| new dihydrophenanthrene and phenyldihydroisocoumarin constituents of trema orientalis. | in the course of the chemical investigation of extracts of the trunk bark and root bark of trema orientalis, three new compounds were isolated, namely, (9s*,10s*)-3-[7-(3,10-dihydroxy-9-hydroxymethyl-2,5-dimethoxy)-9,10-dihydrophenanthrenyl]propenal (1), (9s*,10s*)-3-[7-(5-o-beta-glucopyranosyl-10-hydroxy-9-hydroxymethyl-2,6-dimethoxy)-9,10-dihydrophenanthrenyl]propenal (2), and (3r*,3ar*,4r*,5s*)-6-o-alpha-arabinopyranosyl-8-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl ... | 2001 | 11421759 |
| root hydraulic conductivity and whole-plant water balance in tropical saplings following a shade-to-sun transfer. | we hypothesized that pioneer and late successional species show different morphological and physiological responses in water use after gap formation. the magnitude of the responses was compared between two pioneer species (macaranga gigantea and trema orientalis) and four late successional species (shorea sp.), in an experiment in which saplings were transferred from shade to sun. although transpiration demand increased following the transfer, root hydraulic conductivity (lp(r)) decreased. lp(r) ... | 2004 | 15619094 |
| glucose lowering efficacy of the aqueous stem bark extract of trema orientalis (linn) blume in normal and streptozotocin diabetic rats. | the glucose-lowering efficacy of the aqueous stem bark extract of trema orientalis (ulmaceae) was evaluated both in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. in normoglycemic rats, the single oral administration of the aqueous extract of t. orientalis failed to reduce blood glucose levels while in stz-diabetic rats, the plant extract (38-300 mg/kg) exhibited significant hypoglycaemic activity with a maximum effect of 29.67%, 5 hours after administration of the 75 mg/kg dose when compared ... | 2006 | 16599266 |
| in vitro antiplasmodial activity and toxicity assessment of some plants from nigerian ethnomedicine. | context: the emergence and spread of plasmodium falciparum-resistant parasites to nearly all available antimalarial drugs pose a threat to malaria control and necessitates the need to continue the search for new effective and affordable drugs. ethnomedicine has been shown to be a potential source of antimalarial compounds or source of template for the synthesis of novel antimalarial molecules. objective: the antiplasmodial activity and toxicity assessment of 30 plant extracts from eight medicina ... | 2011 | 20738218 |
| genotoxicity detection of five medicinal plants in nigeria. | this study was performed to investigate the safety of alchornea cordifolia, cnestis ferruginea, lonchocarpus sericeus, trema orientalis, and senna alata in respect to genotoxicity. these five medicinal plants are widely distributed in africa. they are used as a traditional medicine in many african counties for the treatment of microbial, inflammatory, and stress-related diseases. to evaluate the bacterial reverse mutation of these five medicinal plants, the in vitro ames test using salmonella ty ... | 2011 | 21297345 |
| antitrypanosomal activity of some medicinal plants from nigerian ethnomedicine. | human african trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease with complex clinical presentation, diagnosis, and difficult treatment. the available drugs for the treatment of trypanosomiasis are old, expensive, and less effective, associated with severe adverse reactions and face the problem of drug resistance. this situation underlines the urgent need for the development of new, effective, cheap, and safe drugs for the treatment of trypanosomiasis. the search for new antitrypanosomal agents in ... | 2011 | 21789586 |
| mosquito larvicidal potential of four common medicinal plants of india. | mosquitoes transmit serious human health diseases, causing millions of deaths every year. plants may be sources of alternative mosquito control agents. the present study was carried out to assess the role of larvicidal activities of the crude extracts of four plants viz. alternanthera sessilis l. (amaranthaceae), trema orientalis l. (cannabaceae), gardenia carinata smith. (rubiaceae) and ruellia tuberosa l. (acanthaceae) against culex quinquefasciatus say in laboratory bioassay. | 0 | 25222784 |
| medicinal plants of papua new guinea's miu speaking population and a focus on their use of plant-slaked lime mixtures. | here we present the results of an ethnobotanical survey of the medicinal plants used by the miu, a virtually unresearched ethnolinguistic group who live in the mountainous interior of papua new guinea's west new britain province. we compare the findings for those previously reported for the neighbouring inland kaulong speaking population. three species, trema orientalis, spondias dulcis and ficus botryocarpa are used in combination with locally prepared slaked lime to produce intensely coloured ... | 2015 | 26297846 |
| effects of organic extracts and their different fractions of five bangladeshi plants on in vitro thrombolysis. | the increasingly high incidence of ischemic stroke caused by thrombosis of the arterial vessels is one of the major factors that threaten people's health and lives in the world. the present treatments for thrombosis are still unsatisfactory. herbal preparations have been used since ancient times for the treatment of several diseases. the aim of this study was to investigate whether herbal preparations possess thrombolytic activity or not. | 2015 | 25902818 |
