Phytochemical study, antioxidant and vasodilatation activities of leafy stem extracts of Flemingia faginea Guill. & Perr. (Barker), a medicinal plant used for the traditional treatment of arterial hypertension

Phytochemical Profile, Acute Toxicity, Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Hydroethanolic Extracts from Odontonema strictum (Nees) Kuntze (Acanthaceae) Root and Stem

“…"High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) detected saponosides, flavonoids, sterol-triterpenes, and tannins in the two extracts. HPTLC was carried out on chromatoplates (60 F254, 10 x 5 cm, glass support 10 x 20 cm, Merck) [18]. Approximately 20 µL of each extract was streaked with a semi-automatic sample dispenser (CAMAG, Linomat 5, Switzerland) along the baseline 0.8 cm from the bottom edge of the plate.…”

Acute Oral Toxicity and Antispasmodic Effects of Two Extracts of Diospyros mespiliformis Hochst. Ex A. DC. (Ebenaceae) Immature Fruits on the Isolated Rat Duodenum

“…High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) was used to detect flavonoids, tannins, sterol/triterpenes, and saponosides in the two extracts (HE_FDM and AM_FDM). "It was carried out on chromatoplates (60 F254, 10 x 5 cm, glass support 10 x 20 cm, Macherey-Nagel, Germany Merck) following the literature [3,4]. Approximately 20 µL of each extract was streaked with a semi-automatic sample dispenser (CAMAG, Linomat 5, Switzerland) along the baseline 0.8 cm from the bottom edge of the plate.…”

“…"Plants are a widely exploited source of bioactive compounds in alternative and modern medicine. They constitute a useful matrix for identifying phytochemical compounds, which are then optimized by the pharmaceutical industry" [3]. "Burkina Faso offers a great botanical treasure trove, given its geographical and climatic diversity, and is a major source of potentially therapeutic plants for the treatment of diseases with gastrointestinal spasmodic components" [4].…”

Acute Oral Toxicity and Vasorelaxant Effects of Hydroethanolic Extract from <i>Lannea microcarpa</i> Engl. & K. Krause (Anacardiaceae) Trunk Barks in Mice Aortas: Possible Involvement of Intracellular Ca<sup> 2+</sup> Mobilization

“…However, despite improvements in antihypertensive treatments, 20% to 30% of hypertensive patients are resistant to at least three antihypertensive drugs [7]. The use of non-pharmacological treatments, in particular the administration of nutraceutical supplements based on medicinal plants, traditional medicine, and pharmacopeia to lower blood pressure, has developed in recent years [6] [8]. In this context, 80% of the African population uses traditional medicine to treat themselves, including hypertension.…”

“…In this context, 80% of the African population uses traditional medicine to treat themselves, including hypertension. In addition, natural medicines are an alternative to synthetic drugs [8] [9]. It has been suggested that a plant-based diet has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system.…”
