Protein glycation inhibitory activities of Lawsonia inermis and its active principles.

30 Jan 2009 The protein glycation inhibitory activity of ethanolic extract of Lawsonia inermis (henna) plant tissues was evaluated in vitro using the model system of bovine serum albumin and glucose. Protein oxidation and glycation are posttranslational ... Read more...

Chemical fingerprinting of Lawsonia inermis L. using HPLC, HPTLC and densitometry.

30 Oct 2008 INTRODUCTION: Lawsonia inermis L. is a natural red colouring agent, commonly named "Henna", which is used to dye skin and hair. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of L. inermis that is commercially available as a raw plant material or ... Read more...

Biological synthesis of silver and gold nanoparticles using apiin as reducing agent.

28 Sep 2008 We report a novel strategy for the biological synthesis of anisotropic gold and quasi-spherical silver nanoparticles by using apiin as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The size and shape of the nanoparticles can be controlled by varying the ratio ... Read more...
