Comparative study of phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antimicrobial capacities of fresh and dry leaves crude plant extracts of Datura metel L

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated and compared the phytochemical screening, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of different crude extracts from dry and fresh leaves of Datura metel L. The results showed that all the crude extracts did not show positive results for steroids and triterpenoid compounds.

Characterizing the antioxidant activity of amla (Phyllanthus emblica) extract

TL;DR: It was observed that the amla extract acts as a very good antioxidant against γ-radiationinduced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes and to inhibit the damage to antioxidant enzyme SOD.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles with Dalbergia spinosa leaves and their applications in biological and catalytic activities

TL;DR: In this article, the phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by Dalbergia spinosa leaves (DSL) in aqueous extract was investigated, and the results showed that the increase in the initial extract concentration at room temperature increased the mean size and widened the size distribution of the AgNPs, leading to a red shift and broadening the surface plasmon resonance absorption.
