This is the first report of a phytochemical investigation of Jamaican populations of a local folk medicinal plant Salvia coccinea (Lamiaceae/Labiatae). Apart from the presence of 3-sitosterol, phytochemical profiling of the aerial parts yielded compounds other than those previously reported from Indian and Italian populations. The triterpenes betulinic acid and betulin, the phytosterols beta-sitosterol and beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, as well as the steroid precursor squalene were isolated. The structures of the compounds were established by comparison of NMR spectroscopic data with those reported in literature.

Inflammation is one of the basic pathophysiologically important components in many life-threatening diseases. Metallic nanoparticles play a crucial role in biomedical applications. The present study was aimed at investigating the ameliorative effect of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using leaf extracts and characterizing them using physical and chemical methods, followed by evaluation of their cytotoxic, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory potentials in monocytic THP-1 cells.

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress has been implicated in diabetes and its complications. Medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity may decrease oxidative stress by scavenging radicals and reducing power activity and would be a promising strategy for the treatment of inflammatory disorders like diabetes. This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of Aqueous Extract of S.

Response to simultaneous stressors is an important facet of plant ecology and land management. In a greenhouse trial, we studied how eight plant species responded to single and combined effects of three soil concentrations of the phytotoxic munitions constituent RDX and two levels of water-resourcing. In an outdoor trial, we studied the effects of high RDX soil concentration and two levels of water-resourcing in three plant species.

(Lamiaceae) is a promising source of potential antioxidants, and its extracts can be used in pharmaceutical industry, as well as in food products and cosmetics. Salicylic acid (SA) affects many physiological and metabolic processes in vascular plants under salinity stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the response of to either SA, or sodium chloride (NaCl), or a combination of both.
