The in vitro antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties of bark extracts of Anadenanthera macrocarpa Brenan (Fabaceae), Astronium urundeuva Engl. (Anacardiaceae), Mimosa verrucosa Benth. (Fabaceae) and Sideroxylon obtusifolium T.D. Penn. (Sapotaceae), four trees used as anti-inflammatory
The indigenous medicinal plant species, Bfidelia micrantha and Sideyoxylon ineime (both known as 'uMhlalamagwababa' in isiZulu), are used interchangeably by traditional healers in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, to treat a variety of ailments due to morphological similarities. In this study, a
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant potential of methanol extract and its derived fractions (hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol, and aqueous) of fruits of Monotheca buxifolia (Falc.) Dc., a locally used fruit in Pakistan.
METHODS
Dried powder of the fruit of M. buxifolia
Owing to its pharmacological versatility, the current study focuses the evaluation of Monotheca buxifolia (M. buxifolia) bark crude extract and its fractions for phytochemical and pharmacological analysis. Phytochemical investigation of bark extract was carried out through GC-MS, LC-MS and FT-IR.
Wound healing involves the interaction of blood cells, proteins, proteases, growth factors, and extracellular matrix components. Inflammation is one of the first events occurring during this process. Previously, we showed that the N-Methyl-(2S,4R)-trans-4-Hydroxy-L-Proline (NMP) from Sideroxylon
Experimental based evidence suggests that most of the medicinal plants possess a wide-ranging pharmacological and biological activity that may possibly protect tissues against O2-induced damages. The objectives of the current study are: first, to investigate the effects of Monotheca
BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress is believed to be a root cause of various degenerative and fibrotic disorders. Dietary foods enrich in antioxidants can cure or curtail the progression of oxidative stress induced disorders. Fruit of Monotheca buxifolia is used locally for digestive and urinary tract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the stem bark of Sideroxylon inerme L. and its compounds for tyrosinase-inhibition activity and to evaluate the mechanism involved of the most potent compounds in tyrosinase inhibition.
METHODS
Three different extracts (acetone, methanol and dichloromethane) of Sideroxylon
