In the present study, leaves of Ocimum sanctum, Azadirachta indica and Phyllanthus amarus were collected and the collected leaves were shade dried and powdered by hand crushing. The preparations of different leaves extract was done through modified method. Three different solvents viz., methanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate were used to study the antimicrobial activity of herbal plants. Disc d...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of aqueous extracts of Ocimum sanctum L. leaves on blood glucose, serum lipid profile and anti-oxidative activity to protect various risk organs in DM rats. Ocimum sanctum L. leaves were extracted using water, then the total phenolic content was determined. Three groups of male Wistar rats were used including normal control rats, DM rats...

The aqueous and successive extracts of the fruit pulp of Emblica officinalis and fresh leaves and stems of Ocimum sanctum were prepared and evaluated for antimicrobial activity. The successive extracts such as petroleum ether,chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol were prepared by successive solvent extraction method and aqueous extract by maceration process and screened for antimicrobial activ...

The medicinal plants and herbs have been used for many years in the treatment of various diseases in animals and human beings. Now-a-days, utilization of these medicinal plants is increasing. These are used in animal feed as the growth promoters. Due to prohibition of most of the antimicrobial growth promoters in animal feed because of their residual effects, plant extracts are becoming more po...

The members of genus Ocimum find wide application in traditional medicine. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the probable mechanisms of antinociceptive action of chloroform/ethanol extracts of Ocimum masaiense roots. The extract was prepared by soxhlet extraction. The mechanism of action experiments involved administration of various blockers along with the extract in the formalin te...

The present study was aimed to the pharmacological screening some traditional Indian medicinal plants for its anti-inflammatory activity. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of leaves of Moringa oleifera and Ocimum gratissimum were taken and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory potential using carrageenan induced hind paw edema method. The methanolic and aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum ...

This study sought to carry out a screening of the polyphenols from the aerial parts of four samples of Ocimum basilicum. HPLC-MS method was used to investigate the presence of phenolic compounds in the studied samples; caftaric, cafeic, chlorogenic, p-coumaric acids and rutin were identified. The total polyphenolic content was determined by using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, the flavonoid and t...
