Blepharis maderaspatensis is an ethnomedicinal plant used by the Mavilan and Koraga tribes of Kerala state, India for treatment liver diseases. Thus, present study aims to evaluate protective activity defatted ethanolic extract B. on lipopolysaccharide-induced acute inflammation oxidative stress in Wistar rat model. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation high-performance thin-layer chromatography fingerprint validation were performed. The total phenolic flavonoid contents measured using...
Anthocyanins (ACNs) have attracted considerable attention for their potential to modulate the immune system. Research has revealed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which play a crucial role in regulation by influencing key cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells. Moreover, ACNs contribute maintaining balance between proinflammatory cytokines, thus promoting health. Beyond direct effects on cells, significantly impact gut health microbiota, essential factors...
Areca catechu L., a medium-sized palm tree comprising over 200 genera and approximately 2600 species, is commonly referred to as the areca nut extensively utilized in traditional Indian Chinese medicines.This study primarily focused on antioxidant antibacterial activities of petroleum ether (ACPE), chloroform (ACCE), methanol (ACME) extracts A. inflorescence.Quantitative assessment total phenolic, flavonoid, alkaloid contents using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, aluminium chloride, ammonium...
The development of novel therapeutic agents with fewer adverse effects is crucial due to the persistent side current drugs, which are often required treat both acute and chronic diseases characterised by inflammation oxidative stress.This study investigated anti-inflammatory stress reduction potential a defatted methanolic extract Areca catechu L. inflorescence (ACME), rich in alkaloids flavonoids, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory responses HepG2 cancer cells.The MTT assay was...
