Larvicidal and repellent potential of Ageratum houstonianum against Culex pipiens.

Mosquitoes are unquestionably the most medic arthropod vectors of disease. Culex pipiens, usually defined as a common house mosquito, is a well-known carrier of several virus diseases. Crude ethanol extracts of different organs of Agratum houstonianum are tested with Culex pipiens Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) to determine their larvicidal, antifeedant, and repellency effects.

Pharmacological activity and flavonoids constituents of Artemisia judaica L aerial parts.

Ethno-pharmacological Relevance: Artemisia judaica L is an aromatic medicinal plant growing widely in Saint Katherine, Sinai, Egypt, and used in traditional medicine as a herbal remedy for antibacterial, anthelmintic, antidiabetic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Additionally, other Arabic regions commonly used it in their folk medicines for the treatment of fungal infections, atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and inflammatory-related diseases.

Aim Of The Study: Based on the traditional medicinal uses of A.

HPLC-PDA-MS/MS profiling of secondary metabolites from cladode, peel and fruit pulp extracts and their antioxidant, neuroprotective effect in rats with aluminum chloride induced neurotoxicity.

(L.) Mill. (OFI), also known as Indian fig or prickly pear, is a member of the family Cactaceae that produces edible, nutritionally rich sweet fruits.

Efficient wound healing composite hydrogel using Egyptian Avena sativa L. polysaccharide containing β-glucan.

The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient wound healing PVA-biopolymer composite hydrogel using the polysaccharide derived from Egyptian Avena sativa L. The prepared polysaccharide showed high β-glucan content which accelerates wound healing. The β-glucan content was 13.

Chemical composition and biological evaluation of the volatile constituents from the aerial parts of Nephrolepis exaltata (L.) and Nephrolepis cordifolia (L.) C. Presl grown in Egypt.

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Nephrolepis exaltata and Nephrolepis cordifolia obtained by hydro-distillation were analyzed by gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry. The essential oils exhibited potential antibacterial and antifungal activities against a majority of the selected microorganisms. NEA oil showed promising cytotoxicity in breast, colon and lung carcinoma cells.
