Oxidative stress is incriminated in many human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, ischemia, rheumatoid arthritis, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. The extracts from plants could be used to discovering the new antioxidant product. In the aim to evaluate the antioxidant activity of fractions of Uvaria comperei stem extract, the fractions of the stem extract obtained by vacuum chromatography from Uvaria comperei were screened for their in vitro antioxidant properties. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and phytochemical screening were also determined. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and ORAC assays, whereas total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined using folin-ciocalteu method and aluminum chloride assay, respectively. The phytochemical constituents were assessed using standard methods. In the DPPH scavenging activity assay, the EC50 values of 6.03 µg/Ml to > 2000 µg/mL were obtained from the fractions. The fraction F16 showed the strongest scavenging activity with EC50 of 6.03 µg/mL near to the EC50 value of catechin (3.57 µg/mL). All the fractions presented the antioxidant activity with ORAC assay; however, the...

Cancer is a group of diseases that involves abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade other parts of the body. Patients suffering from cancer have a significantly lower intake of a healthy diet. According to recent studies, by increasing the immune system, it helps to improve or prevent cancer. Using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides contaminate our food and environment, but the green revolution made India independent. Being obese or overweight may increase cancer risk and growth, but a healthy diet and exercise are enough to cure obesity. Nature has been provided many essential sources that are being utilized in prevention as well as treatment of cancer. Alcohol activates the cellular changes that make tumor cells spread, also tobacco is the leading cause of cancer, but by Rehabs and medication, risk of cancer can be reduced. Cancer can be medicated by various herbal medicines like turmeric, green tea,...

Plants are a great source of medicines, which are useful in the treatment of various diseases. Today sophisticated modern research tools for evaluation of the plant drugs are available, but the microscopical evaluation method is one of the simplest and cheapest methods to start with for establishing the correct identity of the source materials. Ximenia americana of family Oleaceae have great medicinal value in Indian medicine. It is used in of medicine as febrifuge, diarrhea, jaundice, laxatives, mouthwashes and hepatoprotective. Ximenia americana Linn. leaves showed epidermis of the midrib is single layered and the epidermal cells are small, cubical, thick-walled, with the prominent cuticl presence of paracytic stomata, cyclocytic stomata Fig. 5 and absence of trichomes, under the polarized microscope, calcium oxalate appeared as druses and rosette type. In present study to evaluate microscopical characters of Ximenia americana leaf is carried out to lay down the standard which could be useful in future experimental...

Piplartine is an amide obtained from Piper tuberculatum, which is promising in antiparasitic tests. Therefore, it has been used as the basis for the synthesis of new molecules. This study was designed to analyze the immunomodulatory effect of piplartine (A) and its derivative (B), in-vitro, on macrophages infected with Leihmania amazonensis, as well as the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), nitric oxide (NO) and lipid bodies. Were evaluated by staining with giemsa and counting the cells under optical microscopy; labeling with tetramethyl benzidine and peroxidase type II; Greiss reagent and oil red, respectively, with amides A and B concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 64 μg/mL. Modulation of the immune system was observed. There was a decrease in the infection index at the highest concentration (64 μg/mL) for A and B in infected macrophages. Amide A (4 μg/mL) reduced the H2O2 production of infected macrophages by 99.3% compared to control. Cultures treated with A and B increases the NO production at 16 μg/mL and 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. The production of...
