The objective of the present study was to characterize flavonoids present in butanolic extract of aerial part of T. articulata (TABE) and to test its antibacterial synergistic effect, anticoagulant and antioxidant properties. The analysis of the TABE by colorimetric tests and TLC revealed the presence of flavonoids. The dosage showed that the proportions of total flavonoids and flavonols were 19.25 ± 0.07 and 13.6 ± 1.6 mg QE/g DW, respectively. Besides, the greatest antibacterial activity of the extract was shown against S. aureus. In contrast no effect was observed against E. coli. Furthermore, the most synergistic potential inhibitory effect was noted in the case of E. coli, when the extract was combined with penicillin. In addition, the MICs was determined used microdilution method, the values obtained were ranged from 2.5 to 20 mg/ml. Moreover, the in vitro anticoagulant activity was assessed by PT and KCT tests. The results showed interesting anticoagulant activity, with KCT value of 55.4 s which is superior to that obtained by the anticoagulant drug –Lovenox- (39.37s). The antioxidant activity was evaluated in vitro using DPPH• method. The result expressed in terms of IC50 was found to be 0.04 mg/ml. To conclude, the TABE constitutes a valuable source of anticoagulant, antioxidant and antibacterial synergism metabolites, which makes it a potential candidate to isolate responsible flavonoids and to develop novel pharmaceutical formulations.","PeriodicalId":21895,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81678825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that foliar application of chitosan and urea significantly influenced the growth, yield and quality of palak. The foliar application of chitosan @ 100 ppm (T4) showed significantly maximum vegetative growth, leaf yield along with better quality of leaves in terms of dry matter content, TSS and Vitamin C content. Urea @ 1% (T7) also showed close result compared to chitosan application.

Some studies have shown that DBP has potential testicular toxicity. The aim of this study was to explore the adverse effects of DBP on testes and epididymis weight, sperm head counts, sperm motility, abnormal changes in sperm morphology, in male rabbits as well as to assess ameliorating role of curcumin. The present study was carried out to evaluate the protective effects of curcumin (from the rhizome, Curcuma longa L.) on the di-n-butylphthalate (DBP)-induced damage in reproductive rabbits. The dose of curcumin (60 mg/kg) and curcumin(60 mg/kg) plus DBP 700 mg/kg were administered per gavage to male rabbits for 30 consecutive days and reproductive parameters were determined.. The results indicated that DBP administration (700 mg/kg) significantly decreased testosterone level, count and motility of sperms, and testis weight compared to control group. However, administration of curcumin with DBP increased reproductive indices in most of the groups compared to DBP-treated groups. DBP-treated rabbits showed marked degeneration of the seminiferous tubules with necrosis and defoliation of spermatocytes .Our research demonstrated that DBP-induced injuries in spermatological parameters and histological structure of testis were recovered by treatment with curcumin Thus, it seems that curcumin inhibits DBP-induced adverse effects on reproductive parameters. The protective effects of these compounds may be due to their intrinsic antioxidant properties and as such may prove useful in combating phthalate-induced reproductive toxicity.","PeriodicalId":21895,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88557287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, there is a need to be further investigated in Algerian date palm cultivars. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of the storage temperature variation on the content of phenolic compounds in dates for some Algerian cultivars (Deglet Nour, Ghars, Mech Degla, Degla Baidha). The fruits of the four cultivars were preserved in varying degrees of temperature (4°C and ambient temperature). To determine the effect of the varying degrees of storage temperature on the content of phenolic compounds, the total phenols, flavonoids and total tannins were measured. The differences were noted for the five studied parameters. We found that there was a storage temperature effect on the pH parameter with a value of 6.17 (±0.04), and low effect on electric conductivity. Determination of total polyphenols in dates shows high degrees in Degla Baidha cultivar stored at 4 °C (574.46 mg EAG/100 g) compared to those of Mech Degla, Ghars and Deglet Nour (564.46, 554.35 and 526.39 mg EAG/100 g respectively), and for the same cultivars stored in high temperature, the total polyphenols content was found lower. The total tannin and flavonoid content show a significant difference for date cultivars, where the best estimated levels of the two components in Degla Baidha cultivar at 4 °C (110.43 mg EAT/100 g and 4.51 mg QE/100 g respectively). The results revealed that there was insignificant effect of variation in storage temperatures on flavonoids and total tannins, but the effect was strong, with respect to total polyphenols. Considerable quantities of these compounds were recorded at a temperature of 4 °C. These findings reveal the richness of these Algerian cultivars in phenolic compounds compared to others.","PeriodicalId":21895,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Experimental Biology","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80485145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We chose essential oils which are natural substances thanks to their numerous anti-infectious, antioxidant and antibacterial properties, etc. The objective of this work is to study the acute toxicity as well as the evaluation of the anti-inflammatory properties of the essential oils of both organs (leaves and flowers) of Cotula cinerea. As methodological approaches, we used the hydrodistillation technique to obtain the essential oils from leaves and flowers. Thus, the acute toxicity was determined by Lorke's method and the anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by measuring the plantar oedema of mice induced by carrageenan. The results show that the essential oil extracts of the leaves and flowers are low toxic substances with LD50s of 1131.37 mg/kg and 1264.91 mg/kg respectively. They also show a considerable anti-inflammatory effect at doses not exceeding 300 mg/kg with maximum percentages of 86.16% for leaves and 80.87% for flowers. These results show the efficacy of the essential oils of this plant and their therapeutic richness which can be used in traditional medicine for anti-inflammatory treatment.

Diabetes was induced intraperitonially by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The treated group received daily orally clove extract, for 4 weeks. Daily treatment by clove lowered significantly blood glucose, HbA1c levels and ameliorates the lipid profiles and showed increased PON1 activity. The study of lipid peroxidation showed that, the treatment with clove decreased TBARS levels in LDL fraction and in pancreas. Furthermore, in pancreas TNF-alpha and IL-1β levels were decreased in treated group. These results were confirmed by the histopathological assessments which clove treatment showed marked improvement of the destructive effect on pancreas islet cells induced by STZ. The present findings clearly demonstrated that clove could prevent many diabetic complications by reducing inflammation and oxidative damage.
