Abstract:
Plants have a high concentration of biologically active molecules. Aloe plants tend to store water and important chemical constituents in their swollen and succulent leaves due to their ability to survive in hot and dry conditions, which makes them a unique source of phytochemicals. The Aloe leaf contains more than 200 nutritional substances, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and active enzymes. These constituents are analyzed as phytochemical screening (qualitative analysis) or proximate and mineral content analyses (quantitative analysis). Aloe is used as a food product and beverage ingredient. Functional and nutraceutical foods, edible coatings/films, Aloe species as cooked vegetables, and raw eating of Aloe species are how the Aloe plant is considered in food applications. The researchers reported edible Aloes for several species. However, it is not mean that all species of Aloe are edible. It is not only the leaves of Aloe that have nutritional values also other parts of the plant do. The study evaluated the nutritional value of Aloe flowers and their possible use as edible flowers. Aloe species are increasingly being incorporated into different health drinks, foods, and beverages due to the beneficial biological activities of the phytochemicals.

Abstract:
Aloe a miracle plant obtained from many species namely aloe vera, aloe barbadensis, aloe perryi, aloe ferox and various other species. Aloe vera the Indian species cultivated in India and other species are cultivated in Africa. Aloe is a cactuslike plant that grows in hot, dry climates. Aloe plant can withstand drought conditions and can grow without rainfall. Aloe produces two substances, gel and latex. Aloe gel is a clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. Aloe latex comes from the plant's skin and is yellow in color. Some aloe products are made from the whole crushed leaf, so they contain both gel and latex. Aloe vera plant has enormous activities in treatment of various skin diseases such as acne, burns, psoriasis, etc. and used in herbal cosmetics. Aloe gel is used in many cosmetic preparations as face wash and herbal creams etc. since the potency, efficacy, safety is more toxicity and side effects are comparatively less. Aloe is used in gum diseases in, dental problems and dental plaque etc. Aloe gel has anti-diabetic activity, used in treatment of glaucoma, and can treat vision problems. It is also used in hepatitis, osteoarthritis, varicose veins, weight loss etc. aloe has tremendous other activities. This review includes various uses, medicinal properties, pharmacological actions, various extracts of these Aloe species are traditionally used and their application used to cure, arthritis, inflammation, immunity, diabetes, hyperlipidemic, antioxidant, atherosclerosis, coronary heart diseases, laxative, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, wound healing and antitumor effect. Since aloe has been reviewed in many journal and articles, this review is compiled from recent article of aloes. Hence aloe is an invaluable gift of nature and a miracle plant. Aloe is a medicinal plant from the past, present and future and the invaluable activities present in this plant leads us to promising activities for the research and development for finding new entities.

Abstract:
This study reported a simulation of structural transition and correlation between structural and dynamical heterogeneity (DH) for liquid Al2O3. Structural characteristics of liquid Al2O3 were clarified through the pair radial distribution functions, the distribution of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text], 4, 5, 6; [Formula: see text], 2, 3) basic structural units, angle and bond length distribution and 3D visualization. Simulation results revealed that network structure of liquid Al2O3 is built mainly by AlO3, AlO4, AlO5 and AlO6 units that are linked to each other through common oxygen atoms. We found the existence of separate AlO4-, AlO5- and AlO6-phases where the mobility of atoms can be determined. The atoms in AlO4-phase are more mobile than the ones in AlO5- and AlO6-phases. The existence of separate phases is evidence of DH in liquid Al2O3. Moreover, the self-diffusion of Al and O atoms was also discussed via characteristics of separate AlO4-, AlO5- and AlO6-phases.

Abstract:
Eight bird species were recorded feeding on Aloe maculata (Soap Aloe) nectar at Biddulphsberg, Senekal, Free State, from 23–26 August 2021. Birds were mist-netted as part of a bird ringing study and aloe pollen was noticed on some birds. The flowering aloes attract mainly Malachite Nectarinia famosa and White-bellied Sunbirds Cinnyris talatala as well as Cape Zosterops virens and Orange River White-eyes Z. pallidus. Of the 108 birds ringed or collected, 34 birds (eight species) had aloe pollen on them. These species, including a first record of Black-chested Prinia Prinia flavicans, and a confirmed record of Streaky-headed Seedeaters Crithagra gularis, represent the first observations of birds probing A. maculata flowers.

