Ameliorative effects of probiotic Limosilactobacillus fermentum and Enterococcus lactis isolated from cameroonian traditionally processed milk and palm wine against chronic constriction injury induced neuropathic pain in mice.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fermented milk and palm wine are regularly used by several ethnic groups in Cameroon in traditional treatment rituals for infections, inflammatory, cardiovascular disorders, and even metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia etc. Reports from many studies have demonstrated that fermented milk and palm wine are potential sources of probiotic bacteria. However, the capacity of probiotics isolated from these natural sources to alleviate neuropathic pain has not been experimentally tested.

Aqueous Extract Antagonises Chronic and Binges Ethanol Feeding-Induced Memory Dysfunctions: Insights into Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Mechanisms.

Ethanol consumption is widely accepted despite its addictive properties and its mind-altering effects. This study aimed to assess the effects of against, memory impairment, on a mouse model of chronic and binges ethanol feeding. Mice were divided, into groups of 8 animals each, and received distilled water, aqueous extract (25; 50; 100; or 200 mg/kg) or memantine (200 mg/kg) once a day, while fe, with Lieber-DeCarli control (sham group only) or Lieber-DeCarli ethanol diet ad libitum for 28 days.

Antioxidant and Anticholinesterase Properties of the Aqueous Extract of L. Delile Fruit Pulp on Monosodium Glutamate-Induced Excitotoxicity in Swiss Mice.

L. Delile (. ) is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of memory impairment.

Anticonvulsant effects of Senna spectabilis on seizures induced by chemicals and maximal electroshock.

Senna spectabilis (Fabaceae) is one of the medicinal plants used in Cameroon by traditional healers to treat epilepsy, constipation, insomnia, anxiety. The present study aimed to investigate the anticonvulsant effects of Senna spectabilis decoction on seizures induced by maximal electroshock (MES), pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), pilocarpine (PC) and its possible action mechanisms in animal models using flumazenil (FLU), methyl-ß-carboline-3-carboxylate (BC) and bicuculline (BIC). Senna spectabilis decoction (106.

Biomimetic synthesis of Tramadol.

Tramadol has recently been isolated from the roots and bark of Nauclea latifolia. A plausible biosynthetic pathway has been proposed and the product-precursor relationship has been probed by (13)C position-specific isotope analysis. By further exploring this pathway, we demonstrate that a key step of the proposed pathway can be achieved using mild conditions that mimic in vivo catalysis.

Antipsychotic and sedative effects of the leaf extract of Crassocephalum bauchiense (Hutch.) Milne-Redh (Asteraceae) in rodents.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Crassocephalum bauchiense (Hutch.) Milne-Redh (Asteraceae) has been used as a medicine for the treatment of epilepsy, insomnia, dementia and psychotic disorders in Cameroonian traditional medicine.

Aim Of The Study: This study was designed to examine whether the aqueous extract and the alkaloid fraction prepared from the leaves of Crassocephalum bauchiense possess antipsychotic and sedative properties in rodents.
