Antiacetylcholinesterase and antioxidant activity of essential oils from six medicinal plants from Burkina Faso

Martin Kiendrebeogo, Ahmed Y Coulibaly, Roger CH Nebie, Boukaré Zeba, Charles E Lamien, Aline Lamien-Meda, Odile G Nacoulma

n this investigation, we evaluated essential oils from six medicinal plants from Burkina Faso for their antiacetylcholinesterase and antioxidant abilities. The chemotype of most active were also determined. The best antiacetylcholinesterase activities were recorded for the essential oils of Eucalyptus camaldulensis (IC50 18.98 µ g/mL) and Ocim(...)

Weak solutions for anisotropic discrete boundary value problems

B. Koné, S. Ouaro

We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a family of discrete boundary value problems for data f which belong to a discrete Hilbert space H. Moreover, as an extension, we prove some existence results of weak solutions for more general data f depending on the solution
