The present work evaluated the chemical composition and the DNA protective effect of the essential oils (EOs) from Lippia alba against bleomycin-induced genotoxicity. EO constituents were determined by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. The major compounds encountered being citral (33% geranial and 25% neral), geraniol (7%) and trans-β-caryophyllene (7%) for L. alba specime...

In the present study the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) was evaluated for pharmacognostical and phytochemical parameters and methanolic extract for antimicrobial activity by determining its MIC (by checker board method) and zone of inhibition (by cup plate method).Pharmacognostical parameters of the bark of Plumeria alba Linn. (Apocynaceae) were studied with the aim of drawing the ph...

background & aim: applications of synthetic antioxidant in food have side effects. in present study, the antioxidant potential of morus alba leaves, as natural antioxidant, was screened with cupric ion reducing assay (cuprac assay) and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant activity of morus alba leaves. martial & methods: the fir...

Pityriasis alba (PA) is a common benign disease, characterized by hypopigmented macules or patches on the face, usually seen in children. However, two uncommon variants exist, a pigmenting type and an extensive type. Extensive PA is rare. The lesions tend to be less scaly, more persistent, more generalized, more symmetrical, and more frequently seen over the trunk and less so over the face. We ...

World Health Organization appreciated the importance of medicinal plants for public health care in developing nations. Eclipta alba ( Bhringaraja ) having important role in the traditional Ayurvedic and Unani systems of holistic health and herbal medicine of the east.The principal constituents of Eclipta alba are coumestan derivatives like wedololactone[1.6%], demethylwedelolactone, desmethyl-w...

Lippia alba is a shrub found in all regions of Brazil and other countries in South and Central America. L. alba exhibits variability among its different accessions, showing differences in morphology and in the composition of its essential oil. This study evaluated the phenolic profiles and the antioxidant activities of seven different accessions of L. alba. The seven accessions of L. alba studi...

Morus alba L. is an important tree species planted widely in China because of its economic value. In this report, we investigated the influence of two arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) species, Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices, alone and together, on the growth of M. alba L. seedlings under greenhouse conditions. The growth parameters and physiological performance of M. alba L. seedling...
