“…24 Ethanolic leaf extract of O. basilicum decreased the lipid peroxidation concentration in parasitized mice. 25 Changes in the concentration of proline have been observed in many studies on drought stressed rice. [26][27][28] Proline accumulation may be considered as an indicator of drought susceptibility.…”

Ocimum leaves are highly enriched in antioxidant components. Thus, its leaf extract, if applied in plants, is believed to efficiently scavenge ROS, thereby preventing oxidative damage under drought stress. Thus, the present study was performed in kharif 2013 and rabi 2014 season to evaluate the effect of aqueous leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum against drought stress in 2 rice genotype under glass house conditions. Here we show that various morpho-physiological (chlorophyll fluorescence, leaf rolling score, leaf tip burn, number of senesced leaves and total dry matter) and biochemical parameters (proline, malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase content) were amended by Ocimum treatment in both the seasons. Application of Ocimum extract increased expression of dehydrin genes, while reducing expression of aquaporin genes in drought stressed rice plant. Thus, application of Ocimum leaf extract under drought stress can be suggested as a promising strategy to mitigate drought stress in economical, accessible and ecofriendly manner.

“…It contains many bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, terpenes, ellagitannins, etc. However, there are still few studies about the applications of its extracts in the composition of biofilms (SAKR et al, 2011;AGBAFOR et al, 2015;PRABAKARAN, 2018). Its antioxidant activity makes it a target of pharmacological interest for studies concerning the healing process (PURUSHOTHAMAN et al, 2018).…”

The skin acts as a protective barrier for the body. Significant functional limitations can occur when damaged, such as pain and infections. This study aims to develop hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) films incorporated with Ocimum basilicum L. (OB) extract for wound healing. The plant extract was prepared, followed by production and morphological evaluation of the films determining, for example, water vapor transmission, swelling index, solubility, and antioxidant activity. The films were macroscopically homogeneous, transparent, flexible, and resistant, with an average thickness of 157 μm. They also showed high hydrophilicity due to the polarity of the polymer, soluble in aqueous media, with a good degree of swelling (1.254 % for HPMC + OB 15 %) and good permeability to water vapor (1.467% for the control film), with a light decrease after incorporation of the extract. However, adding the extract increased the antioxidant activity significantly, around 50%, compared to the control film. Thus, it proves to be a promising dressing for wound healing due to the good physical characteristics of the polymer, combined with the antioxidant activity of the extract.
