a systematic study on the electrochemical behavior of the s-derivatives of 2-amino cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (acda) has been carried out in aqueous ethanolic solutions by means of polarography, coulometry and voltammetry. all the compounds studied exhibited a well defined anodic wave corresponding to a diffusion controlled process. controlled potential coulometry gave n=1 per mole fo...

Vitis vinifera L.is a traditional Asian herb widely used for different health problems. In the present research, the ethanolic and the aqueous extracts of Vitis vinifera L. leaves collected from shrub, grown in Tunisia, were prepared and evaluated for the antileishmanial activity against Leishmani ainfantum promastigotes. The inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) was determined and the results sho...

INTRODUCTION Because of resistance and side effects to common antifungal drugs activity, the research on herbal substances with antifungal activity is frequent. Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora) is a member of Verbenaceae family. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-candida activities of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the lemon verbena leaves and compare them with nystatin and...

Abtract: The ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the fruits of Tetrapleura tetraptera (Fabiaceae) and seeds of Delonix regia (Bojer ex Hook.) Raf (Fabiaceae) and Raphia vinifera L. (Arecaceae) were tested on the second instar larvae of Anopheles gambiae (L) at varying concentrations. With percentage mortality, T. tetraptera (59.17%) in ethanol was the most effective followed by D. regia (42.78%) ...

the aim of this paper was to investigate the antibacterial potential of kelussia odoratissima mozff extract against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. karafs-ekoohi with the scientific name of kelussia odoratissima is an iranian endemic edible plant in the middle region of iran with enormous use as food, spice and medicinal herb . the antibacterial effect of the extracts was investigated...

The effects of aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of Mentha Longifolia on morphine dependence were examined in mice. Dependence was induced using subcutaneous injections of morphine daily for 3 days. On day 4, the last dose of morphine was injected 2 h perior the intraperitoneal injection of naloxone. The number of episods of jumping during 30 minutes after injection of naloxane was considered...

To understand the impacts of different processing methods on the composition and effects of the herb Saussurea laniceps (SL), the present study report the first comparison of the chemical constituents of aqueous and ethanolic SL extracts using chromatographic analysis, and to compare their pharmacological effects in a mouse anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive model and an in vitro anti-oxidant ...

The aqueous and ethanolic extract of Myrsine africana fruits was evaluated for their anthelmintic activity against tape, hook, nodular and earthworms. The ethanolic extract was found to possess considerable lethal action against tape worms but it was not significant against the other helminths, Similarly ethereal, alcoholic and aqueous extracts of the fruits were tested for their purgative acti...

In vitro studies were carried out to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Luffa acutangula against human neuronal glioblastoma cells (U343) and human lung cancer cells (A549). Screening of these extracts was done using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, MTT assay and SRB assay. The results showed the significant decrease of the viability of the cells in a ...
