The use of folkloric medicine has been the tradition of Indian therapeutics since time immemorial. Many plant and their parts have been used as a remedy for various diseases. Alstonia is one of the most important genus of Apocynaceae... more
This review summarizes research carried out on Jamaican medicinal plants at the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science, The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, Jamaica, between 1948 and 2001. The plants identified as being medicinal... more
Black goji berry (Lycium ruthenicum) or black wolfberry is a nutritious fruit that contains a higher anthocyanin content compared to other berries such as blackberry and blueberry. The special quality of black goji berry anthocyanins is... more
The emergence of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as endodontic repair filling material has generated a lot of interest due to its superior sealing ability and biocompatibility. Although MTA possesses superior sealing ability to... more
The genus Rhus (family: Anacardiaceae, order: Sapindales) consists of more than 250 species distributed in the tropics, subtropics and temperate regions. Traditionally, extracts and products from Rhus species are regarded as important... more
Orthopedic implants, such as those made of stainless steel, cobalt (Co)-based alloys and titanium (Ti) alloys, are commonly used to stabilize, protect, improve, replace or regenerate damaged musculoskeletal tissues both anatomically and... more
Natural products historically have been a rich source of lead molecules in drug discovery, based on their capability to create unique and diverse chemical structures. However, it is also true that the vast number of metabolites typically... more
Seaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned and studied bioactivities so... more
MgO/ZnO composite coatings were successfully prepared on AZ91 Mg alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method using electrolytes containing ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) to extend their biomedical applications. The effect of the... more
Globally, there are eight species of Avicennia with five species (A. alba, A. integra, A. marina, A. officinalis & A. rumphiana) in East Africa and Indo-Pacific, and three species (A. bicolor, A. germinans & A. schaueriana) in the New... more
In an attempt to find a new class of antimicrobial and antitubercular agent, a new series of chalcone, acetyl pyrazoline and amino pyrimidine bearing 1,3,5- triazine nucleus were synthesized with appropriate chemical reagent. Chalcones... more
Seaweeds have received huge interest in recent years given their promising potentialities. Their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, hypolipemic, and anticoagulant effects are among the most renowned and studied bioactivities so... more
A major problem in the field of hard tissue engineering is to develop a biomaterial which could allow the organ to regenerate itself completely by biological fixation. Silicate bioceramics are new hope in this field. Nanocrystalline... more
Thesis Title: Bioactive substances from seaweeds "Studies on biological activities of α-L-rhamnose from Grateloupia lithophila (Borgesen-C.A. Agardh, 1822)"
Previous reports indicate the use of the aquatic fern Azolla as medicinal plant in New Zealand and Tanzania against sore throat and cough, respectively. Therefore, the aims were to evaluate the bioactivity of Azolla organic and aqueous... more
Silphion was an ancient medicinal gum-resin; most likely obtained from a Ferula species growing in the Cyrene region of Libya ca. 2500 years ago. Due to its therapeutic properties and culinary value, silphion became the main economic... more
A B S T R A C T Free, esterified, and insoluble-bound phenolics were extracted from selected lentil culti-vars. Total phenolics, flavonoids and proanthocyanidin contents were determined. Catechin, epicatechin and procyanidins B were... more
tMultiphase hybrid materials were synthesized using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as bioactive poly-mer, silica gel as matrix assisted networks and calcium phosphate as inorganic mineral phase. Thesehybrids were investigated with infrared... more
Sol-gel glasses in quaternary silica–sodium–calcium–phosphorous systems have been synthesized using a rotary evaporator for rapid drying without ageing. This novel fast drying method drastically decreases the total drying and ageing time... more
