Neoandrographolide is one of the constituents in this plant. But there are no previous reports of isolation of neoandrographolide from &lt;em&gt;A. macrobotrys&lt;/em&gt;. Current work is undertaken to concentrate on isolation, characterization, and evaluation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibition activity of neoandrographolide from &lt;em&gt;A. macrobotrys&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;For the isolation process techniques like column chromatography, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and preparative TLC were used. Characterization was done by ultra visible (UV)-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), carbon-13 (C13) nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) analysis. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiaxo-2yl) 2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was done for the preliminary cytotoxicity test to standardize the sample concentration for the TNF-α inhibition study. The flowcytometric method was used to determine TNF-α inhibiting ability in a human monocytes cell line (THP-1). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Neoandrographolide was isolated from methanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;A. macrobotrys&lt;/em&gt; which had a melting point of 174-175ºC. FTIR results had shown stretching for –OH, 3427.58 cm&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;,sp&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;-CH, lactone, and α, β unsaturated ester. NMR data confirmed 26 carbon structures. Cytotoxicity of isolated neoandrographolide was 22.59 μg/ml. Further lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced TNF-α inhibition was highest in the case of isolated neoandrographolide in comparison with the crude extract of&lt;em&gt; A. macrobotrys&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;A. macrobotrys&lt;/em&gt; can be used as a new source of neoandrographolide with anti-inflammatory abilities by inhibiting the TNF-α release in THP-1 cells.&lt;/p&gt;

It is native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia and is commonly known as blessed thistle, holy thistle, St Benedict’s thistle or spotted thistle. Traditionally, it has been used to treat bubonic plague and possesses diuretic, galactagogue, liver-strengthening and wound healing properties. Recent research studies have investigated its anticancer, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and other therapeutic properties. Several studies have also reported its antimicrobial activity against a range of bacterial pathogens. However, most of these studies were preliminary and only tested relatively high concentrations of the extracts. Additionally, most studies screened a limited number of pathogens. Cnicin is the main chemical compound present in &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;and it has been widely investigated. However, few other compounds from this plant have been identified and/or investigated, and further phytochemical studies are warranted. Interestingly, pure cnicin has good anticancer activity, whilst the crude extracts lack cytotoxic properties. Phytochemical analyses of&lt;em&gt; C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;extracts reveal the presence of multiple flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids and lactones, although few specific phytochemicals within these phytochemical classes have been identified. A limited number of research studies have determined the toxicity profile of &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta &lt;/em&gt;in order to evaluate its safety for human use. Substantially more detailed studies are required to rigorously investigate the therapeutic properties and phytochemistry of &lt;em&gt;C. benedicta&lt;/em&gt;, which may ultimately lead to the development of new plant-based therapeutic medicines.&lt;/p&gt;

The results were supported by histopathological studies.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The EEPC have shown significant antiurolithiatic activity by reducing calculi.&lt;/p&gt;

Total eight extracts were prepared which were Methanolic Leaf Extract (MLE), Methanolic Stem Extract (MSE), Methanolic Root Extract (MRE), Methanolic Callus Extract (MCE), Ethyl Acetate Leaf Extract (EALE), Ethyl Acetate Root Extract (EARE), Ethyl Acetate Stem Extract (EASE) and Ethyl Acetate Callus Extract (EACE). Then, each of the extracts was further subjected to Gas Chromatography– Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The GC–MS analysis of the eight extracts revealed the presence of 77 different types of high and low molecular weight phytochemicals and bioactive compounds in varying quantities. Some of the phytochemicals detected for first time in &lt;em&gt;L. reticulata&lt;/em&gt; are γ-sitosterol, Campesterol, Pristane, Hexahydrofarnesol, Stearic acid, Arachidic acid, Coniferyl alcohol, n-Tetracosanol-1, Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, (2S,3S)-3,7,4’-Trihydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methylflavanone etc. These chemical compounds are considered biologically active and pharmacologically important. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study gives a detailed comparison of detection and identification of various bioactive phytochemicals from different plant parts (leaves, stem and root) and callus of&lt;em&gt; L. reticulata.&lt;/em&gt; This provides a basis for the biological and biochemical characterization of some newly detected biologically and pharmacologically important phytochemical components from this plant.&lt;/p&gt;

Jacks. or the blue pine is one of the important conifer that grows all along the Himalayan range from Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar and China in the east covering the Himalayan regions of Pakistan, Nepal and India. It is found in the upper region of the mountains and often remains associated with other gymnosperms. The plant is of immense ethnobotanical relevance and finds extensive use among the people inhabiting the mountainous region. They are primarily valued for its timber and used for construction and infrastructural purposes. Medicinally the plant is very much important. Throughout the Himalayan region the plant is used for the cure of a number of diseases including treatment of fever, cough and cold, bone fracture, healing of injury and wounds, rheumatic pain, arthritis, inflammations etc. The plant is rich in terpenoids and flavonoids all of which possess strong antioxidant properties. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Extensive literature survey was made in the internet with pubmed, google scholar forming the search platform to illustrate the traditional usage of the plant among inhabitants of various regions of Himalayas. Informations of traditional usage, chemical constituents and selected pharmacological activities of the plant were pooled from available research papers to frame the review. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Outcome:&lt;/strong&gt; In this review, an attempt has been made to compile the ethnobotanical usage of &lt;em&gt;Pinus wallichiana&lt;/em&gt;, its phytochemistry and pharmacological activity highlighting its potentiality as a cheap and affordable source of drugs for the benefit of population of Indian subcontinent and adjoining areas.&lt;/p&gt;

Interestingly, a concentration dependent free radical scavenging potential was noticed and was comparable with the synthetic antioxidant ascorbate. Further, the FTIR analysis of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol extract confirmed the presence of alcohols/phenols, primary, secondary amines, amides, alkanes, aldehydes, saturated aliphatic alkenes aromatics and aromatic amines, nitro compounds, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, aliphatic amines, alkyl halides and carbonyls in the moss indicating the presence of medicinally important compounds like flavonoids, terpenoids and alkaloids in the various solvent extracts of the moss. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The overall result of the present study showed that the moss is rich in important pharmaceutical compounds and was reflected as its antioxidant potential. Further studies are warranted to isolate, identify and purify the lead terpenoid present in the moss.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">645</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Greeshma Geetha Mohandas&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Murugan Kumaraswamy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
