Cassia angustifolia Vahl. (commonly known as senna makkai or cassia senna), native to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen and also extensively cultivated in Pakistan, is a medicinal herb used traditionally cure number of diseases like liver diseases, constipation, typhoid, cholera etc. This study was conducted evaluate the in-vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant anticancer assays phytochemical constituents aqueous organic extracts C. leaves.The antimicrobial activities (methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl...
Several Pakistani plants are known to be of potential therapeutic value and used in traditional herbal medicine system the country. In this work, ten most popular routinely medicinal (Achyranthes aspera,Alternanthera pungens, Brassica campestris, Cannabis sativa, Convolvulus arvensis, Hordeum vulgare, Justicia adhatoda, Parthenium hysterophorus,Ricinus communis, Withania somnifera), which reported literature belong Haripur basin, studied first time for their trace (Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Co, Cd,...
Abstract Phylogenetic studies of Carex L. (Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most subgenera and sections are para‐ or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use in classification. Why? The Global Group (GCG) here takes the position historical continued serves (i) organize our understanding lineages , (ii) create an identification mechanism break ~2000 species into manageable groups stimulate its study, (iii) provide a framework recognize morphologically diagnosable within ....
Pakistan hosts rich biodiversity, including 38 species of the genus Artemisia L. (Asteraceae). Plant morphological descriptions were noted by means observations and ethnobotanical details documented through questionnaires meetings, with herbalists local inhabitants. Twelve are popularly used among Pakistani people as food, ornaments, fumigants medicines. These absinthium L., annua brevifolia Wall. ex DC., dracunculus dubia Besser, herba-alba Asso., japonica Thunb., maritima Ex Hook.f.,...
Artemisia L. is among the most diverse and medicinally important genera of plant family Asteraceae. Discrepancies arise in taxonomic classification due to occurrence multiple polyploidy events separate lineages its complex morphology. The discrepancies could be resolved by increasing genomic resources. A. scoparia one species Artemisia. In this paper, we report complete chloroplast genome sequence scoparia. was 151,060 bp (base pairs), comprising a large single copy (82,834 bp) small (18,282...
The present study is intended to compare and document the therapeutic flora, their remedial use, traditional knowledge used frequently by residents of Cholistan desert Pothwar (Potohar) Plateau Punjab, Pakistan. old endemic remedies these areas are diminishing due lack qualitative quantitative research.The data was generated unstructured-interviews, informal meetings, open-ended conversations group discussions with local people health healers area. Reported literature also utilized.The...
Post-burn trauma significantly raises tissue serotonin concentration at the initial stages of injury, which leads us to investigate its possible role in post burn wound healing. Therefore, we planned this study examine healing through vitro and vivo models injuries. Results from analysis revealed that decreased apoptosis increased cell survival human fibroblasts neonatal keratinocytes. Cellular proliferation also both types. Moreover, stimulation accelerated migration, resulting narrowing...
Due to exclusive ecological conditions, northern areas of Pakistan hosts many species the genus Artemisia L. (Asteraceae) great medicinal importance. In this paper we describe ethnobotanical details concerning with folk uses in Pakistan. The indigenous knowledge was obtained through questionnaires and meetings, local herbalists rural community. Eight are isolated which popularly used among inhabitants as therapeutics. These include A. absinthium, brevifolia, dubia, japonica, maritima,...
Abstract Artemisia subg. Seriphidium is one of the largest groups within , encompassing more than hundred species, some them having considerable ecological and economical importance. However, evolution has received less attention in comparison to other subgenera probably, apart from difficulty sampling throughout its very large distribution area, because low molecular morphological variability observed previous studies. Here, we use thorough taxonomic both reconstruct evolutionary history...
Cultureable bacterial diversity of previously unexplored Siachen glacier, Pakistan, was studied. Out 50 isolates 33 (66%) were Gram negative and 17 (34%) positive. About half the pigment producers able to grow at 4-37°C. 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed bacteria dominated by Proteobacteria (especially γ-proteobacteria β-proteobacteria) Flavobacteria. The genus Pseudomonas (51.51%, 17) dominant among γ- proteobacteria. β-proteobacteria constituted 4 (12.12%) Alcaligenes Janthinobacterium...
The Ebola virus (EBOV) is a lethal pathogen causing hemorrhagic fever syndrome which remains global health challenge. In the EBOV, two multifunctional proteins, VP35 and VP40, have significant roles in replication, virion assembly, budding from cell been identified as druggable targets. this study, we employed silico methods comprising molecular docking, dynamic simulations, pharmacological properties to identify prospective drugs for inhibiting VP40 proteins myxobacterial bioactive natural...
Genus Artemisia is cosmopolitan in distribution and its several species are being used folk therapeutic treatments worldwide. In this study, elemental compositions of seventeen indigenous (Artemisia scoparia, Artemisiaabsinthium, Acalypha indica, Artemisia santolinifolia, Abronia maritima, Artemisiavulgaris, Artemisia japonica, Artemisia nilagirica, Artemisia herba-alba, Artemisiaannua, Artemisia brevifolia, A. moorcroftiana, Artemisia dracunculus, Aglaiaroxburghiana and Artemisia dubia)...
Artemisinin and synthetic derivatives of dihydroartemisinin are known to possess various biological activities. Post-functionalization with triazole heterocycles has been proven lead enhanced therapeutic potential. By using our newly developed triazolization strategy, a library unexplored fused 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole were synthesized in single step. All these compounds characterized evaluated for their anti-HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) potential MT-4 cells. Interestingly;...
<title>Abstract</title> Heatwaves have become the serious threat to comfort and lives of urban residents. The cooling effects tree lawn through transpiration are regarded as a potential way address these challenges, but their on heatwaves mechanism remained unclear. Here, using 10-year observation, we investigate responses 54 heatwave events in subtropical city. We hypothesize that trees lawns exhibit distinct response patterns during due different water use strategies stomatal regulations....
