Against growing male infertility in the world, investigations are undertaken to find new bioactive molecules. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacological effects of aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea on the reproductive parameters of male rats. Indeed, 36 male rats were divided into 2 groups of 18 each and treated for 30 days (set I) and 60 days (set II). Each set was subdivided into three groups. Group 1 (control) received distilled water. Groups 2 and 3 were treated with 50 (AECF 50 ) and 100 (AECF 100 ) mg/kg body weight of the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea respectively. The results showed that extract induces significant increase in the wet

The emergence of multi-drug resistant strains and limitations of present antimicrobial drugs have led to continuous search for natural products as curative agents for Anti-methicillin resistantinfections. The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of an ethanolic extract from Albizia lebbeckstem bark against Anti-methicillin resistant. Methods and Results : The methods of dissemination swab on muller-hinton agar and double dilution were used to evaluate the antibacterial activity of 70 % ethanolic extract of stem bark of Albizia lebbeck.All multi-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus and the reference strain (ATCC 25923) were sensitive to 70 % ethanolic extract of the stem bark of Albizia lebbeck. The MBCvary from 0,49 mg/mL to 2mg/mL. Also, the phytochemical screening of this extract revealed the presence of Polyphenols, Gallic tannins, Catechin tanninsand Flavonoids. These findings confirm that an 70 % ethanolic extract from Albizia lebbeck stem bark inhibited growth of Anti-methicillin resistant at low concentration and could be utilised as an alternative Anti-methicillin resistantagent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
