Larvicidal activities of three plants against filarial vector Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae).

29 Jul 2009 The present study was carried out to establish the larvicidal properties of crude extracts of three plants, viz. Carica papaya, Murraya paniculata and Cleistanthus collinus against Culex quinquefasciatus as target species. The relative efficacy of ... Read more...

Murrayakoeninol--a new carbazole alkaloid from Murraya koenigii (Linn) Spreng.

27 Feb 2009 A new carbazole alkaloid, designated as murrayakoeninol, was isolated from the leaves of Murraya koenigii (Linn) Spreng, along with four known carbazole alkaloids, viz. mahanimbine, koenimbine, O-methylmurrayamine-A and murrayazolinine and one from ... Read more...

Studies on Indian green leafy vegetables for their antioxidant activity.

27 Feb 2009 To identify the potential of green leafy vegetables (GLV) as antioxidants, methanolic extracts of Amaranthus sp., Centella asiatica, Murraya koenigii and Trigonella foenum graecum were studied for their antioxidant activity in different systems at ... Read more...
