BACKGROUND Previous studies of Gynura procumbens (G. procumbens) have shown that partially purified fractions of the leaves are capable of lowering the blood pressure of rats by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzymic activity and causing vasodilatation. The objectives of this study were therefore to further purify the active compounds that exhibited selective effects on blood vessels, determ...

The ethanol extract of Gynura procumbens showed virucidal and antireplicative actions against herpes simplex virus HSV-1 and HSV-2. It was further chromatographed on MCI gel CHP20P column giving the extract fractions F1 (water), F2 (water-methanol) F3 (methanol), and F4 (ethyl acetate). All but F1 had virucidal action against both viral types. We reported here the active compounds from F2 and F...

This study was to determine the composition of plant functional groups and potential value herbaceous species present in grassland communities West Timor. Ten stations Kupang Timor (Penfui, Alak, Bakunase, Tode, Mulafa, Oesapa, Tanah Merah, Tilong, Bukit Cinta, Naketuka) were selected at each stations, 15 plots 1 m x (∑150) randomly place. In plot, all presents recorded. Each further classified...

1 Past land use can have long-term e€ects on plant species' distributional patterns if alterations in resources and environmental conditions have persistent e€ects on population demography (environmental change) and/or if plants are intrinsically limited in their colonization ability (historical factors). 2 We evaluated the role of environmental alteration vs. historical factors in controlling ...

BACKGROUND Launaea procumbens (Asteraceae) is used as a folk medicine to treat hepatic disorders in Pakistan. The effect of a chloroform extract of Launaea procumbens (LPCE) was evaluated against carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver damage in rats. METHODS To evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of LPCE, 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into six groups. Animals of group ...
