The present study was undertaken to evaluate the phytochemical profile and microscopic characteristics of Terminalia plant material in order to establish its identity, quality, and therapeutic relevance. Phytochemical are abundantly present at varying concentrations in numerous medicinal plants. Microscopic examination of the powdered drug showed characteristic diagnostic features such as distinct epidermal cells, lignified fibers, stone cells, xylem vessels with spiral and pitted thickenings, calcium oxalate crystals, and starch grains, which serve as reliable markers for authentication. The powder exhibited fair flow behavior, as indicated by a Carr’s compressibility index of 18.00% and a Hausner’s ratio of 1.22. Proximate analysis revealed the presence of essential nutritional components, including moisture content, ash values, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and carbohydrate content, providing insight into the physicochemical stability and compositional quality of the plant material. Fluorescence analysis was conducted under visible and UV light using different chemicals and solvents. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Powdered &lt;em&gt;Terminalia chebula&lt;/em&gt; was evaluated using physicochemical tests: powder characterization, extractive value, alcohol, and water-soluble matter, Ash value and LOD. Flow properties were determined using standard pharmacopeial parameters, including bulk density, tapped density, angle of repose, Carr’s compressibility index, and Hausner’s ratio. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Organoleptic characters of Haritaki revealed dark brown color, characteristic odor, astringent taste and fine texture. Physicochemical parameters resulted in water-soluble extractive (67.32±0.83), alcohol-soluble extractive (42.6±1.20), total ash (3.18±0.12), acid insoluble ash (2.78±0.66) and LOD (6.37±0.53) respectively. The phytochemical analysis shows the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, carbohydrates and phenols.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Capsicum species are known in food and trado-medicinal uses for maladies management due their rich content of phytochemicals, but with little work done on &lt;em&gt;in silico&lt;/em&gt; bioprospection of its volatilome. Objectives: This study targeted chemometric profiling, virtual bioprospection of potential lead metabolites in 2 &lt;em&gt;Capsicum annuum&lt;/em&gt; L. fruit variants’ (green and red) to identify lead gyrase B inhibitors (GBIs) and provide new mechanistic insights. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Metabolites were profiled using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and quantitative phytochemical assays. Extracts antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, FRAP) and antibacterial (susceptibility testing) activities were also determined.&lt;em&gt; In silico&lt;/em&gt; [docking, pharmacokinetics, DFT] analyses were used to identify and predict chemical features of potential lead GBIs key to extracts molecular mechanism of action. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Mass spectral analysis identified hydrocarbons, fatty acid and other derivatives. Quantitative phytochemical analysis showed flavonoids, cardiac glycosides and alkaloids. The green&lt;em&gt; C. annuum&lt;/em&gt; extract had better antioxidative action, while extracts of both green and red variant showed similar antimicrobial profiles against resistant bacterial pathogens. &lt;em&gt;In silico &lt;/em&gt;highest docking scores were observed for [1-Ethyloctyl) cyclohexane (-6.6 kcal/mol)] and dibutyl phthalate (-6.4 kcal/mol). All lead GBIs had desirable pharmacokinetics in line with the Lipinski rule of 5, and chemical reactivity properties. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;In silico&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;methods combination provided robust metabolomic profiling. The identified lead &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;annuum&lt;/em&gt;-based natural GBIs contribute to the bioactivity profile and molecular mechanism of action of fractions. The study provided a first-hand report on natural GBIs derivable from Capsicum fruits which could be exploited in formulations for non-food and pharmaceutical applications.&lt;/p&gt;

