Most of its therapeutic properties are due to the specific oil and water soluble organosulfur compounds present. There are a variety of antioxidants in garlic which protects against disease causing oxidative damage. The antioxidant phytochemicals include terpenoids, flavnoids and phenols. Garlic extract provides hepatoprotection by lowering the alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and albumin level. They also inhibit lipid peroxidation in the liver.
Parthenium treated with HCl noticed for the removal of Ni and dye absorbing efficiency from industrial wastes. Although it is depend upon the pH for example Nickel removal was significant at pH 5.0 and its dye absorbing capability can replace the commercially availble adsorbents.heavy metals which can experimentally absorbed by Parthenium are Ni,Cd,Cu,Coand Zn etc. Activated carbon prepared from Parthenium showed cresol (a phenol derivative) adsorbing ability comparable to commercial grade activated carbon (Patel, 2011). As, heavy metals and dyes have caricinogenic properties these are harmfull for human health so their removal is necessary. Parthenium can be a better, eco-friendly and cheaper resource od dye and heavy metal absorbent.
The main components are linalool, linalyl acetate, terpinen-4-ol, acetate lavandulol, ocimene, and cineole. Lavender essential oil has good antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and a significant positive effect on the digestive and nervous systems. Lavender extract prevents dementia and may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, while lavender hydrolate is recommended for the treatment of skin problems and burns. 2.4 Definition and localization of essential oils : Essential oils also known as ethereal oils, since the oils evaporate when subjected to
Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (liquorice), considered a troublesome perennial weed, has been increasingly appreciated as an important medicinal plant. Particularly, its rhizomes and roots have been widely used in traditional medicine due to their renowned therapeutic properties, throughout the centuries. However, irrational harvesting of wild liquorice plants has rendered the cultivation of the species of major importance. In this review, all the aspects related with its cultivation practices and chemical composition of the species are presented. Particular interest is given on glycyrrhizin, a triterpenoid saponin which is the most abundant bioactive compound present in cultivated liquorice roots and is responsible for most of the therapeutic and
Each component that made up the oral suspension has its own role or function. Posaconazole is the active ingredient in the oral suspension which will interact with its target whereas polysorbate 80 acts as surfactant and non-ionic wetting agent which lowers the surface tension of the liquid thus allowing the drug particle to be evenly dispersed. (4) Simeticone is used as antifoaming agent which reduce the formation of foams during reconstitution and manufacturing process. Simethicone lowers the surface tension of foams and form bigger foams thus will makes the trapped air in the foams to escape easily. (PE) Sodium benzoate has the antimicrobial properties and is used in the oral formulation as preservative.
2. Pharmacological activities Tecoma stans has more screened scientifically cured various pharmacological activities like anti-oxidant activity, [26] Antimicrobial Activities,[27] anti-fungal activity, [28] anticancer activity,[29] Antihyperlipidemic activity,[30] Antidiapetic, [31] MedicinalUse Traditional Uses- All part of the plant, and especially its contain more amount of the compound alkaloids its called tecomine and tecostamine. Traditionally flowers and bark are used for treatment of various cancers. These flowers contain beta carotene and zeaxanthene to treat eye disorder, At the same time cured also antidiabetic, anti spasmodic, anti oxidant, anti proliferative, wound healing, cytotoxic, anti microbial, anti fungal. It is used in the horticulture industry because it is drought and semi-salt
As a prevailing antioxidant, vitamin C protects our bodies against oxidation stress and the inflammation linked with asthma and arthritis. Prevents Arthritis and Works as an Antiseptic Grapefruit contains salicylic acid that helps break down the body's inorganic calcium which builds up in the cartilage of joints and may lead to arthritis, a health issue problem faced by so many people, especially the elderly. Grapefruit seed extracts can be added to water to make an antiseptic spray for treating bacterial and fungal infections. Helps in Cancer Prevention Grapefruit is a rich source of Lycopene, a carotenoid pigment which is responsible for the rich red color of grapefruit. However Lycopene is also a strong agent that works against cancer and tumors as it acts as a scavenger of cancer-causing free radicals.
resistance may provide an additional method for controlling faba bean diseases to be considered in an integrated diseases management. Geetha and Shetty (2002) reported the induction of resistance in pearl millet against downy mildew disease up on treating seeds of the highly susceptible cultivars of pearl millet with the plant activator benzothiadiazole (BTH) (CGA 245704), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). 0.75 per cent BTH, 90 mM CaCl2 and 1.0mM H2O2 were efficient in managing the disease by giving 78 per cent, 66 per cent and 59 per cent protection respectively, against downy mildew disease. In vivo quantification of Sclerospora graminicola by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed reduced fungal biomass in plants induced for resistance. 2.11.
It helps to prevent strokes, heart attacks and blood clot formation. It can be produced from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride, with acetic acid as its by-product. However, salicylic acid consists of the phenolic and carboxylic acid groups which are way too acidic for the stomach lining. Thus, acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) was refined to become a more effective substitute. Theories In this experiment set-up, acetic anhydride is added to salicylic acid in the presence of a catalyst, concentrated sulphuric acid.
Therefore there is a need for isolation and characterization of natural antioxidant having fewer side effects which can be used in foods or medicinal materials to replace damage causing synthetic antioxidants [20]. A very important medicinal plant family is Labiatae, also known as the mint family. Plants in this family are herbs or shrubs often with an aromatic smell. A. malabarica is a medicinal plant, belonging to this family has been used as a folkloric medicine to treat amentia, anorexia, fevers, swellings, rheumatism, colic dyspepsia and curing wounds [9].The leaves of A.malabarica is reported to possess anticancer, allergenic, anthelmintic, antiallergic, antianaphylactic, antibacterial, antihistaminic, antiinflammatory, antileukemic, anti plasmodial, antiseptic and antibiotic properties [17]. 2.
