The aim of this research is to comparatively study the phytochemical and antimicrobial properties of Bryophyllum pinnatum and Citrus aurantifolia leaf extracts and their synergy. Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Mucor mucedo, Penicillium notatum and Candida albicans, were used as test organisms and the antimicrobial a...

In the present study three medicinal plants Vitex negundo Linn (Verbenaceae), Bryophyllum pinnatum Linn (Crassulaceae) and Centella asiatica (Umbelliferae) reported to have significant analgesic potential were selected to be formulated as polyherbal gels with and without permeation enhancers and were investigated for their antinociceptive potential. The dried finely ground herbs were extracted ...

Aims: To characterize the chemical composition of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaf ethyl acetate fraction.
 Methodology: Quantitative phytochemical was assessed using gas chromatography fitted with flame ionization detector (GC-FID), while characterization via chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) analysis. The mass spectra peaks were matched those found in National Institute Standard and...

Bryophyllum pinnatum (B. pinnatum) is a perennial herb growing widely and used in folkloric medicine. Much research work has not been carried out on its effect on hematological parameters. We therefore decided to investigate the effect of crude methanolic leaf extract of B. pinnatum on some hematological parameters in Wistar rats. Twenty (20) male Wistar rats aged 2 to 3 months obtained from th...
