GC-MS Profiling, Phenolic and Flavonoid Contents, Exploratory Cytotoxicity in MCF-7 Cells and Surrogate Anthelmintic Screening of Zygophyllum propinquum Methanolic Extract

Background: Medicinal plants are important sources of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with potential biological activities. Zygophyllum propinquum is a halophytic medicinal plant whose phytochemical composition and biological properties remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the phytoch...

Bioinspired silver nanoparticles from Barleria lawii leaf extract: phytochemical-mediated synthesis, characterization, and multifunctional properties

Evaluation of the Insecticidal Activity of Cinnamomum verum Bark Extract against the Red Flour Beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

This study was conducted to assess the insecticidal potential of Cinnamomum verum Presl bark extract against the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), a major cosmopolitan pest of stored grain products. Bark powder was macerated in hydroethanolic solvent, concentrated, and freeze-dried, and the extract was ch...

The DPPH test, andcytotoxicity (MTT) evaluation of Cinnamomum verum and Laurus nobilis methanolic extracts on cancer cells in vitro

Herbal plants are traditionally used in Saudi Arabia to treat various illnesses. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitrocytotoxic activity of methanol extracts of two medicinal plants against the human epithelial cell line Caco-2. The selectivity index (SI) of each extract was then determined by the IC50ratio of norm...
