Plants produce various types of natural compounds, including polyphenols. These compounds are also found with methoxyl groups attached to the oxygenated carbon atoms. Nevertheless, the occurrence of methoxylated phenolics in two unrelated plants, Vitex and Pandanus species, could be considered unusual. From the literature review, most of the published phytochemicals from both plants include tri...

Microscopy and phytochemical screening of the leaves of Pandanus candelabrum were studied. Microscopical examination of the leaves showed paracytic stomata which are more numerous on the lower surface with prisms of calcium oxalate cystals. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the 80 % ethanol extract of the leaves revealed the presence of anthraquinones, saponins and traces of tannins and al...

MicroRNAs play important roles in a large variety of biological systems and processes through their regulation of target mRNA expression, and show promise as clinical biomarkers. However, their small size presents challenges for tagging or direct detection. Innovation in techniques to sense and quantify microRNAs may aid research into novel aspects of microRNA biology and contribute to the deve...

The ability to attend to the functional properties of foraging tools should affect energy-intake rates, fitness components and ultimately the evolutionary dynamics of tool-related behaviour. New Caledonian crows Corvus moneduloides use three distinct tool types for extractive foraging: non-hooked stick tools, hooked stick tools and tools cut from the barbed edges of Pandanus spp. leaves. The la...

Background :Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease caused by damage to the pancreas in production or insulin cannot work effectively. Boiled water of Fragrant Pandanus Leaf (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb) can help reduce blood glucose levels. The purpose this study was analyze effect boiled fragrant pandanus leaf on levels male mice induced as hiperglikemi model. Methods : 30 were divi...

Many species of Pandanaceae have unspecialized stomata. In species of Pandanus there is a range of stomatal structure involving increasing elaboration of papillae arising from subsidiary and neighbouring cells so that guard cells, which are otherwise constant in structure throughout the family, are increasingly provided with a canopy of papillae which, together with sinking of the stomatal appa...

The present study was carried out to elucidate the potential of, chloroform extract of Pandanus (P.) fascicularis Lamk (Family-Pandanaceae) leaves on antinociceptive, behavioral study and antiinflammatory effects using various animal models The dried, powdered leaves of, P. fascicularis were extracted successively with petroleum ether (60 80°C) and chloroform in soxhlet apparatus. The chlorofor...
