Possible protective anticancer effect of chloroform fraction of Iraqi Hibiscus tiliaceus L. leaves extract on diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in male rats.

Summary

Iraqi chloroform leaf extract was investigated for its ability to protect against DEN-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in male Wistar Albino rats. This research is relevant for finding potential treatments for HCC.

Potential anti-obesity effects of two-graded doses of Iraqi Hibiscus tiliaceus leaves extract, alone and in combination with orlistat, on high-fat diet-induced obesity in male rats.

Summary

Study evaluated anti-obesity effect of Iraqi extract, alone or with orlistat, on high-fat diet-induced obesity in male rats. Extract reduced body weight, food intake, serum lipids, and liver enzymes. Extract shows potential as a therapeutic agent for obesity but more research needed for clinical efficacy and safety.

Antimicrobial constituents from the leaves of Hibiscus tiliaceus L.

Summary

Scientists isolated two new megastigmane derivatives (methyl-tiliaceates A and B), along with four known metabolites, from the leaves of L. These compounds showed selective inhibition against specific strains of pathogenic microorganisms.
