The research utilized a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 4 treatment factors and 3 replications. Treatments involved different leaf additions during the preparation of the fish peptide extract: control (A0), bay leaves (A1), basil leaves (A2), and both bay and basil leaves (A3). Parameters observed were protein content analysis, degree of hydrolysis, and protein profile using SDS-PAGE. The results of protein content analysis showed no significant effect on protein content, with averages of 6.25% for treatment A0, 6.09% for A1, 10.83% for A2, and 9.80% for A3. The degree of hydrolysis results indicated highly significant differences, confirmed by Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test at a 5% significance level: 22.21% for A0, 41.82% for A1, 52.76% for A2, and 43.66% for A3. This demonstrates very significant variation among treatments. The protein profile analysis of the snakehead fish peptide extract showed that treatments involving the addition of bay leaves and basil leaves affected the molecular weight of proteins in the range of 10-140 kDa and the number of protein bands produced.&lt;/p&gt;

They were characterized using UVVis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Antioxidant study was based on NO, H2O2, superoxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging spectrophotometric methods. The in vitro anti-inflammatory test was based on a protein (egg albumin) denaturation assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Results showed CT-Ag NPs ranged from spherical to cubic shapes. The UV absorption peak at 427 nm suggests CT-Ag NP formation. The presence of elemental Ag (96.04 %) by EDX analysis suggests the conversion of metallic silver into elemental silver. The crystallinity of the nanoparticles was shown on the X-ray diffractogram as a sharp peak at 38.12° [reflection index (111)] with an average particle size of 47 nm. CT-Ag NPs showed dose-dependent hydroxyl and nitric oxide radical scavenging activities with 67.63 ± 0.78 % and 58.48 ± 1.20 %, respectively, at 200 μg/mL. It showed a notable anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting protein denaturation with an IC50 of 53.58 ± 17.78 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; It can be deduced from this study that CT-Ag NPs show promise as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.&lt;/p&gt;

This study evaluated the photoprotective effects of topical pumpkin seed (&lt;em&gt;Cucurbita moschata&lt;/em&gt;) extract cream against UVB-induced skin damage in Wistar rats. CPD (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer), MDA (malondialdehyde), MMP-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1) levels, and collagen density were assessed. UVB exposure significantly increased CPD, MDA, and MMP- 1 levels while reducing collagen density. Treatment with pumpkin seed extract cream, particularly at 10% concentration, markedly reduced CPD and MDA levels (&lt;em&gt;P ≤ &lt;/em&gt;0.05), indicating potent DNA repair support and antioxidant activity likely attributable to phenolic and flavonoid compounds. MMP-1 levels were significantly decreased, approaching normal values, suggesting inhibition of collagen degradation through anti-inflammatory and anti-matrix degradation mechanisms. Histological examination revealed higher collagen density and more organized collagen fibers in treated groups compared with negative control and placebo. These findings indicate that &lt;em&gt;Cucurbita moschata &lt;/em&gt;seed extract cream exerts strong photoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-preserving effects, with the 10% formulation showing the greatest efficacy.&lt;/p&gt;

Cell viability (MTT assay), tyrosinase activity (L-DOPA assay), and melanin content were measured. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; GC-MS identified 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester (E,E) as the predominant compound (45.88%), while HPLC confirmed a relatively low TQ concentration (0.04%). EE BCS maintained &amp;gt;90% cell viability at concentrations up to 12.50 ppm and exhibited an IC50 of 56.41 ppm. Tyrosinase activity significantly increased at 6.25 ppm (136.40%; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) and 12.50 ppm (228.10%; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.01), accompanied by a significant elevation in melanin content (226.00%; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05 and 266.90%; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.01 respectively). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;EE BCS can effectively promote melanogenesis, despite containing low levels of thymoquinone, potentially through synergistic actions of its phytochemical constituents. Given its region-specific phytochemical richness, Indonesian &lt;em&gt;N. sativa&lt;/em&gt; extract holds promise as a natural therapeutic candidate for vitiligo. Further &lt;em&gt;in-vivo&lt;/em&gt; and clinical validation is warranted.&lt;/p&gt;

The tubers of this plant are consumed by local tribes in northern Kerala during times of famine, and they are believed to enhance bone and muscle strength. Furthermore, it is incorporated with other ingredients in their traditional postnatal rejuvenation preparations. However, this plant which is infrequently examined for its biochemical impacts on humans. This research aimed to identify the phytochemicals present in the tuber and leaf of &lt;em&gt;Dioscorea transversa&lt;/em&gt; and to assess solvent extracts for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The leaf sample demonstrated a notable concentration of phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, while the tuber was rich in saponins, proteins, and steroids. It was noted that the aqueous methanolic extract of the leaves (AqML) exhibited superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in comparison to the other five extracts explored.

Then, the &lt;em&gt;C. trifolia&lt;/em&gt; leaf extracts were assessed for antioxidant activity by the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging and FRAP assay. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by the Folin- Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. Antidiabetic activity was evaluated by determination of α-glucosidase inhibitory effect. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Preliminary phytochemical analysis of ethanol and 50% ethanol extracts of &lt;em&gt;C. trifolia&lt;/em&gt; leaves showed positive results for alkaloids, coumarin, tannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, and steroids. The 50% ethanol extract had the best antioxidant activities of the three antioxidant assays (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05). The results revealed higher phenolic and flavonoid contents in 50% ethanol extract than in the other extracts (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Moreover, the 50% ethanol extract exhibited the best potential as α-glucosidase inhibitors of all the extracts and acarbose (&lt;em&gt;p &lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt; 0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The results conclude that the &lt;em&gt;C. trifolia&lt;/em&gt; leaves with 50% ethanol as the solvent possessed the potential to extract the highest levels of phytochemical content and have potential antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities for diabetic therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

Its exposure in high concentration can accumulate in many organs that damage various organs in living organisms like humans and animals. Although aluminum (Al) is known to induce oxidative damage through various mechanisms including binding to negatively charged phospholipids on the membrane of various tissue cell which are rich in PUFA.Hence,this study was aimed to find the potential role of ashwagandha on aluminum induced testicular toxicity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Animals were segregated into 4 groups of 6 rats in each. The control group, the Ashwagandha treated group, the Aluminum intoxicated group, pretreated with Ashwagandha with Aluminum intoxicity group. Testicular tissue was removed and were stored in 10% formalin saline and histopathological slides were done . A part of the tissues were processed for estimation of MDA and GSH level. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In the present study administration of aluminum in rats showed a significant decrease in the testicular tissue level of GSH and sperm count, as well as increase in the level of MDA and sperm morphology in aluminum treated group compared to normal control. Treatment with Ashwagandha showed a significant increase in testicular GSH level, sperm count and decrease in MDA level sperm morphology. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of this study revealed that oral Aluminum Chloride administration induced adverse oxidative effects on the exposed animals and treatment with&lt;em&gt; W. somnifera &lt;/em&gt;reduced the extent of aluminium chloride-induced tissue injury&lt;/p&gt;

A polyherbal formulation derived from &lt;em&gt;Dasiphora fruticosa, Cynara scolymus&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;Rosa acicularis&lt;/em&gt; has previously demonstrated antioxidant and nephroprotective properties. However, comprehensive toxicological and mutagenicity evaluations are needed to support its clinical development. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the acute and subchronic toxicities and mutagenic potential of this polyherbal formulation.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Acute oral toxicity was assessed in C57BL/6 mice using a two-phase protocol based on Lorke's method. Subchronic toxicity was evaluated in Wistar rats following OECD guideline 407, with daily oral administration of the polyherbal formulation at doses of 500 and 1,000 mg/kg for 28 days. Mutagenicity was assessed using the Muta-Chromoplate (Ames test) kit according to OECD guideline 471. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Acute toxicity evaluation determined that the median lethal dose (LD&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) of the polyherbal formulation exceeds 5,000 mg/kg, categorising it as practically nontoxic. The subchronic toxicity assessment revealed that doses of 500 and 1,000 mg/kg had no significant effects on body and organ weight, haematological and biochemical parameters, and histopathological features compared with the controls. Furthermore, the Ames test confirmed that the polyherbal formulation had no mutagenic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The polyherbal formulation exhibited no acute toxicity at doses up to 5,000 mg/kg, and no adverse effects were observed in a 28-day subchronic toxicity study. Furthermore, its favourable safety profile was further confirmed by its lack of mutagenic potential. Collectively, these findings provide a robust foundation for continued preclinical and clinical development of the polyherbal formulation&lt;/p&gt;

This study aims to create a performance assessment instrument for the Preconception Posyandu so that it can maintain the existence of the service. The development of performance assessment indicators through Focus Discussion Group (FGD) activities using the Europan Foundation Quality Management (EFQM) method consists of using 9 variables. We involved 30 village midwives and 30 preconception women at three health centers within Luwuk City to test the performance assessment instrument. Internal reliability was assessed with Cronbach's alpha and criterion validity. The performance appraisal instrument using the EFQM method obtained development results, namely from 52 indicator questions made into 92 questions, then after testing the validity of the instrument, 81 questions were declared valid and 11 questions were invalid. The results of Cronbach's alpha value, there are 5 variables with strong reliability (alpha&amp;gt; 0.80), namely leadership variables, strategic policies, staff management and partnerships and resources, while there is 1 variable with perfect reliability (alpha&amp;gt; 0.90), namely process variables, and 3 variables with sufficient reliability (alpha &amp;gt; 0.70), namely performance outcome variables, customer satisfaction and impact on society. The questions generated from the development of indicators can be used to measure performance. The service of the Preconception Posyandu Program that has been running so far, this is evidenced by the average value of the reliability test which is 0.83, which means strong reliability.&lt;/p&gt;

Difficulties in diagnosis and the adverse effects of conventional treatments have driven the search for alternatives, such as &lt;em&gt;Dracontium spruceanum&lt;/em&gt; (&quot;sacha jergón&quot;), an Amazonian plant containing compounds with potential activity against &lt;em&gt;Leishmania&lt;/em&gt; spp., whose efficacy still requires scientific validation. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To determine the effect of the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Dracontium spruceanum &lt;/em&gt;against &lt;em&gt;Leishmania&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Detection of &lt;em&gt;Leishmania &lt;/em&gt;(Viannia) spp. kDNA was performed by PCR using primers MP1-L and MP3-H, with LTB-300 (L. (V.) braziliensis) and DNAfree water as controls. Promastigotes were isolated from cutaneous lesion scrapings and cultured in biphasic medium, achieving differentiation into axenic amastigotes in Schneider medium, with pH 4.7 as the optimal condition for complete conversion. Plant material of &lt;em&gt;Dracontium spruceanum&lt;/em&gt; collected in Ucayali (Peru) was processed to obtain an aqueous extract (100 mg/mL). The antiparasitic activity of the extract was evaluated by the MTT assay against promastigotes and amastigotes, using Glucantime as a positive control. Data obtained were analyzed by ANOVA, considering p-values &amp;lt; 0.05 as significant. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;assays with &lt;em&gt;Leishmania &lt;/em&gt;sp., administration of Glucantime (25 mg/mL) produced a significant decrease in cell viability of promastigotes (71%) and axenic amastigotes (38%) compared to the control group. Conversely, the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Dracontium spruceanum&lt;/em&gt; (8.33 mg/mL) caused a significant increase in promastigote (160%) and amastigote (179%) viability, indicating a stimulatory effect on parasite growth (p &amp;lt; 0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Discussion and conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The in vitro effect of the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Dracontium spruceanum&lt;/em&gt; on promastigotes and axenic amastigotes of &lt;em&gt;Leishmania &lt;/em&gt;sp. was investigated. Unlike Glucantime, which significantly decreased parasite viability, the extract consistently promoted proliferation in both forms. This result, uncommon in medicinal plant studies, could be linked to the presence of ceramides and cerebrosides, compounds in the genus Dracontium previously associated with mitogenic activity. Additional dose-response studies and phytochemical analysis are needed to identify the active compounds and clarify their mechanism of action.&lt;/p&gt;

Participants with the presence of Amlapitta (symptomatic gastritis), as diagnosed by the Amlapitta Symptom Rating Scale Score ≥ 5 were included in the study. Participants were advised to take Amlapitta Mishran Suspension in a dose of 15 ml twice daily for 14 days. The study involved three visits. The investigator recorded the Amlapitta Symptom Rating Scale (ASRS) Score, Post Prandial Distress Syndrome (PPDS) Score, and Epigastric Pain Syndrome (EPS) Score at screening visit (Visit 1), baseline visit (Visit 2) and final visit (Visit 3). The p&amp;lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant measured by paired t-test or Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In the multi-center study 204 participants completed the study. At final visit, a statistically significant (p&amp;lt;0.001) reduction was reported in mean Total ASRS score, PPDS score, and EPS score as compared to the baseline scores. The individual ASRS, PPDS, and EPS variables also exhibited significant reduction (p&amp;lt;0.001) at the final visit. None of the participants reported any adverse events during the study. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Amlapitta Mishran Suspension treatment for 14 days effectively and safely reduced the clinical symptoms of Amlapitta (symptomatic gastritis) assessed by Amlapitta Symptom Rating Scale, Postprandial Distress Syndrome and Epigastric Pain Syndrome scores.&lt;/p&gt;

The extract is known to contain active compounds such as flavonoids, phenolics, and triterpenoids, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were 70.31 mg GAE/g and 13.49 mg QE/g, respectively, with very strong antioxidant activity (IC&lt;sub&gt;₅₀&lt;/sub&gt; = 48.45 ppm). Evaluation through ultrasonography and histopathology revealed structural improvement in the liver of treated groups, particularly at doses of 200 and 300 mg/ kgBW, marked by reduced abnormal echogenicity and improved liver parenchyma, along with a decrease in histopathological score from 2 to 1. The administration of the extract also significantly reduced proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 (P≤0.05), as well as CRP levels, indicating strong anti-inflammatory potential. In addition, liver function showed meaningful recovery, with the highest albumin level recorded at 200 mg/kgBW (3.00 ± 0.52 g/dL), and a significant reduction in bilirubin level at 300 mg/kgBW to 0.102 ± 0.040 mg/dL. Significant decreases were also observed in SGOT and SGPT enzyme levels in the treatment groups, especially at 300 mg/kgBW, indicating protection of hepatocyte integrity. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that Centella asiatica extract possesses hepatoprotective effects through antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and liver function-restorative mechanisms. These findings support the potential development of pegagan as a phytopharmaceutical agent for adjunct therapy in liver disorders and highlight the need for further studies on its active compounds and long-term safety.&lt;/p&gt;

Its commercial products are marketed across Pretoria, South Africa. The label claims portray 4 such products contain Moringa oleifera leaves powder, extracts, or compounds inherent in the plant, and that pharmacological 5 activities of such products are intrinsically linked to them.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We investigated (n = 29) commercial products using affordable, spectrophotometric UVvis, high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), high performance liquid chromatography finger printing and chemometrics principal component analysis. The aim of the investigation was to recognize the phytochemical patterns similarity between the plant extracts and commercial products, to ascertain which product contains quercetin-3-O-glycoside or kaempferol-3-O-glycoside marker compounds known to be present in M. oleifera leaves that should mitigate the pharmacological properties of the products. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The pattern of quercetin-3-O-glycoside and kaempferol-3-O-glycoside standards conform to a peak in the ethanol extract to suggest that both compounds are present in the ethanol but not in the dichloromethane extract. The HPTLC analysis also indicated the presence of the quercetin and kaempferol glycosides in the ethanol extract at Rf of 0.18 and 0.28 respectively. As for the commercial products, only n = 3 of the 29 (≈10%) revealed patterns that were like that of the ethanol extracts. A principal component analysis with R2 = 0.97 for the DCM extract and 0.89 for the ethanol extract highlighted that commercial products P1, P7 and P24 as indicating good quality. The good quality commercial products clustered together with the quercetin-3-O-glycoside, kaempferol-3-O-glycoside, ethanol, or dichloromethane extracts while the poor-quality products were placed in a separate cluster in the PCA analysis conducted. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This implies that only these three products will exhibit expected pharmacological and other biological activities displayed on the product labels.&lt;/p&gt;

The pectoral nerve block represents a regional procedure associated with fewer adverse effects compared to alternative regional anesthetic approaches. A 74-year-old woman with a weight of 35 kg and a height of 145 cm, was diagnosed with breast cancer. The patient complained of a lump in the right breast since the last 1 year, the lump felt hard and didn't feel painful. We conducted PECS I and PECS II blocks as part of the surgical protocol for dextra Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), with the primary goal of minimizing the requirement for opioids and anesthetic agents in the context of geriatric patients. In the PECS I block, we introduced a needle into the anatomical plane situated between the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles, followed by the injection of 10 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine. In the case of the PECS II block, we administered a 20 mL dosage of ropivacaine at the third rib level above the serratus anterior muscle to ensure a wide distribution of the local anesthetic within the axillary region. The complete PECS block procedure typically spans a duration of approximately 30 minutes. The block was smooth and did not show complications, during the duration of the opioid, fentany 25 mcg was added during the axillary lymph node dissection. VAS scores at first 12 and 24 hours, 1 and 1. Thus, the PECS block can be used as an analgesic either during or postoperatively. The use of PECS 1 and 2 blocks in radical mastectomy may reduce the need for opioids for intraoperative and postoperative pain.&lt;/p&gt;

Urb., known as Bawang Dayak, is commonly found growing in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The characteristics of the environment in which the plant grows greatly influence the characteristics of the plant and its biological activity. Objective: This study aimed to determine the pharmacognostic profile and evaluate the antidiabetic activity of E. bulbosa bulb extract obtained from Kota Bangun, Kutai Kertanegara, Indonesia. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The dried powdered of E. bulbosa bulbs was extracted using two different methods (maceration and microwave-assisted extraction). The evaluation of the sample fluorescence and non-specific parameters was done. The antidiabetic activity of the extracts was conducted using streptozocin-induced mice and histopathology analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The fluorescence evaluation indicated various secondary metabolites contained in E. bulbosa simplicia. Non-specific parameters include drying loss (8.83±0.2611%), water content in simplicia (8.04±0.7481%), specific gravity (1.04±0.0058%), total ash content (20.3±0.1583%), acid insoluble ash content (1.70±0.0608%), ethanol content in extract (0.99±0.0017%), lead content (0.010 mg/g), cadmium (0.091 mg/g), Arsenic (0.0003 mg/g), aflatoxin (not detected), and mold/yeast (0.8 × 105 colonies/g) meet the established regulations. Meanwhile, the antidiabetic assay showed that both extracts decreased the blood glucose levels in mice during the 14 days of treatments in a dose-dependent manner. This activity is correlated with the increased repair of pancreatic beta cells as observed by histopathological analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The dried bulbs of E. bulbosa obtained from Kota Bangun, Kutai Kertanegara, East Kalimantan, Indonesia meet the standards set as raw materials for antidiabetic herbal medicines.&lt;/p&gt;