Green plants generally contain phytochemical compounds, such as vegetables and plants that add aroma to dishes, one of which is curry leaves (Murraya Koenigii). This research aims to identify the phytochemical compounds contained in curry leaves. This research was carried out from August 2023 to October 2023. The curry leaves that were obtained were converted into extract form and then the extract was tested for the content of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenolics and tannins. The research results showed that curry leaf extract contained 23.73% alkaloids, 1.24% flavonoids, 8.74% saponins, 4.4% phenolics, and 5.2% tannins. Alkaloids in plants have a role as a defense against biotic and abiotic disorders. The benefits of flavonoids in plants include anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-carcinogenic. Saponins have various benefits in the health sector, including being able to reduce cholesterol concentrations in the blood. Polyphenols have good antioxidant power because this group can provide electrons to neutralize free radical electrons formed in the body. Tannins also consist of polyphenolic compounds which have antibacterial, antioxidant and astringent activities. The results of the analysis regarding the content of secondary metabolite compounds in curry leaf extract play an important role in the development of future medicines and need to be carried out to provide knowledge to the public.

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction: &lt;/strong&gt;Durian (Durio zibethinus) fruit skin contains antibacterial compounds. The antibacterial content in durian skin (Durio zibethinus) such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, phenols and tannins can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhosa and Staphylococcus aureus and act as a disinfection agent. This research aims to determine the secondary metabolite compounds and antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract of Soya durian peel against the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This type of research is a laboratory experiment, including making Soya durian peel extract using the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The antibacterial activity test was carried out using the liquid dilution method to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) value and the solid dilution method to determine the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) value. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on qualitative phytochemical screening, Soya durian peel ethanol extract contains secondary metabolite compounds with an average content of 4.24% alkaloids, 22.95% flavonoids, 1.74% saponins, 57.41% phenols and 2.27% tannins. Soya durian peel extract has an MIC against E. coli ATCC 25922 bacteria of 3.12%, while the MBC value of Soya durian peel extract against E. coli ATCC 25922 bacteria is 6.25%. The results of the One Way ANOVA analysis of the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) data have a significant value of 0.00 &amp;lt; 0.05. The results of the Pearson correlation test (r) showed a significant number of 0.000 (p &amp;lt; 0.05), the Pearson correlation coefficient between concentration and number of bacterial colonies was (r) = 0.812. This means that the higher the concentration of Soya durian peel ethanol extract given, the less the number of E.coli ATCC 2592 bacterial colonies will be reduced. The results of a simple linear regression test showed that the value of Y = 245.618 – 29.016 245,618 colonies and each increase in the concentration of Soya durian peel ethanol extract by 1% will cause a decrease in the number of bacterial colonies to 29,016 colonies. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Soya durian skin extract has antibacterial compounds that can kill pathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria in raw drinking water.&lt;/p&gt;

Moench (&lt;em&gt;A. esculentus&lt;/em&gt;) commonly known as okra is being used as a medicinal plant traditionally, due to its phytochemical content that exhibits significant biological activities. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study was undertaken to determine phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and embryotoxic effects of hexane extract (HE), chloroform extract (CE), methanol extract (ME), and aqueous extract (AE) of &lt;em&gt;A. esculentus &lt;/em&gt;cultivated in Malaysia. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;em&gt; A. esculentus&lt;/em&gt; extracts were screened for the phytochemicals while&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;antioxidant activities were evaluated by performing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhidrazyl (DPPH) assay and reducing power assay. Meanwhile, the embryotoxicity were accessed by exposing zebrafish embryos to the extracts and developmental endpoint recorded with median lethal concentration (LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;)&lt;strong&gt;. Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, anthraquinones, alkaloids and reducing sugars. The highest phenolic content was obtained in the CE at 143.85 μg (GAE)/mg extract. Whereas the HE depicted the highest flavonoid content at 63.76 μg (QE)/mg extract. At 1000 μg/mL, ME showed the highest free radical scavenging activity at 28.86 % and reducing power at 0.271, in both DPPH and reducing power assay, respectively. While the CE presented a significant embryotoxic effect on zebrafish with the LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; at 236.07 μg/mL. The morphological malformation of embryos, scoliosis and pericardial oedema were observed at 500 μg/mL of HE and ME treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; As a result, with various ranges of phytochemical compounds, antioxidant capacities and lower toxic effects of&lt;em&gt; A. esculentus &lt;/em&gt;extracts may be efficient in reducing the inflammation precursors that drive chronic inflammatory illnesses.&lt;/p&gt;

