CYTOTOXIC, ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIVIRAL EVALUATION OF THE AERIAL PARTS OF SORGHUMVIRGATUMHACK
Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Sorghum virgatum (Hack) belongs to Poaceae (Graminae) family, which represented in flora of Egypt by four species. It worth noting that nothing was reported about phytochemical and biological investigation of S.virgatum. Therefore, phytochemical and biological investigation of the different extracts of S. virgatumisimportant. Sorghum is rich in phytochemicals known to significantly affect human health.
