| toxicological evaluation of pooled selected fractions of mimosa invisa and protective effect of herbal decoction. | the study was undertaken to evaluate the toxicity produced by the pooled selected fractions of mimosa invisa in rabbits. an attempt was made to protect the animal from the toxicity using a decoction containing hygrophila auriculata, tribulus terrestris and boerhaavia diffusa. eighteen adult rabbits were divided into three groups of six animals each. group i served as control. group ii received pooled fraction of m. invisa at 0.4 g/kg orally. group iii was administered with pooled fraction along ... | 2011 | 21430929 |
| a new fatty aldol ester from the aerial part of mimosa invisa (mimosaceae). | a new aldol ester named 17-o-triacontanoylheptadecanal (1) was isolated from the aerial part of mimosa invisa (mimosaceae) together with eight known compounds identified as β-sitosterol (2), α-amyrine (3), lupeol (4), 4'-o-methylepinumisoflavone (5), alpinumisoflavone (6), betulinic acid (7), 3-o-β-d-glucopyranoside of sitosterol (8) and epirobinetinidol (9). the structures of compounds were determined on the basis of nmr and mass spectrometry data as well as by comparing the data reported in th ... | 2011 | 22117104 |
| potent hypoglycemic effect of nigerian anti-diabetic medicinal plants. | the objective of this paper was to investigate the phytochemistry and hypoglycemic activities of aqueous extracts of anisopus mannii, daniella olivieri, detarium macrocarpum, leptedenia hastate and mimosa invisa, traditionally prescribed for diabetes mellitus. the aqueous extracts were tested for phytochemicals and free radical scavenging activity by the dpph assay. the antidiabetic tests were performed in normoglycemic and alloxan induced diabetic mice. high intensity of saponins, xanthones, ta ... | 2011 | 22754948 |