Hence, this work was designed to evaluate its phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and antioxidant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The aqueous (AE) and ethanolic (EE) extracts of &lt;em&gt;P. hysterophorus &lt;/em&gt;flowers were obtained by decoction and ultrasound, respectively. Their phytochemical composition was determined by colorimetric tests and RP-HPLC-MS analysis. Their cytotoxic activity was tested by a hemolysis assay. The antioxidant activity was evaluated with the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and hydroxyl radical (-OH) scavenging assays. In addition, the effect of the extracts on the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) from human erythrocytes, was evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The phytochemical screening of the AE and EE by colorimetric test showed the presence of flavonoids, steroids, triterpenes, saponins, coumarins, sesquiterpene lactones, tannins, and carbohydrates. In addition, the RP-HPLC-MS analysis identified some phenolic compounds such as flavonols, methoxyflavonols, flavones, methoxyflavones, and hydroxycinnamic acids. The hemolysis assay showed non-cytotoxic activity by AE, but EE exhibited a hemolytic effect. Furthermore, the AE and EE showed significant antioxidant activity to inhibit radicals in the TEAC, DPPH and -OH scavenging assays. Moreover, the SOD activity only showed a significant increase by AE. However, the two crude extracts increased the CAT activity, at the highest concentrations.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;P. hysterophorus &lt;/em&gt;has phytochemicals with antioxidant activity to inhibit radicals and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes &lt;em&gt;in vitro.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The mouth features a diverse microbiota that grows on oral surfaces as functionally and structurally organized biofilms. The oral biofilms are accountable for causing a wide range of chronic diseases and owing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria it has really become tough to treat with efficacy. Operative control of oral biofilm and the resulting infectious diseases epitomizes a significant universal challenge. For this kind of therapeutics, natural herbal products are perfect candidates because of their unique properties. The current review presents a novel approach to control and eradicate oral biofilm by the phytochemicals.

This study investigated the &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of crude extracts from the seed coat and pulp of &lt;em&gt;Strychnos madagascariensis&lt;/em&gt;. The phytochemical screening was carried out using standard protocols. Different extracts were prepared from the fruit parts by maceration using methanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water for antioxidant and antidiabetic assays, and their percentage yield was calculated. The antioxidant potential of the extracts was determined using 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) and 2’2- diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Antidiabetic activities of the extracts were investigated using α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase assays. Terpenoids, alkaloids and cardiac glycosides were present in both the fruit parts. However, saponin present in the fruit pulp was absent in the seed coat (testa). The percentage yields are as follows; water &amp;gt; ethyl acetate &amp;gt; hexane &amp;gt; methanol (seed coat) and methanol &amp;gt; water &amp;gt; ethyl acetate &amp;gt; hexane (fruit pulp), respectively. The crude extracts scavenged ABTS and DPPH radicals in different degrees. The aqueous extract of the pulp and seed coat (testa) showed significant (P &amp;lt; 0.05) higher scavenging activity against ABTS (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.012 and 0.006 mg/ml) and DPPH (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.06 mg/ml and 0.064 mg/ml) radicals than other extracts. The crude extracts inhibited α-amylase, α-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase. The aqueous and methanol extracts of the fruit parts showed better amylase inhibitory activity than other extracts. The aqueous extract of the seed coat (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.0785 mg/ml) showed the highest glucosidase inhibitory activity. In addition, methanol extract of the seed coat (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;; 0.069 mg/ml) exhibited the highest inhibitory activity on pancreatic lipase compared to the extracts in other solvents. Hence, the aqueous and methanol crude extracts of Strychnos madagascariensis seed coat and fruit pulp could be used in the preparation of nutraceutical products for managing diabetic mellitus.&lt;/p&gt;

