Anthelmintic Activity of Punicalagin from nogeissus Leiocarpus [PDF]
Universal Journal of Plant Science, 2015 Leaves of Anogeissus leiocarpus Guill. & Perr. have been traditionally used as an African botanical treatment for parasitic worm infections in both humans and livestock. This current study documents the presence of punicalagin isomers (α & β) and its galloyl ester, 1-O-galloyl-punicalagin as major components in the leaf extract of A.

Pomegranate ellagitannins inhibit α-glucosidase activity in vitro and reduce starch digestibility under simulated gastro-intestinal conditions [PDF]
, 2014 Pomegranate extract was tested for its ability to inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity. Pomegranate extract strongly inhibited rat intestinal α-glucosidase in vitro whereas it was a weak inhibitor of porcine α-amylase. The inhibitory activity was

Punicalagin Induces Serum Low‐Density Lipoprotein Influx to Macrophages [PDF]
Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2016 High levels of circulating low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) are a primary initiating event in the development of atherosclerosis. Recently, the antiatherogenic effect of polyphenols has been shown to be exerted via a mechanism unrelated to their antioxidant capacity and to stem from their interaction with specific intracellular or plasma proteins. In this

Foliar Application of a Biostimulant Based on Fermented Pomegranate Waste Increases Tomato Yield in Greenhouse. [PDF]
Scientifica (Cairo)The use of biostimulants can help to mitigate the conditions of biotic and abiotic stresses in crops by enhancing the crop yield and product nutrients. The novelty of this research was to produce a biostimulant for the tomato cultivation through fermentation of pomegranate waste, evaluating in the crop the effect on the growth, development, and quality