Qassim area is one of Saudi Arabia regions gifted with plant species with diversified metabolic content. The current research aims at evidencing the traditional use of some wild plants in management of gastrointestinal disorders.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Four plants from different plant families:&lt;em&gt; Deverra triradiata (Apiaceae), Suaeda aegyptiaca (Amaranthaceae), Heliotropium aegyptiacum, and Heliotropium bacciferum (Boraginaceae) &lt;/em&gt;were investigated for their potential antispasmodic and antidiarrheal effects. The acute toxicity study was conducted using arithmetic Kerber`s method. The antidiarrheal efficacy was investigated using in vivo castor oil induced diarrhea model. The antispasmodic activity was evaluated using isolated rabbit jejunum. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Indicated highest mortality in animals received extract of the arial parts of &lt;em&gt;D. triradiata&lt;/em&gt; (DTE), while the gum of the same plant (DTG) together with the extracts of the three plants: S. &lt;em&gt;aegyptiaca&lt;/em&gt; (SAE), H. &lt;em&gt;bacciferum&lt;/em&gt; (HBE), and H. &lt;em&gt;aegyptiacum&lt;/em&gt; (HAE) caused no signs of neither over toxicity nor death during the 24 hours. observation period following oral administration of doses up to 7-10 g/kg. In castor oil induced diarrhea, all tested extracts, except for DTE, displayed a potent antidiarrheal activity expressed as 89-94.7% delay of defecation in animals received castor oil. Antispasmodic activity testing noted HAE for powerful antispasmodic efficacy estimated as 90% inhibition of contraction at a dose of 0.1 mg/100mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The current results indicated powerful activity of H. &lt;em&gt;aegyptiacum&lt;/em&gt; and S. &lt;em&gt;aegyptiaca&lt;/em&gt; extracts in management of GITD. These findings recommend extensive phytochemical studies of both species in order to highlight the main metabolites responsible for the recorded activity.&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. This study can be a basis for bioactive content for further research to expand the use of medicinal plants in the future, especially curry plants.&lt;/p&gt;

Objective: The present study aimed to conduct the phytochemical and pharmacological evaluation of stem bark and leaf extracts of &lt;em&gt;Flueggea leucopyrus&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The collected plant material was dried, powdered, and extracted separately by soxhlation with different solvents viz., petroleum ether, n-hexane, chloroform, acetone, methanol, and water. All the extracts were subjected to phytochemical evaluation. Alkaloids were extracted and characterized from the powdered sample of leaf and bark. &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated by DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and nitric oxide radical scavenging assay and anti-inflammatory activity by inhibition of protein denaturation and Human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Extracts were found to be either semisolid or solid with different tints of green or brown colour. The preliminary phytochemical evaluation found alkaloids, glycoside, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carbohydrates, sterol, and saponin. On spectral evaluation, the presence of an alkaloid, Securinol-A was found in a fraction extracted from the bark. In the &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity the tested samples showed a concentration-dependent rise of activity, particularly, the isolated fraction and acetone extract of stem bark revealed a significant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Alkaloids, flavonoids, sterols, and saponins identified in these extracts may be responsible for these biological activities.

&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;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Caulerpa lentillifera &lt;/em&gt;also known as sea grape, is a green seaweed in the Caulerpaceae family known for its nutritional benefits and medicinal properties. This study aimed to examine the phytochemical compounds, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant and anti-arthritis properties of sea grape decoction extract. The total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the total flavonoid content was determined with the aluminum chloride colorimetric method. Antioxidant activities were evaluated using two methods: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azinobis-(3- ethylbenzothia-zoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS). The anti-arthritis activities were assessed using bovine-serum protein. The study identified that the extract contained flavonoids, saponin, terpenoids and coumarins, with the total phenolic content of 343.19 ± 9.86 μg gallic acid equivalents/ mg dry extract and the total flavonoid content of 268.48 ± 16.57 μg quercetin equivalents/ mg dry extract. The extract showed antioxidant activity with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 309.05±5.91 μg/ml using the DPPH method and 572.33±3.47 μg/ml using the ABTS method, respectively. Additionally, it exhibited anti-arthritis properties with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of 54.60±12.71 μg/ml, which was less than 1.69 times the IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of diclofenac sodium. A strong positive correlation was found between the antioxidant and anti-arthritis activities measured by the ABTS method, with an R² value of 0.9476. Therefore, this study provides initial evidence supporting the antioxidant and anti-arthritis activities of sea grape decoction extract. The extract shows potential for further development as a product for treating arthritis.&lt;/p&gt;

Poikilodermatous MF (PMF) is a rare clinical variant of MF. Systemic chemotherapy, such as methotrexate (MTX), may be administered as monotherapy or in combination at low doses in MF. A 64-year-old man with PMF has been reported. History and physical examination revealed hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules on the chest, abdomen, both arms, back, and upper legs, along with erythematous macules on the right medial thigh. The diagnosis of PMF is based on clinical manifestations and histopathological features of atypical lymphocyte cell infiltration in the epidermis. In addition, immunohistochemical examination also supports the MF diagnosis. The patient received chemotherapy consisting of monotherapy with MTX at low doses. During the third month of observation following MTX therapy, a few of the hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules appeared to have diminished; some of the erythematous macules had transformed into hyperpigmented macules, and there were no new lesions. The purpose of therapy is to control the disease. Administration of low-dose MTX as a monotherapy may result in clinical improvement, but further observation is necessary. PMF may have a better prognosis than other clinical variants of MF.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background and Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;A specific examination is required to distinguish between DVI and viral, bacterial, and parasitic illnesses because their clinical manifestations are nearly identical. Leukopenia and lymphocytosis are examples of non-specific tests that might be used to get a diagnosis. Non-structural protein 1 (NS1) antigen, anti-DENV antibody, or DENV-specific nucleic acid detection are more specific assays. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Virus isolation or molecular analysis of the detection of DENV nucleic acid ribonucleic acid (RNA) using RT-PCR was used to make the conclusive diagnosis of DVI. The sensitivity of the DENV RT-PCR method ranges from 28.8 to 99%. NS1 antigen is used as an initial diagnostic option in primary health care because it has a high specificity value (100%). Researchers want to analyze the positivity in non-DVI samples that have been confirmed by real-time RT-PCR examination with semi-quantitative NS1 antigen examination. Patient population aged 1-65 years with acute fever &amp;lt;5 days. A total of 130 samples of non-DVI confirmed patients by RT-PCR were examined for NS1Antigen ELISA. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;With a proportion of 3.08% of the total sample, the results showed that 4 NS1Antigen ELISA samples were positive. A negative DENV RT-PCR result could indicate either a true negative or a false negative. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The type of PCR technology, the primer used, the existence or absence of a DENV mutation, the DENV serotype, and the presence of mismatched nucleotides can all affect variations in DENV PCR sensitivity.&lt;/p&gt;

Despite the availability of medications to prevent and reduce disease severity, T2DM prevalence and incidence continue to rise annually. Understanding genetic heritage's impact on therapeutic responses is improving, with pharmacogenetics being used to better comprehend the therapeutic variability of T2DM. This study aims to compare the effects of metformin and Cresvin beta capsules containing Pterocarpus marsupium, Withania somnifera, Salacia reticulata, Gymnema Sylvestre, Curcuma longa, Vitis vinifera and Piper nigrum (Black pepper extract) on diabetic and immune-related gene expression in T2DM patients. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Sixty patients were divided into two groups: metformintreated (group A, n=30) and Cresvin beta -treated (group B, n=30). Anthropometric, biochemical, and hematological parameters were measured at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. Gene expression levels were analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain from DNA extracted from whole blood samples.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; After 3 months, metformin significantly reduced fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), and HbA1c levels (p&amp;lt;0.001). Cresvin beta also significantly reduced FBS (p&amp;lt;0.01), PPBS (p&amp;lt;0.001), and HbA1c (p&amp;lt;0.001). Gene expression analysis showed significant changes in SIRT1, AKT, SLC2A4, IL-6, and TNF-α in both groups. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The study demonstrated that Cresvin beta reduced glycemic levels and improved SIRT1, Pi3k, Akt, and SLC2A4 gene expression while decreasing IL-6 and TNF-α cytokine gene expression in T2DM patients.&lt;/p&gt;

Then, the mice were orally administered Orthosiphon aristatus extract for 14 days (after 7 days of induction). The doses given were divided into six groups: 17.5 mg/kgbw, 35 mg/kgbw, 70 mg/kgbw, and 140 mg/kgbw. Molecular levels such as IgE, IL4, IL22, and PGE2 were analyzed from blood samples. In addition, the severity of skin lesions was assessed morphologically, and histological examination was performed to confirm clinical improvement. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;This study showed that the administration of Orthosiphon aristatus extract reduced the severity of skin lesions in all intervention groups. Histologically, this extract reduced epidermal thickness and mast cell infiltration. These findings were also supported by dose-dependent decreases in IgE, IL4, IL22, and PGE2 levels. So, the conclusion of this study is that Orthosiphon aristatus extract shows potential for improving skin lesions in atopic dermatitis by regulating Th2 cytokines and demonstrating anti-allergic activity in a mice model with DNCBinduced atopic dermatitis.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The administration of Orthosiphon aristatus extract clinically and histologically exhibits anti-atopic effects that can be explained through the regulation of molecules such as IgE, IL4, IL22, PGE2, and NO. Orthosiphon aristatus has the potential to be a valuable herbal therapy for managing atopic dermatitis.&lt;/p&gt;

To discover SERT possible therapeutic application, it is essential to have a solid understanding of its dynamic behavior, ligand interactions, and functional consequences. Within the scope of this investigation, the predictive simulations is crucial to investigate the complexities of SERT to gain a fresh understanding of its operation. We use the 6AWN model to describe the sequence and simulate the behavior of SERT in silico. Within this simulation, we anticipate the conformational changes of SERT and its reaction to ligand binding with paroxetine, cholesterol, dodecyl-beta-D-maltose (DDM), and sodium hydrogen ion. We discover critical residues that are crucial in the interaction between ligands and proteins. They have paroxetine binding to I.172, I.172, Y.176, and F.341 are examples of hydrophobic interactions. Example of hydrogen bonds include A.96 and pi-stacking: F.341. The blockage of the serotonin transporter is the principal mechanism of action that paroxetine has. Cholesterol interacts with SERT W.500, W.500, W.500, W.500, L.504, and A.507, and it also interacts with the outward-facing conformation of this transporter in two different ways. In general, cholesterol interacts with SERT and ligands to stabilize their optimal activity and structure. DDM contact with SERT is also a part of this interaction. R.104, D.328, E.494, Y.495, G.498, P.499, T.503, F.556, L.557, S.559, P.561, Y.579, G.582, T.583, and F.586 are the numbers that are currently in use. Within the context of glucosyl transfer processes, DDM has been utilized as an acceptor. And the interaction of Na with SERT S.263, which causes a change in the structure of SERT. Serotonin transporters are present in the environment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Background:&lt;/strong&gt; Multidrug-Resistant organisms (MDRO) pose a global health threat due to overuse of antibiotics and genetic transfer of resistance. The Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, faces unique challenges in combating MDROs, necessitating tailored interventions. Objectives: This research aims to inform evidence-based treatment and infection control measures. By understanding local epidemiology, we can optimize antimicrobial prescribing and minimize resistance emergence. Comprehensive surveillance in diverse healthcare settings is crucial given the escalating antimicrobial resistance. &lt;strong&gt;Materials &amp;amp;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: This study utilized a retrospective design. Data was collected from diverse healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, from March 2022 to February 2023. Sample size was determined using OpenEpi Software, with 1500 participants needed. Data collection involved reviewing microbiological records and laboratory reports, with deidentification of personal information. Ethical approval was obtained from Shaqra University, Saudi Arabia. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study reported that 37.3% of the 1500 patients were classified as MDRO, with a higher prevalence among males (64.3%) compared to females (35.7%). MDRO prevalence varied across age groups, with the highest prevalence observed in the 70–79 age group (14.3%). Multiple invasive procedures (P = 0.002), length of stay (LOS) (P = 0.01) were independent risk factors for MDRO infection. Antimicrobial resistance patterns showed significant proportions of MDRO among Klebsiella spp., Acinetobacter spp., and Pseudomonas spp., &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The study emphasizes the urgent need for policy interventions to tackle the alarming prevalence of MDROs and combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Healthcare providers must prioritize antimicrobial stewardship and implement rigorous infection prevention measures to curb MDRO transmission. Future research should evaluate the impact of stewardship, monitor resistance trends, and explore novel treatment strategies. Collaboration among stakeholders is vital for addressing AMR comprehensively through knowledge sharing and capacity building initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;

Heavy metal pollution is a serious problem, as heavy metals are toxic and non-degradable, polluting air, water and soil. Although some heavy metals are considered essential for normal physiological functions, concentrations that exceed the prescribed limits can have negative impacts on human health and biota. Exposure to heavy metals can cause toxicity to various tissues, organs and systems such as circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, immune, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. Due to the differences in toxicity of heavy metals, risk assessment is very important in environmental management.&lt;strong&gt; Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To describe the probabilistic simulation and sensitivity of health risks due to Nickel and Cobalt deposition around the mine using monte carlo simulation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The method used in this study was literature review. Data collection was done through searching&lt;em&gt; online databases&lt;/em&gt; such as:&lt;em&gt; Pubmed &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Science Direct&lt;/em&gt;. The keywords used in the article search were &lt;em&gt;&quot;Heavy Metal Toxicity&quot;, &quot;Heavy Metal Effects&quot;, &quot;Heavy metal risk analysis&quot; &lt;/em&gt;and &quot;&lt;em&gt;Monte Carlo Simulation&lt;/em&gt;&quot;. Inclusion criteria were quantitative or qualitative research, target population was heavy metals&lt;em&gt; Nickel and Cobalt&lt;/em&gt;, published in the last 10 years (2013-2023) articles in English and articles in original, &lt;em&gt;fulltext and open access&lt;/em&gt;. Exclusion criteria are articles that are not relevant to the topic of discussion. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; 14 articles were found, of which 3 articles on diseases or health problems caused by nickel, 3 articles on nickel risk analysis, 5 articles on diseases or health problems caused by cobalt, 3 articles on cobalt risk analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The environment around the mine shows a high level of toxicity, caused by the presence of heavy metals. This can result in serious environmental pollution and pose a great threat to human health. Chronic exposure to heavy metals can cause various health problems, such as mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, teratogenesis, deformation and organ damage.&lt;/p&gt;

Monosodium iodoacetate (3.0 mg) was injected intra-articularly into the knee joint to cause osteoarthritis. For four weeks, oral administration of rutinoside at 100 mg/kg/day was given to the groups that were given the treatment. Histological examination, immunohistochemistry, and biochemical tests were used to assess the level of articular cartilage injury, oxidative damage, catabolic activity, and biomarker expression. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that treatments with rutinoside significantly reduced the damage to articular cartilage in rats with MIA-induced osteoarthritis. Compared to the osteoarthritis group, the rutinoside-treated groups showed enhanced cartilage structure, proteoglycan content, and chondrocyte organization. Immunohistochemistry revealed reduced NFκB, IL-1β, and MMP-13 expressions in the rutinosidetreated groups, indicating suppressed inflammatory and catabolic activity in chondrocytes. Additionally, rutinoside treatment increased SOD activity and decreased MDA levels, which showed less oxidative damage to the joint. A substantial drop in CTX-II levels was found by biochemical research, indicating less type II collagen breakdown. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;According to a study, rutinoside effectively reduces oxidative damage and catabolic activity in chondrocytes, which can lead to decreased articular cartilage loss in a rat model of MIA-induced osteoarthritis. The study also found that rutinoside can control critical biomarkers such as NFκB, IL-1β, SOD, MDA, MMP-13, and CTX-II, highlighting its potential as a treatment for osteoarthritis. These findings provide valuable insights into using natural chemicals as a promising treatment for OA and suggest that rutinoside could potentially modulate the critical interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and chondrocyte catabolism in osteoarthritis. However, further research is required to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms and evaluate rutinoside's translational potential for OA therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;rtejustify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction:&lt;/strong&gt; To determine SOD2 and CAT expression in lens epithelial cells with the protection of UVblocking spectacle lens and UV-blocking contact lenses after UVB radiation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; 32 eyes of&lt;em&gt; Rattus norvegicus&lt;/em&gt; mice were subjected to UVB radiation from Philips PL-S 9W/01 narrowband 311 nm lamps at a distance of 18 cm for 30 minutes. Divided into four groups: a control group, P1 group exposed to radiation, P2 group wearing UV-blocking spectacle lens, and P3 group wearing UV-blocking contact lens. The mice were euthanized three days later and had their eyes removed. Immunohistochemistry analysis was used to evaluate the expression of SOD2 and CAT. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;P1 demonstrated a statistically significant SOD2 expression (p=0.002) compared to the control group. Neither P2 nor P3 exhibited significant differences in SOD2 expression (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.693; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.365). The SOD2 of the P1 group was significantly different compared to the P2 and P3 groups (p=0.007; p=0.023). No statistically significant difference between groups P2 and P3 (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.606). The CAT levels in the P1 group significantly differed from the control group (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.001). The differences between the P2 and P3 groups and the control groups were statistically insignificant (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.894; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.120). CAT P1 group had a significant difference with P2 and P3 groups (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.001; &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.033). No statistically significant difference was observed between groups P2 and P3 (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;=0.154). Conclusions: UV-B exposure decreases the expression of SOD2 and CAT. Both protection can provide equally good protection.&lt;/p&gt;

