OBJECTIVES Oral cancer is the fifth most frequent cancer worldwide and India has recorded the highest incidence (40-50%) of oral malignancy. This study is designed to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of Terminalia arjuna bark (TaBet) on circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status during 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced hamster buccal pouch carcinogenesis. METHO...

The present studies have been planned to evaluate ovicidal efficacy of Ziziphus mauritiana and Terminalia arjuna leaves. For this purpose, egg hatch test (EHT) was conducted on nematode ova to investigate the in vitro ovicidal effects of crude aqueous extract (CAE) and crude aqueous methanolic extracts (CAME) of the leaves of the plants. Lethal concentration 50 (LC50) values of CAE and CAME of ...

Using rat liver mitochondria as model systems, we examined the radioprotective and antioxidant effects of the Indian medicinal plant Terminalia arjuna. Various sohxlet fractions of the bark and the medicinal formulation arjunsal besides an active ingredient, baicalein, were examined for their ability to protect both rat liver mitochondria and cardiac homogenate against radiation and oxidative s...

Terminalia arjuna Wight and Arn. (Combretaceae) is a tree having an extensive medicinal potential in cardiovascular disorders. Triterpenoids are mainly responsible for cardiovascular properties. Aqueous, hydroalcoholic and alcoholic extract of T. arjuna, arjunic acid and arjungenin were examined for their potential to inhibit CYP1A enzyme in rat and human liver microsomes. IC50 values of aqueou...
