kigelia/neoplasms

Studies suggest that the traditional applications of Kigelia pinnata leaves have beneficial effects against oxidative stress-mediated diseases and cancers. The pulverized dried leaves of K. pinnata were extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol sequentially, and the crude extracts were

Crude dichloromethane extracts of Kigelia pinnata stem bark and fruit showed cytotoxic activity in vitro against cultured melanoma and other cancer cell lines using the Sulphorhodamine B assay, which was used for bioassay-guided fractionation. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) examination of the most

Background and objectives: Kigelia africana is a medicinal plant growing naturally in many parts of Africa. In Kenya, a water concoction of the plant is used to treat breast and prostate cancers. Laboratory data on its anti-cancer

Kigelia africana has been used in the management of human ailments since time immemorial. Ethnobotanists have documented the traditional uses of K. africana, which include treatment of skin disorders, cancer and gynecological complaints, among others. This has interested scientists,

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate analgesic and cytotoxic activity of Acorus calamus L., Kigelia pinnata L., Mangifera indica L., Tabernaemontana divaricata L. extracts by using acetic acid-induced writhing method in mice and brine shrimp lethality assay. METHODS The ethanolic extracts

A study of the components of the fruits of Kigelia pinnata was undertaken to identify compounds with potential growth inhibitory activity against human melanoma cells, since extracts from the fruits of this plant have been described in traditional medicine to have application in the treatment of

Kigelia africana plant is widely used as an herbal remedy in preventing the onset and the treatment of cancer-related infections. With the surge in the research interest of the plant, the specific chemical compound or metabolite that confer its anticancer properties has not been adequately

Rapid evaporative-ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) coupled with an electroknife as a sampling device was recently employed in many application fields to obtain a rapid characterization of different samples without any need for extraction or cleanup procedures. In the present research, REIMS was

BACKGROUND For years, natural products from microbes have been used as drugs. Endophytes are the most important fungi that produce many novel metabolites for potential use in pharmacology and agriculture. OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to explore new endophytes for novel natural
