Gastroprotective Efficacy of North African Medicinal Plants: A Review on Their Therapeutic Potential for Peptic Ulcers.

Peptic ulcer disease remains a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder worldwide. Current treatments often have limitations, sparking interest in alternative therapies from medicinal plants. This review examines the gastroprotective potential of 54 North African medicinal plants against peptic ulcers.

Evaluation of Dermal Wound Healing Potential: Phytochemical Characterization, Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Activities of Euphorbia guyoniana Boiss. & Reut. Latex.

This study investigates the wound-healing potential of Euphorbia guyoniana latex (EGL) in male Wistar rats, along with its biochemical composition and biological activities. Phytochemical analysis identified moderate levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and tannins, with HPLC revealing five phenolic compounds. EGL demonstrated strong antioxidant activity in DPPH assays, surpassing ascorbic acid in protecting red blood cells.

Therapeutic Efficacy of Extract and Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized from the Extract against Cadmium-Induced Renal Nephrotoxicity in Wistar Rats.

This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized using a extract to alleviate cadmium-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats. Sub-acute toxicity assessments of (100 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg, and 4000 mg/kg) and Ag NPs (2 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) did not find any significant difference, compared with untreated control rats ( = 3 animals/group). Then, the adult Wistar rats were divided into one control (untreated/unexposed) and six experimental groups ( = 5/group): Ag NPs alone, alone, exposure to 50 mg/kg CdCl in drinking water for 35 days, exposure to CdCl for 35 days followed by treatment with 0.

Therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticles from extract for mitigating cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity: liver function parameters, oxidative stress, and histopathology in wistar rats.

This study explores the therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized using a extract in mitigating cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. Given the increasing environmental and health concerns associated with cadmium exposure, novel and eco-friendly therapeutic strategies are essential. Ag NPs were characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrometry, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with scanning electron microscopy, confirming their formation with a cubic crystal structure and particle sizes ranging from 4.