Abstract:
Madagascar is a major centre of diversity for the leaf-succulent genus Aloe Linnaeus (1753: 319) accounting for roughly a third of Aloe species (Carter et al. 2011). Approximately 128 species and 161 taxa are known from the region and all are restricted to Madagascar (Rakotoarisoa et al. 2014) and/or the nearby Mascarene archipelago. New taxa are described from these islands at a rate that rivals the ongoing discovery of aloes elsewhere in their natural range, on the African continent or Arabian Peninsula (Crouch et al. 2013). Extinction risks are alarmingly high among species of Aloe in this region. Conservatively, 39% of species are known to be threatened, and this figure is likely to be significantly higher (Rakotoarisoa et al. 2014), since several species have not been observed or collected for many decades. The Kew Madagascar Conservation Centre (KMCC) aims to record and collect the rare and threatened flora of Madagascar to ensure its conservation, and the genus Aloe is a priority for the dryland programme.

Aloe barbadensis Miller, planta também conhecida como Aloe vera L., uma espécie originária do Continente Africano, possui diversas propriedades medicinais determinadas por metabólitos encontrados no extrato do parênquima clorofiliano e no parênquima de reserva. Este último, é rico em polissacarídeos, principalmente polimananas do tipo b(1à4). Neste trabalho, foram estudadas as influências de fatores climáticos (temperatura média diária mensal, insolação, precipitação pluviométrica bimestral e umidade relativa diária bimestral) sobre a biossíntese de aloína (antraquinona majoritária) e da fração polissacarídica do extrato do parênquima de reserva ao longo do período de maio/2005 a maio/2006. Para tal, foram utilizadas amostras de população de plantas obtidas via micropropagação, de plantas produzidas no campo e também de folhas coletadas de mesmas plantas e de plantas distintas. A precipitação pluviométrica bimestral foi o fator de maior influência na biossíntese de aloína A, enquanto a fração polissacarídica mostrou-se mais afetada pelos efeitos da insolação e da precipitação pluviométrica bimestral. As análises realizadas na determinação das características físico-químicas e bioquímicas do extrato do parênquima de reserva mostraram teores de glicídios e proteínas proeminentes. Adicionalmente, a FP demonstrou uma pequena variação de conteúdos protéico e glicídico inter-coletas. Entretanto, na FPD o grau de variância foi maior, o que demonstrou a importância da diálise das amostras. A composição monomérica da FPD, utilizando CCD, revelou a presença de manose, glucose e galactose. A utilização das espectroscopias de FT-IR e 13C-RMN permitiu determinar de forma inequívoca a estrutura molecular da acemanana presente nas amostras em estudo, do padrão comercial e da acemanana isolada da fração polissacarídica. A análise quimiométrica (PCAs) viabilizou o estabelecimento de um padrão de distribuição fatorial das amostras de acordo com sua composição química e demonstrou que os efeitos de época de coleta e de diálise das amostras foram significativos para o perfil de agrupamentos observados. Os contaminantes presentes nas amostras e a intensidade de sinais nos espectros de FT-IR foram os principais responsáveis pela dispersão observada das amostras. A 13C-RMN mostrou que a purificação da acemanana não foi suficiente para garantir seu grau de pureza, no entanto, ficou acima do padrão usado comercialmente. Os ensaios de vascularização realizados na vesícula vitelínica e na membrana córioalantóica de Gallus domesticus produziram um efeito anti-vasculogênico e anti-angiogênico, sem comprometer a morfogênese embrionária, nos tratamentos com extrato do parênquima de reserva, da FP e de acemanana, nas concentrações de 10, 30 e 90mg/ovo.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) in angiogenesis and scar activity Methods: experimental study used 120 fertile eggs of chicken (Gallus domesticus) of Rhoss lineage. The eggs were incubated, and the end of the 13 °, filter paper discs, conveying 3 uL of the solution to be tested (glycolic extract of aloe vera 10%) and the proper controls were deposited directly on the Chorioallantoic Membrane-MCA so carefully to evaluate the angiogenic activity of Aloe vera. The healing activity was evaluated using 15 healthy rats of the species Rattus norvegicus albinus by creating a lesion on the dorsum of each mouse using a rectangular size 2,0x3,0cm mold, after making the injuries were applied the solution to be tested, Aloe vera and the positive and negative controls Results: regarding angiogenic activity observed If through the images that 80% of MCAs which was used Aloe vera was the formation of thicker blood vessels and in greater quantities, but there was no difference significant when compared to the positive control. Regarding scar activity results in macroscopic evaluation showed that 100% of the test group mice showed a complete closure of the lesions on the 21st day of the experiment while only 40% of the control group had complete closure. But when the Tukey test (p> 0.05), there was no statistical difference. Demonstrating how the scar activity of Aloe vera is the same as Regederm® you already have scientific evidence in wound healing. Conclusion: Aloe vera presented healing activity equal to the positive control, the MCA presented angiogenic activity equal to the positive control, with formation of new vessels, it was easy to apply and handling, conclusion themselves with what the Aloe vera extract or pro components -angiogênicos isolates may have potential pharmaceutical applications for wound treatment.
Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) na atividade angiogênica e cicatricial Métodos: estudo experimental onde se utilizou 120 ovos férteis de galinha (Gallus domesticus) da linhagem Rhoss.

