Borage (Borago officinalis) is a plant with nutritional value that also used in traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal disease. This study investigated the amoebicidal activity of methanol extract borage. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for Entamoeba histolytica was 33 μg/mL. lethal dose brine shrimp greater than 1,000 IC50 Vero cells 203.9 These results support use borage prevent diseases associated E. infection.

The objective of extract standardization is to obtain optimum and consistent quality herbal preparations with defined components. This paper presents the radical scavenging effect extracts against DPPH free (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) cytotoxic activity in vitro on cervical cancer cell line HeLa five commercial standardized rich phenolic compounds: red wine (Vitis vinifera), green tea (Camellia sinensis), pine bark (Pinus maritime), polygonum (Polygonum cuspidatum), pomegranate (Punica...

There is a trend to use medicinal plants for primary medical care or as dietary supplements; however, the safety of many these has not been studied. The objective this work was determine toxic effect aqueous extract Calea ternifolia (C. zacatechichi), known popularly "dream herb" in vivo and vitro order validate its safety. In vivo, had moderate toxicity on A. salina. vitro, induced eryptosis 73% at concentration 100 μg·mL-1 it inhibited CYP3A by 99% 375 μg/mL. After administering 8.5 mg/kg...

Background and Objective: Plants are used in Mexico as traditional medicine for the treatment of diverse illnesses such stomach pain, fever, diarrhea, insomnia, flu other respiratory diseases.Twenty were selected to determine their bactericidal activity.The aim this study was isolation molecules from plants Mexican medicine.Materials Methods: Using chromatographic procedures, responsible rosemary extracted then identified by spectroscopic analysis IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C DEPT, HSQC GC-MS.Measures...

Background: Aloe vera, a plant belonging to the family Xanthorrhoeaceae, has received special interest in recent years, not only for commercial importance of its derivatives, but also because identification new molecules from this plant. The latter may provide scientific support ethnobotany, which been beneficial mankind centuries. Objective: Recently, pharmacological activity proteins derived natural sources, including plants, is being explored. We report on extraction and A. vera with...

Desde tiempos antiguos las plantas han constituido un recurso en los sistemas de salud países desarrollo, la OMS ha estimado que más 80% población emplea medicina tradicional. Las bacterias van adquiriendo resistencia a fármacos, debido esto se buscan alternativas. El propósito este estudio fue evaluación del extracto metanólico Ficus carica (higuera) contra cepas bacterianas multifarmacorresistentes. Éste presenta actividad E. coli 25922 y S. aureus BAA-44 con una concentración...

The study focuses on the therapeutic action of medicinal plants used in treatment chronic degenerative diseases. ethanolic extract Mexican species Cecropia obtusifolia Bertol, traditionally for diabetes, was evaluated. cytoprotective effect determined normal adherent human fibroblast cell line Hs68, and its toxicity assessed Artemia salina. using neutral red (NR) assay, demonstrating a viability 98 %, indicating very low cytotoxic no A. These assays have been routinely employed as screening...

Background. The resistance to antibiotics shown by some dermatological pathogenic microorganisms has increased the interest of pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries in developing natural products that possess different biological activities, including antimicrobial effects. Methods. In present investigation, antibacterial activity ethanolic extracts Dodonaea viscosa aerial part Mammea americana leaves seed was evaluated against resistant strains Staphylococcus isolated from skin lesions S....

Background: In clinical therapy, there is no satisfactory drug available for treatment of urolithiasis, especially the prevention their recurrence. The aim this work was to evaluate in vivo antiurolithic activity methanolic extract Berberis trifoliata leaves.
 Material and methods: Urolithiasis induced Wistar rats by zinc disc implantation urinary bladder. Upon postsurgical recovery, different doses B. leaves (50, 100 150 mg/kg body weight) were administered orally implanted a period 20...