The current study focuses on the use of &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum &lt;/em&gt;in their wound healing applications. &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum&lt;/em&gt; is a well-known plant that has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic properties and it is also used to treat joint pains, muscle tears, back pain, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study methanolic extracts of the active compounds from &lt;em&gt;Cardiospermum halicacabum &lt;/em&gt;were tested for its phytochemical attributes by qualitative method, GC-MS, and the antioxidant properties were also assessed. The bactericidal activity and Minimal Inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant extract has been evaluated in both Gram +ve and Gram -ve microorganisms using the disc diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results obtained showed the presence of significant antibacterial and antioxidant activity. The plant extract was found to be more active against Gram positive microbes compared to Gram negative microbes. The extract has the radical scavenging activity of about 77%. And the GCMS results showed the presence of different phytocompounds which are greatly known for their pharmacognistic activities.&lt;/p&gt;

This study evalued the phytochemicals and anti-tyrosinase activities of 16 plant species of &lt;em&gt;Alpinia, Amomum, Curcuma, Etlingera&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Kaemferia &lt;/em&gt;(Zingiberaceae). &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The extractions of dried powdered rhizomes were performed using n-hexane, ethylacetate and ethanol. Percentage extract yield of the samples varied among species and solvent extracts. Chemical groups (alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, steroids and terpenoids) were identified using phytochemical screening. The total phenolic contents (TPC) were analyzed using the Folin-Ciocalteu’s reagent, while antioxidant activities were detected using 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothizoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS.+). The anti-tyrosinase was expressed to the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) value (mg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The ethyl acetate extract of &lt;em&gt;Amomum &lt;/em&gt;showed the highest value of TPC. The strongest antioxidant activity were found in &lt;em&gt;Amomum&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Kaemferia&lt;/em&gt; extracts, while ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of all samples have a better antioxidant properties than the n-hexane extracts. On the other hand, the n-hexane extracts have the highest anti-tyrosinase potential in all samples and of these, &lt;em&gt;Curcuma&lt;/em&gt; extracts were the best group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our research indicated that plants of the Zingiberaceae would be new sources of antioxidants and anti-tyrosinase for further natural product developments in cosmetics, food or nutraceuticals.&lt;/p&gt;

Scientific study to ascertain its claimed biological activity is lacking. The objective of this work was to determine the antioxidant and anticancer activity of &lt;em&gt;Paris polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; rhizomes. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical analysis were carried out by standard methods. Antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract was carried out by DPPH, ABTS, OH-radical and Fe&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt;chelating activity assays. Cytotoxicity of the extract was determined by MTT assay on three cancer cell lines: HeLa, HepG2 and PC3. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Of the &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from two altitudinal zones, &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from Tholung (PPT), the one from the higher altitude showed higher total phenolic contents in methanolic extracts of rhizomes as compraed to that from the lower altitude i.e., &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from Uttaray (PPU). PPT also showed a higher content of total falvonoid and total flavonols. Both types of plant were excellent scavenger of DPPH and ABTS radical and Fe&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; chelator. A trend of a relatively greater antioxidant activity of PPT was established through these assay methods. In MTT assay, both the extract showed significant dose-dependent inhibition of HeLa cell growth after 72 hrs of treatment, while the extract had a moderately positive effect on the inhibition of PC3 and HepG2 cells growth.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The study suggested a strong antioxidant activity and appreciable cytotoxic activity of&lt;em&gt; P. polyphylla &lt;/em&gt;from Sikkim Himalaya. Of the two varieties, PPT was more pronounced in both type of activities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;: Flower buds of Sirunagapoo (&lt;em&gt;Mesua ferrea&lt;/em&gt;) are used in Siddha system of medicine as carminative, astringent and anti-vatha. It is traditionally used to treat various diseases like cough, venerial, white discharge, diarrhea, over-bleeding and peripheral neuritis. It is one of the major ingredients in Amukkara choornam, Inji choornam and Elathi choornam which are used for indigestion, loss of appetite and gastritis. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Pharmacognostic characters of &lt;em&gt;M. ferrea&lt;/em&gt; flower bud were studied through powder microscopy. Both ethanol and aqueous extracts were investigated for phytochemical screening, total phenolic content, &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and the ethanolic extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Powder microscopy of flower buds of &lt;em&gt;M. ferrea&lt;/em&gt; revealed the presence of brachysclereids, macrosclereids, starch grain, crystals and parenchyma cells. The powdered material exhibited 6.07% of loss on drying, 2.93% of total ash, 11.34% of water-soluble extractive and pH value 5.35. Data showed the presence of sterols only in ethanol extract and phenols, flavanoids, saponins and coumarins in both ethanol and aqueous extracts. Ethanolic extract was found to contain higher concentration of total phenols (1030 mg GAE/L) when compared to aqueous extract. Totally forty compounds were detected in GC-MS analysis and the major compound is eugenol (61%) and cinnamaldehyde (15%). In vitro studies revealed antioxidant in terms of DPPH free radical scavenging property (IC-&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; = 229.7 mg/ml) remarkable anti-inflammatory activity using RBC membrane stabilization assay (70.27%) were noted. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: This study provides the pharmacognostic standards, phytochemical profile, major volatile compounds and in vitro properties of &lt;em&gt;Mesua ferrea&lt;/em&gt; flower bud.&lt;/p&gt;

