- Abstract:
- ... Several plants have been studied for their medicinal properties, especially concerning the management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, aiming at a more accessible form of treatment. In this context, the aim of this study was to characterize plant proteins used in folk medicine as hypoglycemic agents for the treatment of diabetes, namely “abajerú” (Chrysobalanus icaco) and “cow's paw” (Bauhin ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bauhinia forficata Link, commonly known as “cow's paw”, is a native plant from South America. Its leaves are widely used in Brazilian folk medicine to treat diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Although this species' biological potential has been extensively proven as an antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, there is a lack of studies to evidence its action on the cardiovascular ...

- Abstract:
- ... The synthesis of metal nanoparticles by green methods attained enormous attention in recent years due to its easiness, non-toxicity, and eco-friendly nature. In the present study, noble metal nanoparticles such as silver and gold were prepared using an aqueous leaf extract of a medicinal plant, Bauhinia purpurea. The leaf extract performed as both reducing and stabilizing agents for the developmen ...
