Preliminary evaluation of the suspending properties of Brachystegia eurycoma gum on metronidazole suspension

International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, 2014
The aim of this study was to evaluate the suspending properties of Brachystegia eurycoma gum on metronidazole suspension. The suspending properties of Brachystegia eurycoma gum (family leguminosae) were evaluated comparatively with that of compound tragacanth powder at concentration range of 2.5 – 10.0%w/v in metronidazole suspension.

Comparative Study of the Physicochemical Characterization of Some Oils as Potential Feedstock for Biodiesel Production

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Physicochemical properties of Cucurbita pepo, Brachystegia eurycoma, Cucumis melo, Luffa cylindrica, and Arachis hypogaea oils were studied to determine their potential as viable feedstock for biodiesel production. The nonedible oils were extracted by solvent extraction using n‐hexane while the oil of Arachis hypogaea was procured.

Qualitative and Quantitative Phytochemical Composition of Brachystegia Eurycoma Root, Leaf and Stem Bark

Advances in Bioengineering and Biomedical Science Research, 2020
This study assesses the phytochemical screening of Brachystegia eurycoma root, leaf and bark using aqueous solvent. Phytochemical screening was conducted to determine the presence of natural products (alkaloids, tannins, steroid, saponin, phenol, carbohydrate, flavonoid, terpenoid, triterpenoids, quinone and cardial glycoside) using standard procedure.

Growth inhibitory and cytotoxic effects of the methanol extract of Brachystegia eurycoma Harms (Fabaceae) leaves

Journal of Pharmacy & Bioresources, 2011
Brachystegia eurycoma Harms (Fabaceae) is used Nigeria for its anti-inflammatory, anti-malaria, anti-diabetics, and antihypertensive properties in combination with other plants. The seeds have particularly served as thickener in certain soups like ‘egusi’ and ‘ogbono’ in the eastern part of Nigeria.

Evaluation of Brachystegia Eurycoma Leaves Extract as a Source of Green Inhibitor for Mild Steel in Acid Solution

, 2023
Abstract The aim of this work is to investigate the corrosion inhibition of B. eurycoma leaves extract as a natural inhibitor for mild steel corrosion in 1 M H2SO4 solution. The corrosion inhibition activity was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization.
