Pharmacognostical studies on the South Indian market sample of Karkatasringi (Terminalia chebula leaf galls) were carried out along with comparative studies on Pistacia integerima which is the accepted source of Karkatasringi. The galls of T. chebula are also known as Kadukkai Poo in Siddha system.

Alpinia galanga Linn. (Willd) is an important raw drug used in large quantities in various indigenous formulations. In this paper the major diagnostic characters and the qualitative chemical and physical tests responsible for the pharmacognostic identity of the rhizomes have been reported.

Septoria centellae associated with leaf spot of Centella asiatica is reported for the first time in Korea. The fungus is described and illustrated in detail. It is also compared with related species of Septoria present on Centella and Hydrocotyle spp. with taxonomic comments. Two monoconidial isolates from Jeju and Wando were successfully cultured and have been deposited in the Korean Agricultu...

Plants operating C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways exhibit differences in leaf anatomy and photosynthetic carbon fixation biochemistry. Fully understanding this underpinning biochemical variation is requisite to identifying solutions for improving photosynthetic efficiency and growth. Here we refine assay methods for accurately measuring the carboxylase and decarboxylase activities in C3 and C4...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidaemic effect of ethanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum (M. malabathricum) Linn. leaf in alloxan induced diabetic rats. METHODS Diabetes was induced in albino rats by administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg i.p). the ethanol extracts of M. malabathricum at a dose of 150 and 300 mg/kg of body weight were administrated at a si...

Papaya Leaf Extract is known to contain alkaloid and flavonoid compounds that can inhibit the preparation of peptidoglycan in bacterial cells reduce immunity target organisms. For ease use papaya leaf extract, it formulated form a mask. This study aims formulate clay mask from ethanol extract effectiveness anti-acne for 4 weeks. The method used this an experimental carried out at AKAFARMA labor...

The leaf extract of Tamarindus indica L. (T. indica) had been reported to possess high phenolic content and showed high antioxidant activities. In this study, the effects of the antioxidant-rich leaf extract of the T. indica on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities, H2O2-induced ROS production and gene expression patterns were investigated in liver HepG2 cells. Lipid peroxidation an...

The antibacterial activities of the methanolic leaf and bark extract of Persea americana was tested in vitro on bacterial isolates namely: Streptococcus pyogenes, Proteus mirabilis, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis (NCIB 3610), Staphylococcus aureus (NCIB 8588), Escherichia coli (NCIB 86), Klebsiella pneumoniae (NCIB 418) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N...
