numerous studies have been focused on natural anticarcinogenic agents. many antioxidants have been identified as anticarcinogens. antimutagens have also been proposed as cancer chemopreventive agents. the use of natural products as anticancer has a long history that began with traditional medicine. the aim of this study was to evaluate cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity of twenty-three plant...

the present study was intended to standardize the protocol for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps) using aqueous extract of dictyota bartayresiana j.v. lamouroux and evaluate cytotoxic potentials using brine shrimp bio-assay activity and trypan blue dye exclusion method. the reduction of pure ag+ ions was monitored by measuring the uv-vis spectrum of the solution at 200-900 nm and the...

General toxicity, antiproliferative, antibacterial and antioxidant activities of Caulerpa peltata J.V.Lamouroux (Caulerpaceae) collected from Oman Sea were investigated. Dried, ground alga was Soxhlet-extracted with hexane, dichloromethane and methanol successively. The methanol extract was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) fractionation on silica gel using a step gradient of diff...

Chrozophora senegalensis is a medicinal plant with widespread use in Northern Nigeria by the local populace for treatment of ailments and diseases such as diarrhea, malaria dysentery. The study evaluated Cytotoxicity C. crude methanol extract using brine shrimp lethality test. sample was air dried at room temperature, pulverized to powder subjected maceration methanol. marc removed double filtr...

Semi-terrestrial brachyuran sesarmid crabs are the most diverse and important faunal components of mangrove forest temperate coastal communities worldwide. To establish a stable larval rearing method for understanding their developmental processes including molecular mechanisms molting metamorphosis, we examined effects diet on survival growth three crabs, Chiromantes haematocheir, Orisarma int...
