Background: Recently, we have highlighted the immunomodulatory activity of the standardized extracts of Phyllanthus amarus and P. urinaria. The present study was carried out to correlate between the prevalent constituents of the herbs and their inhibitory effects on phagocytic activity of human neutrophils. Methods: The compounds, gallic acid, ellagic acid, corilagin, geraniin, phyllanthin and ...

The present study was aimed at the development of a somoclonal variant and isozyme marker for Phyllanthus amarus Schum & Thonn using inter-nodal segments and the enzyme peroxidase. Maximum callus proliferation was obtained on Murashige and Skoog’s medium supplemented (MS) with 1.0 mg/l of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Three weeks-old pale yellowish white semi-friable callus was used for organ...

Anti inflammatory potential of aerial parts of Phyllanthus longiflorus was investigated in the present study using acute and chronic inflammatory models. Carrageenan, dextran and formalin were used as an edematogenic agent to induce hind paw edema in rats and the mean increase in paw volume were measured using plethysmometer. Results showed that methanol extract of Phyllanthus longiflorus at th...

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in burn and immune-compromised patients. In recent studies, researchers have drawn their attention towards ecofriendly synthesis of nanoparticles and their activity against multidrug resistant microbes. In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous extract of Phyllanthus amarus. The syn...

Allelopathy is a concept that applied in weed management to minimize extensively the reliance on herbicide agriculture. The allelopathic potential of Acalypha wilkesiana, Centrosema pubescens and Phyllanthus amarus Amaranthus cruentus Corchorus olitorius were investigated. Different concentrations leaf aqueous extracts A. C. P. determine their effect under laboratory conditions. profiling phyto...
