the presence of tribolium castaneum (herbst) in a stored food results in contamination and substantial economic damage due to loss of the products and a decrease in nutritional value. this study was conducted to determine the pesticidal and pest repellent activities of roots of laportea crenulata gaud. against t. castaneum. pesticidal activity was determined using surface film method, whereas, ...

This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of Kaempferia galanga (KG) using an activity-guided approach. KG rhizomes were serially extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water. These extracts (2 g/kg each) were tested for their ability to inhibit carrageenan-induced rat paw edema. The chloroform extract was found to exert the highest inhibition (42.9%) compared to contr...

BACKGROUND The importance of Rumex genus and the renowned ethnopharmacological and biological potentials of Rumex hastatus is evident from the previous reports. Recently the R. hastatus has been evaluated for anticancer potential against HepG2, MCF7 or LNCaP cell lines with considerable cytotoxicity. We also reported the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic potentials of R. hastatus. The current stud...

The dermatophytes are filamentous fungi that cause cutaneous fungal infections because they use keratin as a nutrient source. For this study the antidermatophyte activity of the extracts and derivates from leaves of Piper regnellii was analyzed. From the dichloromethane extract (EBD) neolignans such as eupomatenoid-3 and eupomatenoid-5 were obtained, and it was submitted to fractionation to rem...

aqueous (hydrophilic) and chloroform (lipophilic) extracts of nine medicinal plants currently used in traditional medicine, in egypt, to treat some gastrointestinal tract (git) disorders were tested for their gastro-protective effect against the incidence of peptic ulcer. indomethacin-induced ulcer in a rat model was used for this testing. mentha microphylla, brassica oleracea capitata (cabbage...
