In this study, both qualitative and quantitative analyses of chemical composition of M. purpurea essential oil obtained in the Deryng and Clevenger-type apparatuses were compared. As a result, content of volatile compounds were: 785.67 mg/mL and 833.33 mg/mL in the oil obtained in the Deryng (D-EO) and Clevenger-type apparatuses (C-EO), respectively. The major components of both essential oils ...

The aqueous extract of various parts of the plant Tephrosea Purpurea (Sarphanka) has been used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for a variety of infective conditions (3). The plant is indigenous to North Eastern Madhya Pradesh where decoction of the root is used by the locals for treating sore throat, upper respiratory infection and infections of the lower urinary tract and is claimed to be very...

Extracts of the plant Echinacea purpurea are widely used for medicinal purposes. Effective quality control of these extracts requires rapid methods to determine their chemical composition. A new method for analysis of caffeic acid derivatives and alkamides from Echinacea extracts has been developed. With this method, isomeric isobutylamides and 2-methylbutylamides can be distinguished, a capabi...

objective: martynia annua l. (m. annua), (martyniaccae) has been traditionally used in the treatment of epilepsy, sore throat and inflammatory disorders. the leaf paste is used topically on tuberculosis of the lymphatic glands and wounds of domestic animals. tephrosia purpurea (t. purpurea), (fabaceae) has been used traditionally as a remedy for asthma, gonorrhea, rheumatism and ulcers. this st...

In order to assess the immunopathological effects of aqueous Echinacea purpurea extract (EPE) on mice experimentally challenged with Pasteurella multocida serotype A, forty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups. The groups included a control group (received sterile distilled water 2 times/week for 2 weeks, intraperitoneally and then 100 μl sterile saline intranasally), a PMA...

Incubation of Micromonospora purpurea SC 1210 (NRRL 5467) with L-[methyl-14C]methionine yielded [methyl-14C]gentamicin A and methyl-14C-labeled antibiotic JI-20A in a molar radioactivity ratio of 9:2. We did not isolate methyl-14C-labeled gentamicin X2, which was expected as an intermediate based on the biosynthetic pathways proposed by others. Addition of methyl-14C-labeled antibiotic JI-20A t...

Tephrosia purpurea is a copiously branched herbaceous perennial plant distributed throughout the tropics which is used in the treatment of bronchitis, diuretic, pimples, tonic, laxative, cough, and tumour. The present study is an attempt to explore the anthelmintic activity of aqueous and methanolic extract of leaves of plant Tephrosia purpurea . The various concentrations of aqueous and methan...

Nothovernoniagen. nov., is described as a new genus for the tropical African Vernonia purpurea Sch.Bip. ex Walp. and Vernonia amblyolepis Bak, having cymiform inflorescences, pedunculate heads with differentiated foliiform bracts at the base, apiculate involucral bracts with scarious lateral margins, spiculiferous corolla lobes, and strongly spinose, sublopohate tricolporate pollen with the col...

The naturally occurring allilochemics play a promising role in insect control by deterring insect feeding by their effects as insect growth regulators, as antihormones or as insecticides. Effect of Tephrosia purpurea extracts on reproductive ability i.e. fecundity was reduced at more than 40.08 %. There is reduction in hatching percentage also. It may be due to reduced juvenile hormone titre wh...
