Guttiferae family is well-known to have a wide range of phytochemical constituents and bioactivities. A phytochemical investigation of Garcinia malaccensis lead isolation of -mangostin, -mangostin and a triterpenoid. α-Mangostin, a xanthone has a lot of health benefits. Many studies have been reported to investigate the biological activities

This study was aimed to assess the potential wound healing properties of Channa striatus (haruan) on migration of HaCaT keratinocytes. In vitro study was preferred to provide a clearer view wound healing process at cellular level specifically cellular migration activity. C. striata has been significantly studied to alleviate the healing process. Sp

Garcinia malaccensis Hk.f (Guttiferae) is closely resembled to G. mangostana and G. hombroniana. The genus of Garcinia, especially Garcinia mangostana is well known as a medicinal plant in South-east Asia and is used in traditional medicine. The paper reported the chemical constituents of the stembark of Garcinia malaccensis together with cytotoxic

The effects of Cinnamomum burmannii and Tinospora crispa on differentiation and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1 adipocyte cells were studied. Cells were stimulated to differentiate with differentiation cocktail containing Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.25 µM dexamethasone, 0.5 mM 3-isobutyl-1-methyl-xan

Garcinia malaccensis Hk.f (Guttiferae) is closely resembled to G. mangostana and G. hombroniana. The genus of Garcinia is well known as a medicinal plant in South-east Asia. The research investigated chemical constituents from the stembark of G. malaccensis together with their cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines. Purification was car

Static and dynamic properties of matter-wave solitons in dense Bose–Einstein condensates, where three-body interactions play a significant role, have been studied by a variational approximation (VA) and numerical simulations. For experimentally relevant parameters, matter-wave solitons may acquire a flat-top shape, which suggests employing a supe

Clinical practice in our country showed a lack of suitable implants that perfectly match the anthropometry of the local population. However, there have been no reports or comprehensive studies conducted to substantiate this argument. We therefore prospectively studied 120 hips from sixty subjects with an average age of 25±5.18 years old. The avera

Alternanthera sessilis (sessile joyweed) is a herb belongs to the family of Amaranthaceae and widely used as traditional medicine in Malaysia, China, Taiwan, India and Sri Lanka. The use of this plant for antimicrobial purpose is an interesting aspect to be studied. The research was done by bioactivity-guided fractionation of the extract on their a

In spite of the fact that commercial bromelain supplements are available in the market, to date, none of them are produced and formulated from recombinant forms. They are extracted and purified (often partially) from the stem and fruit of pineapple (Ananas comosus). This makes the production of bromelain very difficult, less reliable, often contami

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, it will review labour force participation rate focusing on youth involvement in labour force in Malaysia. Second, it will look at the trend of youth unemployment.And thirdly, it will seek to unfold the many causes of youth unemployment with the emphasis on the graduates unemployment and graduates emplo
