<p>In the present work methanolic and water extracts of 19 medicinal plants, commonly used in Sudanese folk medicines against gastrointestinal tract, infectious diseases were investigated for their antioxidant activity. Antioxidant assays were carried out by using different in vitro models such as DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging and Iron chelating activity. Methanolic and water extracts of <em>Punica granatum </em>showed the highest total antioxidant activity of 71±0.03 and 73±0.01 respectively. The antioxidant activities of water extracts were poor when compared to the methanol extract. The iron chelating power of methanol and aqueous extracts of <em>Commiphora myrrha</em> 58±0.01 and <em>Azadirachta indica</em> 57±0.20 respectively.</p>

N. nuciferais one among the important medicinal plants assessed for its antiobesity action in various preclinical models. The present study was aimed at investigating the antiobesity effect of methanol and successive water extracts of petals ofN. nuciferaby studying its effect on adipogenesis, adipolysis, lipase, serotonin (5-HT2C), cannabinoid (CNR2), melanocyte concentrating hormone (MCHR1), and melanocortin (MC4R) receptors. Both methanol and successive water extracts ofN. nuciferapetals had an effect on inhibition of lipid storage in adipocytes and on increasing lipolysis.N. nuciferapetal methanol extract exhibited the concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on lipase activity with an IC50value of 47 µg/mL.N. nuciferapetal extracts showed evident agonist and antagonist activity towards 5-HT2Cand CNR2receptors, respectively, while it showed no effect towards MCHR1and MC4R receptors. Overall, methanol extract ofN. nuciferapetals showed better activity than successive water extract.

Abstract A description is provided for Synchytrium macrosporum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Karling (1964) lists the following hosts: Amaranthus berlandia, Ambrosia aptera, A. psilostachya, A. trifida, Ammi majus, Croton monanthogynus, Erigeron canadensis, Helenium tenuifolium, Iva ciliata, Modiola caroliniana, Nandina dornestica, Oenothera laciniata, Parthenium hysterophorus, Phyla incisa, Ratibida pinata, Riccinus communis, Rubus trivialis, Solanum elaegnifolium, Specularia perfoliata, Torilis japonica, Vicia faba, Vigna sinensis, Xanthium strumarium. However, experimentally infected hosts total over 1483 species in more than 933 genera of 185 families (57, 2425). DISEASE: Lavender-red galls develop on the leaves and stems of hosts. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America (Texas). TRANSMISSION: No reports, but presumably by dissemination of resting spores, with local dispersal by zoospores swimming in water films.
