Ethnopharmacological relevance
Despite the promising effects of herbal preparations in lowering blood pressure (BP), hypertension remains a major clinical challenge in Nigeria. The BP-lowering effects of medicinal plants are due to the presence of bioactive compounds.
Aim of the study
This meta-analysis presents a precise estimate of the therapeut...
Plants of the Meliaceae family have been well documented for their ability to metabolize structurally diverse and biologically significant limonoids. To search for potential bioactive compounds from Meliaceae plants, we have investigated the limonoids and other secondary metabolites of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (AI; neem tree) and Azadirachta ind...
Objective
To evaluate the anti‐aging activity of cream containing the methanolic purple glutinous rice extract loaded in niosomes.
Methods
The in vitro biological activities of the purple glutinous rice extracted by methanol maceration were determined. The extract loaded in niosomes and the cream containing the niosomes were developed. The in vivo...
The chemical constituents of the roots, seeds, and bark of Azadirachta indica var. siamensis were investigated, leading to the isolation of six tricyclic diterpenoids and five limonoids, including two new compounds (2, 5). The structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic techniques, mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction as...
Ceylon Spinach (Basella albe) is an edible perennial vine found in tropical Asia and Africa, known as vegetables containing mucilage. Its mucilage from flowers was extracted by microwaving and precipitated with 95% ethanol. Five artificial saliva formulations composing of mucilage from Ceylon Spinach, calcium chloride (CaCl2), potassium chloride (K...
Streblus asper Lour. (Moraceae) is a medicinal plant in Asian countries including India and Thailand, possessing activities of anti-tumor, anti-allergy, anti-parasitic and anti-bacterial. In this paper, characterization, quantitation and similarity evaluation of cardiac glycosides in different parts of S. asper were investigated by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS an...
Physicochemical characteristics and in vitro anti-skin aging activity of gallic acid loaded in niosomes were investigated. Gallic acid was loaded in neutral (Brij 52/cholesterol at 7:3) and cationic CTAB niosomes (Brij 52/cholesterol/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide at 7:3:0.65). The maximum loading capacity and entrapment efficiency of gallic acid w...
The crude methanolic and hexane extracts of non-cooked, steamed and roasted from three Job's Tears cultivars were prepared and further semi-purified by liquid-liquid extraction techniques and silica gel column. The six single semi-purified extracts (F1-F6) were combined as nine cocktails (CT1, CT6, CT8, CT13, CT14, CT21, CT24, CT25 and CT31) accord...
Background
Artocarpus heterophyllus L. (Jackfruit) has been used traditionally as treatment for inflammation and cancer. The aim of this study was to isolate compounds from A. heterophyllus wood extract and evaluate their biological activities such as anti-tumor promoting effect on Epstein-Barr virus early antigen induction, melanogenesis inhibitor...
The In vivo anti-cancer activity and stability of liposomes encapsulated with semi-purified Job’s tear (Coix lacryma-jobi Linn.) extracts (S5L) prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid technique on human colon adenocarcinoma (HT29) xenografted mice were investigated. For the stability and physicochemical characteristics, S5L showed the high s...
Ethonopharmacological relevances:
Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi Linn.) is commonly used as an herbal medicine. The low incidence of cancer has been observed in the area of China where regularly consume Job's tears. The effects of preparation methods of Job's tears on anti-cancer activities were investigated. Potent in vitro anti-proliferative, ap...
This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effect of trans-activator of transcription (Tat) and niosomes for the improvement of hypoglycemic activity of orally delivered human insulin. The elastic anionic niosomes composing of Tween 61/cholesterol/dicetyl phosphate/sodium cholate at 1:1:0.05:0.02 molar ratio loaded with insulin-Tat mixture (1:...
Thai/Lanna medicinal plant recipes have been used for the treatment of several diseases including liver cancer. In this study, methanolic extracts (MEs) of 23 plants were tested for antiproliferative activity on human hepatoma cell line (Hep G2) by the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Nine MEs with potent antiproliferative activity (IC50 < 100 µg/mL)...
Hypertension is an important public health issue in both developed and developing countries due to its high incidence and morbidity. This has motivated researchers especially in developing countries to search for strategies for the treatment using different plant parts. The use of the aqueous decoction of the leaves of Peristrophe bicalyculata in t...
Context: Thai/Lanna medicinal plant recipes have been used for the treatment of several diseases including oral and cervical cancers.
Objective: To investigate anti-proliferative activity on human cervical (HeLa) and oral (KB) cancer cell lines of medicinal plants selected from Thai/Lanna medicinal plant recipe database “MANOSROI III”.
Materials an...
Context:
Cleistocalyx nervosum (DC.) Kosterm. var. paniala (Roxb.) J. Parn. & Chantaran. (Myrtaceae) or Ma Kiang contains high amounts of phenolic compounds. Antioxidant activity of its fruit and seed has been investigated. However, limited available information concerning the biological activities of its leaves has been reported.
