Objective: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of many diseases, excessive inflammation increases immune cell activation, which can destroy tissues and body health. When occurs, multiple pro-inflammatory mediators are overproduced, leading to variety diseases such as rheumatism, diabetes, cardiovascular problems. Brucea javanica has been used traditional medicine therapy for an...

The study aimed to identify the HWP1 gene in non-Candida albicans Candida species and the differential expression of HWP1 following treatment with Piper betle and Brucea javanica aqueous extracts. All candidal suspensions were standardized to 1 × 10(6) cells/mL. The suspension was incubated overnight at 37 °C (C. parapsilosis, 35°C). Candidal cells were treated with each respective extract at 1...

various biological activities, such as antitumor, antimalarial, antifeedant, insecticidal, antiinflammatory, amoebicidal, and herbicidal effects. We are interested in such biologically active compounds and have isolated many quassinoids from plants, such as Brucea antidysenterica, Picrasma ailanthoides, and Brucea javanica. As part of these studies, we investigated the isolation of quassinoids ...

The leaf, root, and stem extracts of Brucea javanica were screened for phytochemical properties and antimalarial activity, after extractions with various organic solvents. Qualitative analysis of the phytochemical constituents showed the presence of the following secondary metabolites: terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and anthraquinones. The extracts s...

Interactions between root-knot nematodes and viruses were recently reviewed by Taylor (4). Compared to virus-free cowpea (vigna sinensis Endl.), cowpea mosaic virus-infected plants formed fewer galls on roots in response to infection by Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood (2). On the other hand, tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) infected with tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) and ...
