Objective: Present investigations were carried out for evaluation of antitumor and in vitro antioxidant activity of ethanol and aqueous extracts of Jasminum angustifolium Linn. Methods: For its antitumor activity, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) induced swiss albino mice were used and were divided into five group with 6 animal each.The antitumor effect was assessed using viable tumour cell coun...

The chloroplast (cp) DNA sequence of Jasminum nudiflorum (Oleaceae-Jasmineae) is completed and compared with the large single-copy region sequences from 6 related species. The cp genomes of the tribe Jasmineae (Jasminum and Menodora) show several distinctive rearrangements, including inversions, gene duplications, insertions, inverted repeat expansions, and gene and intron losses. The ycf4-psaI...

Background and Aim: There are several reports about analgesic, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, sedative, and anti-spasmodic effects of Jasminum sambac. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic effects of Jasminum sambac hydroalcoholic extract and determine the role of GABAergic and opioidergic pathways in rat model by a plantar device. Material and Methods: Wistar...

Tomato mosaic virus was reported from jasmine in Florida. We present the first complete genome sequence of a tomato mosaic virus isolate from this woody perennial plant in the United States.

INTRODUCTION Jasminum sambac is a sub erect shrub with young shoots of ovate or elliptic glabrous simple leaves, entire margin, and acute apex with opposite arrangement, grown as an ornamental shrub in gardens and cultivated throughout the tropical and subtropical parts of India (1). Leaves, roots and flowers are used as lactifuge. The whole plant is used as diuretic, emmengogue, antihelminthti...

Baishouwu (Cynanchum auriculatum), a medicinal and food dual-use plant, has been cultivated for centuries is favored by consumers. C. auriculatum tuberous roots contain enormous amounts of flavonoids, lignin, other nutrients. However, the developmental characteristics phenylpropanoid metabolic mechanism in have not clarified. Here, phenotypes at three stages were observed, compared with root fo...

Jasminum amplexicaule Buch-Ham. (Oleaceae) has been commonly used in the traditional medicine in dysentery, diarrhoea and bellyache in China. In the present work, the methanol extract of Jasminum amplexicaule (JME) was examined for pharmacology on human colonic epithelial cell line T84 by the short-circuit current technique. The results showed that pretreatment of T84 cells with JME produced a ...

Flower fragrance compounds were found to be produced from the precursor solution obtained from flower buds by crude enzyme prepared from the flowers at the opening stage. GC and GC-MS analyses showed the formation of volatile aroma constituents from the precursor solution of Jasminum polyanthum F, Jasminum sambac Ait, and Gardenia jasminoides E, but none in the case of Osmanthus fragrans L. The...
