The present study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic assessment of acetone extract of Psidium guajava L. leaves (PGA) by evaluating toxicological and antiulcer properties. Extraction was done sequentially in soxhlet apparatus. For toxicity study, PGA was administered orally to Wistar albino rats at a dose range of 540, 1080 and 2160 mg/kg of body weight. Animals were observed for physiological and behavioral responses, mortality, feed and water intake and body weight changes up to 14 days, thenafter hematological parameters and organ weights were recorded. Antiulcer activity was...

The present work was undertaken to examine the Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) stem extracts, as a source of natural antioxidants and antimicrobics for retarding free radicals as well as infectious diseases. The present work is designed to evaluate the bioactive properties of the crude extract of stem. The antimicrobial study was performed using agar well diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) method against 25 disease causing bacteria. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using 6 different antioxidant assays like...

The present study was designed to assess antimicrobial as well as antioxidant properties of Mangifera indica L. leaves. The antimicrobial study was performed using agar well diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) method against 25 disease causing bacteria. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using 6 different antioxidant assays like 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, superoxide anion radical scavenging assay, ABTS radical cation scavenging assay,...