Punicalagin (PNG) possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. Objective: The aim of the present research was to investigate the possible defensive effect of PNG against nephrotoxicity caused by GEN in male Sprague-Dawley rats. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; GEN (80 mg/kg/day, i.p.) was administered for 8 days. Treatment with PNG (25 mg/kg/day, p.o.) for 10 days, began 2 days before GEN insult. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;PNG significantly decreased serum creatinine, and malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF- κB p65), and cleaved caspase-3 activity in the kidneys of GEN-challenged rats. PNG also significantly increased renal catalase, reduced glutathione, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in rats received GEN. Additionally, PNG markedly attenuated the histopathological kidney tissue injury caused by GEN. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;PNG guarded against GEN-induced kidney damage in rats through its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects, and by modulating the balance between Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways.&lt;/p&gt;

Flowcytometry and digital imaging system could conduct automatic urine sediment analysis. Therefore, determining the diagnostic performance of the examination is very important in the management carried out by the clinician. This study aims to determine the diagnostic performance of urine flowcytometry and digital imaging sediment examination tools compared to manual microscopes that are standardized as gold standards. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach on 92 urine samples of patients who attended the Internal Medicine Nephrology Polyclinic of Dr. Soetomo Academic Hospital Surabaya. The performance of flowcytometry and digital imaging methods is assessed by calculating sensitivity and specificity. Analysis of the suitability of each urine sediment parameter used Cohen's kappa. Urine sediment analysis with a light microscope was conducted with the Shih-Yung method as a gold standard. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The erythrocyte parameters revealed a very favorable result with the concordance of the flowcytometry with the Shih-Yung method (κ=0.82) and fair results for WBC (κ=0.25), Epithelium (κ=0.57) and Cast (κ=0.27). At the same time, yeast had substantial conformity (κ=0.63). The digital imaging method showed substantive fit for WBC (κ=0.676), RBC (κ=0.621), fair for SEC (κ=0.42) and NSE (κ=0.24), moderate for Yeast (κ=0.45), and slight for Hyaline Cast (κ=0.074) and Path Cast (κ= 0.134) &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The urine flowcytometry demonstrates better performance compatibility with a standardized manual microscope compared to urine digital imaging. However, pathological samples should still be verified with a manual microscope&lt;/p&gt;

Through this study, we aim to establish a phytochemical screening and analyze and compare the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of Artemisia and star anise. The antioxidant characteristics of plant extracts we assessed, the chemical bonds and components composition were analyzed in the sample and further experiments were done to assess the antimicrobial activities. On the results, we found that all the extracts of both the species were very impactful in the inhibition of &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt;, C. &lt;em&gt;Albicans,&lt;/em&gt; and S. &lt;em&gt;aureus.&lt;/em&gt; However, S. &lt;em&gt;aureus&lt;/em&gt; was more sensitive to star anise and &lt;em&gt;E. coli&lt;/em&gt; and C. &lt;em&gt;albicans&lt;/em&gt; were inhibited better through the alcoholic extracts of &lt;em&gt;Artemisia vulgaris.&lt;/em&gt; Star anise has a higher and more effective antioxidant activity against DPPH with a calculated value of 78.3 % at a concentration of 750 ppm, at a concentration of 500 ppm it was 65.3% and in the least concentration of 250 ppm, it was 23.3% compared to&lt;em&gt; Artemisia vulgaris.&lt;/em&gt; Additionally, both extracts possessed marked antifungal action.&lt;/p&gt;

Merr has been traditionally used to treat jaundice, liver disease, diarrhea, fever, and inflammation. Judging from its potential, scientific evidence of this plant extract as an inhibitor of interleukin-1β is still lacking. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical compounds present in the 70% ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Arcangelesia flava &lt;/em&gt;stems by LC-MS/MS and to elucidate the ligand-protein interactions through &lt;em&gt;in-silico &lt;/em&gt;studies. The extract was found to contain alkaloids, flavonoids, furanoditerpene, hydroxyquinoline, phenylpropanoid, phenol, and fatty acids. According to molecular docking of the 15 compounds analyzed by LC-MS/MS, the compounds 3-hydroxy-3',4',5'-trimethoxyflavone (ΔG=-7.72 kcal/mol), fisisaine (ΔG=-6,91 kcal/mol), and demethyleneberberine (ΔG=-6.85 kcal/mol), which demonstrated the highest affinity for binding to the protein target. In addition, active amino acids contribute to this interaction by creating strong hydrogen bonds, such as MET148, LYS 103, and THR300. Phytochemical compounds from &lt;em&gt;Arcangelesia&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;flava&lt;/em&gt; may serve as adjunctive therapy or a promising source of advanced structures in drug discovery for treatments targeting interleukin-1β&lt;/p&gt;

In the traditional medicine from Peru, L chequen is used as aromatic plant, anti-inflammatory and hypocholesterolemic. Objective: To determine the phytochemical profile, evaluate the antioxidant and the antibacterial activity of &lt;em&gt;L. chequen&lt;/em&gt; essential oil. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: In the analysis of the volatile components a Gas Chromatography coupled to Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify the content of terpenes and sesquiterpenes. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was the method used to determine the antioxidant activity and obtain the half inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;). For the antibacterial activity, a colorimetric macrodilution method was carried out to evaluate the effect of the essential oil of &lt;em&gt;L. chequen&lt;/em&gt; against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The analysis by GC-MS showed two major components alpha-pinene (62.89%) followed by 1,8-cineole (11.94%), and propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methylpropyl ester with 8.67%. In the antioxidant activity against DPPH radical, the essential oil of &lt;em&gt;L. chequen&lt;/em&gt; showed an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; equivalent to124.60 ± 2.0 μg/mL. In the antibacterial activity, &lt;em&gt;L. chequen&lt;/em&gt; had an MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) for &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus &lt;/em&gt;ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 of 4.35 ± 0 μg/mL and 8.71 ± 0 μg/mL respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;L. chequen &lt;/em&gt;presented monoterpene compounds as main phytoconstituents as well as antioxidant and antibacterial activity in vitro. The essential oil might be used as antimicrobial agent in the future overall against S. aureus.&lt;/p&gt;

The traditional use of plants such as &lt;em&gt;Desmodium Molliculum &lt;/em&gt;(Kunth) DC, among the Peruvian population for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, has occurred since ancient times. The objective of this research was to determine the presence of secondary metabolites and evaluate the antiinflammatory activity of &lt;em&gt;Desmodium molliculum&lt;/em&gt; (EDM) leaves in rats with acute inflammation induced using carrageenan. The phytochemical profile was performed for the main secondary metabolites with biological activity. Subsequently, 25 rats were divided into 5 groups and treated as follows: Group I and II: Physiological Saline Solution (PSS) by oral administration. Group III: Sodium Diclofenac (25 mg/kg body weight) by intraperitoneal administration. Group IV and V: EDM at 250 mg/kg bw and 500 mg/kg bw by oral administration, respectively; 30 minutes after administration, acute inflammation was induced in Groups II, III, IV, and V using the subplantar edema technique with 1% w/v carrageenan. The volume displaced by the hind paw was evaluated in all 5 groups using a digital plethysmometer every 60 minutes for 5 hours. The results were obtained from the displaced volume (Mean ± SD), with the most representative values obtained at 240 minutes, where EDM at 250 mg/kg (0.57 ± 0.07 ml) bw and 500 mg/kg bw (0.578 ± 0.051 ml) showed significant anti-inflammatory activity (ANOVA p&amp;lt;0.05). We concluded that &lt;em&gt;Desmodium Molliculum&lt;/em&gt; has anti-inflammatory activity at doses of 250 mg/kg bw and 500 mg/kg bw.&lt;/p&gt;

Previous work focused on phytochemical constituents, antibacterial activities and isolated compounds. The whole plant was air dried and pulverized (600 g). It was extracted with ethanol and concentrated to dryness in &lt;em&gt;vacuo&lt;/em&gt; (20 g). Screening for phytochemical groups was performed using qualitative methods. The antibacterial activity was performed using agar diffusion and antifungal activity using ditch plate method. Compounds were characterized using Gas-chromatography Mass Spectrometry. The results of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of phenols, saponins, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides. The results further showed the crude extract of the plant to be moderate to strong antibacterial activity with zones of inhibition ranging from 12.0 + 1.6 mm and 25 +1.7 mm. the crude extracts of &lt;em&gt;Heliotropium indicum&lt;/em&gt; demonstrated antibacterial properties which confirmed the traditional use of this plant in treating skin rashes and boil. In addition, the presence of Palmitate and Linoleic acid I the plant as revealed in this study justified the use of this plant in treating hypertension.&lt;/p&gt;

This study documents therapeutic plants used against STI’s in Thaba ‘Nchu, South Africa. Information was gathered through semi-structured interviews with traditional medical practitioners between March and December 2017. Information on medicinal plants, their local names, and their uses against STI’s was gathered. The use value (UV) of the plant species, frequency of citation (FC) and the informant consensus factor (ICF) were calculated for the plants and STIs included in the study. Plants were used to treat infections such Herpes zoster (ICF=0.4) as gonorrhoea (ICF=0.11), vaginosis (ICF=0.2), symptoms of HIV/AIDS (ICF=0.1) and pubic lice (ICF=0.1). A total of 35 plant species were identified for the treatment of STIs. Most medicinal plants in the study area came from the families Asteraceae (21%), Fabaceae (17%), Solanaceae (13%) and Hyacinthaceae (13%). &lt;em&gt;Bulbinenarcissifolia, Pentanisiaprunelloides, Hypoxishemerocallidea, Scabiosa columbaria, Xysmalobiumundulatum Rumex lanceolatus, Eucomisautumnalis, Dicomaanomalaand Salvia&lt;/em&gt; runcinatawere frequently used. The preferred method for preparation of remedies were decoctions made from the roots (72%), whole plant (17%), leaves (7%), fruits (2%) and bark (2%) which were consumed orally.This study contributes to the documentation of plants used for STIs to conserve the information for future generations. A selection from the most frequently mentioned plants for treatment of STI’s may be used for further phytopharmacological investigations and subsequently be used for the development of new antimicrobial agents for global use and for the socioeconomic development of local communities.&lt;/p&gt;

The goal of this study was to look at how hypertension prevention and control programs were implemented in the city of Banjarmasin. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-explorative analysis method with multiple case study approaches. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and literature study to all research informants. Informant selection technique used purposeful sampling. Research variables included communication, resources, bureaucratic structure and dispositions/attitudes. The research findings indicated that communication between policymakers, implementers, and program targets was effective. Despite the fact that human resources have reached the criterion for personnel, certain officers continue to have an excessive burden, and the number of health cadres was insufficient. Although facilities and infrastructure were available, several Public Health Centers were still having difficulty channeling demands and budgets. The bureaucratic structure had been implemented through SOPs and the delegation of authority, however numerous agencies still lacked complete documentation and archives. Even though the overall objectives were not attained, all parties exhibited a strong commitment and determination to continue the program. It can be concluded that the implementation of hypertension prevention and control policies in Banjarmasin had been quite successful, though there were still some challenges, such as differences in program target participation methods, the need for systematic equalization of authority tasks, and more equitable budget management in terms of resources. Furthermore, in terms of bureaucratic structure, it is vital to develop organized documentation standards in each agency.&lt;/p&gt;

Based on the result of this study shows that the MW&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; with 0.6% of chlorella powder was the best treatment with sensory value (8.28, 7.08, 7.37); physical properties (homogenous, 5.3, 7.5 cm, 24-30 minutes), respectively. Meanwhile, chlorophyll a 0.67 mg/L, chlorophyll b 0.89 mg/L, total chlorophyll 1.63 mg/L, carotenoid 0.84 mg/L, the antioxidant activity of Chlorella sp. mask was 246.70 mg/L. Therefore, the present study suggested that the Chlorella sp. mask could be used in cosmeceutical products, and potentially as an antiaging.&lt;/p&gt;

A total of 227 samples were collected, including 146 swab samples and 81 of 1 L water samples. Bacteriological and molecular assays were performed compromised cultural, gram stain, a set of biochemical tests, and serological tests. The phenotypically validated isolates underwent a 16s rRNA gene by conventional PCR assays. The results showed 28 (12.33%) were positive with the presence of &lt;em&gt;legionella pneumophila&lt;/em&gt; isolates. including 5 (17.86%) positive isolates from water samples and 23 (82.14%) positive isolates from swabs. The current study showed that the majority of the water and swab samples were detected to be negative, but there is an appropriate exposure to this pathogen in the community. The diversity of the presence of these bacteria in several water systems, as well as the diversity in the use of multiple sources of water and exposure to them, leads to an increase in the potential risks of infection by &lt;em&gt;L. pneumophila.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Parathyroid carcinoma is the rarest cause of primary hyperparathyroidism, accounting for &amp;lt;1% of the cases. We reported a case of a 46-year-old male with closed fractures at the humerus and femur. Further findings revealed severe refractory hypercalcemia, renal impairment, anemia, and bone lytic lesion (CRAB). No palpable cervical mass was identified. Surprisingly, the serum protein electrophoresis was normal, and urinary Bence-Jones protein was negative along with normal bone marrow aspiration. Hence, multiple myeloma was unlikely. The intact parathyroid hormone level was very high, along with a suspicious nodule on the left thyroid lobe (TIRADS 4). Total thyroidectomy and total parathyroidectomy were performed. The post-surgical pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of parathyroid carcinoma. After the surgery, the patient was in stable condition with normal intact parathyroid hormone and serum calcium levels. In this case, primary hyperparathyroidism was caused by parathyroid carcinoma with “CRAB” symptoms, mimicking multiple myeloma. Primary hyperparathyroidism should be considered in the patient with refractory hypercalcemia.&lt;/p&gt;

They are sometimes referred to as second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs). Several atypical antipsychotics have received regulatory approval for the treatment of disorders such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, irritability in autism, and as adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorders. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: The purpose of the following study was to evaluate the effect of two widely known atypical antipsychotics, aripiprazole, and risperidone, on pathophysiological fluctuations in electrolytes. Several other studies were based on the following ideas, which brought a variety of different perspectives. As can be seen in the following evaluation, although atypical antipsychotics reduce the chance of extrapyramidal symptoms, it leads to impairment of renal function and destruction of renal histo-morphology. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Thirty rats (10 per group) were used for this study, control group received normal saline, aripiprazole group received 10mg/kg//day, and risperidone group received 20mg/kg//day. The duration of therapy was long up to 3 months. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;the results confirmed that both drugs reduced plasma sodium and chloride concentration with no effects on plasma potassium and calcium concentration. Moreover, the histomorphology at microscopic level shown no defects after 3 months of therapy.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: the outcome confirmed no deleterious defects associated with aripiprazole and risperidone when used for 3 months.&lt;/p&gt;

Acne is a skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation in the polisebasca that often occurs in adolescence. &lt;strong&gt;Aims and Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aims of this research are to develop and test a peel-off mask prepared from stem of Sempeng extracts, which has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes. Materials and Methods: Stem of Sempeng was extracted with soxhletation method by ethanol 96%. The extract was formulated into peel-off mask with different extract concentration (0, 1, 5, 10, 15) %. Then the inhibition test of the extract and peel-off mask was measured against bacteria Propionibacterium acnes. The data analysis technique used in this study was to measure the zone diameter on a petri dish using a caliper with a millimeter (mm) unit and presented in tables and photos, the results of the inhibition zone measurement were compared with the classification of the response of the extract barrier to the growth of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CSLI) standard bacteria.&lt;strong&gt; Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The result showed that the inhibition zone of the peel off mask preparation of sempeng stem extract in F1 and F2 formulations with extract concentrations of 1% and 5% are categorized as resistant, which means that the&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Propionibacterium acnes &lt;/em&gt;bacteria has a low level of sensitivity so that a large inhibition zone is not formed. Whereas in the F3 formulation with a concentration of 10% is categorized as an intermediate, which means in this concentration, the mask can inhibit the growth of the inhibition zone &lt;em&gt;Propionibacterium acnes&lt;/em&gt; bacteria which is formed quite well, but in this category it will require repeated use or with high doses of use. Then in the F4 formulation with a concentration of 15%, it is categorized as susceptible, which means the mask have a good inhibitory resistance zone, this shows that the increase in high concentration, the greater the inhibition zone as well. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The peel off mask from ethanol extract of Sempeng stem is able to inhibit the growth of&lt;em&gt; Propionibacterium acnes &lt;/em&gt;bacteria. The peel mask preparation with concentration 1%, 5%, 10% and 15% forms a clear zone around the disc which means that this peel off mask formulation has activity to inhibits&lt;em&gt; Propionibacterium&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;acnes &lt;/em&gt;bacteria and is included in the category of susceptible interpretation according to the CLSI standard.&lt;/p&gt;

For the Acute toxicity test, male and female rats were orally administered with aqueous extract at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg (n=5/sex) and 5000 mg/kg (n=3/sex). All experimental animals were critically observed individually for overt signs and symptoms of toxicity, behavioral changes, body weight changes, and mortality for 14 days.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The physicochemical characterization, macroscopic evaluation, morphometric determination, surface tissue examination, and powder analysis of the intact and powdered drug material revealed key diagnostic features and properties based on the stem, leaf, flower architecture, and pharmaceutical properties. The aqueous extract primarily contains alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, phytosterols, and tannins as its phytoconstituents. During the acute toxicity test, no toxicological response and mortality were observed on both doses.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study provides vital architectural features and chemical characteristics of G. parviflora essential for establishing pharmacopoeial standards, especially in plantbased medicine. Additionally, the aqueous extract's oral dose of up to 5000 mg/kg is relatively safe as no significant evidence of treatment-related toxicity and mortality is seen.&lt;/p&gt;

Thus it can be used as a source of medicinal raw materials. &lt;em&gt;Piper betle&lt;/em&gt; var. nigra simplicia and extracts must be controlled to obtain unswerving quality and ensure their pharmacological effects by standardizing them through several specific and non-specific parameters. Specific parameters were analyzed organoleptically in the ethanol extract, namely having a thick consistency, brownish-green or blackish-green color, a mild peculiar odor, a bitter, cherish taste, and a slightly spicy flavor. The microscopic simplicia powder profile is as follows: the lower epidermis with idioblasts in oil cells contour and upper epidermis, sclerenchyma, covering hairs, and transport bundles ladder-type thickening, and idioblasts in oil cells contour. Extract content analysis of simplicia and black betle leaves ethanol extract showed water-soluble extract content of 2.77% and 12.45% and ethanolsoluble extract content of 1.38% and 19.1%. Secondary metabolites in the ethanol extract are flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and steroids. The non-specific parameters of the simplicia and extract are as follows; total ash content of 12.1% and 7.43%; acid insoluble ash content of 4.45% and 1.57%; drying shrinkage of 14.5% and 15.85%; total lead (Pb) contamination 47.5 ppm and 1.2 ppm; and the total cadmium (Cd) contamination &amp;lt;0.2 ppm. The total bacterial contamination in the extract was 4.3x105 colonies/g.