Despite its wide usage, there is still need to continue scientifically evaluating its medicinal properties in order to avoid any adverse effects. Elucidating the detailed chemical composition of this plant is a significant step towards this evaluation.&lt;strong&gt; Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of this study was to conduct LC MS analysis on the ethanolic extracts of fruits and leaves of &lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt; for detection of novel metabolites. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Leaves and fruits of &lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt; were collected from Eastern Uganda during the month January 2018. Extraction was conducted using the tissue homogenization method and the extracts were analyzed on an LC/SQ MS detection system. The results were obtained by analyzing the MS spectra using the retentions time and fragmentation patterns on the NIST Library.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study revealed that the fruits extracts contain 1,3-Dimethylthiourea and (4-chlorophenyl)-[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-2-[(Z)-3-(dimethylamino) prop-1-enyl]quinolin-6-yl]-(3-methylimidazol-4-yl)methanol, which are reported antioxidant and antineoplastic agents. The leaves contained 2,4,6-Tribromoaniline another antioxidant and antineoplastic agent, while compound (dichlorozirconium(2+);dimethyl-bis(2-methyl-4- phenylinden-1-id-1-yl)silane was found in both extracts of fruits and leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The current study suggests that ethanolic extracts of fruits and leaves of&lt;em&gt; Annona muricata &lt;/em&gt;contain compounds which are potent antioxidant, antineoplastic and therapeutic agents for various conditions and paves the way for the development of several treatment regimens from these plant parts. Finally, the compounds reported in this study have been identified for the first time as being found in &lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

