  • Central Composite Design for Optimizing the Biosynthesis Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Central Composite Design for Optimizing the Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles using Plantago major Extract and Investigating Antibacterial, Antifungal and Antioxidant Activity Ghazal Nikaeen1, Saeed Yousefnejad1 ✉ , Samane Rahmdel2, Fayezeh Samari3 & Saeideh Mahdavinia1 Central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the synthesis condition of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the extract of Plantago major (P. major) seeds via a low cost and single-step process. The aqueous seed extract was applied as both reducing element and capping reagent for green production of AgNPs. Five empirical factors of synthesis including temperature (Temp), pH, volume of P. major extract (Vex), volume of AgNO3 solution (VAg) and synthesis time were used as independent variables of model and peak intensity of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) originated from NPs as the dependent variable. The predicted optimal conditions was determined to be: Temp = 55 °C, pH = 9.9,Vex = 1.5 mL, VAg = 30 mL, time = 60 min. The characterization of the prepared AgNPs at these optimum conditions was conducted by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray difraction (XRD) to determine the surface bio- functionalities. Bio-activity of these AgNPs against bacteria and fungi were evaluated based on its assay against Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli and Penicillium digitatum. Furthermore, antioxidant capacity of these NPs was checked using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Nanotechnology is an important feld of modern research which has been the principal of various technologies and main innovations; and is expected to be the basis of many other outstanding innovations in future.

I (Sep – Oct 2019), PP 05-37 www.Iosrjournals.Org Ethnobotanical Survey of Medicinal Plants Used By the Natives of Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria for the Management of Diabetes Anowi Chinedu Fredrick1 , Uyanwa Ifeanyi Christian1 1 Department of Pharmacognosy and Traditional Medicine, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. Corresponding Author: Anowi Chinedu Fredrick Abstract: Diabetes has been regarded as one of the major health problems wrecking havoc on the people especially the geriatrics. In Umuahia, diabetes is regarded as a serious health problems with high rate of mortality, morbidity and with serious health consequences. Currently plants are used by the natives to treat this disease. Hence the need for this study to ascertain medicinal plants with high cure rate but little side effects as synthetic antidiabetic drugs have been known to be associated with various serious and deleterious side effects. This is therefore a field trip conducted in Umuahia, Nigeria, to determine the various medicinal plants used by the natives in the management of diabetes. Dialogue in the form of semi-structured interview was conducted with the traditional healers (TH). Some of whom were met many times depending on the amount of information available at any given time and to check the already collected information. Information regarding the plants used in the management /treatment of diabetes were collected, the socio-political data of the THs, formulation of remedies, and the symptoms and other ways the THs use to diagnose diabetes.

(greater plantain, common plantain) has been used as a wound healing remedy in different parts of the world for centuries. Different bioactive compounds have been proposed to contribute to the wound healing properties of this plant. The present study was undertaken to investigate the impact of some genetic and environmental factors on the wound healing activity of common plantain. Seeds of P. major were collected from five populations in different parts of Sweden, and were germinated and grown in a greenhouse. As expected for an inbreeding species, RAPD analyses demonstrated considerable between- population variation but very sparse within-population and within- subpopulation variation. Six major phenolic compounds were encountered in samples of P. major, four of which were identified for the first time in this thesis; PLMA 1–PLMA 4. Between-population and sub-population differences in the contents of these chemical compounds showed no correlation with RAPD-based estimates of genetic relatedness.

  • CASCARA SAGRADA.Pdf
    HERBALPEDIA CASCARA SAGRADA summer, and dried for one to two years before use in decoctions, liquid extracts, powders, and tablets. History: Rhamnus is Latin for buckthorns and purshiana after Fredrick Pursh, a German botanist. Cascara sagrada, a name given by Spanish-Mexicans, means sacred bark dating back to the seventeenth century, when it was bestowed on this tree by Spanish and Mexican explorers. Apparently, they were intrigued by the American Indians use of the bark for a wide Frangula purshiana variety of medicinal purposes. It was first listed [FRANG-yoo-luh pur-shee-AH-nuh] in the US Pharmacopoeia in 1890. It is mild (syn Rhamnus purshiana) enough for use in treating children and the elderly. Indiscriminate stripping of bark, Family: Rhamnaceae leading to the destruction of some 100,000 trees a year, was reported as early as 1909. Names: cascara buckthorn, sacred bark, Honey produced from cascara flowers also has chittem bark, bearwood, bearberry, coffeeberry a slight laxative effect. bark, Mountain cranberry bark, bitter bark, Ecorce Sacree, yellow bark, cttim bark, Persian Constituents: astringent compounds, tannin, bark; Kushina, Joster (Russian); Amerikanische bitter compounds (Anthraquinone glycosides); Faulbaumrinde (German); k!labuq!wacbupt emodin glycosides, together with aloin-like (Makah); tatsa’bats (Skagit); k’ladyats glycosides, cascarosides, chrysaloin, (Squaxin) chrysophanol, aloe-emodin, bitter principle, tannins, ferment and resin Description: Lax evergreen shrub or tree, hardy to 5F with a height of 10-40 feet, spread Properties: A bitter, astringent, cooling herb of 10-30 feet with obovate, irregularly toothed, that has a tonic effect on the liver and digestive deeply veined dull green leaves up to 6 inches system, and acts as a laxative; nervine; emetic.

  • Medlcinal PLANTS of JAMAICA. PARTS 1 &
    MEDlCINAL PLANTS OF JAMAICA. PARTS 1 & 11. By G. F. Asprey, M.Sc., Ph.D. (B'ham.), Professor of Botany, U.C.W.l. and Phyllis Thornton, B.Sc. (Liverpool), Botanist Vomiting Sickness Survey. Attached to Botany Depart- ment, U.C.W.l. Reprinted from the West Indian Medical Journal. Vol. 2 No. 4. Vol. 3 No. 1. MEDICINAL PLANTS OF JAMAICA G. F. ASPREY AND PHYLLIS THORNTON PART I The use of local plants for medicinal remedies is a very prevalent practice in Jamaica. Among the poorer families, the morning meal frequently consists of nothing more than a cup of bush-tea prepared by steeping the leaves in hot water, with perhaps a small piece of bread or a little corn meal porridge. It is perhaps significant that the term breakfast is not used but 'taking' or ‘drinking' tea is substituted. Many of the plants used for treatment of colds and indigestion also provide the normal morning drinks. The large number of 'cold', 'fever' (which includes malaria) and 'indigestion' remedies is of some interest as providing a guide to the frequency of these complaints. The claims made for some of the plants may occasionally be justified by their chemical constituents. Some of them are, or have been, in the pharmacopoeias. On the other hand, in many cases the claims either have little justification or remain to be substantiated. Many of the doses used are of an unpleasant and even drastic nature. This may account for their popularity in view of the general impression that medicine must be unpleasant to be efficacious.
