| platelet aggregation inhibitors from the seeds of swietenia mahagoni: inhibition of in vitro and in vivo platelet-activating factor-induced effects of tetranortriterpenoids related to swietenine and swietenolide. | the ether extract from the seeds of swietenia mahagoni jacq. (meliaceae) was found to inhibit platelet-activating factor (paf)-induced platelet aggregation. systematic separation of the extract afforded twenty eight tetranortriterpenoids related to swietenine and swietenolide. among them, several new compounds, named swietemahonin a, d, e, and g and 3-o-acetylswietenolide and 6-o-acetylswietenolide, showed a strong inhibition against paf-induced aggregation in vitro and in vivo assays. | 1991 | 2062958 |
| effects of herbivory by diaprepes abbreviatus (coleoptera: curculionidae) larvae on four woody ornamental plant species. | the hypothesis that herbivory by diaprepes root weevil larvae reduces leaf gas exchange and biomass was tested on buttonwood (conocarpus erectus l.), surinam cherry (eugenia uniflora l.), mahogany (swietenia mahagoni jacq.), and pond apple (annona glabra l). for surinam cherry, net co2 assimilation, transpiration, and stomatal conductance, but not internal co2 concentration (collectively referred to as leaf gas exchange values), were 7-32% higher in noninfested than infested plants. for buttonwo ... | 2009 | 19610430 |
| phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of swietenia mahagoni crude methanolic seed extract. | the present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of swietenia mahagoni crude methanolic (smcm) seed extract. the antimicrobial activity of the oily extract against gram-positive, gram-negative, yeast and fungus strains was evaluated based on the inhibition zone using disc diffusion assay, minimal inhibition concentration (mic) and minimal bactericidal concentration (mbc) values. the crude extract was subjected to various phytochemicals analysis. the demonstrated qualitativ ... | 2009 | 20237441 |
| antidiabetic and antioxidant activity of swietenia mahagoni in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. | swietenia mahagoni l. jacq. (meliaceae) is a medium to large evergreen tree native to southern florida, cuba, the bahamas, hispaniola, and jamaica. | 2010 | 20731547 |
| antidiabetic potentiality of the aqueous-methanolic extract of seed of swietenia mahagoni (l.) jacq. in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male albino rat: a correlative and evidence-based approach with antioxidative and antihyperlipidemic activities. | antidiabetic, antioxidative, and antihyperlipidemic activities of aqueous-methanolic (2 : 3) extract of swietenia mahagoni (l.) jacq. (family meliaceae) seed studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. feeding with seed extract (25 mg 0.25 ml distilled water(-1)100 gm b.w.(-1)rat(-1) day(-1)) for 21 days to diabetic rat lowered the blood glucose level as well as the glycogen level in liver. moreover, activities of antioxidant enzymes like catalase, peroxidase, and levels of the products of ... | 2010 | 20981322 |
| brine shrimp lethality and acute oral toxicity studies on swietenia mahagoni (linn.) jacq. seed methanolic extract. | the seeds of swietenia mahagoni have been applied in folk medicine for the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, malaria, amoebiasis, cough, chest pain, and intestinal parasitism. here we are the first to report on the toxicity of the swietenia mahagoni crude methanolic (smcm) seed extract. | 2010 | 21808570 |
| germination and initial growth of tree seedlings on deforested and natural forest soil at dulhazara, bangladesh. | the destruction of natural forest is increasing due to urbanization, industrialization, settlement and for the agricultural expansion over last few decades, and studies for their recovery need to be undertaken. with this aim, this comparative study was designed to see the effects of deforested soil on germination and growth performance of five different tree species. in the experiment, five species namely gmelina arborea, swietenia mahagoni, dipterocarpus turbinatus, acacia auriculiformis and sy ... | 2012 | 23342503 |
| evaluation of artificial diets for attacus atlas (lepidoptera: saturniidae) in yogyakarta special region, indonesia. | the objective of this research was to evaluate artificial diets that can be used to successfully culture the atlas silk moth, attacus atlas l. (lepidoptera: saturniidae) indoors. four plant species were evaluated as the basic component of each diet, barringtonia (barringtonia asiatica), cheesewood (nauclea orientalis), soursop (annona muricata), and mahogany (swietenia mahagoni). evaluation of the nutritional value of each diet was determined by an analysis of the hemolymph proteins of sixth ins ... | 2013 | 24498735 |
| traditional medicinal plants used for the treatment of diabetes in rural and urban areas of dhaka, bangladesh--an ethnobotanical survey. | the usage of medicinal plants is traditionally rooted in bangladesh and still an essential part of public healthcare. recently, a dramatically increasing prevalence brought diabetes mellitus and its therapy to the focus of public health interests in bangladesh. we conducted an ethnobotanical survey to identify the traditional medicinal plants being used to treat diabetes in bangladesh and to critically assess their anti-diabetic potentials with focus on evidence-based criteria. | 2013 | 23800215 |
| in vitro indications for favourable non-additive effects on ruminal methane mitigation between high-phenolic and high-quality forages. | feeding plants containing elevated levels of polyphenols may reduce ruminal ch₄ emissions, but at the expense of nutrient utilisation. there might, however, be non-additive effects when combining high-phenolic plants with well-digestible, high-nutrient feeds. to test whether non-additive effects exist, the leaves of carica papaya (high in dietary quality, low in polyphenols), clidemia hirta (high in hydrolysable tannins), swietenia mahagoni (high in condensed tannins) and eugenia aquea (high in ... | 2013 | 22630827 |