The plant is used in traditional medicine as an enema for newborn babies. This study aimed to isolate and identify the bioactive constituents from &lt;em&gt;H. acutatum.&lt;/em&gt; In addition, the crude extracts and isolated compounds were tested for their antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. The phytochemical investigation afforded the known compounds stigmasterol, stigmasterol glucoside, and caffeic acid. The antioxidant activity of the ethyl acetate extract showed higher activity compared to other extracts, ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene. Antibacterial profiling of all the extracts showed no activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. The cytotoxic activity of the crude extracts was assayed&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; against two human cancer cell lines, liver hepatoblastoma (HepG2) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2). The human embryonic kidney cell line (Hek-293) was used as the non-transformed control. The plant extracts showed insufficient antiproliferative or cytotoxic activity to the tumour and regular cell lines tested, which signifies suitable for human consumption. Overall, this plant has better antioxidant activity than other plants in the genus, which needs further exploration.&lt;/p&gt;

Traditional, it is palatable plant and used in medicine of livestock to treat skin conditions . The main objective of current approach was to screen the presence of different kind of metabolites applying standard procedures followed by assessment of total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoids (TFC) contents. In addition, the&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;ABTS antioxidant and lipoxygenase activities were evaluated. Different organs (leaves, stems and flowers) of &lt;em&gt;Anisosciadium lanatum&lt;/em&gt; were extracted using 70% methanol to yield total methanol extracts of leaves (TML), stems (TMS) and flowers (TMF). Results demonstrated that TML, TMS and TMF are characterized by the content of different constituents such as flavonoids, phenolics/tannins, steroids, saponins, and carbohydrates at different levels. Ethyl acetate (EA) and butanol (BT) fractions of TML and TMS demonstrated the highest percentage of TPC and TFC. The results demonstrated the competence of EA and BT as free radical scavenger fractions compared to other fractions and its opportunity to contain bioactive antioxidant metabolites . TML, TMS and TMF exhibited Lipoxygenase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 4.88, 5.40 and 6.05 μg/mL, respectively when compared to that of the positive control baicalein (IC50: 0.27 μg /mL). In conclusion, present investigation highlighted the potential of &lt;em&gt;Anisosciadium lanatum&lt;/em&gt; to be promising candidate with activity against wide range of inflammatory-related diseases.&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;

Despite its massive development globally, there are few studies have written about the toxicity of this herbal medicine. &lt;strong&gt;Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of this study is to describe the acute toxicity of this herbal medicine, as the basic ground of the further safe development of this medicine. &lt;strong&gt;Method&lt;/strong&gt;: Each purple leaf dry powder (2 kg) was extracted with 15 L of 70% ethanol and 15 L of hexane by maceration method for 3 days at room temperature and then filtered to obtain macerate liquid. The study was conducted on 36 male 6-8 weeks, Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. The result was presented as the mean value ± standard deviation (SD). Data were evaluated for homogeneity using Saphiro Wilk. The comparisons between pre dan post treatment body weight were measured by paired student t test and hematological measurements were analyzed by ANOVA. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Acute toxicity of ethanol and hexane extract were assessed following a single dose administered by gavage at a dose of 50, 2000 and 3000 g/kg bw. The mean body weight of rats increased from 150 ± 2.22 g to 161 ± 6.68 g during the 14 days. The difference of body weight between before and at 14 days amongs groups were significantly different with P value &amp;lt;0.01. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study showed that hexane extract contains more valuable components for medical treatment purposes. The acute toxicity on 50, 2000,3000 kg/BW oral ethanol and hexane extract of &lt;em&gt;Graptophyllum pictum&lt;/em&gt; showed no significant influence on hematological blood parameters of rats. It is safe to administered orally ethanol or hexane extract of G. pictum below 3000mg/kgBW rats.&lt;/p&gt;

Breast cancer is the number two highest count type of cancer trailing behind lung cancer. Treating cancer is expensive and have various side effects. Active components found in plants or fungi that have antioxidant and cytotoxic activity towards cancer cells, could be an alternative for anticancer. One of the fungi that is potentially developed as an anticancer, are the genus of &lt;em&gt;Auricularia sp&lt;/em&gt;. also known as black-white fungus. This study aims to determine the phytochemicals components, antioxidant activity and cytotoxic effect of the &lt;em&gt;Auricularia sp&lt;/em&gt;. towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Dried black-white fungus of&lt;em&gt; Auricularia sp&lt;/em&gt;. grinded into a fine powder. Then, multilevel maceration is done with the n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol as solvents. The extracts of black-white fungus undergo phytochemical screening and thin layer chromatography (TLC), followed by measuring antioxidant and evaluating the cytotoxic activity towards MCF-7 breast cancer cells. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: black-white fungus of &lt;em&gt;Auricularia sp.&lt;/em&gt; contained secondary metabolites of flavonoids, alkaloids, and triterpenoids and a total of 17 other phytochemical components. Ethyl acetate extract of black-white fungus showed a weak antioxidant activity towards DPPH free radical with IC50 of 215.51 μg/mL and a very active cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 0.21 μg/mL. On the other hand, ethanol and n-hexane extracts of black-white fungus are categorized with an active cytotoxic activity on MCF-7 cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of 29.28 μg/mL and 50.39 μg/mL, respectively.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Black-white fungus &lt;em&gt;Auricularia sp&lt;/em&gt;. that had anticancer activity towards breast MCF-7 cells should be considered as an alternative treatment for breast cancer therapy.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the combined effects of these plants have not yet been assessed. This study evaluated the oral acute toxicity and&lt;em&gt; in vivo &lt;/em&gt;antihyperglycemic effects of the extract combining AP and SC (SCAP) in rats with high-fat diet- and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. Thirteen female DDY mice for toxicity test were divided into three groups and orally administered one dose SCAP (0, 300, or 2000 mg/kg). On day 15, animals were euthanized, their internal organs were observed, and blood samples were collected for clinical biochemistry analyses.&lt;em&gt; In vivo&lt;/em&gt; antihyperglycemic activity was examined in male Sprague- Dawley rats-induced diabetes. Diabetic rats were assigned to once-daily oral treatment with metformin, AP, SC or SCAP for 1 week. Concerning toxicity, SCAP had no effects on liver and kidney and histology of these organs displayed no abnormalities. Blood glucose levels had a tendency to reduce in treatment groups compared with the findings in the diabetic control group. SCAP treatment protected rats against pancreatic damage. These results illustrated that the combined SCAP treatment had beneficial effects on blood glucose levels and pancreatic β-cell function, in rats-induced diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

(Lam.) known as &quot;sweet potato&quot; is a plant species of great importance in the human diet due to the contribution of nutrients and also for its bioactive compounds that have various medicinal properties. Its anticancer activity is one of the properties that attract the attention of researchers in the study of plant species. This review aims to make a critical compilation of current information on research that evaluated the antitumor and antiproliferative activity of &lt;em&gt;Ipomoea batatas. &lt;/em&gt;The studies included in this review show a diversity of bioactive compounds present in&lt;em&gt; Ipomoea batatas&lt;/em&gt; such as phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, flavonoids, coumarins and sterols; also isolated compounds such as pectin, peptides and glycoproteins that can be related to their biological activity. It is concluded that there are positive results about &lt;em&gt;Ipomoea batatas&lt;/em&gt; and its anticancer activity evaluated through in vitro and &lt;em&gt;in vivo &lt;/em&gt;tests. In humans, safety and efficacy trials are still lacking to support its future use and allow drug development. Further research evaluating the safety and efficacy of reported bioactive compounds in &lt;em&gt;Ipomoea batatas &lt;/em&gt;is important for the development of this promising area.&lt;/p&gt;

The syndemic condition, malaria-COVID-19 co-infections, had been reported. Our previous study successfully revealed several compounds from&lt;em&gt; Streptomyces hygroscopicus s&lt;/em&gt;ubsp. Hygroscopicus, including nigericin that has both antimalarial and antiviral effects. In malaria infection, &lt;em&gt;Plasmodium falciparum &lt;/em&gt;Chloroquine Resistance Transporter (PfCRT) is the potential target for eliminating &lt;em&gt;Plasmodium.&lt;/em&gt; Meanwhile, for SARS-CoV-2 infection, MPro is an essential protein for SARS-CoV-2 survival. This research aims to examine the potential effect of nigericin towards&lt;em&gt; Plasmodium&lt;/em&gt; and SARS-CoV-2 by assessing its molecular interaction with PfCRT and MPro through molecular docking study.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The protein target PfCRT and MPro were obtained from Protein Data Bank. Nigericin and the control ligand (chloroquine and N3) were obtained from PubChem. The pharmacokinetic analysis was done using SwissADME. Specific molecular docking was conducted using PyRx 0.9 and was visualized using LigPlot and PyMOL. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Nigericin has a large molecular weight, leading to the non-fulfillment of the Lipinski rule for oral administration. Through molecular docking study, the binding affinity of the Nigericin-PfCRT complex was -8.1 kcal/mol, and Nigericin-MPro was -8.6 kcal/mol. These binding affinities were stronger than the control ligand. The interaction between Nigericin-PfCRT and Nigericin-MPro share a similar pocket-site and amino acid residues as the control ligands. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Nigericin has potential antimalarial and anti-coronavirus effects through molecular docking perspective by assessing the binding affinity and similarity of amino acid residues compared to control. Administration of systemic route can be an option in giving nigericin.&lt;/p&gt;

Protection is priceless to avoid complication of liver toxicity. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: This research aimed to assess the protective impact of silymarin (SIL) on hepatotoxicity based on acute paracetamol (APAP) intoxication in rats in comparison with N-acetylcysteine (NAC). &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;To do so serum was collected and the liver was analyzed for histological findings on rat model-paracetamol toxicity whether alone or in combination with SIL or NAC. The scenario was based on either preconditioning with SIL/NAC before induction of toxicity or afterwards. Serum liver function tests, pro-oxidant/antioxidant status, and proinflammatory markers were detected alongside liver histological study. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that liver function indices, oxidative state, and pro-inflammatory parameters were significantly changed, and histopathological alterations were detected in the liver of the intoxicated group. These modifications were inverted in groups treated with either SIL or NAC. The results of the current study suggested that SIL might be employed as a hepatoprotective drug against liver damage induced by APAP because of its ability to reduce lipid peroxidation, improve antioxidant defense status, and have anti-inflammatory effects.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results are equivalent to NAC therapy which is a standard drug against APAPrelated hepatotoxicity.&lt;/p&gt;

Virus transmission occurs through droplet and infects the host's respiratory tract rapidly. Viral propagation occurs through translation process of genome +ssRNA, then it being replicated forming some new body parts of virus and assemblied into virions that ready to infect. During the replication process, the translated viral genome in the form of polyprotein will be cut into smaller components by proteases, which one is 3CLpro. The presence of the 3CLpro receptor is used in drug development through &lt;em&gt;in-silico &lt;/em&gt;molecular docking process to minimize failures before laboratory test. The antivirus compounds that used to inhibit the 3CLpro receptor are from gletang plant (&lt;em&gt;Tridax procumbens&lt;/em&gt; Linn.). This study aim is to determine the value of binding affinity, the interaction between compounds and receptor, and the effect of drug components. The research was conducted by&lt;em&gt; in-silico&lt;/em&gt; through the molecular docking process of 3CLpro receptor and antivirus compounds of gletang (&lt;em&gt;Tridax procumbens&lt;/em&gt; Linn.), including betulinic acid, kaempferol and lignan. The results showed that the binding affinity of betulinic acid was -6.6 kcal/mol, kaempferol was -5.6 kcal/ mol and lignan was -5.4 kcal/mol. The interaction form of compounds and receptor was hydrogen bond, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and van der Waals. Compared to baicalein compound as a positive control with the value of binding affinity was -6.7 kcal/mol and its interaction with 3CLpro receptor, showed betulinic acid, kaempferol and lignan have smaller ability but they have the potential to inhibit the 3CLpro receptor.&lt;/p&gt;

Stem cells are classified into three broad categories based on their origin: extra-embryonic stem cells, which are derived from the amniotic fluid, umbilical cord and placenta; adult stem cells, which are derived from adult tissues such as blood, fat, bone marrow and skin; and embryonic stem cells, which are derived from the blastocyst. Stem cells exposed to certain suitable conditions will differentiate into 3 germ layers and also primordial germ cells. This is the basis for the latest research to obtain mature haploid gametes capable of developing into normal embryos and fetuses. Somatic Nuclear Cell Transfer (SNCT) technique is used to produce mature gametes so that the resulting cells contain cell nuclei with new genetic material. Infertility is a common problem that occurs with a prevalence of 10-15% of couples of reproductive age. Causes of infertility in women include metabolic and hormonal disorders accompanied by interactions with environmental factors that reduce oocyte quality. This results in an increased rate of aneuploidy in the resultant oocytes and impairs the human implantation process. The main objective of this research is to enhance the understanding of stem cells in women's infertility. The method used in writing this review article is online literature studies obtained by accessing national and international scientific journals as well as scientific articles related to stem cells (Stem cells), infertility, women. From the results of this study, it can be seen the potential of stem cells (stem cells) in treating infertility in women. Further studies are needed, especially pre-clinical and clinical trials so that they can be widely applied.&lt;/p&gt;

The effect might be positive and vice versa. Interaction might occur pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamically. The study aimed to review potential interaction of metformin and some herbs with various pharmacological activities. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This literature review was conducted by collecting articles with keywords Metformin, Herb-drug Interaction, drug interaction, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacology from international databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, Springer Link, and Scopus up to 2021.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Metformin with its various uses such as antidiabetic agent, an agent for reducing weight for patients that sensitive or even resistant to insulin, patients with obesity, anti-tumor agent, anti-cancer potential agent, and also has anti-aging potential. Metformin could interacted with drugs, herbs, and also some bioactive isolate. The interaction might occurs pharmacokinetically or pharmacodynamically. Pharmacokinetics interactions occurred during distribution and also excretion via transporters that metformin transported with. This was shown as the elevated or lowered metformin levels in blood. Pharmacodynamic interactions can be seen as the lowering or elevated levels of glucose, HbA&lt;sub&gt;1c &lt;/sub&gt;and even the lipid profile in blood or plasma.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: According to this literature review, Metformin have potential interaction with drugs, herbs, and also some bioactive isolate. The interactions occur pharmacokinetically or pharmacodynamically. This study can be used as a established familiarity with and understanding the potential HDIs from Metformin and herbal products.&lt;/p&gt;

In this case, Asp Amino acid and Ser are the types of residues that can activate adenylyl cyclase to initiate a series of activities in cells.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This study used Mitragynine ligand and adrenergic receptors (α1b, α2a, α2b, α2c dan β1). The receptor candidates were tested using Autodock whose test results were presented in the form of tables and 3-dimensional images using the Biovia Discovery Studio. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Hydrogen bonds were formed between Mitragynine and the amino acids Asp and Ser at the β1-adrenergic receptor. The binding amino acids were found in Ser20 and Asp21 with energy bond of -5.26 kcal/mol and IC50: 111.35 ppm. Meanwhile, at the adrenergic receptor α2b there was only Asp residue that formed hydrogen bond with Mitragynine namely Asp218A. The energy bond formed between the two was -5.19 kcal/mol and IC50: 125.04 ppm. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: Mitragynine has the potential to stimulate lipolysis through the pathways of α2b and β1-adrenergic receptors.&lt;/p&gt;

MMP-9 also includes SNPs that occur at inhibitor binding areas as well as zinc ions. As a result of polymorphisms, the usage of MMP-9 inhibitors for MDR-TB might vary. Through molecular simulation, it has been found that the mutant MMP-9 has a larger cavity and a more lipophilic surface. The docking tests revealed that EGTA had the least amount of binding energy to both wild-type and mutant MMP-9. The wildtype MMP-9 can bind zinc when EGTA is in the active site. This shows that using EGTA to chelate Zn is only partially successful. However, the binding energy of EGTA at the active site suggests that it may be a competitor to MMP-9 substrates. On the other hand, Zn is not involved in the interaction of the mutant MMP-9-EGTA complex.&lt;/p&gt;

In addition, it can also cause the death of normal flora. Coffee extract is reported to have the potential as a naturally active and non-toxic antibacterial compound suitable for biomedical applications. Extraction using methanol was carried out on green coffee and which had been roasted for three types of Jambi coffee, namely Arabica, Robusta and Liberica coffee and continued with fractionation using hexane and ethyl acetate. The results of the analysis using FTIR showed that OH, C-H, C = C, C = O, C-O, C-N and N-H groups were detected. These functional groups are probably the functional groups that belong to caffeine, trigonelline, nicotinic acid and dehydrocafestol, which are believed to have bacteriostatic effects on some bacteria. The SEM-EDX analysis results of the three types of coffee showed that the dominant elements were O, K and Mg. Potassium and magnesium minerals bind with chlorogenic acid to form salt complexes of chlorogenic acid and magnesium chlorogenic acid complex. The antibacterial activity of the coffee extract and fraction was still low with the diameter of the inhibition zone was still low (0-10 mm). Furthermore, further characterization and tests are needed to confirm the antibiotic potency of the Arabica, Robusta and Liberica coffee ethanol extracts.&lt;/p&gt;

