objective: tabernaemontana divaricata (td) from apocynaceae family offers the traditional folklore medicinal benefits such as an anti-epileptic, anti-mania, brain tonic, and anti-oxidant. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of ethanolic extract of td leaves on burying behavior in mice. materials and methods:mice were treated with oral administration (p.o.) of ethanolic extra...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the physical, chemical and biological effects compost made from food waste unshredded dry leaves evaluate performance on growth dwarf crape jasmine (dwarf Tabernaemontana divaricate). Food with a ratio 3:1 have been added passive aeration-static bioreactor. composting was carried out for 40 days. chemical, morphological changes that occurred du...

There are at least three hypotheses to account for the abundance of divaricating shrubs in New Zealand: 1) Ratites in the form of 11 species of moa, led to divarication for browse protection (Greenwood and Atkinson, 1977); 2) Divarication evolved as a microclimatic shield (McGlone and Webb, 1981); 3) Divarication evolved to aid leaves in light harvesting (Kelly, 1994). In Patagonia before human...

In vitro diagnostic kits use immune chromatographic assay with gold nanoparticle conjugated antigen / antibody coated in the kit that specifically detects of pathogen or to a blood serum tested. Such are available for wide variety diseases and different could antigens targeted. this research article I present novel finding when latex Calotropis gigantea Thevetia peruviana is used as sample targ...

Vegetative but not reproductive stage of Saposhnikovia divaricate (Turxz.) schischk possesses pharmacological activities. However, our recent study showed that reproductive S. divaricate supplemented with polysaccharide showed evidently elevated pharmacological activities and increased cimifugin content in rat serum. The aims of present study were to assess the influence of polysaccharides on t...

Tabernaemontaneae (Rauvolfioideae, Apocynaceae) are small trees with mainly animal-dispersed fleshy fruits and arillate seeds represented in the tropics of Africa, Asia, the Pacific and America. The tribe is characterized by complex indole alkaloids, thus its species play a prominent role in traditional medicine. Taxonomically, the Tabernaemontaneae have a convoluted history fraught with conten...

Seven new indole alkaloids (1-7) comprising four vobasine, two tacaman, and one corynanthe-tryptamine bisindole alkaloid were isolated from the stem-bark extract of a Malayan Tabernaemontana. Two of the new vobasine alkaloids (1, 3), as well as 16-epivobasine (15) and 16-epivobasenal (17), showed appreciable cytotoxicity toward KB cells (IC50 ca. 5 μg/mL). The structure of the known Tabernaemon...
