        Prosopis cineraria is a native species in the south of Iran and it include of compatible species in this area. This species contains has been a wide distribution but discrete in the past, but it's limited regions in now. This research done in investigating possibility of plantation development for Mesquite (Prosopis cineraria) in Rahmatabad watershed of Rigan county, the East Kerman province. The aim of this study was to site location and identify suitable land for development and implementation of the ecological requirements of the species, according to the ecological characteristics of the study area in the East of the province. For this purpose, the method of multi-criteria evaluation has been based on Analytical Hierarchy Process. During this process were identified the natural characteristics and specific requirements of Mesquite and then calculate the weight of each characteristic by weighted analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the final map of the habitat area was prepared for the development of Mesquite trees. The results showed that the total area of 37286 ha, about 3423 ha of the land where good capability, 13521 ha the average capability, 17343 ha low capability and 2999 ha for the plantation of Mesquite has without capability. Using the results of this study can recognized prone areas of Mesquite using the MCE method in GIS and for the plantation of this species in places with good habitat can be planned in the future.

        Plants are valuable sources of different antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds. The composition and structure of the functional groups of essential oils and extracts play an important role in their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Prosopis farcta is a spice of Leguminosae family and Mimosoideae subfamily, an aborigine to the dry and semi-dried regions of Asia, Africa and America. In this study, the root extract of Prosopis farcta prepared by the soxhlet extractor and ethanol 70% solvent. The extraction yield was estimated at 1.85%. Total phenol and flavonoids compounds were calculated 178.14 ± 0.17 mg Gallic acid/g and 94.33 ± 0.77 mg Quercetin/g, respectively. Phenolic compounds comprised 11.98% of the total chemical composition of the extract. IC50 for root extract and BHT (synthetic antioxidant) was determined 2.45 μg/ml and 1.98 μg/ml, respectively. In the β-carotene-linoleic acid system, the average antioxidant activity reported 39.25% for root extract and 57.13% for the BHT. Among 250, 500 and 1000 ppm concentrations of the extract, 1000 ppm showed the best antioxidant effect in soybean oil for 12 days storage at 50°C. Staphylococcus aureus (with MIC 200 µg/ml and MBC 350 µg/ml) showed the most sensitivity in comparison with the two gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli. The results of this study showed that the hydro-ethanolic root extract of Prosopis farcta had suitable antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. Manuscript profile

        Effect of explants source, plant growth regulator and NaCl on organogenesis and proline accumulation in prosopis Kolziana, salt tolerant species, were studied. Meristem, young leaf, and cotyledon separated from in vitro seedling. Then explants were cultured on MS medium supplement with different plant growth regulators. Multiple shoot regeneration was observed in meristem explants. In contrast leaf callus did not produce any shoot and root. The best treatment for shoot regeneration was MS Medium containing 1 mgl-1 6-benzylaminopurine and 0.1 mgl-1 naphtalenacetic acid. Auxins promoted callus and root regeneration. In contrast cytokinin hormones induced shoot formation. Effect of different concentrations of NaCl (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 gl-1) on organogenesis and proline accumulation were investigated. The result showed salt stress tends to decrease of organogenesis. But it had less effect on callus induction. Although, high content of NaCl inhibited both callusing and shoot regeneration. Proline content was significantly increased by increasing the NaCl. Increasing the NaCl concentration from 8 mgl-1 to 12 mgl-1 did not enhance proline content. It is suggested proline had an important role on salt resistance in this species. Manuscript profile

        Background & Aim:  The hot water extract of a mixture of Anogeissus leiocarpus and Prosopis africana is widely used in the northern part of Nigeria for the treatment and management of asthma. Since investigations of its pharmacological activities already justify its use, and the need for standardization of herbal medicine and develop appropriate dosage forms has continued to grow, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of some common channelling agents (sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate and sodium lauryl sulphate) on the compaction properties of the mixed stem bark extracts of Anogeissus leiocarpus and Prosopis africana.Experimental:Granules of the mixed extracts (AA1) were produced using the wet granulation method of massing and screening. The micromeritics and flow properties of the extracts as well as the effects of the three common additives were studied, while the compaction properties of the extract formulated alone and in the presence of these additives were interrogated using the Heckel equation.  Results: Our results showed that, all the formulations containing the channelling agents exhibited poor flow. Granules prepared using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) exhibited plastic deformation during consolidation, those formulated using calcium carbonate (CaCO3) showed initial fragmentation before consolidation by plastic deformation and those formulated using sodium lauryl sulphate consolidated essentially by plastic deformation. Inclusion of additives modified the compressibility profiles of the formulations. Tensile strength of the formulations containing NaHCO3 and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) were observed to be concentration dependent while those containing CaCO3 showed no appreciable increase in tensile strength with increased pressure. Generally, formulations containing 5% of the additives gave the highest tensile strength, however, those containing CaCO3 were found to be higher than the other two formulations.  Recommended applications/industries: Considering that, none of the channelling agents altered significantly the compaction properties of AA1, they might be useful in developing standardized and robust tablets of A. leiocarpus and P. africana admixtures for Asthma therapy.

        Background & Aim: The use of medicinal plants in the treatment and management of various diseases is widely practiced in Nigeria. The stem barks of Prosopisa fricana and Anogeissus leiocarpus have been employed traditionally in the treatment of several respiratory diseases including cough. The aim of this study is to develop herbal syrup formulation from the combined aqueous stem bark extracts of Prosopisa fricana and Anogeissus leiocarpuswhich can be used in the treatment of cough.Experimental: Pulverized stem bark was extracted using distilled water by hot maceration for 24 h and concentrated over a water bath. The resulting extract was used to prepare syrups using either honey, sugar or combination of both (1:1) as vehicles in the presence of preservatives and sweeteners where needed. Organoleptic and physicochemical properties such as odor, color, taste, presence of froth, pH and density were evaluated. Stability of the syrups at room temperature, in the refrigerator and at accelerated temperature was also evaluated. Interaction studies was investigated using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy while Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to evaluate thermal properties of the prepared syrups.Results: The syrups were brown to dark brown in color, had characteristic smell with sweet to bitter taste. Viscosity was between 10.80 and 87.40 mpas, pH was between 3.92 and 4.90, density was between 1.39 and 1.52 mg/mL.No interaction was observed from FTIR spectra or DSC after thermal decomposition. In vitro antibacterial studies showed the syrups possess considerable inhibitory effect against tested microorganisms. Formulations PAH1 and PAH2 were found to be the most stable after 30 days’ storage at different temperatures.Recommended applications/industries: This study buttresses the potential of herbal extracts in developing stable syrup formulations using honey as a vehicle for treatment of cough and/or relieve of its associated symptoms.
