Chemodiversity, Biological Activities and Molecular Docking Studies ofLeptadenia pyrotechnica(Forssk.) Decne: A Comprehensive Approach to Validate Its Medicinal Use.

“…These results indicated antidiabetic potential of L. pyrotechnica. Previously, in vivo antidiabetic studies disclosed that L. pyrotechnica extract induced dosage dependent reduction in blood glucose, [52] thus substantiated our results, and suggest the use of L. pyrotechnica extract in antidiabetic herbal formulations.…”

Medicinal plants used for dermatological disorders among the people of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia: A narrative review

“…Anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anthelmintic, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, and wound healing effects have been discovered in this plant. Meanwhile, fatty acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, and terpenes were found in the phytochemical investigation ( Idrees et al, 2016 , El-Demerdash et al, 1994 ).…”

The Biogenic Synthesis of Bimetallic Ag/ZnO Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Approach for Methyl Violet Photocatalytic Degradation and the Assessment of Antibacterial, Antioxidant, and Cytotoxicity Properties

“…L. pyrotechnica is rich in phytochemicals, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, cardiac glycosides, pregnane glycosides, alkaloids, fatty acids, terpenes, sterols, hydrocarbons, amino acids, and sugars, which help in the reduction and stabilization of metals [35]. This plant also has several medicinal uses [36,37] The synthesis of the NPs was performed using this plant for the first time and the effectiveness of the prepared materials was tested using biological assays and the photocatalytic degradation of methyl violet (MV) and 4-nitrophenol (NPh), which were used as models of dyes and organic compounds, respectively. The study offers a fresh way of investigating the applications and combinatorial effects of Ag and Zn in nanoparticle configurations.…”
