The development of digital technologies and the evolution open innovation approaches have enabled creation diverse virtual organizations enterprises coordinating their activities primarily online. platform titled "International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce" (INPST) was established in 2018, to bring together collaborative environment individuals interested natural product scientific research, empower interactions by using communication tools.In this work, we present a general overview...
Dioscorea species is a very important food and drug plant. The tubers of the plant are extensively used in purposes owing to presence steroidal constituent’s diosgenin tubers. In present study, we report for first time that leaves composita floribunda grown under field conditions exhibited multicellular oil glands on epidermal layers plants using stereomicroscopy (SM) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Essential was also isolated from otherwise not useful herbage plant, gas...
Diuresis refers to an increase in the rate of urine flow and sodium excretion from system via urine. It is a necessary excretory process that may prove difficult for some disease systems e.g. enlarged prostates. Hypertension occurs as result systolic blood pressure higher than 140 mmHg or diastolic 90 mmHg. one most common chronic diseases affecting more billion people worldwide. A high dietary intake factors associated with development hypertension. Clerodendrum chinensis used by local...
ABSTRACT Tubers of wild Dioscorea species (yam) are used as low-cost materials for the synthesis steroids; cortisone and progesterone using Marker Degradation chemical route. Decoctions from yam leaves tubers also in ethnomedicine regulating female fertility alleviating painful periods menopausal symptoms. It is now known that tuber extracts reduce inhibit proliferative action breast cancer cells reverse cardiovascular diseases. Due to current urgent needs global interest plants’...

ABSTRACT Objective We aim to test the efficacy of edible Dioscorea species grown and consumed in Nigeria, Africa on two breast cancer cell lines; MCF-7 MDA-MB231 derived from a luminal triple-negative (TNBC) respectively confirm safety non-tumour cells MCF-10A using well established cytotoxic compound paclitaxel as standard. Metastatic is prevalent cause mortality women around world. Breast therapies have greatly advanced recent years, but many patients develop re-occurrence metastasis...
ABSTRACT Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) K.Schum. ( Apocynaceae ) seeds are known to possess cardioactive glycosides such as thevetin A, B, nerifolin etc. They also used locally for general pain relief which there is no scientific evidence our knowledge. Arthralgia regarded generally without inflammation. It endemic in the society and sufferers continue imbibe relieving drugs their tons all over world. Analgesic activity test was carried out using formalin-induced models, at 0.1g, 0.2g 0.3g/kg...
3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a compound derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, found in Cruciferous vegetables (Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower,) which promotes Estrogen metabolism females. It has been known to help reduction heavy blood flow during menstruation especially females with uterine fibroids. Dim-plus herbal supplement contains Vitamin E, DIM, Phosphatidlycholine, Spinach, and Broccoli powder. The purpose this research extract identify compounds present Broccoli,...
Starches are important energy sources found in plants with many uses the pharmaceutical industry such as binders, disintegrants, bulking agents drugs and thus require very careful physicochemical analysis for proper identification verification which includes microscopy. In this work, we applied artificial intelligence techniques (using transfer learning deep convolution neural network CNNs to microscopical images obtained from 9 starch samples of different botanical sources. Our approach an...

We aimed to simplify process of starch by applying artificial intelligence used machine learning.In this work, we applied Artificial Intelligence [AI] techniques (using transfer learning deep convolution neural network...
Abstract Background : Several Dioscorea species are used in Chinese medicine for tumours and grown Africa yet to be tested the best of knowledge efficacy as cytotoxic agents. In Nigeria, greatest producer edible yams world, is king plants. Its tubers feeds millions people also function ethnomedicine diverse diseases. We aim test consumed Nigeria on two breast cancer cell lines; MCF-7 MDA-MB231 derived from a luminal triple-negative (TNBC) respectively confirm safety non-tumour cells MCF-10A...
ABSTRACT Background The rise in occurrence of hypertension, a non-communicable disease and major factor for chronic renal failure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, which most times lead to sudden death is worrisome. Resistant hypertension more common may have no symptoms at all months or years, but then can cause heart attack, vision kidney damage. Prevention quick management are therefore essential reducing the risk these debilitating ailments. Aqueous ethanolic extracts leaves Clerodendrum...
