|
Clinical Trial Proven | Green-synthesised nanoparticles from Melia azedarach seeds have been found effective in controlling malaria vector mosquitoes, which can help prevent the spread of malaria. |
Indian Lilac, Margosa / नीम
Azadirachta indica • MeliaceaeNeem helps in inhibiting the growth of malaria parasites and may reduce its transmission.
Compounds like gedunin in neem have demonstrated inhibitory effects against various stages of the Plasmodium parasite life cycle, including both in vitro and in vivo models, making it a potential antimalarial agent.
Chinaberry, Persian Lilac, Indian Lilac / बकाइन, ध्रेक
Melia azedarach • MeliaceaeGreen-synthesised nanoparticles from Melia azedarach seeds have been found effective in controlling malaria vector mosquitoes, which can help prevent the spread of malaria.
Melia azedarach derived nanoparticles demonstrate larvicidal activity against Anopheles stephensi, the malaria vector. This suggests a role in vector control by disrupting larval development or physiology, thereby reducing disease transmission.
