ABSTRACT: Methanolic crude extracts of 32 plant species belonging to 21 families collected from the west of Iran were screened for antifungal activity against three economically important phytopathogenic fungi, Phytophthora drechsleri, Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani. Bioassay of the extracts was conducted by agar diffusion method on agar plate cultures with five replications. Twe...

We coordinated biogeographical comparisons of the impacts of an exotic invasive tree in its native and non-native ranges with a congeneric comparison in the non-native range. Prosopis juliflora is taxonomically complicated and with P. pallida forms the P. juliflora complex. Thus we sampled P. juliflora in its native Venezuela, and also located two field sites in Peru, the native range of Prosop...

Anticonvulsant activity of the methanolic extract of Prosopis Cineraria (Linn) Druce stem barks was studied against maximal electro shock (MES) and Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced convulsions in mice. The extract suppressed hind limb tonic extensions (HLTE) induced by MES and also exhibited Protector Effect in PTZInduced Seizures. In conclusion, the methanolic extract of Prosopis Cineraria (Li...

The main objective of this research is to investigate the anti-biofilm and anti-bacterial activity of Sesbania grandiflora (S. grandiflora) against Staphylococcus aureus. S. grandiflora extract were prepared and analyzed with UV -Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Dynamic light scattering. Biofilm forming pathogens were identified by congo-red assay. Quantification of Ex...

Cinerarin, the anthocyanin isolated from the blue flowers of garden cineraria, S. cruentus by Yoshitama et al. [1, 2], was identified as dicaffeylated delphinidin 3,7,3'-triglucoside on the basis of the chemical evidences and its extraordinary sta­ bility in a neutral aqueous solution was also point­ ed out. Goto et al. [3] established its complete structure as malonyltricaffeyl delphinidin-tet...

Alkaloid profiles of two Egyptian Senecio species (Senecio aegyptius var. discoideus and S. desfontainei) in addition to a cultivated species (S. cineraria) were studied using capillary GLC and GLC-mass spectrometry with respect to pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Four alkaloids were identified in S. aegyptius var. discoideus, 8 in S. desfontainei and 13 in S. cineraria. Some of these alkaloids h...
