Hepatoprotective and in vivo antioxidant effects of granulometric classes and decoction of Mildbread leaves powders against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats.

is a plant from the Moraceae family commonly used in African countries for its nutritional value and its believed medicinal properties. Its antioxidant in vitro capacity and its richness in phenolic compounds have been previously demonstrated. This work aimed at evaluating the hepatoprotective and in vivo antioxidant activities of different granulometric fractions of the leaves against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

()-Brunneusine, a new phenolic compound with antibacterial properties in aqueous medium from the leaves of (Engl.) Tiegh (LORANTHACEAE).

(Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic plant growing on (Fabaceae). The chemical investigation of its leaves and flowers led to the isolation of one new phenolic compound namely (-)-brunneusine (), together with 13 known compounds. The crude leaves and flowers extracts (CLE and CFLE) with their ethyl acetate fractions (EAFL and EAFFL) and some isolated compounds (; and ) have been tested on four bacterial species of sanitary importance isolated in an aquatic environment.
