peregrina/neoplasms

Several animal lectins, such as Sarcophaga peregrina agglutinin, Limulus polyhemus agglutinin, Helix pomatia agglutinin and Helix aspersa agglutinin, were tested for induction of tumor lysis mediated by macrophages. Among them, only S. peregrina agglutinin purified from the hemolymph of S. peregrina

Water-soluble polysaccharides were isolated from Colpomenia peregrina to determine their chemical characteristics and immunomodulatory properties. High extraction yields were obtained for CP1 (17.6%) and CP2 (5.2%) polysaccharides. Polysaccharides were mainly consisted of neutral sugars

Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coulter, a native plant from Canada used in traditional medicine against cancer, was extracted by hydrodistillation. Two fractions were collected, one over 0-30 min and one over 30-60 min, to assess the influence of time of hydrodistillation on the composition of essential

The effect of Sarcophaga lectin on mouse macrophage-like cell line J774.1 was studied. It was found that this lectin induced significant morphological changes and stimulated glucose consumption of J774.1 cells. A similar effect was observed when bacterial lipopolysaccharide was added to the culture

Moringa is a sole genus of Moringaceae family with 13 species distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical regions. Among them, Moringa peregrina is one of the species which has wide range of traditional, nutritional, industrial, and medicinal values. The plant parts are used in folk medicine for

Moringa grows in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The genus Moringa belongs to family Moringaceae. It is found to possess various medicinal uses including hypoglycemic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant activities. In this study, we investigated

BACKGROUND Moringa peregrina is a wild plant that grown in the eastern desert mountains in Egypt. Although, this plant is native to Egypt, no details studies were traced on its chemical composition and biological activity. METHODS The different fractions of the ethanolic extract of the dried aerial
