Histomorphological assessment of the testes and some blood parameters of mice exposed to the ethanolic seed extract of Mucuna urens were investigated in 24 male mice weighing between 20-30g. The mice were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals each. Group 1 was the control while group 2, 3 and 4 were the experimental groups. 80 seeds of Mucuna urens were used and the content was extracted using 1000mls of absolute alcohol. Filtered and dried in water-bath of 45°C. 1000mg of the extract was dissolved in 50mls of distilled water and 50mls of 30% of tween 80. The extract was administered orally for 7 days. Group 1 was administered 5ml distilled water, group 2 were administered 100mg/kg of ethanolic seed extract of Mucuna urens, group 3 were administered 200mg/kg of ethanol seed extract of Mucuna urens and group 4 were administered 300mg/kg of ethanolic seed extract of Mucuna urens. After sacrifice, cardiac puncture was done for hemoglobin (HB) count and Pack cell Volume (PCV) determination. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA.

A new Schiff base has synthesized from 4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl) aniline and different aromatic carbonyl compounds. Metal complexes of the Schiff base have been synthesized from salts Fe (II), Ag (II) metal in the alcoholic medium.
Tabebuia hypoleuca (C. Wright) Urb. Is Cuban endemic plant without preview study as antitumor, however these genera had been reported with several pharmacological activities.
The physiological role of pain helps to avoid or limit the tissue damage and therefore it provides the vital protective function. It has been previously studied, that complex compounds SnCl4 with salicyloylhydrazones of benzaldehyde and brombenzaldehyde as well as their components represent the practical interest by the manifestation of anti-inflammatory and antidepressive action.
Present research work focused to green synthesis of novel mesoionic compounds containing sydnone moiety and their anticancer screening.
Recently, natural bioactive compounds have been the focus of many health related biotechnology studies. In order to enhance the stability of the natural bioactive compounds appropriate carrier systems are certainly needed to protect them from harsh environmental conditions and also control their release rates.
Chitosan nanoparticles are used for drug delivery because, they allow drugs to be selectively targeted to organs thereby minimizing injuries.
Uvariodendron anisatum (annonaceae) is a rare, endemic and indigenous medicinal plant in Kenya. The plant root decoction is used to remove placenta in women if it is retained during child deliveries.