However, this natural product contains a group of compounds that are responsible for various propolis activities including antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and others. This study aims to prepare different gel formulae that contain various concentrations of propolis extract using two different polymers and to evaluate their physical properties, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. &lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;Propolis was extracted depending on the hydroalcoholic method; six different gel formulae (P-1 to P-6) were prepared with different concentrations of propolis extract (0.5, 1, and 1.5%) using two different polymers; carbopol-934 and poloxamer-407, in concentrations of 0.5 and 25% respectively. The formulae were evaluated physically for their visual appearance, pH, viscosity, spreadability, and physiological compatibility with the skin. The anti-microbial activities were investigated by well diffusion method against various bacterial species including &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; (gram+), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-), Enterococcus fecalis (gram+) and against one fungal species which is Candida albicans. Also, the antioxidant activity was determined utilizing 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Finally, a stability test was carried out for the chosen formula.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The six formulae (P-1 to P-6) were successfully prepared and evaluated and they were acceptable in their physical appearance and consistency, pH reading was in the range of 5.33±0.08 to 5.72±0.02 (p&amp;gt;0.05), a study of the skin irritation revealed no undesirable side effect, while the viscosity was in the range of 128.99±0.07 to 248.54±1.04 Pa.s (p&amp;gt;0.05), also the carbopol-934 containing formulae revealed good spreadability (1.495±0.075 to 5.15±0.35 mg.cm/s, p&amp;gt;0.05), in comparison to poloxamer-407 containing ones. Both carbopol-934 and poloxamer-407 containing formulae exhibited antimicrobial activity but the P-3 formula had the largest inhibition zone against &lt;em&gt;C. Albicans &lt;/em&gt;(16.1mm), and only P-2, P-5 and P-6 were active against &lt;em&gt;pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (12mm in all), while P-2 had the largest inhibition zone against&lt;em&gt; enterococcus fecalis&lt;/em&gt; (13.2 mm), P-2 and P-5 showed the largest activity against &lt;em&gt;staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; (15.5 and 14.6 mm respectively). The carbopol-934-containing formulae exhibited higher antioxidant activity than those with poloxamer-407, and the best-calculated IC50 belonged to P-2 (1.19 mg/ml). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; All the prepared formulae showed antimicrobial and antioxidant activities with some controversial results. However, P-2 (1% propolis extract and 0.5% carbopol-934), was active against all types of the tested microorganism, and had the best-calculated IC50, in addition to that it was a stable formula.&lt;/p&gt;

There is no scientific study carried out on its toxicological effects so far. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To understand the ayurvedic preparation method for KT and assessment of the toxicological effects of the KT and VCO on SH-SY5Y cell lines and&lt;em&gt; Drosophila melanogaster&lt;/em&gt; embryos. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The SH-SY5Y cell lines treated with different concentrations of KT and VCO range from 6.25 μg/ml to 100 μg/ml and&lt;em&gt; Drosophila melanogaster &lt;/em&gt;embryos fed with food containing different concentrations of KT and VCO, ranging from 0.005 % to 10 %. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: KT and VCO did not show any significant cytotoxicity effect on SH-SY5Y cell lines up to a dose concentration of 25 μg. But, at 50 μg and 100 μg concentrations, KT has shown a cytotoxic effect and it was higher than the VCO. The toxicological analysis in &lt;em&gt;Drosophila&lt;/em&gt; has shown that the survival rate of the KT treated group at concentration ranges from 0.005 % to 10 % is significantly decreased from 78.8 % to 27.7 %, compared to the control group, whereas in VCO treated group, at 0.005 % to 10 %, the survival rate has decreased from 76.2 % to 66 %, which is marginally higher than the KT treated group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Our findings revealed that as the concentration of Rasayana in the medium increases, there is a noticeable adverse effect on the percentage viability in SH-SY5Y cell lines and in the number of offspring in &lt;em&gt;Drosophila. &lt;/em&gt;The effect of vehicle, VCO, at the same concentration has shown a protective effect on cell lines and flies. It can be concluded that the toxic effect has been observed only at higher concentrations of KT and at the lower concentration, the toxic effect has been minimal.&lt;/p&gt;

Its fruits and leaves are popularly used because of antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the phytochemicals and antioxidant activity as well as botanical features of stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Cordia obliqua&lt;/em&gt;. Chemical components were preliminary screened in various fractions based on the polarities including; n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous fractions of using standard procedures. Total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents were assessed by Folin-Ciocalteau and aluminium chloride methods respectively. The antioxidant activity was evaluated by ABTS antioxidant procedure, using ascorbic acid as standard. Results confirmed that stem bark of&lt;em&gt; Cordia obliqua&lt;/em&gt; chemically is characterized by the presences of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, tannins and carbohydrates at different levels in various fractions and the absence of cardiac glycosides and anthraquinones. Microscopically, the plant is characterized by presence of big Ca oxalate clusters, various types of xylem vessels and big amount of cork cells. TPC was ranged from 13.6±1.4 and 220.5±3.4 mg GAE/g dry plant extract and TFC was ranged from 0.029±0.12and 15.46±0.33 mg QE/g dry plant extract. Due to the high phenolic and flavonoid content in butanol and ethyl acetate fractions; results of antioxidant using ABTS assay showed high antioxidant activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;0 valued 11.84±1.2 μg/ ml for butanol fraction and 14.81±1.1 μg/ml for ethyl acetate fraction. Taken together, the research work demonstrated the potential natural antioxidant value of the waste product stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Cordia obliqua.&lt;/em&gt; The study endorses forthcoming work to isolate and identify the chemical constituents in stem bark of Cordia obliqua.&lt;/p&gt;

A lot of work has been done on the treatment and control of breast cancer, colon/colorectal cancer, skin cancer, etc. Only a few works on prostate cancer has been published in literature. The conventional method of treatment used is almost not affordable by many cancer patients due to high cost of drugs and therapy. Also, the cumulative side effects arising from the treatment is enormous to patients. Hence, there is need to exploit local herbs that contain active anticancer ingredients that are readily available and affordable with little or no side effects. The present review was carried out to evaluate published works on medicinal plant species used for treatment and control of prostate cancer in Africa for twenty years (2001-2021). A total number of 48 plant species with 40 families were retrieved from database using ScienceDirect, Google scholar, Web of Science, Springerlink, Scopus, PubMed, and BioMed. All the plant species were reported to possess cytotoxic activity against prostate cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The most cited plant species according to literature sources are &lt;em&gt;Hypoxis hemerocallidea&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;em&gt; Plumbago zeylanica&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Gongronema latifolium &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Mangifera indica.&lt;/em&gt; Plant families that were used more in treating prostate cancer were Apocynaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Cucurbitaceae, Bignoniaceae, Lamiaceae. We conclude that more research be carried out on the medicinal plants’ usage on the treatment of prostate cancer and further bio-prospecting drugs from the enlisted plants should explored by the pharmaceuticals in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;

Honey has benefits in various aspects, including food, health, and beauty. Royal jelly is a daily food menu as a food supplement to maintain and increase health and vitality. &lt;strong&gt;Purpose&lt;/strong&gt;: Analyzing the immunogenic and toxinogenic proteins of Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera &lt;/em&gt;carpatica as immunotherapy.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Conversion of nucleotides into amino acids. Royal jelly&lt;em&gt; Apis mellifera &lt;/em&gt;carpatica, analysis of the three-dimensional structure of Protein of Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera&lt;/em&gt; carpatica, Analysis of Ramachandran Plots of Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera&lt;/em&gt; carpatica, Analysis of epitope and allergen proteins, Analysis of antigens and toxins. &lt;strong&gt;Research result: &lt;/strong&gt;The research results found that six proteins of Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera &lt;/em&gt;carpatica were epitope, antigenic, and non-toxic. Allergens and three Royal jelly proteins,&lt;em&gt; Apis mellifera &lt;/em&gt;carpatica, are non-allergenic. In this study, the three-dimensional structure has not been found and opens opportunities for proteomic studies of the Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera&lt;/em&gt; carpatica protein, including protein isolation. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The findings of this study can be used as a basis for the use of immunotherapy materials against the protein Royal jelly &lt;em&gt;Apis mellifera&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;carpatica against reproductive disorders.&lt;/p&gt;

Cytotoxicity was determined in Vero cells and followed by determination of antiviral activity by plaque reduction assay against a clinical strain of HHV-1. Effect of PMFPAE on virus replication was determined in pre-treatment, time-addition and time-removal assays. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; PMFPAE and its fractions were non-cytotoxic to Vero cells with 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) values ranged between 96 ± 1.3 to 1450 ± 2 μg/mL. PMFPAE have good anti-HHV-1 activity with Selective Index (SI) of 80.6 but reduces in fractions P&lt;sub&gt;1 &lt;/sub&gt;to P&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt; ranging between 4.2 and 67.9. Fractions with high SI were P&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; and P2 contained high molecular weight (MW) proteins and P&lt;sub&gt;6 &lt;/sub&gt;has the lowest MW suggestively peptides. Treatment with PMFPAE to host cells prior to virus infection had little effect on inhibiting HHV-1 replication. Treatment with PMFPAE affects virus early and late replication phase with plaque inhibition percentage increased during 10&lt;sup&gt;th &lt;/sup&gt;to 16&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; hour post-infection. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; PMFPAE contained non-cytotoxic proteins that affects HHV-1 early and late replication phases. Proteins with high antiviral activity resides in fractions with high MW and very low MW peptides.&lt;/p&gt;

A total of 40 samples including tomato, cucumber, zucchini and red pepper were analysed for various types of pesticides using Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method. The results show that 65% of samples of supermarket and farms contained 14 types of pesticides but pesticides residue level was below the maximum residue levels (MRL) whereas 30% samples were free from pesticides. A total 05% of the vegetables samples were found to exceed the maximum residue levels (MRLs). Moreover, the results indicate that the tomato samples with residue &amp;lt; MRL were 100%. A total of 20% of the zucchini samples were with residue &amp;lt; MRL and 80% of the red pepper samples were with residue &amp;lt; MRL. Cucumber sample from farms showed insecticides were found to exceed the MRL and none of the fungicides detected exceeded the MRL. However, the concentration of acetamiprid was 0.078 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; in cucumber was exceeded the maximum residue levels (MRLs) which was 0.03 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; and residues of carbofuran that exceeded the MRLs was 0.026 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;. Acetamiprid was the most commonly detected pesticides and followed by imidacloprid. The results designated that most of the vegetable samples were contaminated with different types of pesticide residues. The high levels of pesticide residues could be a public health problem including pathogenesis because most of the tested vegetables are commonly used as without cooking.&lt;/p&gt;

Benth. (Leguminosae) is the tropical plant which has been used as natural poison as well as veterinary medicine due to its best-known phytochemical compound, rotenone to kill invertebrates and fish. However, there is no report on pharmacognostic specification and quantification of rotenone content from &lt;em&gt;D. elliptica&lt;/em&gt; stems. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This present study aimed to conduct the pharmacognostic parameters as well as to conduct the validated methods to quantify rotenone content in&lt;em&gt; D. elliptica&lt;/em&gt; stems following WHO guideline.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Dried &lt;em&gt;D. elliptica&lt;/em&gt; stems from 15 different areas in Thailand were examined for pharmacognostic secification. Their rotenone contents were quantitatively analyzed by TLC densitometry using winCATS software as well as TLC-image analysis using ImageJ free software. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, TLC fingerprint and physicochemical parameters were reported in this study. The water content, loss on drying, total ash content and acidinsoluble ash content were determined to be 8.81±1.30, 5.77 ±0.92, 7.35±0.63, 1.221±0.20%, respectively. The ethanol, and water-soluble extractive values were found to be 4.07±1.23 and 11.31±1.68%, respectively. Additionally, the validation method for quantification of rotenone content was developed. The contents of rotenone in &lt;em&gt;D. elliptica &lt;/em&gt;stem ethanolic extract evaluated by TLC-densitometry and TLC-image analysis were found to be 0.2870±0.1242 and 0.2844±0.1209% by dried weight, respectively. The result between these two analytical methods were shown no significant difference.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The validated methods were able to effectively quantify rotenone content in &lt;em&gt;D. elliptica&lt;/em&gt; stems from various locations in Thailand which could be used for the specification of this raw material with reference to its chemical marker. Thus, this study provides the necessary and adequate information for authentication and standardization of &lt;em&gt;D. elliptica &lt;/em&gt;stems.&lt;/p&gt;

(Family: Annonaceae) is a well-known traditional and natural medicine over the world; in Malaysia it serves as a treatment for many kinds of diseases. Studies have been reported that &lt;em&gt;A. muricata &lt;/em&gt;can be used to treat diseases due to its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, anthelmintic, analgesic, hypotensive, antiinflammatory, and has immune enhancing properties. Despite having several medicinal functions and properties, however there is no standardization parameters have been reported in the literature for the leaves of&lt;em&gt; A. muricata&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Therefore, through this research study, the macroscopical and microscopical characteristics, physicochemical parameters such as ash values, extractive values, fluorescence analysis and preliminary phytochemical analysis of the leaves were investigated.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Based on the observation of the transverse section of the leaves, the presence of upper cuticle, upper epidermis, palisade cells, vascular bundle, spongy mesophyll, phloem fibers, lignified vessels, xylem vessels, collenchyma, lower epidermis, lower cuticle and parenchyma served as important key differentiating features for the studied plant. The powder microscopy revealed the presence of pieces of trichrome, collapsed uniseriate multicellular covering trichrome, spongy mesophyll, phloem fibres, xylem vessels, paracytic stomata and fragment of epidermis showing cell and palisade cell. Calcium oxalate crystals were also observed even though the captured image was slightly unclear. The phytochemical screening of the leaves was carried out using four different extracts which showed the presence of steroids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins carbohydrates and proteins, respectively.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on this research finding, the pharmacognostic standardization of the plant can be established thus, providing ease in identifying and determining the purity and quality of the investigated plant.&lt;/p&gt;

Pouteria is one of the genus that have diverse pharmacological activities. This review includes an overview of the species from Pouteria, phytochemical methods used in isolation of compounds from Pouteria, and their pharmacological activities. The trends in the pharmacological activity of Pouteria is antioxidant activity, antidiabetic and antimicrobial activities. However, information on its use as a traditional medicine from Pouteria was poor. Chemical compounds that have been widely isolated from Pouteria genus included phenolic acid, other phenolics non flavonoid, flavonoids, and terpenoids derivative. The most widely reported chemical compounds from Pouteria are terpenoid derivatives. Further research is needed for the mechanism of action based on the pharmacological activites of chemical compounds.&lt;/p&gt;

Apart from this, the genus also occupies an important constituent of alternative systems of medicine as well as ethnobotany. Among the various species of&lt;em&gt; Tragia&lt;/em&gt;, the most studied and experimented species is T. involucrata. This genus is used for several ethnobotanical uses such as cancer, diarrhea, constipation, scorpion bite, rheumatism, whooping cough and diabetes. Apart from this the genus is also an important constituent of ayurvedic and siddha medicines. Owing to these properties several researches has been conducted to validate the traditional uses, finding out new uses and understanding the phytochemical profile. Alkaloids, phenols, terpenoids and tannin are present in the genus &lt;em&gt;Tragia.&lt;/em&gt; Calcium oxalate and shellsol is responsible for the stinging property. Various species of&lt;em&gt; Tragia&lt;/em&gt; has been validated for its important properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities. All these properties has been related to the occurrence of secondary metabolites. However the exact lead metabolite for the pharmacological properties has to be identified. Based the experimentally proved pharmacological properties, &lt;em&gt;Tragia&lt;/em&gt; possesses significant potential on a medicinal species.&lt;/p&gt;

Here small plants as well as trees and shrubs are met. &lt;em&gt;Cotinus coggygria &lt;/em&gt;of Armenian flora is used in folk medicine. The aim of this investigation was to determine the chemical composition of Armenian flora’s smoke trees leaves’ essential oil and antiradical activity of ethanol extract of leaves and branches of smoke tree. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The aerial parts were extracted by hydrodistillation method, and the composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph interfaced to a mass spectrometer. Antiradical activity of essential oil from leaves and branches was determined by using appropriate methods. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The total amount of flavonoids has been determined in the leaves of the smoke tree by miricetin. This analysis revealed that the flavonoid amount in ethanol extract of&lt;em&gt; C. coggygria&lt;/em&gt;, growing in Armenia, was 0,94%. In volatile oil of Smoke tree leaves 22 compounds were determined. The results demonstrated that in the essential oil of leaves of Cotinus from Armenian flora predominated Germacrene D, Linalool, formate, ά –Terpineol sesquiterpenes and diterpene alcohol Thunbergol. Ethanol extracts of leaves and branches of Smoke tree showed antioxidant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;From the results, it is evident that &lt;em&gt;C. coggygria&lt;/em&gt; from Armenia flora contains various bioactive compounds and the extracts of leaves pronounced higher antioxidant activity and recommended as a plant of phytopharmaceutical importance.&lt;/p&gt;

The n-hexane extract inhibited DPPH-radicals inhibitions at 27% efficiency at 10 mg/ml concentration which was lower than the volatile oil DPPH-reactivity. The antimicrobial activity of n-hexane extract was relatively weaker than the volatile oil, except against &lt;em&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/em&gt; that showed IZD values of 19 mm with MIC value at 5.2 mg/ml for the volatile oil while IZD value of 26 mm and MIC at 4.7 mg/ml was observed for the n-hexane extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Despite high extractive value, the n-hexane as a solvent is not recommended for extraction as the oxygenated-terpenic components, considered responsible for antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were not fully extracted. The n-hexane extract which showed potent inhibition of &lt;strong&gt;C. albicans&lt;/strong&gt; can be a source for further investigation for bioactivities of its constituents.&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;

Antibacterial activity was evaluated against five bacterial strains by determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibition. Diameters of the zone of inhibition were compared with standard antibiotics. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical analyses qualitatively reveal the presence of alkaloids, saponin, terpenoids and steroid. The extract was found to exert antibacterial activity against four tested bacteria which are S. aureus, S. pyogenes, MRSA and K. pneumoniae except for E. coli. The zones of inhibition shown by the disc diffusion method for S. aureus were between 8.6 to14.0 mm, S. pyogenes were between 8.4 to 12.0 mm, MRSA was between 10.0 to 13.2 mm and K. pneumoniae were between 8.0 to 10.6 mm. Meanwhile, there was no zone of inhibition was observed for E. coli. The MIC was determined ranging from 6.25 to 12.5 mg/ml against all the tested bacteria. The highest value of MIC showed by S. aureus, S. pyogenes, MRSA and K. pneumoniae which is 6.25 mg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The tested leaves extract showed promising antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponin, terpenoids and steroid in methanolic leaves extract qualitatively and these compounds could be responsible for antibacterial properties of leaves extract of &lt;em&gt;S. polyanthum&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

