| experimental evaluation of pentas lanceolata flowers for wound healing activity in rats. | the ethanolic extract of the flowers of pentas lanceolata given by oral route to rats at dose of 150 mg kg(-1) day(-1) for 10 days, was studied for its effect on wound healing, using excision wound mode. significant increase in granulation tissue weight, tensile strength, hydroxyproline and glycosaminoglycan content was observed. moderate increase in protein content was seen. there was significant reduction in the wound area measurement of the test group as compared to that of controls. the effi ... | 2005 | 16236462 |
| evaluation of boric acid sugar baits against aedes albopictus (diptera: culicidae) in tropical environments. | attractive toxic sugar bait (active ingredient, 1% boric acid) was evaluated against aedes albopictus skuse populations in the laboratory, semi-field trials, and field trials in residential communities in st. augustine, florida. laboratory evaluations of boric acid sugar baits applied to the plant pentas lanceolata (rubiaceae) demonstrated 100 and 92% mortality of a. albopictus at day 7 and 14, respectively. a semi-field study evaluating the bait application to the upperside or topside of leaves ... | 2013 | 23388730 |
| Antiplasmodial Quinones from Pentas longiflora and Pentas lanceolata. | The dichloromethane/methanol (1?:?1) extracts of the roots of PENTAS LONGIFLORA and PENTAS LANCEOLATA showed low micromolar (IC (50)?=?0.9-3?µg/mL) IN VITRO antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-resistant (W2) and chloroquine-sensitive (D6) strains of PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM. Chromatographic separation of the extract of PENTAS LONGIFLORA led to the isolation of the pyranonaphthoquinones pentalongin ( 1) and psychorubrin ( 2) with IC (50) values below 1?µg/mL and the naphthalene derivati ... | 2011 | 21979929 |
