Plumeriaalba and Plumeria acuminate is small laticiferous tree or shrub is a native of tropical America, commonly known as White Champa Leaf and stem were evaluated for its phytoconstituents, which is used in several traditional medicines to cure various diseases. P. accuminata, P. alba, P. rubra, P. lancifolea, P. drastic and P. phagidenica are some of the species with medicinal utility. This ...

Bauhinia variegata L. is traditionally used in treating a variety of ailments in India. Phytochemical screening and in vitro free radical scavenging activity of aqueous and ethanolic bark extracts of Bauhinia variegata was assessed by studying its ability to scavenge DPPH, Nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical and reducing power. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of steroid, phenol/ tannin,...

Materials and methods Were performed the comparison between the AA sequence of the GenBank: CAA94019.1-ribulose 1,5biphosphate carboxylase large subunit, partial (chloroplast) [Bauhinia forficata subsp. pruinosa] and GenBank: BAC20389.1-pancreatic beta-cell specific transcriptional activator [Homo sapiens], available in the database of NCBI with the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLASTp) so...

Statistical analysis such as experimental design, regression and multi-response analyses are powerful tools for the characterization and optimization of the pharmaceutical process by studying the effects of variables affecting them and their possible interactions. In this paper, these analyses were detailed presented during the development and optimization of a process for the extraction of fla...

Bauhinia holophylla, commonly known as "cow's hoof", is widely used in Brazilian folk medicine for the diabetes treatment. Therefore, the aim of this study was at evaluating the aqueous extract effect of Bauhinia holophylla leaves treatment on the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by Streptozotocin (40 mg/Kg) in female Wistar rats. Oral administration of aqueous extract...

Symphysodontella madhusoodananii Manju & Rajesh, sp. nov. an epiphytic pendant moss, with flagellate branches and long acuminate leaves with two short costa is described and illustrated from the tropical wet evergreen forests of the Western Ghats of India.

A stem ethanol extract of Bauhinia strychnifolia and its compounds were investigated for their anti-HIV-1 integrase (IN) and anti-allergic activities. From bioassay-guided isolation, five compounds including quercetin (1), 3,5,7,3',5'pentahydroxyflavanonol-3-O--L-rhamnopyranoside (2), 3,5,7-trihydroxychromone-3--L-rhamnopyranoside (3) and a mixture of -sitosterol (4) and stigmasterol (5) wer...

Two benzooxepin types isolated from the stem bark of Bauhinia aculeata L. (Fabaceae) have been identified as bauhiniastin 4 (1) and pacharin (2). The structure of both compounds have been elucidated based on its spectroscopic data, including UV, 1D and 2D NMR, and HREISMS spectra. Compounds 1 – 2 were evaluated for their radical scavenging against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), showing t...