For therapeutic use, herbs are commonly used in Indonesia for T2DM treatment, one of them is (&lt;em&gt;Cosmos caudatus&lt;/em&gt;) &lt;em&gt;kenikir’s &lt;/em&gt;leaves. In previous studies, &lt;em&gt;kenikir's l&lt;/em&gt;eaves have high antidiabetic and antioxidant activity. However, a comparison of antidiabetic activity from many extracts of &lt;em&gt;kenikir's&lt;/em&gt; leave is remain unclear. This study will compare the antidiabetic and antioxidant properties of various&lt;em&gt; kenikir’s &lt;/em&gt;leave extract. &lt;em&gt;Kenikir’s&lt;/em&gt; leaves are extracted by maceration methods for three days using three different solvents: boiling water, 50% ethanol, dan ethanol 100%. Then, phenolic and flavonoid content will be measured, as well as antioxidant properties by DPPH radical scavenging activity assay, and antidiabetic properties by α-glucosidase inhibition assay, also LCMS/MS will be used to predict the compound from each extract. The result shows that 50% ethanol extract has highest phenolic and flavonoid content than others. It also has significantly higher antioxidant (p&amp;lt;0.05) and antidiabetic (p&amp;lt;0.05) properties than others. Meanwhile, LCMS/MS result of 50% ethanol extract predicts 6 chemical component, that quercetin is the most dominant compound. 50% ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;kenikir’s&lt;/em&gt; leaves is superior from other extracts on phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant properties, and antidiabetic properties.&lt;/p&gt;

Hitherto, only 2 compounds- caespititin and 2-methyl-4-[2’,4’,6’-trihydroxy-3’-(2-methylpropanoyl)-phenyl] but-2-enyl acetate have been reported from this species. Phytochemical profiling of the plant and identification of chemical markers are limited. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;Determining phytochemical profile of &lt;em&gt;H. caespititium&lt;/em&gt; and identifying the major marker compounds in its extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCxGC-TOF-MS) was used to analyze &lt;em&gt;H. caespititium &lt;/em&gt;extracts (acetone, methanol, and dichloromethane). The marker compounds from the generated phytochemical fingerprints were identified using Column plots and chemometrics orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Polar acetone, methanol, and non-polar dichloromethane extracts were analyzed separately. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussions:&lt;/strong&gt; A total of 135 (12 from acetone, 13 from methanol, and 110 from dichloromethane extracts) compounds were identified in &lt;em&gt;H. caespititium&lt;/em&gt;. An OPLSDA score plot with R&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 0.81 grouped the polar compounds into 2 clusters as phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, while a contribution plot from the score plot then nominated benzene[(methoxymethoxy)]methyl, 4-methyl-2,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)penet- 1-ene, isoeugenol, and 3 4-dihydroxymandelic acid as marker compounds in the polar extracts. In a second plot with R&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 0.67, the corresponding contribution plot accentuated 2-methyl-5- (fur-3-yl) pent-3-en-2-ol, 3,5-dimethyl-4-heptanone, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, dihexyl-1-(4- methylphenyl)-5(2-dimethyl aminothenyl)-1H-tetrazole, and 3,5-dimethyl-4-heptanone as the marker compounds in the dichloromethane extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study recommends the use of the marker compounds as quality standard of raw materials and commercial products containing extracts or other forms of the South African &lt;em&gt;H. caespititium&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

In order to identify bioactive components of medicinal value, in the present study, we aimed to screen different extracts of&lt;em&gt; Hemidesmus indicus&lt;/em&gt; (L.) R. Br. ex Schult for health beneficial effect by exploring its biological properties and phytochemical profile. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; By using sequential extraction method, &lt;em&gt;H. indicus &lt;/em&gt;roots were extracted with various solvents based on low to high polarity. Subsequently, quantitative phytochemical profiling, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities were tested by using standard protocols. The MTT assay was carried out in SHSY-5Y cell lines to evaluate anti-inflammatory effect. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Methanol extract displayed highest phytochemical content with high concentration of terpenoid (59.82±0.97 mg LE/g of extract) and saponin (15.03±0.45 mg DE/g of extract). All the extracts exhibited concentration dependent pharmacological activities. In comparison, methanol extract produced highest activities with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of 15.21±0.31 and 11.36±0.39 μg/ml against NO and DPPH radical scavenging assays respectively. Also, methanol extract showed maximum inhibition against acetylcholinesterase (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=17.46±0.49 μg/ml) and butyrylcholinesterase (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=31.05±0.39 μg/ml), however, aqueous extract displayed highest potency against monoamine oxidase-B inhibition (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=24.60±0.45 μg/ml). At 12.5-100 μg/mL concentrations, methanol and aqueous extracts did not show any cytotoxic effect on SH-SY5Y cells and dose dependently suppressed TNF-α and IL-6 production.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Collectively,&lt;em&gt; H. indicus&lt;/em&gt; could act as a disease modifying therapeutic in pharmaceutical industries by utilizing it as alternative therapy for the management of oxidative stress and its related disorders.&lt;/p&gt;

The phytochemical profile and the anti-inflammatory effect from four extracts obtained by maceration proccess and of the primary fractions from two extracts are described. In addition, the antioxidant, leishmanicidal and antimycobaterial activities and LD&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;from active extracts are reported. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in TPA and carrageenan assays. Ethyl palmitate and γ-sitosterol were detected in Hexanic and CH&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Cl&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; extracts. Same compounds and stigmasta-3,5-dien-7-one, palmitic acid, phytol acetate and phytol were detected in primary fractions from CH&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Cl&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;:EtOH extract. In this and in MeOH extracts a polyphenolmixture was obtained. The MeOH extract was subjected to acid hydrolysis, and kaempferol, quercetin and scopoletin were detected in organic-phase. Polyphenol-mixture and organic-phase (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=3730 and 2338 μg/mL) showed moderate antioxidant activity; meanwhile MeOH extract exhibited scarce activity. In carrageenan model, Hexanic extract and polyphenol-mixture showed ED&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=131.46 and 64.89 mg/ kg, respectively. Three extracts were active but not-dose-dependent. In TPA-model, CH&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;Cl&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; extract and polyphenol-mixture showed ED&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; &amp;lt;0.79 mg/ear, and three extracts were active, however the effect was not-dose-dependent.

The oil from the seed plant is a greatest interesting a natural source. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; The aims of this study were investigated phytochemical screening, to evaluated the total flavonoids and phenolic compound contents as well as antioxidant activities of seedling extract from &lt;em&gt;P. volubilis. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The dried &lt;em&gt;P. volubilis&lt;/em&gt; seedlings of 21 days growing period were extracted by using different solvent including aqueous (ASS), 50% ethanolic (HESS), and 95% ethanolic (ESS) extracts. The phytochemical screenings were determined on total phenolic compound (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents. The antioxidation were tested by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy radical scavenging (DPPH), 2,2 -azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;) assay, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results found that the ESS were significantly highest amount on total phenolic compound (23.0809±0.8632 mgGE/gExt ) and flavonoid (466.3839±1.5580 mgQE/gExt) contents. In this study, ascorbic acid (IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;=0.016±0.0003 mg/mL) and Trolox (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; =0.044±0.0008 mg/mL) as standard substances were showed more potent than all of the extracts from &lt;em&gt;P. volubilis &lt;/em&gt;seedlings. Surprisingly, the ESS has more potent on free radical scavenging higher than different solvents; DPPH=0.007± 0.001 (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=mg/mL), ABTS= 1.4065± 0.0505 (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;=mg/mL),and FRAP= 74.4960± 2.6067 (mg=TE/gExt). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; the plant seedling extracts composed with high amount of flavonoids and phenolic compound contents possess valuable to antioxidant activities. The seedling extracts from the plant could apply to supplementary food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and horticultural industries. Next study, chemical compositions, the major active compound(s), and biological activities will be clarified.&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. Research on phytochemicals is zealously focused on health promotion, disease prevention, and also on the development of novel therapeutic interventions.&lt;/p&gt;

The phytochemical test was assessed using the Clule method in ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane. &lt;em&gt;In vitro &lt;/em&gt;evaluation of antioxidant activity was determined by radical scavenging assay using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) as an artificial free radical activity.&lt;em&gt; In vivo &lt;/em&gt;test was conducted to evaluate the effect of malondialdehyde (MDA) level in blood plasma during maximum physical activity treatment.&lt;em&gt; In vivo&lt;/em&gt; test was done using 25 male Sprague Dawley rats in pre and post-test control group design. The phytochemical test of &lt;em&gt;O. vulgare&lt;/em&gt; ethanol extract was showed some compounds, such as a flavonoid, alkaloid, triterpenoid/steroid, essential oil, and tannin, then in ethyl acetate and hexane. &lt;em&gt;In vitro &lt;/em&gt;assay showed that &lt;em&gt;O. vulgare&lt;/em&gt; extract has strong antioxidant activity with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 133.47 μg/mL. While in the &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; test, the most effective dosage is 20 mg/200 gr B.W., represented by a significant decrease of MDA level (0.509 nmol/mL) before and after treatment. So, the ethanolic extract of clove has potency as an herbal antioxidant because of the low level of IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; and can decrease the MDA level.&lt;/p&gt;

(Thymelaeaceae) has been used in the Mediterranean basin to treat skin diseases, rheumatism and toothache.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;the aim of this study was to evaluate the biological activities of butanol extract from the &lt;em&gt;D. gnidium&lt;/em&gt; leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A quantitative analysis by high‐performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC‐DAD) was performed. The antioxidant activities were evaluated by using three different assays: 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH assay), deoxyribose degradation assay and Cellular Antioxidant Activity (CAA) assay. The butanol extract was investigated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities in animal models. In addition, its effect on the production of NO and lysosomal activity &lt;em&gt;in vivo &lt;/em&gt;was assessed. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The HPLC-DAD analysis showed the presence of daphnetin. The butanol extract had a remarkable antioxidant activity in the different systems tested. Furthermore, it has an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the xyleneinduced ear edema and reduced the number of abdominal constrictions in mice indicating analgesic effect. It also was found to inhibit (NO) production and lysosomal activity &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These findings support the daphne use in traditional medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Further investigations to elucidate its mechanism of action are required.&lt;/p&gt;

The neurophysiological bases of pain have been analyzed and the potential mechanisms of action have been proposed, it has also been determined that the main experimental models used for the evaluation of the analgesic potential are: acetic acid-induced writhing test, formalin test, hot-plate test, capsaicin-induced nociception, cinnamaldehyde-induced nociception, glutamate-induced nociception, tail–flick test and tail immersion test. There are countless medicinal plants with potential analgesic activity, in some of them main responsible compounds for the activity are flavonoids (vitexin, quercetin, naringenin, astragalin, eupatilin), alkaloids (scotanamine B, bullatine A, S-(+)- dicentrine, stephalagine, lappaconitine), terpenoids (p-cymene, thymol, menthol, citronellol, myrcene, carvacrol, linalool) and saponins (siolmatroside I, cayaponoside D, cayaponoside B4, cayaponoside A1); however, all studies have only been carried out up to pre-clinical stages. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out kinetic studies of the most remarkable natural compounds, evaluate mixtures of active compounds for diminishing doses to avoide possible side effects, and continue with clinical studies of medicinal plants whose safety has already been reported.&lt;/p&gt;

To find useful therapies for UC, one of which is herbal therapy, many researches have been conducted. Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, &lt;em&gt;Phaleria macrocarpa &lt;/em&gt;(PM), an Indonesian indigenous herb, is considered to be the alternative therapy for UC.&lt;em&gt; Phaleria macrocarpa &lt;/em&gt;Leaves Ethanol Extract (PMLEE) is then used in this research to determine its effect on UC by using Ki-67 as a marker of proliferation. PMLEE was created from dry PM content undergoing maceration. The animals were classified into six categories: normal, positive control, negative control and PMLEE group (100, 200, 300 mg/kgBW). PMLEE was then injected for 7 consecutive days into BALB/c mice that were caused by dextran sodium sulphate (DSS). DSS is used for modeling UC in the colon tissue of mice. All mice were terminated and then stained with anti-Ki-67 after their colons were extracted. Subsequently, the stained parts were analyzed with ImageJ based on the color intensity produced by the results of H-score. Based on H-score, PMLEE 300mg and 200mg has significantly decreased the expression of Ki-67 compare to the negative control (p=0.001 and p=0.01). PMLEE also has a tendency to be dose dependent based on the significant difference from PMLEE 300mg and 100mg (p=0.002). It then concludes that PMLEE is related to Ki-67 expression in cells, as it was inversely proportional in this analysis.&lt;/p&gt;

The mechanism of ethionamide-induced hypothyroidism is potentially caused by the structure of ethionamide compounds chemically similar to thioamide, such as propylthiouracil (C7H8N2S), which inhibits thyroid hormone synthesis. However, hypothyroidism is caused not only by a lack of production but also by signaling alteration. Thyroid hormone action is mediated by thyroid hormone receptors (TRs), members of the nuclear receptor superfamily that regulate their target genes. Unfortunately, there are limited studies on the potential interaction of ethionamide with TRs. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;In the present study, we want to elaborate on the potential interaction of ethionamide with TRs which might alter the thyroid hormone genomic regulation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Molecular docking studies were used to evaluate the potential interaction between ethionamide with TRα and TRβ. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The molecular docking results on TRα showed more than one hydrogen bond–steric interaction formed from the ethionamide–amino acid residue interaction. Ethionamide–TRβ interaction showed more than one steric interaction, but the hydrogen bonds are not visualized. The docking score between ethionamide and TRα is −7.373 kcal/ mol and higher than its interaction with TRβ. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings indicate that ethionamide can interact with TRα and TRβ. However, the ethionamide–TRα interaction is stronger than ethionamide–TRβ interaction. Our study reports a novel mechanism of action of ethionamide-induced hypothyroidism.&lt;/p&gt;

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and irreversible neurological disorder that occurs gradually, a sickness that is increasingly common, and multiple scientific articles suggest that essential oils improve memory and learning and are useful in the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. This review aims to conduct a critical collection of current information on research into both memory and learning impairment, as well as essential oils that are able to avoid this neurodegenerative disease. Currently, different animal models have been useful for the study of neurodegenerative problems that alter memory and learning, experimental pharmacological, genetic and toxicological models that can simulate specific cognitive deficit syndromes. In addition, research in this review show several essential oil compounds that present positive results in animal studies, but still lack human clinical trials. Therefore, the assessment of the safety and efficacy of these phytochemical compounds in diseases that cause memory impairment and learning, remain a promising area for future research.&lt;/p&gt;

Free radicals play an important role in the initiation and development of various diseases, one of which is uric acid. Hhis study aims to obtain ethanolic extract from the ripe fruit of &lt;em&gt;Musa balbisiana&lt;/em&gt; Colla using the UAE method and obtain information about secondary metabolites and their bioactivity as antioxidants and anti-gout. The results showed that antioxidant activity test using the DPPH and FRAP methods gave IC&lt;sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;50&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/sub&gt; values of 150.24 ± 0.0348 mg/L and 227.80 ± 0.0986 mg / L, respectively. The total phenolic content value of 625.64 ± 0.36 mg GAE/g ethanolic extract is thought to have a role in high antioxidant activity. In addition, ethanol extract with a concentration of 50 mg / L has activity in reducing uric acid levels by around 9%. It can be concluded that the ethanolic extract produced by UAE has potential as a source of anti-oxidants and anti-gout.&lt;/p&gt;

A lot of research has been done to find effective treatments for UC, one of which is herbal medicine. &lt;em&gt;Phaleria macrocarpa&lt;/em&gt; (PM), an Indonesian native plant, is thought to be an alternative therapy for UC because of its anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, in this research, &lt;em&gt;Phaleria macrocarpa&lt;/em&gt; Leaves Ethanol Extract (&lt;em&gt;PM&lt;/em&gt;LEE) is used to assess its effect on UC by using Caspase-3 as apoptosis marker. PMLEE was made from dried material of PM that undergo maceration. Animals were separated into six groups: normal, negative control, positive control, and PMLEE groups (100, 200, 300 mg/kgBW). PMLEE was then injected to BALB/c mice that have been induced by dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) for 7 consecutive days. DSS is used to model UC in mice colon tissue. All animals were sacrificed and their colons were collected then stained with anti-Caspase-3. The stained sections were subsequently examined with ImageJ based on color intensity which generated H-Score as the results. Based on H-Score of each group, PMLEE 300mg has significantly upregulate the expression of Caspase-3 compare to the negative control (p=0.015). PMLEE also has a tendency to be dose dependent based on the significant difference between PMLEE doses. Therefore, it concludes that PMLEE is able to upregulate the expression of Caspase-3 in colon cells as in this study it was directly proportional. &lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Mahkota Dewa, Inflammation, Apoptosis, Ulcerative colitis.&lt;/p&gt;

For acute intranasal toxicity study, a single dose of 100 μg/rat/day was administered in five male and female rats and observed for the incidence of mortality and signs of toxicity for 14 days. For a 28-days subacute intranasal toxicity study, doses of 20, 50, and 100 μg/rat/day were administered to a group of five male and female rats.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The IND02-NS did not show mortality or treatment-related adverse signs during acute (limit dose of 100 μg/rat/day) and subacute intranasal (28-days repeated dose of 20, 50, and 100 μg/rat/day with 14 days of reversal period) administration. The IND02-NS showed a maximum tolerated dose greater than 100 μg/rat during the acute intranasal toxicity study. The no-observed adverse effect level of IND02-NS was 100 μg/rat/day in rats during the subacute intranasal toxicity study. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; IND02-NS was found safe at 100 μg/rat/day during acute and subacute (28 days repeated dose) for nasal administration in rats.&lt;/p&gt;

However, Indonesian propolis seems to be less explored. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study aimed to analyze the antihypertensive activity of Indonesian propolis in rats.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Hypertension was induced by high-NaCl (8%) diet for 3 weeks. A total of 36 rats were divided into 6 groups, including standard diet group (SD), high-NaCl diet group (NaD), high-NaCl diet group + captopril (25 mg/ kg) (PD), high-NaCl diet + propolis from Riau Archipelago (NaDP1), high-NaCl diet + propolis from Lampung (NaDP2) and high-NaCl diet + propolis from South Sulawesi (NaDP3). Propolis was daily administered at dose of 200 mg/ kg on hypertensive rats for 1 week. Blood pressure and body weight were weekly measured. Moreover, routine urine analysis, haematological parameters and lipid profiles at week 4 were determined.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results showed that high-NaCl diet successfully induced hypertension in rats after 3 weeks of intervention. However, the diet did not cause weight gain (p&amp;gt;0.05). All Indonesian propolis samples significantly reversed either systolic or diastolic blood pressure of hypertensive rats. From urine analysis, propolis from Riau Archipelago and Lampung showed diuretic effect. The haematological analysis mainly showed no significant difference compared standard diet group. Furthermore, LDL and HDL concentrations were significantly improved by propolis from Lampung and South Sulawesi, respectively (p&amp;lt;0.05). In addition, we only found significant decrease in relative weight of liver in all groups administered with high-NaCl diet (p&amp;lt;0.05). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study suggests that all Indonesian propolis possessed antihypertensive activity.&lt;/p&gt;

The thought is found in the conventional system of medicine where the variety of herbs in a specific proportion of illness. Because of synergism, polyherbalism presents a few advantages which aren’t accessible in single herbal medication. It is utilized in these medications for the treatment of numerous sicknesses including antioxidants. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To develop a phytochemical screening and GC-MS analysis of Novel Polyherbal formulation for &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopical, preliminary phytochemical, quantitative phytoconstituents, and In-vitro antioxidant activity of all the individual extract and polyherbal formulation was done by chemical method. Identification of phytoconstituents with the aid of Gas chromatography – Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS).&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopical study and physicochemical examination, for example, ash value, extractive value, loss on drying, and pH were reported to&lt;em&gt; A. racemosus, B. variegata, C. bonducella, S. asoka,&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;S. racemosus&lt;/em&gt; and novel polyherbal formulation. Qualitative phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, gums &amp;amp; mucilage, carbohydrates, steroids, proteins &amp;amp; amino acids, fats &amp;amp; fixed oils, glycoside, phenols, and saponins. Quantitative estimation such as TAC, TFC, TGC, TSC, and TPC was showed positive results. All the individual extract and PHF were subjected to GC-MS analysis.

