The leaves of Ziziphus xylopyrus, (Retz) Willd. was collected dried, powdered and subjected for extraction. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, steroids and sterol, glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, triterpenoid and showed the absence of amino acids, proteins and acidic compounds in ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaf of ziziphus xylopyrus, (Retz) Willd. Fractions were prepared according to polarity. TLC was carried out....
The present study was aimed at assessing the in-vitro antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of root bark of Caesalpinia crista by the disc diffusion methods. The ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia crista showed moderate percentage amount of dose dependent manner compared to standard antimicrobial drug. Our data provide evidence that the crude ethanolic extract of root bark of Caesalpinia crista is potential source of natural antimicrobial and this justified its uses in folkloric medicines. The tested organisms were streptococcus mutans, staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, klebsiella....
The present study was aimed at assessing the in-vitro anti-oxidant activity of ethanolic extract of the stem bark of Phyllanthus embelica by various methods namely Total Reducing power and 1,1-diphenyl 2 picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. The alcoholic extract of Phyllanthus embelica showed significant percentage amount of inhibition in dose dependent manner compared to standard antioxidant ascorbic acid. Our data provide evidence that the crude ethanolic extract of stem bark of Phyllanthus embelica is a potential source of natural antioxidant and this justified its uses in folkloric medicines....
Fatigue is a symptom of metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome (MS), which is currently increasing in the world. There is no specific medication for fatigue, but in many cases, such as in metabolic disorders, it can be relieved by treating the underlying causes. Oxidative stress and inflammation are associated with fatigue and MS. Other mechanisms in MS are also involved in causing fatigue. This study aimed to investigate the role of selected medicinal plants from Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) in improving fatigue in patients with MS. ITM is one of the most ancient systems of medicine. In this article, we first explained fatigue, its types and treatment from the perspective of ITM and then introduced a list of medicinal plants used in ITM to treat fatigue. Next, we reviewed the biological effects of these plants effective in treating the manifestations of MS based on a search of electronic databases. They have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activities. Among them, Matricaria chamomilla L., Laurus nobilis L., Origanummajorana L., Vitex agnus-castus L., Lawsonia inermis L., Anethum graveolens L. and Pistacia terebinthus L. improve the lipid profile and reduce dyslipidemia. Also, the antihypertensive effects of M. chamomilla, L. nobilis and O. majorana have been proven. These plants prevent fatigue and disease progression by countering oxidative stress and inflammation and affecting the properties of MS....
