El presente estudio evaluó la capacidad antioxidante de los extractos de dieciséis plantas medicinales: escoba amarga (Parthenium hysterophons), ajenjo (Artemisia absinthium), guarumo (t), chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa), borraja (Borago officinalis), balsa (Ochroma sp.), linaza (Linum usitatissimum), hierba Luisa (Cymbopogon citratus), toronjil (Melissa officinalis), buganvilla (Bougainvillea spectabilis), alcachofa (Cynara scolymus), guaviduca (Piper carpunya), altamisa (Ambrosia cumanensis), diente de león (Taxacum officinales), buscapina (Parietaria officinalis) y moringa (Moringa oleifera). Para ello, se usó el método DPPH (radical 1,1-difenil-2-picrilhidrazil); además, se realizaron ensayos de reconocimiento de metabolitos secundarios a fin de obtener los primeros indicios de compuestos de interés fitoquímico. La actividad captadora de radicales libres de los extractos se expresó como valor de IC50 (μg/mL) (cantidad necesaria para inhibir la formación de radicales DPPH en un 50%). El valor bajo de IC50 refleja mejor acción eliminadora de radicales libres. Aunque la mayoría de las muestras evaluadas mostraron buena capacidad antioxidante con este método (DPPH), los ensayos de los extractos hidro-alcohólicos demuestran que la alcachofa (IC50 9,89 μg/mL), moringa (IC50 11,4 μg/mL) y borraja (IC50 14,0 μg/mL) presentaron mayor capacidad antioxidante. Mediante las pruebas químicas de caracterización, se detectó la presencia de flavonoides, taninos, triterpenos, alcaloides y saponinas en la mayoría de las especies analizadas (aproximadamente 56-69%); tan sólo un 20% de las mismas mostró la presencia de polifenoles, glucósidos cianogénicos, lactonas, cumarinas, esteroles y antraquinonas. Según los resultados, se podría considerar a estas plantas como fuentes prometedoras de metabolitos secundarios con actividad antioxidante.  ABSTRACTThis study evaluated the antioxidant capacity of sixteen medicinal plants: Escoba amarga (Parthenium hysterophons), ajenjo (Artemisia absinthium), guarumo (Cecropia obtusifolia), chaya (Cnidoscolus chayamansa), borraja (Borago officinalis), balsa (Ochroma sp.), linaza (Linum usitatissimum), hierba Luisa (Cymbopogon citratus), toronjil (Melissa officinalis), buganvilla (Bougainvillea spectabilis), alcachofa (Cynara scolymus), guaviduca (Piper carpunya), altamisa (Ambrosia cumanensis), diente de León (Taxacum officinales), buscapina (Parietaria officinalis)and moringa (Moringa oleifera). For this, the DPPH (radical 1, 1-difenil-2-picrilhidrazil) method was used; furthermore, recognition assays of secondary metabolites were performed, in order to obtain the first signs of phytochemical compounds of interest. The free radical scavenging activity of the extracts was expressed as IC50 value (g/mL) (necessary amount to inhibit the formation of 50% of DPPH radical). The low value of IC50 reflects better free radical scavenging action. Although most of the samples tested showed good antioxidant capacity with this method (DPPH), tests of hydroalcoholic extracts show that alcachofa (IC50 9.89 mg/mL), moringa (IC50 11.4 mg/mL) and borraja (IC50 14.0 mg/mL) were those with higher antioxidant capacity. Through chemical characterization tests, the presence of flavonoids, tannins, triterpenes, alkaloids and saponins were detected in most of the analyzed species (approximately 56-69%); only 20% of them showed the presence of polyphenols, cyanogenic glycosides, lactones, coumarins, anthraquinones and sterols. According to the results obtained, these plants might be considered as promising sources of secondary metabolites with antioxidant activity.

Population explosion is a major problem it is raising tremendously; this may affect drastically the economic growth. So family planning has been promoted through several methods of contraception. A wide variety of synthetic contraceptive agents are available, but these cannot be used continuously due to their side effects. Thus the present study was to evaluate the effect of Bougainvillea spectabilis on fertility of male and female mice. Swiss Albino mice were orally administered with aqueous crude extract of the leaves of Bougainvillea spectabilis (800 mg/kg of body weight/day, for 30 days), and effect of crude extract on reproductive organs and fertility was investigated. The treatment Caused decrease in weight of testis, sperm count and the histological examination revealed a reduction in the size of seminiferous tubules along with the thickness of germinal epithelial cells, though some of the epithelial cells and interstitial cells of leydig showed hypertrophy. Moreover, the lumen of the tubules was found to be devoid of sperms. On the other hand, in treated females no histological changes could be observed. The only marked change, which could be visualized, was the slight disruption of estrous cycle having prolonged metaestrus phase, which has been increased by 145.28 %. The overall duration of estrous cycle had been extended by more than one day. The hormonal profile was also influenced by the Bougainvillea spectabilis extract. The testosterone and estrogen levels were significantly decreased.

Abstract.  This study investigated a natural acid-base indicator which is extracted from plants in Kupang city. There are 14 plants that potential as a source of natural indicator for acid base titration, i.e, Kol Ungu (Brassica oleracea Capitata Group), Turi Merah flower (Sesbania grandiflora L. Pers), Belimbing Wuluh flower (Averhoa bilimbi L), Kaktus Merah fruit (Opuntia vulgaris Mill), Ruelia flower (Ruellia simplex), Flamboyan flower (Delonix regia), bugenvil flower (Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd.), Bayam Merah leaves (Amaranthus tricolor L.) Jamblang fruit (Syzygium cumini L.), Murbey fruit (Morus alba L.), Pinang fruit (Areca catechu L.), Sirih fruit (Piper betle L.), Kunyit (Curcuma longa Linn), and Nanas Kerang leaves (Rhoeo discolor). Plants extract shows a sharp color change in acid and base solution. Promising results as a natural indicator also shown in acid base titration which is have similar equivalent point to synthetic indicator. We can use these natural indicators as an alternative to synthetic indicator because they are found to be simple, very useful, cheap, easy to extract, accurate, and eco-friendly.