The complex process of wound healing has a severe effect on the life quality of patients as well as causing an economic load on healthcare institutions. Although the availability of various therapies for managing patients with acute and chronic wounds for the past decade, these therapies are usually expensive and accompanied by undesirable side effects. Hence, the discovery of a new arsenal for wound healing remains a hot topic of research. Recently, plants and their by-products have garnered remarkable attention as a source of therapeutic agents to treat wounds. This is because medicinal plants provide a rich reservoir of phytochemicals that could potentially become affordable and effective therapeutic agents. &lt;em&gt;Eurycoma longifolia &lt;/em&gt;Jack or Tongkat Ali (TA), is one of the well-known traditional plants of Malaysia, it has been scientifically proven to have medicinal properties. Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that can imbibe a significant number of fluids. In comparison to other systems developed for herbal medicines delivery, a unique power possessed by hydrogels is the high-water absorption ability. This ability has favoured the loading of herbal formulations, which are in general hydrophilic in nature, into hydrogels. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of this study is to prepare&lt;em&gt; Eurycoma longifolia &lt;/em&gt;Jack (E.l.J) Tongkat Ali (TA) roots hydrogel for wound application.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Authentication of&lt;em&gt; Eurycoma longifolia &lt;/em&gt;Jack roots was done by microscopic examination using methylene blue and Lugol’s iodine solution. Root extraction by Soxhlet technique. In vitro cytotoxicity of ethanol extract of the roots was evaluated in human primary gingival fibroblasts cells. The ethanolic extract was loaded into hydrogel as a suitable dosage form for further wound healing studies.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The crude herbal drug sample, TA present the same microscopical characters to that of E. longifolia Jack tap root. Ic50 was 118.5 μg/mL. The hydrogel was prepared using 2% xanthan gum and ethanol extract of TA was loaded successfully for its later application as a wound healing agent.&lt;/p&gt;

Endophytic fungal culture extracted from gall rust of sengon (&lt;em&gt;Falcataria moluccana&lt;/em&gt; Miq. Barneby and J. W. Grimes) has the ability on inhibiting&lt;em&gt; Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt;. To increase the production of bioactive compounds, this research was focused on isolates which produced the highest activity compounds, and sought the optimal fermentation conditions in the production of bioactive compounds. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The fermentation process was carried out on PDB liquid media for 21 days, under shaker conditions, at room temperature, and sampling measurements were hold every 3 days. Bioassay were carried out against &lt;em&gt;B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;E. coli.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The early stages fungal growth was adaptation stage, continued by 1-6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; days of exponential growth period. Day 6-12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; was stationary growth and day 15-21&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; were cell death periode. The highest secondary metabolite production was achieved at stationary periodes, that was occured at days 9-15&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;and high antibacterial activity was produced on days 9-12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The best production secondary metabolite that has high activity was at day 9-12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

To help reduce the mortality rate, the prognostic factors of several cases were studied. These steps are needed to be able to predict the prognosis of primary brainstem hemorrhage patients and to give a better explanation to the family of the patients. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A cross-sectional study was undertaken with collecting medical and radiological records from January 2018 to August 2020. A total sampling technique was done, and 340 patients were diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke during that period. Only ten patients met the inclusion criteria and were included as the study samples. Statistical analysis using SPSS 22 and the Spearman correlation test adjusted for each variable. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Low prevalence of primary brainstem hemorrhage (7%). There were correlation between GCS score, brainstem hemorrhage location, and length of stay with the patient’s prognosis.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Understanding these prognostic factors would reduce the prevalence of this primary brainstem hemorrhage and to ease the process of explaining the patients’ condition to the family.&lt;/p&gt;

This study aims to evaluate the protective effect of the aqueous extract of the leaves of&lt;em&gt; Salvia officinalis &lt;/em&gt;against cypermethrin-induced toxicity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;30 male rats weighing approximately 240 g were divided into equal six groups; the control group received tap water, the positive control received the aqueous extract of sage leaves (SLE) at a dose of (0.5g/kg bw), the groups treated with cypermethrin (Cyp1) at 8.33 mg/kg bw and (Cyp2) at 25 mg/kg bw, and the groups treated by cypermethrin combined with aqueous extract of sage SLE+Cyp1 (0.5g/kg bw+8.33 mg/kg bw) and SLE+Cyp2 (0.5g/kg bw+25 mg/kg bw) for four days/week. After 4 weeks of oral administration, epididymal seminal fluid was analyzed via the CASA system, in addition to the histological study testis and epididymis. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The obtained results showed a decrease in the absolute weight of the reproductive organs, with a significant decrease in sperm concentration, motility and speed in the cypermethrin-treated group compared to the control. Histological study of the testes and epididymis indicates an alteration in the stages of spermatogenesis in groups Cyp1 and Cyp2 compared to the control. However, the above-mentioned parameters were maintained almost normal in the groups that received the aqueous extract of sage with both doses of cypermethrin. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; it can be demonstrated that SLE has been shown to protect rats from cypermethrin-induced reprotoxicity.&lt;/p&gt;

Fresh leaves were collected, shade dried and extract was prepared by cold maceration followed by drying in a rota-vapour using methanol to obtain MECD as a sticky semi-solid mass. Thirty rats were taken and divided into 5 equal groups where, Group I, II, and III served as Normal Control, Negative control (PCM 3g/kg), and Positive control (Silymarin 200mg/kg) respectively; whereas, Group IV and V served as test groups where the rats were pre-treated orally with MECD 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg respectively for six days before administering PCM. On the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day all groups except Group I was administered with PCM (3g/kg). 48 hours post PCM induction, the animals were anesthetized, blood samples were obtained via retro-orbital sinus plexus and then the rats were sacrificed. The serum was assessed for the evaluation parameters like AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin levels. Apart from these; SOD, CAT, and MDA levels were also evaluated and it was concluded that treatment with MECD restored the levels to normal thereby exhibiting hepatoprotective activity. Moreover, histopathological evaluation was carried out to assess the liver for inflammation, infiltration, or necrosis where the MECD treated rats showed promising results.&lt;/p&gt;

However, the plant has not been explored much. In the present scenario of drug resistance and toxicity associated with available drugs, there is a need for elaborated studies of plants like &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argeneta&lt;/em&gt; which had been used as folk medicines. &lt;strong&gt;Aim and Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; The present article is focused on reviewing the ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, traditional usage, biological activities, of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; which has been used in traditional medicinal system for ages. The aim of the study was to assess the ethnopharmacological usage of this plant and to explore therapeutic potentials and future opportunities for research. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Information on the traditional usage and studies of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; was gathered from from various journals, MSc dissertation, conference abstract, local books. Various search engines including Google Scholar, Baidu Scholar, Elsevier, ACS, Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and EMBASE were used to collect the information along with libraries. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has played an important role in traditional medicines in Algeria, Portugal, Israel and Jordan. The aerial parts of this plant are used as diuretics in Algerian traditional medicines and are used as antiurolithiasis. Leaf decoction of this plant is also used as diuretic. &lt;em&gt;Paronychia argentea&lt;/em&gt; has been used as analgesic, treatment of stomach ulcer, anorexia, and flatulence in Portugal. Scientific studies on extracts of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; revealed a wide range of pharmacological activities including anti-microbial activity, anti-oxidant, nephroprotective activity. Moreover, few reports have given contradictory data for usage of &lt;em&gt;Paronychia &lt;/em&gt;when compared with its traditional usage. As in the case of alpha-amylase inhibitory efficacy of PA, it was observed that PA inhibits alpha-amylase activity but later on it was proven that PA does not have a hypoglycemic effect. Main bioactive metabolites present in this plant include alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on this review, there are evidences from various studies regarding pharmacological effects of this plant as nephroprotective, anti-oxidant, anti-microbial activity. Some indications from &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;studies have confirmed the inhibitory activity of this plant extract against alpha amylase enzyme. The available literature showed that most of the activities of the &lt;em&gt;Paronychia&lt;/em&gt; can be accredited to the flavonoids present in them. Data regarding mechanisms of action of this plant along with pharmacokinetics, toxicology studies is still limited, which indicate the need of such studies for the clinical usage of this plant.&lt;/p&gt;

It has been routinely used in the traditional Ayurvedic medicines against cough, ulcers, cancer, skin diseases, pruritus, wounds and urinary infections. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of this study was the pharmacognostical standardisation of &lt;em&gt;G. tiliifolia. &lt;/em&gt;Methods: Pharmacognostic evaluation of G.tiliifolia bark was carried out by usual macroscopic and microscopic examinations and phytochemical screening. In addition, the quantification of major phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and carotenoids were carried out by standard procedures which can further throw light on the medicinal use of this ethnobotanically important plant. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Anatomical studies revealed the presence of prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate and druses in the stem and bark. Mucilage cavities were observed only in the stem. Histochemical studies revealed that the tissues of phloem parenchyma are the main localising region of various phytoconstituents. The physicochemical examinations along with the estimation of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and carotenoids will help in setting the pharmacopoeial standards of &lt;em&gt;G.tiliifolia. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study provides useful information that will help in the exact identification as well as assessment of purity of crude drugs of&lt;em&gt; G.tiliifoia.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Owing to its increasing ethno-medicinal relevance, proper identification and evaluation are vital to prevent adulteration. This research article presents a detailed pharmacognostic, physicochemical and phytochemical evaluation on the leaves of &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis&lt;/em&gt; which will be used in its identification and consequent standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The fresh and powdered leaves were evaluated for their macroscopic and microscopic features. Physicochemical properties and phytochemical screening were carried out based on standard procedures by World Health Organization (WHO).&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis &lt;/em&gt;is a petiolate, stipulate and compound bi-pinnate leaf with reticulate venation, entire margin, chordate base and has opposite leaf arrangement. Microscopic diagnostic characters observed were paracytic stomata, unicellular covering trichomes, microsphenoidal shaped calcium oxalate crystals, lignified vessels and fibres as well as numerous starch grains. The total ash, water soluble ash, sulphated ash, acid insoluble ash compositions were 6.5, 0.5, 2.75 and 0.5% respectively. The moisture content, alcohol soluble extractive and water soluble extractive values obtained were 8.8, 3.8 and 3.7% respectively. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening showed flavonoids, tannins, steroids, phenols and alkaloids at 100.00±0.035, 22.00±0.036, 19.50±0.024, 15.00±0.032 and 13.00±0.014 mg/g respectively as the major phytochemical constituents. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The pharmacognostic standards of the leaves of &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis &lt;/em&gt;were determined and serve as quality control parameters for their purity, identification and standardization.&lt;/p&gt;

(&lt;em&gt;Myrsinaceae&lt;/em&gt;), composition and content of biologically active substances presented in the above-ground and underground parts, reporting use of this plant in traditional medicine, predicting possible pharmacotherapeutic effects. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Various electronic search engines such as Google, Google scholar, scientific literature, electronic databases such as e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed had been searched and data obtained. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Cyclamen &lt;/em&gt;L. is classified in the &lt;em&gt;Myrsinaceae&lt;/em&gt; family now. It is a typical element of the Mediterranean flora. C. coum. is a species characteristic of the Caucasus and Crimea with rounded leaves and rounded corolla lobes, bright and pink-purple flowers. Chemical composition of biologically active substances of&lt;em&gt; C. coum&lt;/em&gt; was described in sufficient detail. &lt;em&gt;C. coum&lt;/em&gt; contains saponins (coumoside A, coumoside B, cyclaminorin, deglucocyclamin, cyclacoumin, and mirabilin lactone), sterols (stigmasterol and other related compounds), piperidine alkaloid (2-β-D-glycopyranosyl-2-undecil-3,5-dihydroxy-6-carboxypiperidine), flavonoids, phenols, tannins, cardiac glycosides. Antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antitumor activities are established for different &lt;em&gt;C. coum&lt;/em&gt; extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;C. coum &lt;/em&gt;can be used for the production of potential anticancer, antibacterial and antifungal drugs. It should be noted that more pharmacognostic, pharmacological studies are needed for providing further information to use this medicinal plant in the official medicine. Also, standardization procedures for a crude herbal drug should be developed.&lt;/p&gt;

So it is necessary to screen a drug especially of herbal origin to treat the both head lice and dandruff without affecting eyes. In the present study, &lt;em&gt;Datura metel &lt;/em&gt;leaf extracts was evaluated for their insecticidal properties using head lice as an insect model. The study was conducted from November 2019 to March 2020. Plant sample (leaf) of &lt;em&gt;Datura metel&lt;/em&gt; was collected from anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, India in November 2019. The various concentration of ethanolic extract of leaves of &lt;em&gt;Datura metel&lt;/em&gt; was prepared by using distilled water. 20%, 40%, 60% were used. A colony of P.humanus capitis was collected by combing the hair of 20-25 infected children at the age group of 10-15. Head lice were reared in the glass vessels covered with nylon mesh containing tufts of hairs. The hair tufts was impregnated with appropriate doses for the screening. Pure culture of M.furfur (MTCC: 1374) was obtained from institute of Microbial type of culture collection, Chandigarh, India. The culture was maintained in SDA medium. The current study afford scientific basis for the ethnomedical use of this plant as antilice application. It is concluded that it can be optimistic that the present work proved &lt;em&gt;Datura metel &lt;/em&gt;of dual therapeutic advantage to be a potential phytochemical target in the design of a drug for the treatment of both lice and dandruff.&lt;/p&gt;

MPRM containing polyfructans or fructosans (inulin and others) are rather complex multicomponent matrixes with many interacting compounds. The article discusses the prospects for further standardization of inulin-containing pharmacopoeial MPRM that include, in addition to polysaccharides (inulin), other biologically active compounds with pharmacological activity. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Different types of search tools such as Google scholar, Google, scientific literature, normative documentation of Russian Federation (State Pharmacopoeia of Russian Federation IV edition and others) electronic databases such as e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed had been searched and data obtained. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The pharmacopoeial spectrophotometric procedures of inulin determination in the Russian Federation are approved in a version that does not fully satisfy modern standardization criteria. Regulatory changes required in the near future. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Undoubtedly, to determine inulin quantitatively, it is necessary to modify the existing spectrophotometric procedures and introduce an additional alternative, more specific HPLC-RID (or similar) ones.&lt;/p&gt;

The chemical composition of the extract was determined by HPLC-MS method. Its immunomodulating action has been explored &lt;em&gt;in vivo &lt;/em&gt;experiments involving intact animals, as well as immunosuppressed animals, treated with azathioprine cytostatic agent. Chicory extract was administered at a dose of 30 mg/kg per os 1 time per day for 14 days. As a reference drug, Immunal (Lec Pharma, Slovenia) was used. Chicory extract action on the state of cell immune component was evaluated in delayed hypersensitivity reaction. The humoral immunity condition was evaluated by the count of antibody-forming cells determined by the local hemolysis method. The state of the macrophage component of the immune response was evaluated in the phagocytosis reaction of peritoneal macrophages in relation to colloid liquid ink particles. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Dry chicory extract is capable to reduce the suppressive azathioprine effect on the cell-mediated immune response, antibody response, and phagocytosis with macrophages; it does not change the immunity indicators in intact animals. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Dry chicory extract contains phenolic complex of biologically active substances, namely oxycoumarins, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavonoids. Dry chicory extract is an effective immunocorrecting agent; it should be recommended for further study and application aiming for the prevention and treatment of immunodeficiency states.&lt;/p&gt;