Abstract:
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is the most commonly used excipient in the manufacture of spherical particles or beads by extrusion spheronisation. However, the use of MCC in beads has its limitations such as prolonged release of drugs due to lack of disintegration. The aim of this study was to determine if Aloe vera and Aloe marlothii leaf materials can be used as excipients in the production of beads prepared by extrusion spheronisation. A 23 full factorial design was employed for optimisation and to explore the effects of the concentration of MCC, polyvinylpyrrolidone and aloe materials on the sphericity and release rate of ketoprofen. Scanning electron microscopy revealed more porous beads when aloe materials were included in the bead formulations compared to the formulation with MMC alone. The bead formulations containing aloe materials exhibited faster drug release compared to that of the formulation containing MCC alone. Dissolution data of the optimised formulations were analysed in terms of mean dissolution time (MDT) as well as fit factors (f1 and f2). The optimised bead formulations had dissolution profiles comparable to that of the formulation containing MCC alone at pH 1.2 and 4.5 (f2 values > 70), but less comparable to the reference at pH 6.8 (50 < f2< 65) due to faster drug release. Aloe vera and Aloe marlothii leaf materials can be used successfully together with MCC in the production of beads by extrusion spheronisation.

Abstract:
Harvesting of Aloeferox was estimated (in 1996) to bring in an annual income ofR4 million per year to rural communities alone - a vital source of income for full-time tappers who rely solely on Aloe ferox as their only form of financial survival. They are joined on occasion by casual-tappers who rely on tapping to supplement their incomes in times of hardship (Newton and Vaughan 1996). Landowner's also benefit by allowing harvesting on their land in exchange for a percentage of the harvest (Newton and Vaughan 1996). Trade in bitters sap or gel far outweighs that of other plant parts so care is taken by harvesters to keep the plants alive for future tapping. Leaves from only the lower third of the leaf rosette ( 10 - 15 leaves) are harvested, and 2 - 4 cm at the base of the leaves are left to prevent damage to vascular tissues (Newton and Vaughan 1996, Mac Farlane 2004). Populations are only harvested every 18 - 36 months allowing plants to recover from the loss of leaf material. Plants suffering from insect-infestation or disease are not harvested to avoid weakening the plant further and possibly causing death (Newton and Vaughan 1996). Effort is also made by landowners to relocate plants growing in areas they plan to transform and to monitor harvesting activities on their properties (Newton and Vaughan 1996). The vested interest in keeping the plants alive has inadvertently assured the preservation of populations at past harvesting levels although no formal conservation or resource management policy presently exists for A. ferox (Newton and Vaughan 1996). Effects of harvesting, which are not limited to the direct effect of leaf removal on the plant but include indirect effects - such as reduced reproductive output, reduced sap production and even trampling of recruits - have nonetheless raised concern for the long-term survival of populations (Newton and Vaughan 1996). This study addressed some of the indirect effects of harvesting on Aloe ferox on both population and individual plants levels. On the population level plant density, mortality, susceptibility to disease and sizeclass structure was compared between unharvested and harvested populations. On the individual plant level vegetative traits, flower production and sap production were compared between unharvested and harvested plants. One of few other studies on ecology of A. ferox by Hoffman (1988) assessed some of these characteristics for a population in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

