| host suitability of ixora spp. for the root-knot nematodes meloidogyne incognita race 1 and m. javanica. | eight commonly cultivated ixora species or cultivars were tested for their suitability as hosts and their level of tolerance to meloidogyne incognita race 1 and m. javanica in a greenhouse study. twenty weeks postinoculation with 5,000 eggs per pot, m. incognita race 1 and m. javanica produced galls and formed egg masses on roots of all eight ixora species or cultivars tested. however, only m. javanica-infected 'petite yellow' and 'maui' had decreases (p </= 0.05) in root wet weights, suggesting ... | 1992 | 19283052 |
| effects of the flower extract of ixora coccinea linn. on the meristematic cells of allium cepa. | the aqueous extract of flowers of i. coccinea was evaluated for its cytotoxic and mutagenic effects on the meristematic cells of onion root tip. the percentage of abnormalities was found to increase with the increase in the concentration of the extract from 20 to 60 mg/ml. with 80 mg/ml completed arrest or total inhibition of cell division was observed. the major abnormalities were unprinted chromosomes at metaphase. stickiness and clumping of chromosomes were induced by higher concentrations of ... | 1998 | 22556853 |
| antinociceptive action of aqueous extract of the leaves of ixora coccinea. | the aim of this study was to examine the antinociceptive potential of leaves of ixora coccinea (family: rubeaceae). one of four doses (500, 750, 1000 or 1500 mg/kg, n = 8/dose) of aqueous leaf extract (ale) or 1 ml of distilled water was orally administered to male rats and antinociceptive activity was ascertained using three models ofnociception (tail flick, hot plate and formalin tests). the results showed that ale possesses considerable antinociceptive activity (when evaluated in hot plate an ... | 2005 | 15813211 |
| distribution, feeding behavior and control strategies of the exotic land snail achatina fulica (gastropoda: pulmonata) in the northeast of brazil. | the goal of this study was to document the distribution and establishment a. fulica such as their feeding preference and behavior in situ. the study was carried out at the city of lauro de freitas, bahia state, brazil, between november 2001 and november 2002. we used catch per unit effort methods to determine abundance, distribution, habitat choice and food preferences. the abundance and distribution of a. fulica was most representative in urban area, mainly near to the coastline. lots and house ... | 2008 | 19197503 |
| antimutagenicity of some flowers grown in thailand. | the mutagenicity of dichloromethane, methanol and water extracts of antigonon leptopus hook. & arn., curcuma sessilis gage, hibiscus rosa-sinensis linn., ixora coccinea linn., millingtonia hortensis linn., nelumbo nucifera gaertn., plumeria obtusa linn., punica granatum linn., rhinacanthus nasutus ((linn.) kurz.) and syzygium malaccense ((linn.) merr.& perry) before and after nitrite treatment was firstly investigated in the ames test. their antimutagenicity against the product of the reaction m ... | 2010 | 20100534 |
| hepatoprotective effect of three herbal extracts on aflatoxin b1-intoxicated rat liver. | roots of ixora coccinea (rubiaceae), and rhinacanthus nasuta (acanthaceae) and whole plants of spilanthes ciliata (asteraceae) are extensively used by tribal communities in south india to treat liver diseases. however, the veracity of these tribal claims has not been investigated scientifically using the liver toxin, aflatoxin. this study reports on the protective effects of these three herbal ethanolic extracts on the aflatoxin b1 (afb1)-intoxicated livers of albino male wistar rats. | 2010 | 20505912 |
| doubly linked, a-type proanthocyanidin trimer and other constituents of ixora coccinea leaves and their antioxidant and antibacterial properties. | phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate fraction of the methanol extract of the leaves of ixora coccinea led to the isolation and identification of an a-type trimeric proanthocyanidin epicatechin-(2β→o→7, 4β→8)-epicatechin-(5→o→2β, 6→4β)-epicatechin named ixoratannin a-2 along with seven known compounds, epicatechin, procyanidin a2, cinnamtannin b-1, and four flavon-3-ol rhamnosides viz: kaempferol-7-o-α-l-rhamnnoside, kaempferol-3-o-α-l-rhamnoside, quercetin-3-o-α-l-rhamnopyranoside, a ... | 2010 | 20843529 |
| antidiarrheal activity of flowers of ixora coccinea linn. in rats. | ixora coccinea linn (rubiaceae), a small shrub cultivated throughout india, has been reported to possess a number of medicinal properties. it has traditionally been used for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery. however the claims of ayurveda have to be validated by suitable experimental models. the present study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of i. coccinea for its antidiarrheal potential against several experimental models of diarrhea in albino wistar rat ... | 2010 | 21731376 |

| can scientific evidence support using bangladeshi traditional medicinal plants in the treatment of diarrhoea? a review on seven plants. | diarrhoea is a common disease which causes pain and may be deadly, especially in developing countries. in bangladesh, diarrhoeal diseases affect thousands of people every year, and children are especially vulnerable. bacterial toxins or viral infections are the most common cause of the disease. the diarrhoea outbreaks are often associated with flood affected areas with contaminated drinking water and an increased risk of spreading the water-borne disease. not surprisingly, plants found in the ne ... | 2013 | 23698166 |
| protection of ornamental gold fish carassius auratus against aeromonas hydrophila by treating ixora coccinea active principles. | herbals such as ixora coccinea, daemia extensa and tridax procumbens were selected to screen in vitro antibacterial and immunostimulant activity against the freshwater fish pathogen aeromonas hydrophila using different organic polar and non-polar solvents. initial screening results revealed that, ethyl acetate extracts and its purified fraction of i. coccinea was able to suppress the a. hydrophila strains at more than 15 mm of zone of inhibition and positive immunostimulant activity. the purifie ... | 2014 | 24380832 |