The extracts obtained were screened for the presence of phytoconstituents by qualitative phytochemical analysis; the anti-inflammatory activity of extracts at 250 and 500mg/Kg body weight concentrations were assessed by &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; Carrageenan induced rat paw edema model and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; HRBC membrane stabilization assay whereas Tail immersion and Hot plate methods have been used to evaluate their analgesic property. Results: The results revealed that, all extracts treated animals have shown significant decrease in paw edema volume at 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; and 4&lt;sup&gt;th &lt;/sup&gt;hour of treatment and increase in reaction time in tail immersion and hot plate readings at 120 and 150 min and are comparable to the standards. From the results it was evident that Citron peel extract exhibited significant antiinflammatory and analgesic property in all models. Preliminary phytochemical investigation revealed that extracts were bestowed with presence of flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides, alkaloids, carotenoids and phenolic compounds which might be responsible for the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the results it was evident that all citrus fruits have prominent activity in terms of parameters assessed in a dose dependent manner and are more effective in the later phase. The study thus documents that Citrus peels are good sources of anti-inflammatory and anti-nociceptive agents.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6s</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">s172</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pallavi Malleshappa&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Ramesh Chapeyil Kumaran&lt;sup&gt;1,*&lt;/sup&gt;, Krishna Venkatarangaiah&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Sameera Parveen&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Phytochemical constituents were investigated both qualitatively and quantitatively. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The leaf extracts of &lt;em&gt;Cerbera odollam Gaertn&lt;/em&gt; were prepared by drying and extracted using Soxhlet apparatus into methanol and aqueous media, which were subjected to phytochemical screening. Total phenols, tannins, flavanols, alkaloids and its antioxidant activity were determined using spectroscopic techniques. Antimicrobial activity were determined using well diffusion method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Aqueous extract exhibits higher content of phenols, tannins, flavanols and alkaloids, whereas methanol extract exhibits higher content of anthocyanin and cardiac glycoside respectively. Aqueous extract exhibits higher inhibitory concentration (IC %) value for DPPH (2, 2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and H&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; radical scavenging assay and reducing power (RP) assay. The methanol extracts exhibited higher inhibitory concentration (IC %) value in SO and NO radical scavenging assay, exhibiting antioxidant properties in five antioxidant models that were investigated. The methanol extract showed some antibacterial activity against&lt;em&gt; Bacillus subtilis,&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli &lt;/em&gt;with inhibitory zone ranging from 2 mm to 3 mm, whereas the aqueous extract showed no activity. High antifungal activity was found against &lt;em&gt;Saccharomyces cerevisiae&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; for methanol extract and moderate for aqueous extract with inhibitory zone ranging from 9mm to 26 mm. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The finding of our study have suggested that the extracts of &lt;em&gt;Cerbera odollam Gaertn&lt;/em&gt;, possesses a significant amount of phytochemicals and exhibits antioxidant and antifungal activities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">285</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abinash Sahoo, Thankamani Marar* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Research on Moringa mainly pivoted around its leaves and seeds because of their immense nutraceutical potential but recently there is a greater interest in flowers too, mostly inspired by the positive outcomes of several pharmacognostical studies on flowers. Moringa flower is a rich reservoir of bioactive phytochemicals and crude flower extracts showed promising antibacterial, antifungal, anti larval, antioxidant, anti inflammatory and anticancer properties. This review concisely presents the various phytochemicals identified and isolated as well as the various bioassays employed to validate the therapeutic potential of flower. It is prepared after a detailed search on Google scholar. Reports on &lt;em&gt;Moringa oleifera&lt;/em&gt; flower were sorted and tabulated based on the bioassays performed and solvents used for extraction. A grading pattern is adopted for comparing efficiency of different extracts in eliciting bioactivities. Many of these studies are at the preliminary stage but two of them present advanced mechanisms. First is the presence of a proteinaceous larvicidal compound &amp;lsquo;MoFTI&amp;rsquo; in the flower capable of inhibiting larval trypsin of &lt;em&gt;Aedes aegypti&lt;/em&gt;. The second describes flower extract&amp;rsquo;s anti inflammatory mechanism effecting via NF-KB pathway and consequent suppression of inflammatory mediators&amp;rsquo; activation, but short of identifying lead compound/compounds behind this effect. Thus authors suggest further studies to elucidate the detailed mechanisms, identify and isolate the active compound or compounds of synergism behind the many therapeutic potential of the Moringa flower extracts.&lt;/p&gt;

