Withania somnifera belongs to the family Solanaceae, commonly called ashwagandha, and is traditionally used as an astringent, hepatoprotective and antioxidant, and as a treatment for rheumatism. Therefore the current study aimed to explore the dichloromethane fraction of W. somnifera whole plant (DCFWS) and ethyl acetate fraction of W.

- Plant extracts are being utilized globally for their beneficial properties, particularly for food preservation and combating diseases due to their antimicrobial and antioxidant abilities.
- Research focused on the extracts of Euphorbia parviflora revealed the presence of several phytochemicals, with methanol extracts showing the highest amounts of phenols and flavonoids.
- Antimicrobial tests indicated that the methanolic extract exhibited the greatest antibacterial activity against various bacterial strains, highlighting its potential usage in medicinal applications.
Article Synopsis
- - Seaweed extracts (butanol and ethyl acetate) contain various bioactive components that contribute to human health, showing significant levels of ash, fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
- - A total of 19 compounds were identified in the butanol extract and 25 in the ethyl acetate extract, with some notable compounds including undecane and hexadecenoic acid, and FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of several functional groups.
- - Both extracts demonstrated antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, with high inhibition rates on harmful compounds and concentration-dependent hypoglycemic effects in vivo.
is an annual plant of the family Euphorbiaceae, traditionally used as a laxative, a cathartic and an emetic. A methanolic extract of (MEC) whole plant and an -butanol fraction of (NBFC) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect the phytochemicals. MEC and NBFC were tested for in vitro anti acetylcholinesterase (AChE) potential.

We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize the composition of ethyl acetate (EAC) and dichloromethane (DCMC) fractions from the whole plant. EAC and DCMC fractions were evaluated for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity and acute toxicity.
