1. PHYSICOCHEMICAL AND RHEOLOGICAL MODELING OF SYNERGISTIC INTERACTION OF SOME PLANT GUM EXUDATES.
ABSTRACT
The visco-elastic properties of Khayasenegalensis (KS gum), Anacardium occidentale (AO gum) and Acacia senegal (AS gum) blends in dilute solution were investigated. The gums were evaluated for intrinsic viscosity and the elastic component. Molecular conformation of the complex...
2. PHYTOCHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF ETHANOL EXTRACT OF CHROZOPHORA SENEGALENSIS (LAM) A. JUS
Abstract
The ethanol extract of root of Chrozophora senegalensis use in ethanomedicine to treat diarrhea, rheumatism, taeniasis, stomach ache, inflammation and veneral diseases was subjected to Phytochemical and Biological studies. Phytochemical analysis was carried out using standard p...
3. SURFACE ACTIVITY AND RELEASE PROPERTIES OF SOME TROPICAL GUMS IN ARTEMETHER AND ARTESUNATE SODIUM TABLET FORMULATIONS
ABSTRACT
Plant gums are natural polymers with low toxicity, high biodegradability and high compatibility with drugs making them useful as pharmaceutical excipients in solid, semi-solid and liquid formulations. This work was aimed at evaluating the surface activity and release properties...
4. PHARMACOGNOSTIC AND SOME BIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON MAYTENUS SENEGALENSIS (LAM.) EXELL (CELASTRACEAE)
ABSTRACT
Maytenus senegalensis (Celastraceae) is commonly known as thorny staff tree or confettii tree, is of high traditional use among the „Hausa‟ community of Northern Nigeria. Hence the present investigation was to establish the pharmacognostic parameters for the leaves and st...
5. ANTI-PLASMODIAL, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANALGESIC ACTIVITIES OF ALKALOID FRACTION OF Maytenus senegalensis LEAF IN MICE
ABSTRACT
The treatment inadequacy and toxicity associated with conventional anti-malarial, antiinflammatory and analgesic drugs calls for the search for alternatives from medicinal plants, particularly. In the present study, alkaloid fraction of Maytenus senegalensis leaf was evaluated...
6. EVALUATION OF ANTIFUNGAL EFFICACY OF SOME LEAF EXTRACTS OF SOME PLANTS ON RED ROT PATHOGEN (Colletotrichum falcatum) OF SUGARCANE (Saccharum officinarum)
ABSTRACT
Botanical extracts have shown appreciable achievement in controlling plant diseases. This became evident in this study when the potency of leaf extracts from Azadirachta indica, Carica papaya, Lawsonia inermis, Khaya senegalensis and Ziziphus spina- christi were tested on the m...
7. ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME PLANTS USED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PAIN
ABSTRACT
Pain is a worldwide problem and is associated with most disease conditions. The properties of herbs used to treat pain were investigated with the aim of confirming their use and finding out some pharmacological properties that may augment their analgesic activity. A total of ei...