In phtyochemical evaluation, when compare with all other solvents, Ethanolic extracts shows maximum extractive value. In case of ethyl acetate, it shows very low extractive value in all three phyto-chemicals. In phytochemical evaluation studies, total phenolic content of leaves shows highest in ethanolic extract (33.17 &amp;plusmn; 4.72 mg/g) and lowest in ethyl acetate extract from flower (4.71 &amp;plusmn; 0.07 mg/g), Similarly, flavonoid content of leaves shows highest in ethanolic extract (1.43 &amp;plusmn; 0.01 mg/g) and lowest in aqueous extract of flower (0.23 &amp;plusmn; 0.09 mg/g) but in case of tannin content, flower extracts shows higher tannin content in ethanolic extract (844.59 &amp;plusmn; 10.38 mg/g) whereas lowest tannin content in leaf ethyl acetate extract (9.54 &amp;plusmn; 6.98 mg/g).&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This is first report of comparative studies on total phenolic, flavonoid and tannin content of various solvent extracts both leaves and flowers from &lt;em&gt;Peltophorum pterocarpum&lt;/em&gt; (DC) K Heyne.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">140</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Rationale of pharmacological potentials of these plants are still unclear, even if few preliminary studies are available in literature for individual plants. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study was conducted for comparative assessment of antioxidant, antibacterial, and antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The rhizome of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;and leaf of &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were extracted in methanol, ethanol and water. Phytochemicals of each extracts of &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; were analyzed. The antioxidant potential of all the extracts was assessed by measuring total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and free radical scavenging potential was assessed by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, antibacterial activity was assessed against various pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; by Kirby-Bauer agar well diffusion method and antidiabetic activity was assessed by &amp;alpha;-amylase inhibition. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Both the plant showed presence of all the tested phytochemicals. It was observed that methanolic extracts of both the plants have higher phenolic content than ethanolic and aqueous extracts, however ethanolic extracts &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt; shows higher flavonoid contents. Both the plant shows similar DPPH scavenging and metal chelating activity. It was also observed that the antidiabetic potential of &lt;em&gt;A. galanga &lt;/em&gt;is greater than &lt;em&gt;E. foetidum&lt;/em&gt;. The methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the plants shows quite similar and good antibacterial potential than the aqueous extracts.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study suggests that both &lt;em&gt;Alpinia galanga&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Eryngium foetidum&lt;/em&gt; plants of Manipur could be used as herbal remedies for the treatment of diabetes mellitus as well as managing oxidative stress and oxidative stress related disorders.&lt;/p&gt;

Treatment of these disorders with prolonged administration of synthetic drugs will lead to severe side effects. In the recent years, scientists have focused the attention of research towards phytochemicals to cure neurological disorders. Nootropic herb refers to the medicinal role of various plants/parts for their neuroprotective properties by the active phytochemicals including alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, phenolics, flavonoids, etc. Phytocompounds from medicinal plants play a major part in maintaining the brain&amp;#39;s chemical balance by acting upon the function of receptors for the major inhibitory neurotransmitters. Medicinal plants viz. &lt;em&gt;Valeriana officinalis, Nardostachys jatamansi, Withania somnifera, Bacopa monniera, Ginkgo biloba and Panax ginseng&lt;/em&gt; have been used widely in a variety of traditional systems of therapy because of their adaptogenic, psychotropic and neuroprotective properties.

impairment, depression, seizures, Parkinson&amp;#39;s disease, etc. are predominantly appearing in the current era due to the stress full lifestyle. Treatment of these disorders with prolonged administration of synthetic drugs will lead to severe side effects. In the recent years, scientists have focused the attention of research towards phytochemicals to cure neurological disorders. Nootropic herb refers to the medicinal role of various plants/parts for their neuroprotective properties by the active phytochemicals including alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, phenolics, flavonoids, etc. Phytocompounds from medicinal plants play a major part in maintaining the brain&amp;#39;s chemical balance by acting upon the function of receptors for the major inhibitory neurotransmitters. Medicinal plants viz. &lt;em&gt;Valeriana officinalis&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Nardostachys jatamansi&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Withania somnifera&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Bacopa monniera, Ginkgo biloba and Panax ginseng&lt;/em&gt; have been used widely in a variety of traditional systems of therapy because of their adaptogenic, psychotropic and neuroprotective properties. This review highlights the importance of phytochemicals on neuroprotective function and other related disorders, in particular their mechanism of action and therapeutic potential.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;G.
