Research on natural products is crucial to the hunt for novel drugs to treat human diseases. Over time, there has been evidence and documentation of the usage of these medicinal plants as a source of physiologically active compounds with therapeutic potential for the treatment of a wide range of illnesses. Although the plant genus Lonchocarpus (Fab...

Approximately 80% of the world's population relies on traditional plants to produce and synthesize contemporary medications. In the past, the production of plants as sources of pharmaceuticals or medicines for wound healing and treatment was based on superstition and experience that was passed down from one generation to the next. The majority of t...

Investigating the antibacterial test of essential oil derived from Eucalyptus globulusleaves against clinically significant microbial strains is the goal of this investigation. Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli are the isolates of Gram-negative bacteria, whereas Staphylococcus aureusis an isolate of Gram-positive bac...

The aim of this research is to isolate and identify bacteria associated with the non-alcoholic drinks samples.The physiochemical properties such as the pH, moisture, fat and protein were all determined using standard methods. The total bacteria count was obtained using serial dilution and pour plate method. Streak plate method was employed to ob...

Cymbopogon citratus, belongs to Gramineae family. This study used a microwave-assisted hydro-distillation process to extract lemongrass essential oil and examined its antimicrobial qualities. Physical characteristics of the essential oils included a yellow color, a yield percentage of 4.67%, solubility in trichloromethane, and a lemony aroma. The d...

For a number of uses, including in energy harvesting, catalysis, medical detection and treatment, nanoparticles have grown in significance and popularity. To maximize the performance of nanoparticles for specific applications, a range of compositions, sizes, and surface characteristics must be produced. A green chemistry technique, called pulsed la...

This study investigated the antimicrobial properties of the root of Calotropis procera. The root was subjected to cold maceration for 48 hours using 1.5 liters of ethyl acetate, and the resulting extract was concentrated via rotary evaporation. The antimicrobial activity of the ethyl acetate extract was assessed against two bacterial species (Esche...

The environment and living things are significantly harmed by commercial pesticides. It is crucial to seek out new, eco-friendly alternatives to these synthetic pesticides that are more efficient and cost-effective. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ethyl acetate root extract from Calotropis procera in killing mosquito larvae. Cold ma...

The majority of recorded deaths in tropical nations are attributed to infectious diseases, which are becoming more common as germs become more resistant to antibiotics. Therefore, the development of more practical and potent therapeutic antibacterial agents as well as other active natural compounds from medicinal plants like Calotropis procera is n...

This research is carried out to provide valuable information for individuals that would want to properly modify their nutrient intake.
