In the absence of any genetic or sequence information of a closely related species or individuals, showing morphological similarity and limited difference, differential display becomes an important technique to look into their genetic similarity and differences. Plants showing difference like disease resistance and susceptibility can be screened by this technique and sequence homology search ca...

Methods Stated formulations contain the common crude drug named piper longum. As we know that piperine is the key active plant ingredient of the drug and responsible for its therapeutic activity, both formulations have been standardized through high performance thin layer chromatography with respect to this marker compound (piperine). The stationary phase used was precoated silica gel 60F 254. ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of alcoholic extract of Allium sativum and Piper longum on the muscular activity of a parasitic amphistome, Gigantocotyle explanatum. MATERIALS AND METHODS Amphistomes were isometrically mounted to record the spontaneous muscular activity by using Chart 4 software program (Power Lab, AD Instruments, Australia) and to examine the effects of cumulative doses...

Anticancer potential of Piper longum fruit against human cancer cell lines (DU-145 prostate, A549 lung, THP-1 leukemia, IGR-OVI-1 ovary and MCF-7 breast) as well as its in vitro and in vivo biochemical efficacy in A1Cl3-induced hepatotoxicity were evaluated in the rats. Dried samples were extracted with several solvents using soxhlet apparatus. Flavonoid content in chloroform, benzene, ethyl al...

A comparison of analysis in evaluating the hepatoprotective action of ethanolic extract of M. azedarach (MAE) and P. longum (PLE) with their combination biherbal extract (BHE) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatic damage is reported in albino rats. There was a marked elevation of serum marker enzyme levels in CCl4 treated rats, which were restored towards normalization in the drug...

L is commonly known as Kali Mirch, Pippali, Milagu Peppercorn, White pepper, Green Black Madagascar pepper longum plant a deciduous slender aromatic climber. major source bioactive constituents in black fruits. It contains pungent alkaloid piperine (1-peperoyl piperidine) which to possess pharmac...

The adulticidal activity of methanol extracts from three Malaysian plants namely Acorus calamus Linn., Litsea elliptica Blume and Piper aduncum Linn. against adult of Aedes aegypti (L.) were studied. Standard WHO bioassay tests were used to evaluate the effectiveness of these plant extracts. The hexane fraction from methanol extract of Acorus calamus rhizome was the most effective, exhibiting L...

Malaria is still a serious cases all over the world especially in tropical country with predict number 300-500 millions people infected per year. The resistence of these anti-malaria substance make new effort to find strategy against malaria. This study aim summarize potential Piper genus as source antimalarial compound and recent research callus induction piper plant obtain metabolites.The rep...
