| chemopreventive efficacy and anti-lipid peroxidative potential of jasminum grandiflorum linn. on 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced rat mammary carcinogenesis. | the aim of this study was to investigate the chemopreventive efficacy and anti-lipid peroxidative potential of jasminum grandiflorum linn. on 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (dmba)-induced rat mammary carcinogenesis. mammary tumors were developed by a single subcutaneous injection of 25 mg dmba in 1 ml emulsion of sunflower oil and physiological saline. the tumor incidence and tumor volume that formed in the breast were determined. oral administration of ethanolic extract of j. grandiflorum flowe ... | 2005 | 16313281 |
| antiulcer and in vitro antioxidant activities of jasminum grandiflorum l. | the study was aimed at evaluating the antiulcer and antioxidant activities of 70% ethanolic axtract of leaves of jasminum grandiflorum l. (jgle). the leaves of jasminum grandiflorum l. (family: oleaceae) is used in folk medicine for treating ulcerative stomatitis, skin diseases, ulcers, wounds, corns - a hard or soft hyperkeratosis of the sole of the human foot secondary to friction and pressure (stedman's medical dictionary, 28th ed. lippincott williams & wilkins, philadelphia. p. 443), etc., a ... | 2007 | 17125945 |
| influence of ethanolic extract of jasminum grandflorum linn flower on wound healing activity in rats. | the influence of flower extract of jasminum grandiflorum was studied for its wound healing activity at a dose of 250 mg/kg body weight, using excision and dead space wound models in rats. the animals were divided into three groups in excision wound model, the controls (n=10) were treated with 0.25% cm cellulose, reference standard (n=10) were treated with sulfathiazole ointment and the experimental (n=10) were treated with extract of j. grandiflorum flower till complete epithelialization. the an ... | 2007 | 18175666 |
| methanolic extract of leaves of jasminum grandiflorum linn modulates oxidative stress and inflammatory mediators. | the leaves of jasminum grandiflorum (jg) are in clinical use in ayurveda for wound management. since, oxidative stress and inflammation are the primary causes in delayed wound healing, so here its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities have been investigated using in vitro as well as in vivo models. the solvent-free methanolic extract of dried leaves of jg were tested for its trapping capacity toward pre-generated abts(ôçó+) radicals, instantly generated superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, a ... | 2011 | 21701798 |
| ephedra alte (joint pine): an invasive, problematic weedy species in forestry and fruit tree orchards in jordan. | a field survey was carried out to record plant species climbed by ephedra alte in certain parts of jordan during 2008-2010. forty species of shrubs, ornamental, fruit, and forest trees belonging to 24 plant families suffered from the climbing habit of e. alte. growth of host plants was adversely affected by e. alte growth that extended over their vegetation. in addition to its possible competition for water and nutrients, the extensive growth it forms over host species prevents photosynthesis, s ... | 2012 | 22645486 |
| antimicrobial effect of jasminum grandiflorum l. and hibiscus rosa-sinensis l. extracts against pathogenic oral microorganisms--an in vitro comparative study. | to assess and compare the antimicrobial potential and determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of jasminum grandiflorum and hibiscus rosa-sinensis extracts as potential anti-pathogenic agents in dental caries. | 2015 | 24046822 |
| exploratory studies on the in vitro anti-inflammatory potential of two herbal teas (annona muricata l. and jasminum grandiflorum l.), and relation with their phenolic composition. | the need of new anti-inflammatory drugs has led to the search for safer and more potent molecules in distinct sources, such as natural products. this work aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory potential of aqueous extracts from two herbal teas (annona muricata l. and jasminum grandiflorum l.) in raw 264.7 macrophages cells and in cell-free assays. furthermore, the phenolic composition of both extracts and of their hydrolysates was characterized by hplc-dad, in order to establish possible relati ... | 2017 | 28256049 |
