OBJECTIVE To investigate the larvicidal and ovicidal activities of acetone, benzene, hexane and methanol leaf extracts of Basella rubra and Cleome viscosa against dengue vector, Aedes aegypti. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty five early third instar larvae of Aedes aegypti were exposed to various concentrations and were assayed in the laboratory by using the protocol of WHO 2005. The 24h LC50 val...

Dietary cholesterol is known to be one of the main risk factors that accelerate oxidation process leading to hypercholesterolemia and attendant cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study, carried out on adult male Wistar rats, was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of supplementation with aqueous of Cleome arabica leaf extract on hypercholesterolemia. After 3 months of treatment, animal...

A new diacetyl triterpene lactone, drosericarpone (2), was isolated from the hexane extract of the herb Cleome droserifolia, together with buchariol (1, a sesquiterpene oxide, isolated for the first time from Cleome species) and stigmasterol glucoside (3). The structures of 1-3 were identified by spectroscopic means.

The present study evaluates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and in vitro antioxidant activities of two species of Cleome, C. viscosa and C. burmanni. The antioxidant potential of the methanol extracts of species of Cleome was tested using different assays such as FRAP, DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, superoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The extracts gave positive results for all ...

Department of Botany, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (A.P) 530003, India. ABSTRACT The present investigation is aimed to carryout in vitro antibacterial activities of the methanol and aqueous extracts of Cleome viscosa against seven bacterial species. To evaluate antibacterial activity, the agar well diffusion assay was performed. Methanol extract was showed more antibacterial activity than a...

The analysis of the Arabidopsis genome revealed evidence of three ancient polyploidy events in the evolution of the Brassicaceae, but the exact phylogenetic placement of these events is still not resolved. The most recent event is called the At-alpha (alpha) or 3R, the intermediate event is referred to as the At-beta (beta) or 2R, and the oldest is the At-gamma (gamma) or 1R. It has recently be...

The macroscopic characters of the whole plant, physical constant values, extractive values, behavior on treatment with different chemical reagents, fluorescence characters under ultra violet light after treatment with different reagents of the powered entire plant of Cleome viscose Linn.(Capparidaceae) were studied to fix some pharmacognostical parameters. Preliminary phytochemical screening on...
