti...
