This research aims to investigate the hypoglycemic activity of methanolic extract of Tectona grandis root in alloxan induced diabetic albino rats. A comparison was made between the action of Tectona grandis methanolic extract and a known antidiabetic drug glibenclamide (0.5mg/kg p.o).The methanolic extract of Tectona grandis linn. root was administered orally at different doses to normal rats. ...

conclusions the results of this study reveal that the m. communis extract and methanolic extract of chamomile have a high antibacterial effect on regular and imp-producing p. aeruginosa strains; so, these extracts can be suitable alternatives for less-effective antibiotics, which are commonly used. materials and methods this cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on burn patients hospi...

the present study was conducted to determine the antioxidant and antifungal effects ofmethanol extract from aerial part of verbascum speciosum. the total phenolic andflavonoid content and the antioxidant activity of the plant extract were determined byusing the folin-ciocalteau and the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) free radicalscavenging assays. the total phenols and flavonoid content o...

Neuroleptic activity of methanolic extract of Benincasa hispida was assessed using apomorphine induced cage climbing model and catalepsy test in mice. Methanolic extract showed significant reduction in apomorphine induced cage climbing activity at 600 mg/kg and catalepsy in mice .The phytochemical analysis of methanolic extract showed presence of phenolic compounds and triterpene saponins, whic...

The crude methanolic extract of aerial parts of Euphorbia milli was tested for its antinociceptive property. The antinociceptive effect was evaluated usin chemical (acetic acid) induced pain paradigm. The acetic acid induced writhing was significantly attenuated by the crude methanolic extract. The mean number of writhing reduction of the crude methanolic extract was 12.34, 32.54 and 71.44 % at...
