Flavonoids which were reported as having many pharmacological activities, antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxic, chemoprevention activities and they possess strong antiproliferative effects related to inhibition of cell cycle progression and apoptosis induction. On the basis of this Thespesia populnea (L.) Sol. Ex Correa (Family-Malvaceae) was selected and it is having the major composition of ...

Thespesia populnea and Tridax procumbens are medicinally important plant species used to treat different diseases. The present work is aimed to screen these medicinal plants for phytochemical studies. Leaf powder of these plants were dissolved in different solvents and screened for secondary metabolites. Leaves of Thespesia populnea revealed that the presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroids, g...

Bioassay guided purification of methanolic extract of the bark of the plant, Thespesia populnea yielded a naphthalene derivative, (+)-gossypol (1). The structure of compound, (+)-gossypol has been established based on its physical and spectral data (UV, IR, H & C NMR and Mass). The compound has been shown moderate elastase inhibition activity when compared with control compound, ursolic acid.

Antimicrobial activities were detected in the 80% ethanolic extract of Achyranthes aspera, Ficus glomerata, Leucas aspera, Thespesia populnea and Zizyphus jujube against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and salmonella typhi. The treatments resulted in the formation of various inhibitory zones, in contrast to the control where no inhibitory zone was observed.

BACKGROUND A decoction composed of Adenanthera pavonina L. and Thespesia populnea L. is currently being used in the treatment of cancer patients. METHODS Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) release, (3-(4, 5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) MTT, and Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays were carried out to study cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative activity against the HEp-2 cells, 24 h...

The natural dyes separated from plants are of gaining interest as substitutes for synthetic dyes in food and cosmetics. Thespesia populnea (T. populnea) is widely grown plant and used in the treatment of various diseases. This study was aimed to separate natural dye from T. populnea bark and analysis of its dyeing property on different fabrics. In this investigation pharmacognostic study was ca...

Present study was conducted to evaluate the fungicidal property of methanolic extracts of some indigenous plants of Karachi such as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (leaves), Thespesia populnea (leaves, stem and fruit), Withania somnifera (leaves and stem), Solanum surattense (shoot) and Melia azedarach (fruit) against common soil-borne phytopathogens viz., Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and...

AIM This study aimed to document the traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and antimicrobial validation of Thespesia populnea used by Yanadi tribe of Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was mainly focused on documentation of medicinal plants used by Yanadi tribe to treat different diseases with a standard questionnaire. These plants were cross-checked...

In this research work, activated carbon prepared locally from Thespesia Populnea bark(TPC) was examined for the removal of cobalt (II) from aqueous solution. The main parameters, like effect of adsorbent dosage, Co (II) concentrations, effect of contact time and effect of pH was studied in batch experiments. The experimental results were analyzed by using Langmuir, Freundlich, adsorption isothe...
