This study aimed to determine the cytotoxicity properties and phytochemical profile of the different extracts of Heliotropium indicum L. The cytotoxicity properties of Heliotropium indicum L. were evaluated using the Brine Shrimp Lethality Assay (BSLA), while qualitative phytochemical screening was also tested on its leaf extracts. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in terms of LC50 (lethality concentration), which measures the ability of the extract to kill 50% of test animals in a specific observation period. Brine shrimps were tested in three different extraction solvents with different concentrations: 1, 10, 100, and 1000 μg/mL. Their toxicity values (LC50) were computed and described using Clarkson’s toxicity. Probit analysis and LC50 were employed to measure the degree of toxicity of the brine shrimps after 6 and 24 hours of treatment. Results of the cytotoxicity assay showed that the decoction and aqueous extracts have the highest toxicity values. Phytochemical screening was assayed using a standard protocol. The qualitative phytochemical assessment of Heliotropium indicum L. Leaf extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins from decoction and aqueous extract. The phytochemical components detected in Heliotropium indicum L. could account for their rich pharmacological potential. Thus, the results show tentative support for its pharmacological claims and its utilization as an alternative to traditional medicine.

Always appreciate the opportunity to talk shop and share a "feral landscape architect" perspective on professional practice. Thank you @asla.uoregon REPOST: Join us for a Faculty Forum session with David Buckley Borden - this Friday, 11/13, from 12-12:50 PM! Zoom ID: 9706 2603 631 --- "This professional development talk is for students and recent graduates and uses Borden’s career track as an example of developing an intentional self-directed creative practice. The talk is not a prescriptive “how-to” career presentation, but an empowering, yet cautionary, conversation about creative growth and self-determination. The conversation includes Borden’s initial work in the performing arts, his brief experiment as a corporate landscape designer, his tenure as a “feral landscape architect,” and his ongoing practice as an independent creative working at the intersection of art, design, and ecology. Borden walks the audience along his career path to highlight the strategic successes that have shaped his practice philosophy, process, and project outcomes. Borden also presents setbacks and learning opportunities including practical pitfalls of public installations and exhibitions, residencies, fellowships, grants, and self-made opportunities." — #asla #aslaoregon #bsla #mla #landarch #landscapearchitecture (at University of Oregon College of Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHf7zU3spdz/?igshid=18miz652sa39j

Thanks to the @bslaoffice for hosting Aaron Ellison and I as we presented our new "Novel Ecosystems" talk today at the BSLA Conference at Northeastern University. And kudos to Gretchen Rabinkin for her big tent approach to fostering a welcoming LA design community. My next talk, "Community Nature; People, Place, and Practice" will be on June 12 at Sasaki Associates. Abstract below. Interested in hosting a talk and workshop in the fall?
