In vivo ameliorative effects of vitamin E against hydralazine-induced lupus.

Objective: In this study, we investigated the in vivo ameliorative effects of vitamin E in a hydralazine-induced lupus model, which closely resembles SLE in humans. We aim to shed light on its potential as a therapeutic agent for managing SLE.

Methods: Forty BALB/c mice were used in this study.

Antibacterial properties and GC-MS analysis of ethyl acetate extracts of (Baker) and (Fresen).

Conventional antibiotics are associated with various side-effects. Therefore, there is need of using plant-derived antibiotics with fewer side-effects. and , which have been extensively utilized in the Mbeere community, were studied to support their folkloric use and demonstrate their antibacterial capabilities.

GC-MS Analysis, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Potential of Ethyl Acetate Leaf Extract of (Delile) Grown in Kenya.

Bacterial diseases are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. During bacterial diseases, an elevation of host immune response occurs, which involves the production of free radicals in response to the bacterial infection. The overproduction of free radicals in excess of the antioxidants leads to oxidative stress.

Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Acute Oral Toxicity, and Qualitative Phytochemistry of The Aqueous Root Extract of (Hochst. Ex Oliv. & Hiern.).

The root and leaf extracts of have been locally used in traditional medicine for decades to manage inflammatory conditions and other oxidative-stress-related syndromes; however, their pharmacologic efficacy has not been scientifically investigated and validated. Accordingly, we investigated the antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory ( and ) efficacy, acute oral toxicity, and qualitative phytochemical composition of the aqueous root extract of . The ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and the 2,2-diphenyl-2-pycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging test methods were used to determine the studied plant extract's antioxidant activity.

Screening of the Dichloromethane: Methanolic Extract of for Antibacterial Activities against , , , , and .

Bacterial infections are responsible for a large number of deaths every year worldwide. On average, 80% of the African population cannot afford conventional drugs. Moreover, many synthetic antibiotics are associated with side effects and progressive increase in antimicrobial resistance.
