Assessing a "Least-Concern" Red List Tree Species from Madagascar Used in Traditional Medicine: (Myricaceae) Phyto-Compounds and Anti-Inflammatory Properties.

(Myricaceae family) is a common plant from Madagascar and is present on the IUCN Red List of threatened species classified at the 'least concern' level, used by the local population to treat numerous illnesses and pain. Despite its frequent use, comprehensive phytochemical and pharmacological research on the species is limited. This study evaluated the antioxidant, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the toxicity of methanol extracts from the leaves (MS_L) and bark (MS_B) of .

Chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant capacity of Baker and Baker: Two endemic species from Madagascar as sources of essential oils.

Background: The aerial parts of Baker and Baker are used by the population of the Vakinankaratra and Itasy regions (Madagascar) to treat breathing difficulty, fever and/or headache, wounds, and sores.

Purpose: This work aimed to characterise plant materials from . and to report i) chemical composition, ii) antimicrobial properties, and iii) antioxidant capacity of the essential oils extracted from the aerial parts of these species.

Quali-Quantitative Fingerprinting of the Fruit Extract of Bail. () and Its Antioxidant, Analgesic, Anti-Inflammatory, and Antihyperglycemic Effects: An Example of Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use of Natural Resources in Madagascar.

Antioxidants are important supplements for the human body for their roles in human life for the maintenance of homeostasis. Tapia fruits () are used by the riverain population of the Tapia forests in Madagascar as complementary foods. This study aims to quantify the main antioxidants in the fruits to verify their contribution to the enhancement of their anti-inflammatory and antihyperglycemic effects.

Bio-guided isolation of androsta-1,4-dien-3,16-dione as a vasodilator active principle from the inflorescence of Sonn. (Strelitziaceae).

Androsta-1,4-dien-3,16-dione was isolated for the first time from the plant kingdom of the ethanolic extract of the ' inflorescence by the bio-guided method. Its structure was elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopic data analysis. The vascular effects of ethanol extracts, fractions and androsta-1,4-dien-3,16-dione were assessed on the phenylephrine pre-contracted isolated rat aorta.
