(fractions a1 + a2, a1, a2) on activity of the proteolytic enzymes elastase, trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin. extracts from ribes nigrum l. and alchemilla vulgaris l. (fraction a1) inhibited 50% of the activity of porcine pancreas elastase at concentrations of 0.56 mg/ml and 0.16 mg/ml, respectively, against a synthetic substrate. inhibition was less effective on activity o ... | 1986 | 3635653 |
| antimicrobial activity of bark extracts of syzygium jambos (l.) alston (myrtaceae). | syzygium jambos (l.) alston (myrtaceae) is a widespread medicinal plant traditionally used in sub-saharan africa to treat infectious diseases. acetone and aqueous extracts from the bark of s. jambos were tested for antimicrobial activity in vitro by the agar dilution method in petri dishes. both extracts showed some activity against the tested micro-organisms. they proved to be particularly effective on staphylococcus aureus, yersinia enterocolitica and coagulase negative staphylococci among whi ... | 2000 | 10904178 |

| correlation between the in vitro antioxidant activity and polyphenol content of aqueous extracts from bulgarian herbs. | the water phase antioxidant activity of extracts from 23 bulgarian medicinal plants was studied in relation to their polyphenol content in comparison with mate, black tea, honeybush and rooibos foreign species. antioxidant activity was measured by the abts (2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) cation radical decolorization assay, and the total polyphenol content was assayed according to the folin-ciocalteu method. five bulgarian plant extracts exhibited higher antioxidant activ ... | 2006 | 16906640 |
| effects of alchemilla vulgaris and glycerine on epithelial and myofibroblast cell growth and cutaneous lesion healing in rats. | wound-healing properties have been suggested for alchemilla vulgaris. since epithelial and myofibroblast cell growth is required for wound healing, the effects of a. vulgaris on cell growth were investigated in chang liver and madin darby bovine kidney (mdbk) epithelial cell lines and rat aortic myofibroblast cultures. putative healing properties were investigated on dorsal circular 8 mm excisional skin lesions in adult male rats. cell numbers increased with 0.1-1% a. vulgaris, attaining 21.3 +/ ... | 2007 | 17236169 |

| effect of alchemilla vulgaris extract on the structure and function of erythrocyte membranes during experimental arterial hypertension. | the course of treatment with alchemilla vulgaris extract increased the concentrations of lipids and phospholipids in erythrocyte membranes, decreased the number of abnormal erythrocytes, and improved deformability of red blood cells in rats with arterial hypertension. | 2006 | 17364056 |
| study of the refirming effect of a plant complex. | loss of skin elasticity is one of the main problems of ageing. this is a mechanical property influenced by elastin, a protein in the dermis which, together with collagen and glycosaminoglycans, makes up the connective tissue. this tissue is affected by a large number of events (such as cutaneous ageing, pregnancy, slimming processes and cellulitis) which eventually cause it to change. at the same time, the metabolism of the proteins of the connective tissue decreases and there is an ever greater ... | 1998 | 18505506 |
| weight loss in animals and humans treated with 'weighlevel', a combination of four medicinal plants used in traditional arabic and islamic medicine. | weighlevel, a mixture of extract of four plants used in traditional arabic and islamic medicine as well as in european herbal medicine, was prepared and assessed for its safety and efficacy in weight loss. leaves of alchemilla vulgaris, olea europaea and mentha longifolia l., as well as seeds of cuminum cyminum, were used. cultured human fibroblasts treated with weighlevel did not exhibit any sign of toxicity as evidenced by lactate dehydrogenase release. these results were confirmed in experime ... | 2008 | 18952688 |
