Phytochemical characterisation and toxicity effect of (Hemls.) A. Gray leaf extract on fall army worm (JE Smith) larvae.

Objectives: To mitigate the losses due to fall armyworm (FAW) infestation in maize, chemical pesticides had been the first choice and widely used as an emergency response. However, it comes with attendant health effect. This necessitates the development of plant based effective and safer pesticides.

Phytochemical profiling of aqeous methanolic leaf extract of by gas chromatography (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography (HPLC-PDA-ESI/MS) tandem mass spectroscopy (MS): a pointer to its nephroprotection.

The phytochemical constituents in the aqueous methanolic leaf extract of responsible for its nephroprotective potentials against ethane-1,2-diol induced nephrolithiasis as previously investigated in our laboratory were elucidated. The extract was prepared using 80% aqueous methanol in 72 h, Phytochemical contents of aqueous methanolic extract of (TGME) was identified using both a Thermo Scientific DSQII single quadrupole gas chromatography (GC) and a Thermo Scientific liquid chromatography (LCQ Fleet system) tandem mass spectroscopy. The chromatogram acquisition, detection of mass spectral peaks and their waveform processing were performed using Xcalibur MS Software (Thermo Scientific Inc.

Potential use of bitter melon (Momordica charantia) derived compounds as antidiabetics: In silico and in vivo studies.

Momordica charantia (bitter lemon) belongs to the cucurbitaceae family which has been extensively used in traditional medicines for the cure of various ailments such as cancer and diabetes. The underlying mechanism of M. charantia to maintain glycemic control was investigated.

MODULATION OF KEY BIOCHEMICAL MARKERS RELEVANT TO STROKE BY LEAF EXTRACT FOLLOWING CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA/REPERFUSION INJURY.

Background: Oxidative stress plays a significant role in stroke pathogenesis. Hence, plants rich in antioxidant phytochemicals have been suggested as effective remedies for prevention and treatment of stroke and other neurological diseases. Engl.
