the traditional extraction method was used to evaluate the antioxidant properties of nettle leaves in soybean oil. also the effects of three different solvents (water, 80% methanol and chloroform) on the extraction content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds from nettle leaves were examined. water extract had the highest extraction yield, and chloroform extract had the highest extraction conten...

The chloroform extract of Andrographis paniculata roots was tested for its antihyperglycemic activity in alloxan induced diabetic rats using chronic and acute studies. The blood glucose lowering activity was determined after oral administration at doses of 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg body weight in acute study. Where as in case of chronic study blood glucose, protein, albumin and creatinine levels ...

Antibaterial activity against Escherichia coli, proteus vulgaris, pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus was tested for the petroleum ether (60-80°C) chloroform and aqueous leaf extract of strobilanthus kunthiana by disc diffusion method. Profound antibacterial activity was observed for all the leaf extract.

Andrographis macrobotrys Nees is an extensively utilized Indian traditional medicine to treat several human and livestock disorders. The present investigation was designed to evaluate the antibacterial, antifungal potentialities and phytochemical screening of the different leaves and stem extracts of Andrographis macrobotrys belongs to the family Acanthaceae. Methanol, ethanol, chloroform, acet...

Mosquitoes transmit serious human diseases, causing millions of deaths every year. Use of synthetic insecticides to control vector mosquitoes has caused physiological resistance and adverse environmental effects in addition to high operational cost. Insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. The present investigations were made to eva...

Although the water-soluble metabolite profile of human mesenchymal stem cells is known, the lipid profile still needs further investigation. In this study, methanol-chloroform was used to extract pid-soluble metabolites and perchloric acid was used to extract water-soluble metabolites. Furthermore, a dual phase extraction method using methanol-chloroform and water was used to obtain both water ...

The ethanolic extract of roots of Salacia macrosperma (Hippocrataceae) exhibited significant in vitro antimicrobial activity. The ethanolic extract was fractionated with different solvents and all the fractions were screened for their antimicrobial spectrum against eight gram-positive, five gram-negative and ten fungal strains. Chloroform fraction followed by benzene fraction of enthanolic extr...

This investigation was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of agar disc diffusion method and determine inhibition zone Curcuma amada (CA) rhizome extracts (petroleum ether, dichloromethane, chloroform) against 12 bacterial species 4 fungal species. The zones were compared those Ciprofloxacin Griseofulvin for antibacterial antifungal activities, respectively. findings revealed ...

Moringa concanensis Nimmo. (Moringaceae) is a wild plant found in India. Traditionally, tribes used this as an antioxidant, anticancer, anticonvulsant, antimicrobial, antifertility, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic. In the present study, leaves of were subjected to successive solvent extraction with five different solvents increasing polarity, i.e., petroleum ether, chloroform, eth...

The present study was carried out to screen and evaluate antimicrobial activity of leaf extracts of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. Petroleum ether, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethanol and aqueous extract of leaves of A. indica were tested against selected Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial species. Phytochemical leaf extracts of A. indica exhibited significant anti-bacterial activity again...
