Tridax procumbens leaf extract induced aortic relaxation in a concentration-dependent manner, for both phenylephrine (PE) and KCl- induced contractions in isolated rat aortic rings. The relaxation effect of the extract on PE-induced contraction was 57% greater than that on KCl- induced contraction. The extract caused dose-dependent relaxations in precontracted isolated rat aorta with phenylephr...

Herbs are natural remedies for the disease with higher safety profile and efficacy. India is gifted with varieties of large number of medicinal herbs because of variety of climatic conditions and seasons favorable for growth of many species of plants. Amongst the large number of herbal drugs existing in India, very few have been studied systematically so far. Tridax procumbens L is a highly val...

Two new flavones, 8,3'-dihydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxy-6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl flavone (1) and 6,8,3'-trihydroxy-3,7,4'-trimethoxyflavone (2) were isolated from Tridax procumbens Linn., together with the four known compounds puerarin (3), esculetin (4), oleanolic acid (5) and betulinic acid (6). The structures of the two new flavones were elucidated based on chemical analysis and spectral methods (I...

in the present study, an indigenous medicinal plant, tridax procumbens (asteraceae) was used as bioadsorbent for the removal of cr (iii) ions from synthetic wastewater and the method was also applied for real sample analysis. the biosorption of cr (iii) was a two-stage batch reactor process. in the first stage, raw biomaterial was used to the conversion of cr (vi) into cr (iii). the amount of t...

Co-metabolism between plants and rhizosphere microbes is the mainstay of rhizoremediation contaminated soils. The aim current study was to isolate screen selected micro-fungi two Asteraceae (Tridax procumbens Chromolaena odorata) collected from wild in University Lagos, Akoka, Lagos State for bioremediation potential. Rhizosphere fungi were isolated, identified evaluated crude oil myco-remediat...
