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,...

Sariska Tiger Reserve, one of the 42 Tiger Reserves of India, is located near the civil district of Alwar in Rajasthan. The Sariska Tiger Reserve in Aravallis has its own importance and specific characteristics with unique biodiversity. The forest of Sariska Tiger Reserve has a great diversity of flora. This paper gives an account of antidiabetic medicinal plants found in Sariska Tiger Reserve, along with their local name, family, habit, and medicinal uses. Due to lack of awareness, unsustainable research utilization, and encroachments on these groups of the plant in this area, people of this region are unaware of the wealth of this heritage, and several persistent medicinal plant species are on the verge of extinction. The present paper highlights useful ethnobotanical information about the uses of these plants by the tribal of Rajasthan as food, fodder, medicine (fever, diarrhea, diuretic, skin-problems, diabetes, hypertension, jaundice, etc.) timber, fire-wood, tannin, dye, oil, fiber, alcohol, gum, resin,...

Information from ethnomedicine suggests that Diospyros mespiliformis possesses antiulcer properties. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate its gastroprotective activity. The gastroprotective activity of the leaves aqueous extract of D. mespiliformis was evaluated by three experimental models of gastric ulcers in mice, namely: HCl/ethanol, HCl/ethanol with indomethacin pre-treatment and indomethacin (p. o). Ulcerated surface, ulcer index, and mucus mass were recorded. A qualitative phytochemical analysis of the extract was carried out. The administration of D. mespiliformis extract prevented the formation of gastric lesions against the necrotizing agents. For HCl/ethanol induction, the extract at 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg dose-dependently inhibited ulcer formation of 28.36, 29.19 and 35.82%, respectively. Indomethacin pre-treatment reduced the preventive effect of the extract to 19.69 and 28.24% at 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. As for indomethacin induction, the extract at 200 mg/kg showed the most important ulcer inhibition (88.13%). For all three induction models, a significant increase in mucus secretion between 44.75 and 121.34% was observed. D. mespiliformis could prevent the formation of...
