Influence of polyvinylpyrrolidone, microcrystalline cellulose and colloidal silicon dioxide on technological characteristics of a high-dose Petiveria alliacea tablet

Abstract

The use of adequate amounts of PVP, MC and CSD as per the factorial design allowed the preparation of a tablet suitable for administration, despite the inappropriate flow and compressibility properties of the P. alliacea powder.

Toxicological evaluation of an aqueous suspension from leaves and stems of Petiveria alliacea L. (Phytolaccaceae)

“…Results of proximate and elemental analysis are shown in Table 5. Value of total ash found for the P. alliacea powder was similar to that recently reported (13.50 vs. 12.04%) for stems and leaves of the plant, indicating a low content of inorganic contaminants (García-Pérez et al, 2017). Volatile compounds were higher in phase C, while phase B showed the most important content of fixed carbon.…”

“…Hemoglobin (g L −1 ) Hematocrit (%) Platelet (× 10 3 mm 3 ) Leukocytes (× 10 9 L −1 ) Neutrophils (× 10 9 L −1 ) Lymphocytes (× 10 9 L −1 ) P. alliacea. The mean value of phenolic content in a powder of P. alliacea leaves and stems was determined to be 0.33% (García-Pérez et al, 2017). These molecules are present as simple phenols, short conjugated systems and polycondensed structures (polymeric tannins).…”

Anamu, moringa, spirulina, and chlorella: Contribution to the quality of life of oncology patients: Results of the postmarketing prospective study performed in Serbia in 2021 - 2022

“…Fitoterapija, kao jedna od alternativnih terapija, pomaže u poboljšanju funkcije imunološkog sistema pacijenta, smanjujući oksidativni stres, čime se usporava napredovanje bolesti, poboljšava nutritivni status, i postiže bolja tolerancija na konvencionalne terapije [11].…”

In particular, properties such as immunostimulation are attributed to tannins, polyphenols and benzyl-2-hydroxy-5-cetyl-trisulfide, which are found in the leaves and young stems of the plant [10,11]. At the National Center for Scientific Research of Cuba, a study was conducted on anamu plant extracts which revealed the presence of elements such as selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and magnesium (Mg), which affect the immune system [10].…”

“…Phytotherapy, as a form of alternative therapy, helps to improve the function of the patient's immune system by reducing oxidative stress, which slows down the progression of the disease, improves nutritional status, and promotes better tolerance to conventional therapies [11].…”
