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.
Herein, we report the use of three methods to pulp rice husks to find a method that results in near lignin-free pulp. Using dilute hydrochloric acid, the near lignin-free pulp (α-cellulose) was depolymerized into microcrystalline cellulose
The Current research explains the in-vitro anticancer activity of psidium guajava plant extract against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell lines.
The species of Jatropha curcas and Phragmanthera capitata are used in the treatment of various ailments in African traditional medicine such as insomnia and convulsive disorders.
A simple, rapid, accurate, and precise reverse phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated for the determination of acyclovir (ACV) present in the pharmaceutical dosage form
Ligand efficiency is a widely used design parameter in drug discovery. The dependence of ligand efficiency on the concentration unit can be eliminated by defining efficiency in terms of sensitivity of affinity to molecular size and this is illustrated with reference to fragment-to-lead optimizations.
In the literature, there are few studies on the species Tabebuia hypoleuca. So far, only the anti-inflammatory activity of stems methanol extract is reported in two models of acute inflammation
Background: Tabebuia spp. has been traditionally used to treatment of different illness. We reported in previous paper the antiinflammatory activity on acute inflammation models, antinociceptive and antipyretic effect from methanol extract of Tabebuia hypoleuca stem.
