LITERATURE REVIEW ON MORINDA LUCIDA
- April 4, 2020
Antimicrobial activity of Morinda lucida on test lucida leaf may be indicative of the organisms. Overall, results of the present study showed the chloroform fraction of MLE MLE c to be the most effective fraction in glucose and lipids homeostasis in both normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Trypanosoma brucei parasites are kinetoplastid protozoa that devastate the health and economic well-being of millions of people in Africa through the disease human African trypanosomiasis HAT. The rats were housed in polypropylene cages and handled in accordance with international principles guiding the Use and Handling of experimental animals Liquid extract of Morinda lucida leaf has been demonstrated to have antiplasmodial activities. P-glycoprotein mediated efflux in Caco-2 cell monolayers:
Medicinal plants on the other hand are used in the treatment of various infectious diseases although their chemical properties are not fully evaluated. The in vitro effects of extracts of four tropical plants Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides, Newbouldia laevis, Morinda lucida and Carica papaya on the egg, infective larvae and adult worms of Trichostrongylus colubriformis were screened for potential anthelmintic properties. The crude leaf extract of Morinda lucida was investigated for inhibitory activity on Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro using the agar well diffusion method. It also validates its application as a plant used in traditional medicine. This study evaluated the responses of some antioxidant parameters in selected tissues of Plasmodium berghei-infected mice treated with cysteine-stabilized peptide fraction CSPF of aqueous extract of Morinda lucida leaf. J Ethnopharmacol Sep 18; 3:
Cysteine-stabilised peptides CSP are majorly explored for their bioactivities with applications in medicine and agriculture. Rat feed Ladokun Feeds, Ibadan, Nigeria and tap water were provided ad libitum.
Ten already coated glass chromatographic plates were used. The mechanisms literatjre alloxan- and streptozotocin-induced diabetes.
Medicinal plants on the other hand are used in the treatment of various infectious diseases although their chemical properties are not fully evaluated. Thirty aqueous and ethanolic extracts from 13 lucidz plants were evaluated for their antidrepanocytary activity.
Bearing in mind the fact that identifying and isolating the effective extract fractions and isolating active fractions of a liteeature extract may prove better therapeutically and probably less toxic than its crude form, the present study aims to evaluate the antihyperglycaemic profile of the solvent fractions of the ethanolic leaf extract of Morinda lucida Benth in normal and alloxan diabetic rats for 14 days.
Such oxygen free compounds physically are usually volatile and liquids. The plant was identified by taxonomists at the Botany Department University of Ghana who identified the correct species.
The Soxhlet extractive was filtered using a piece of white cotton cloth and the filtrate obtained was completely dried into an aromatic green-brown solid residue over a water-bath. J Ethnopharmacol Literxture 30; The basicity of alkaloids depends on the lone pairs of electrons on their nitrogen atom thus forming salts with mineral acid such as HCl and H 2 SO 4 and organic acids such as tartatric acid or malic acid. A new high performance liquid chromatography HPLC method has been established for quantitative and qualitative literaturre of three tetracyclic iridoids: Acute oral toxicity test was performed to determine the LD 50 ; sub-chronic toxicity study was then carried out by oral administration of different doses of the extract on daily basis to different groups of rats for 42 days.
Scientific lucixa of such herbal combinations to verify the claims is important.