Abstract:
Abstract The effect of Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. (Aloe barbadensis Miller) gel and whole leaf extract on the permeability of Caco-2 cell monolayers was determined. Solutions of gel and the whole leaf extract were applied to the cell monolayers, and the transepithelial electrical resistance was monitored for 2 hours, which was then continued for another 2 hours after removal of the test solutions to measure reversibility of the effect. The transport of insulin in the presence and absence of the A. vera gel and whole leaf extract solutionswas also investigated. Both the A. vera gel and whole leaf extract were able to significantly reduce the transepithelial electrical resistance of the Caco-2 cell monolayers at concentrations above 0.5% w/ v and thereby showed the ability to open tight junctions between adjacent cells. This effect was fully reversible, as the electrical resistance of the cell monolayers returned to the original value upon removal of the test solutions. The A. vera gel and whole leaf extract solutions significantly enhanced the transport of insulin across the Caco- 2 cell monolayers compared with the control. The results suggest that these plant products have a high potential to be used as absorption enhancers in novel dosage forms for drugs with poor bioavailabilities when administered orally. On the other hand, an uncontrolled increase in the bioavailability of drugs that are taken simultaneously with A. vera gel and whole leaf extract products may result in adverse effects, and the potential exists that toxic blood plasma levels may be reached.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Tech. (Biomedical Technology)) -- Central University of Technology, 2014
The rising costs of health care, the outbreak of drug resistant organisms, health depleting lifestyles and the risky side effects of currently used drugs are world-wide problems. This has led to the search for novel drugs and drug leads. Traditional healers and other individuals across the globe possess unlimited knowledge on the healing powers of different plants that has been passed on through generations. This knowledge together with scientific investigations can lead to the eradication of most of the diseases either by treatment or prevention. Aloe ferox Mill. is one of the plants that have gained a lot of interest from the pharmaceutical industry. The plant has over 80 documented medicinal uses. These include treatment of impotence and infertility, sexually transmitted infections, arthritis, hypertension, leukaemia, bacterial and fungal infections. It is also known as a blood purifier, widely used as a laxative and anti- inflammatory agent. More research is required to discover more about A. ferox and its benefits to health as well as to investigate its potential for the development of novel drugs. The current study was focused at investigating the anti- cancer, anti- microbial antidiabetic, cytotoxic activities and phytochemical composition of leaf extracts of A. ferox. Three cancer cell lines namely: breast (MCF7), colon (HCT116) and prostate (PC3) cancer cell lines were used to investigate the anticancer activity of the extracts using the Sulforhodamine B (SRB) method. To determine the anti- diabetic activity of the plant extracts the C2C12 and Chang cell in- vitro models of glucose uptake were used. The micro- dilution technique was IV used to evaluate the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the extract. The safety of these extracts against normal human foetal lung fibroblasts (W138), Chang and C2C12 cells was done by through the SRB and the MTT methods. To determine the phytochemical profile of A. ferox the DPPH radical scavenging and the Folin Ciocalteu methods were used to test the antioxidant activity and the total phenolic content of the different extracts respectively. Different methods were used to determine the presence of phytochemicals such as steroids, saponins, alkaloids, carbohydrates and flavonoids. LCMS was also done to detect the elemental composition of the plant extracts. According to the CSIR criteria A. ferox was inactive against the cancer cell lines used. It however exhibited antioxidant activity even at low concentrations, with an EC50 of 0.865 ± 0.783. The methanol extract showed more phenolic content than the dichloromethane and aqueous extracts at a concentration of 5mg/ml. It is believed that the antioxidant activity correlates with the phenolic content and quality of the phenols present in the plant and more assays have to be done to prove this hypothesis. Other phytochemicals found in the extract included saponins, steroids, alkaloids as well as flavonoids. Both the methanol and aqueous extracts of A. ferox caused a significant increase in glucose uptake by C2C12 cells but caused a slightly decreased uptake by the Chang cells. The plant extracts inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans at a concentration of 15mg/ml extract. Candida tropicalis and Escherichia faecalis were resistant to A. ferox extracts. Finally the extracts showed no toxic activity against the normal foetal lung fibroblasts, Chang and C2C12 cells validating the safety of this plant for human use. V The results in conjunction with literature findings show A. ferox to be a promising source of drugs and therapeutic agents. Due to the fact that traditional healers already rely on it as treatment for different ailments, it is important that the safety of the plant for use has been validated though other studies and clinical trial still need to be done to fully confirm this. All the information gathered also showed this plant to be of great benefit against major health problems, responsible for millions of deaths each year such as cancer, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, and diabetes. There is however still a great need for more investigation to be done on this plant against a vast majority of organisms and diseases so as to fully benefit from it.
