TL;DR: Preliminary antimicrobial screening against Candida albicans and selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria of methanol extracts prepared from eight Mexican medicinal plants, noted for their antiseptic properties, was conducted, finding significant activity exhibited for extracts of Ratibida latipalearis, Teloxys graveolens, Dodonaea viscosa, Hyptis albida, H. pectinata and H. verticillata.

TL;DR: In the acute toxicity studies in mice performed according to the Lorke procedure, Exostema caribaeum, Hippocratea excelsa, Ligusticum porteri and Poliomintha longiflora were the most toxic with LD(50) values between 1085 and 2mg/kg.

TL;DR: SAC ameliorates the GM-induced ARF by a mechanism related, at least in part, to its ability to decrease oxidative stress and to preserve antioxidant enzymes activity in renal cortex.

TL;DR: A.M. Pereda-Miranda et al. as mentioned in this paper used liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) to identify biologically active compounds from medicinal plants in Mexico.

TL;DR: It is concluded that alpha-mangostin is able to scavenge directly several ROS and has a neuroprotective effect against 3-NP in primary cultures of CGNs, which is associated with its ability to ameliorate 3- NP-induced ROS production.