It is imperative that available and effective methods can be utilized to assess the quality of samples before being consumed. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;A study of the leaves was conducted to ascertain its physicochemical, phytochemical, heavy metal and microbiological content to develop a simple but acceptable criteria which could be useful in ensuring the quality of this crude drug. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The qualitative and quantitative morphological features, physicochemical, phytochemical, microbial load and flouresent features of the leaves of&lt;em&gt; M. oleifera &lt;/em&gt;were evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; leaves were found to be glaborous with opposite leaflet, leaflet tripinnate, with a micronate apex and possessing an entire margin. Microscopy showed vein islets, rosette calcium oxalate crystals, polygonal epidermal cells and unicellular trichomes. The 50 % ethanol soluble extractives of &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; were highest, followed by the water and petroleum ether. Tannins, alkaloids, gylcosides, phenols, flavonoids, phenols, gums, and mucilage were present. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The documented pharmacognostic features may be used as part of daily protocols to correctly identify and determine the quality of the the crude plant. The preliminary phytochemical, heavy metal and microbiological limits can be further used to ascertain the quality of raw materials of &lt;em&gt;M. oleifera&lt;/em&gt; before they are used.&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;em&gt;Psydrax genus &lt;/em&gt;has been reported to have various pharmacological activities. Based on ethno-pharmacological information, &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis &lt;/em&gt;Schum. and Thonn. (Bridson) locally known as “&lt;em&gt;Akata-ike&lt;/em&gt;” in Nsukka is used in the management of diabetes in South-eastern Nigeria. However as at the time of this research, no previous work has been done to investigate its phytochemical constituents and anti-diabetic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The methanol extract (ME) obtained by maceration was analysed for phytochemicals present using standard procedures. Alloxan monohydrate at 150 mg/Kg was used to induce diabetes. Acute toxicity test was done using the Lorke’s method. The normoglycemic and alloxan-induced groups of twenty animals each were treated orally with 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg of ME; 5 mg/Kg of glibenclamide and 2 mL/kg of 3% Tween 80 as the controls. The fasting blood glucose concentrations were monitored at 0, 1, 3 and 6 h, as well as 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; and 5&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, saponins and terpenoids. Median lethal dose was greater than 5000 mg/kg. In the alloxan-induced diabetic rats, significant activity at &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01 on the 6th hour was recorded at doses 100, 200 and 400 mg/Kg ME on day 3. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The ME of &lt;em&gt;Psydrax horizontalis&lt;/em&gt; possesses significant anti-diabetic activity in the alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The results obtained validate its traditional use in management of diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

This research aims to investigate phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity and &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;cytotoxicity of marine algal &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum &lt;/em&gt;on cervical HeLa cancer.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum&lt;/em&gt; collected from Dompu beach, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia, were extracted into organic solvent of n-hexane, ethylacetate, chloroform and ethanol, respectively. Subsequently, &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts were applied for Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis, phytochemistry test, total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, as well as for antioxidant activity test by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, and in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation on HeLa cells by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Phytochemical analysis of&lt;em&gt; S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts are positive for metabolites of flavonoid, steroid, tannin and glycoside. TLC analysis revealed that &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts containing four phytochemical components. Ethylacetate extract of&lt;em&gt; S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; showed the highest total phenolic content, and exhibited greater antioxidant activity than ethanol extract. Total phenolic and total flavonoid content in ethylacetate extract are 548.61 μg/mL and 40.06 μg /mL, respectively. Ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 298.3 μg/mL is assigned to have a weak antioxidant activity against DPPH free radical. The results indicate that antioxidant activity of ethylacetate extracts of &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; is directly correlated with its total phenolic and flavonoid content. Moreover, &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts demonstrated a strong anticancer activity on cervical HeLa cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;ranging from 38.3 μg/mL to 112.8 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This work confirmed that S.polycystum are promising natural antioxidant and anti-cervical cancer agents.&lt;/p&gt;

However, growth of &lt;em&gt;E. coli &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;C. albicans&lt;/em&gt; could be not inhibited by &lt;em&gt;A. donax&lt;/em&gt; L. rhizome extracts. Analysis of the compounds as well as their antibacterial activities via hierarchical clustering showed that hexadecanoic acid is the major compound influencing &lt;em&gt;B. subtilis&lt;/em&gt; growth, while, B. cereus growth was affected by xanthone. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;Rhizomes of &lt;em&gt;A. donax&lt;/em&gt; L. is one potential source of antimicrobial agents and further applied in medicinal uses.&lt;/p&gt;

However, to date, lung cancer treatments are still not fully effective, quite expensive and very exhaustive for the patient. &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii&lt;/em&gt; is an abundant marine red macroalgae in Indonesia which have a potential anti-lung cancer properties. Aim of this research is to determine phytochemical profile of &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii &lt;/em&gt;extracts, as well as to evaluate its antioxidant and cytotoxic effects on Lung A-549 cancer cells.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii&lt;/em&gt; obtained from Sorong beach, West Papua Province, Indonesia, were extracted with three different solvents, that is ethanol, ethylacetate, and n-hexane. These three &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii &lt;/em&gt;extracts were identified for its phytochemical profiles, antioxidant activity by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay, and cytotoxic activity on lung A-549 cells by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical analysis revealed that &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii&lt;/em&gt; contains metabolites of triterpenoid and alkaloid. Antioxidant activity evaluation showed ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii &lt;/em&gt;has IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 559.76 μg/mL against DPPH free radical. Whereas cytotoxicity evaluation showed that ethanol extract and ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii&lt;/em&gt; have cytotoxic effects on Lung A-549 cancer cells, with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of 251.73 μg/ mL and 261.41 μg/mL, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results suggesting that &lt;em&gt;Eucheuma cottonii &lt;/em&gt;extract could be further developed as a natural anti-lung cancer agent.&lt;/p&gt;

The sample consists of 36 individuals selected randomly from each locality. The major chemical groups were determined by conventional methods using specific general reagents. The determination of total polyphenols and total flavonoids, the 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH.) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing of antioxidant power (FRAP) were evaluated by spectrophotometry. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results of the photochemical screening revealed the presence of saponins, alkaloids, sterols and triterpenes, flavonoids and polyphenols in both parts of the fruit (pulp and seeds). Assays carried out on extracts of pulp and seed powders reveals higher levels of total polyphenols and flavonoids in the pulp. The study of antioxidant activity has shown that hydro-ethanol extracts of pulp and seeds have a very interesting reducing activity, particularly in the pulp. However, we can see a weak antiradical activity of these extracts. The origin effect has a weak influence on the antiradical and reducing activity of the pulp and seed extracts.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;The biological activity of the harvested &lt;em&gt;Boscia senegalensis&lt;/em&gt; extracts highlighted in this study could justify the traditional uses of this plant in the treatment of several pathologies. This fruit should be consumed in order to prevent few dietary imbalances or valorized in order to develop new bioactive compounds.&lt;/p&gt;

Although&lt;em&gt; Zea mays&lt;/em&gt; (ZM) silks are considered as waste products, they are consumed for their medicinal properties. They are rich in bioactive components, giving them a wide range of uses as remedies. The aim of this study was to evaluate after a phytochemical screening, the effect of ZM silk aqueous extract on humoral immune response, on Neutrophil bactericidal, antioxidants and hemolytic activities. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The antioxidant activity was assessed using DPPH. Hemagglutination titer assay was used to evaluate the effect on humoral immunity. Hemolytic effect of ZM was evaluated by quantifying hemoglobin rates. The effect on Neutrophil bactericidal activity was assessed using MTT colorimetric assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The extract exhibited high quantity of saponins and flavones; a high antioxidant activity (IC50: 247,15 vs. control 0,152 mg/ml), a significant (p&amp;lt;0, 05) immunosuppressive effect in vivo on titer values of antibodies (80 times) as well as an antibacterial effect on &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Salmonella enteritidis&lt;/em&gt;. A significant suppression of Neutrophil bactericidal activity of cells treated with 0, 5 and 1g/ml of ZM extract was observed. It also exhibited a significant dose-dependent anti-hemolytic activity with the lowest hemolytic activity was found with the lowest concentrations of the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our results indicate that aqueous extract of ZM silk possess antioxidant, anti-hemolytic activity as well as an immunosuppressive activity by decreasing humoral immune and Neutrophil bactericidal responses.&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;

This article highlights current understanding on SARSCoV- 2 based on the available scientific evidence on human coronavirus (HCoV) infections, which could offer novel insights and therapeutic targets for SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Specifically, the paper presents available phytotherapeutic evidence against pathogenic HCoVs with a view to identifying potent plant-derived antiviral agents that could be developed to aid the fight against coronaviruses and the current COVID-19. Evidently, elucidation of CoV integral proteins such as the spike protein, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, 3C-like cysteine protease and papain-like protease, as good targets for drug developments has lent credence to the use of medicinal plants or their metabolites as prophylaxis or treatment interventions in CoV infections and holds promising ground for SARS-CoV-2. While some promising phytocompounds are currently under clinical trials for COVID-19, increased research into plants and in-depth characterization of their metabolites could reveal more interesting results that would benefit humanity in its fight against emerging and re-emerging viral infections including the current COVID-19. Overall, given the current body of evidence on the potential development of phytotherapeutics for COVID-19, fears need to be allayed while clinical trials continue. Conclusively, the lockdown and other preventive measures which have been implemented in most parts of the world should be humanely exercised and supported to ensure compliance and safety of lives.&lt;/p&gt;

Some previous studies reported that bawang dayak has antibacterial properties. However, the study of bawang dayak as anti-acne in Indonesia was limited so that it becomes one of the reasons why this study should be developed. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study was aimed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of bawang dayak ethanol extract and to determine the antibacterial activity of the chloroform fraction and the ethyl acetate fraction of bawang dayak extract. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The MIC value was determinate by measured initial absorbance and final absorbance of ten variations of concentration of extract using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The antibacterial activity of chloroform and ethyl acetate fraction was performed using the disc diffusion technique, with five variations of concentration against &lt;em&gt;P.acnes, S. epidermidis, S. aureus. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The decrease in absorbance value occurred at a concentration of 0.19%, 1.56% to 100%, which means that at that concentration can inhibit bacterial growth. The antibacterial activity showed that both the chloroform fraction and ethyl acetate fraction of bawang dayak extract were active against all the tested bacteria, whose inhibition zones were in the range of 5.8 ± 0.9 - 23.6 ± 2.3 mm. However, the ethyl acetate fraction of bawang dayak extract showed better antibacterial activity than chloroform fraction of bawang dayak extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study, it was found that the concentration of 0.19% is the MIC of bawang dayak extract against P. acnes. The highest antibacterial activity was produced by 20% of ethyl acetate fraction of bawang dayak extract against &lt;em&gt;S. aureus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Some pilot anti-smoking products with nicotine replacement, such as lozenges or gum, have been presented, but with some adverse effects. Thus, application of VC as a new-anti-smoking product is very challenging. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;The aims of this study were to compare the active compounds; total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and nicotine, and study antioxidant activity on scavenging 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrzayl (DPPH) radicals of extracts prepared by spray drying (SD) and freeze drying (FD) techniques for pilot hard candy. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Raw VC materials of mixed parts, i.e., the stem, flowers and leaves, were made to form extracts by FD and SD techniques. Then, extract from the SD technique was manufactured industrially into hard candy containing glucose syrup and refined glucose. Total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, nicotine, scavenging activity of extracts, VC hard candy and placebo candy were evaluated by folin-ciocalteau reagent, aluminum chloride colorimetric assay, high-performance liquid chromatography, ABTS cation decolorization and DPPH protocols.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Total phenolic compounds were significantly different between extracts, but total flavonoids and nicotine were slightly higher in SD extract. Antioxidant activity of both extracts on ABTS radicals was not significantly different, but the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) on DPPH radicals was significantly higher in SD extract when compared to the FD extract. Finally, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and nicotine, as well as scavenging activity could be detected in hard candy. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;VC can be used as an anti-smoking aid with nicotine replacement and anti-oxidant compounds in pilot hard candy.&lt;/p&gt;

Although many studies established the prebiotic property of inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides, there are less information of the prebiotic potential of JA crude extract. This study aimed to investigate prebiotic effect of the JA extract and develop prebiotic granules from JA extract.&lt;strong&gt; Material and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Crude polysaccharide extract of JA was obtained using hot water and freeze-dried method. The selected probiotics, including&lt;em&gt; L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, B. longum&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; B. breve &lt;/em&gt;were used in this study. The prebiotic effect of the JA extract was indicated by bacterial growth and acid production. Parallelly, JA extract granule formulation was developed to be a prebiotic food product. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The JA extract at the highest concentration tested (2%) caused a significant increase in the growth and acid production of every probiotics tested, including&lt;em&gt; L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, B. longum &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;B. breve.&lt;/em&gt; The growth promoting effects of the 2% JA extract were detected as early as 12 hour-incubation, and this action was maintained throughout the observed incubation period.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The developed JA extract granules possessed desirable properties with the moisture content of 4.00±0.20%. The formulated granule was soluble in water and produced a brown and clear solution with slightly sweet taste. Nonetheless,&lt;em&gt; in vivo&lt;/em&gt; experiments on the prebiotic effect of the developed preparation should be performed further.&lt;/p&gt;

Health provision in Jordan like other developing nations is poor compared to countries like the United Kingdom (UK) and US. However, concurrent use of conventional medication and the supplements and traditional herbs can impact on the treatment of hypertension. In this regards, it was significant to conduct this study to find out the prevalence of supplements and traditional herbs usage among hypertensive patients in Jordan so as to understand the associated factors and create awareness on the magnitude so that appropriate advice can be given to patients and thus improve health of populations. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The study employed a cross-sectional study design in undertaking the research. A total of 208 hypertension patients aged 16 years and above were used as the sample. Purposive and convenient sampling was applied in the selection of the Om elamad health centre in Jordan because it has a population of the catchment Centre. Data analysis was carried out using various techniques SPSS version21and excel.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The key findings of the study were as follows: Hypertension was prevalent among the elderly, herbs had no effect on the blood pressure, conventional drugs were more potent in comparison to herbs and/or supplements. Combining antihypertensive drugs and herbs was found to be potent than taking antihypertensive drugs only(P-value=0.0050) in SBP, and (P-value=0.0001) in DPB. Influences on herbs use came from the patients' families/relatives as they were found to be the most knowledgeable sources of medicinal herbs. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;From the study, it was deduced that the use of herbal medicines and supplements as well as antihypertensive drugs was prevalent among hypertensive patients in Jordan. Over half of the patients involved in this study were taking herbs to treat their blood pressure diseases (51. 4 %). It was also deduced that a combined usage of herbal medicine and supplements with antihypertensive drugs was far more potent than using antihypertensive drugs only.&lt;/p&gt;

It serves as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy metabolism. The laboratory test against thiamine deficiency can be done by measuring thiamine levels in the blood. The aim of this study was to identify the stability and the binding activity characters of TBP. The equilibrium dialysis technique was used to see the factors affecting the bond between TBP and thiamine. The MBTBP concentration of post-chromatographic affinity resulted from dilution of lyophilisate was stable for 30 days at -20°C and 3 days at 4°C. The optimal pH for binding MBTBP to thiamine was 7.5. Alkylation with iodoacetic acid decreased the binding capacity of TBP which suggested the presence of a–SH or imidazol group in its active site. The importance of disulfide bridge was proven by decreasing of Thiamine binding capacity of TBP after β-mercaptoethanol treatment. This binding activity was also affected by oxidizing agents, but it was less affected by calcium ions and heavy metals.&lt;/p&gt;

Phytoadaptogens group includes phytoecdysteroids and polyphenols, that are characterized by the multiplicity of pharmacological effects in combination with the low toxicity. According to literature data, spinach (&lt;em&gt;Spinacia oleracea &lt;/em&gt;L.) is a promising source of these compounds. This work aims to systematize data on the chemical composition of biologically active compounds of spinach, that determine its adaptogenic properties and concentration methods in the spinach processing for use in specialized foods and dietary supplements.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Manifold electronic search engines, electronic databases, and libraries such as Google, Google scholar, Crossref, Indian Science Abstracts, Emerging Sources Citation Index, e-Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed, Chemical Abstracts, Index Copernicus, scientific literature had been searched and data obtained. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Botanical characteristics of spinach, main cultivation conditions, the latest data on the chemical composition of raw spinach material cultivars and extracts based on it are presented in this study. Schemes for the obtaining of products enriched with polyphenols and ecdysteroids are considered, and ways of proper purification are mentioned. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It is recommended to introduce spinach into the diet of healthy people in order to increase the functional reserves of a person during periods of hypovitaminosis, overwork, intense physical exertion, and also to compensate for the adverse effects of external factors. Spinach extracts containing phytoecdysteroids (20-hydroxyecdysone) and polyphenols (flavonoids) can be used as a prophylactic to overcome the negative effects of stress, accelerate recovery after strong physical and mental stress, particularly for people with extreme occupations, athletes, and those who are engaged in hard physical labor.&lt;/p&gt;

The 1% carrageenan-induced air pouch model was used for evaluated inflammation, where albumin, total proteins, MDA, number and leukocyte differentiation were determined in the exudate, and a histopathological evaluation was performed. The concentrations evaluated were 100, 250 and 500 mg/kg of &lt;em&gt;E. canescens&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; All the concentrations evaluated protected protected erythrocytes from lipoperoxidation (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05), being E.D. value 200 μg/mL. Regarding anti-inflammatory effect, the albumin, total proteins and MDA values of the treatment groups were lower than carrageenan 1% group (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05), but, due to less leukocyte migration and presence of macrophages and the histopathological evaluation, the E.D value was 500 mg/kg. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Ethanolic extracts of &lt;em&gt;E. canescens &lt;/em&gt;leaves protect erythrocytes from lipoperoxidation and have dose-dependent anti-inflammatory effects maybe for presence of p-hydroxyacetophenone-derived, and these could be new safer anti-inflammatories.&lt;/p&gt;

Its mainstay treatment is chemotherapy although they are largely toxic, causing severe adverse reactions including cardiotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and genotoxicity. Cardiotoxicity is unique to certain chemotherapeutic agents and occur via several mechanisms. It has been hypothesized that co-administration of natural products which may be cardioprotectant, together with chemotherapy can alleviate cardiotoxicity-induced by chemotherapy. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; This review aimed to provide a brief information about the protective effect of natural products against chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; To complete this review, relevant literatures were searched from several scientific databases including Google, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science and Pubmed. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;In this paper, we have reviewed ten natural products (curcumin, mangiferin, naringenin, quercetin, 6-gingerol, lycopene, resveratrol, apigenin, proanthocyanidins and indole-3-carbinol), which have major influences in attenuating chemotherapy-drug induced cardiotoxicity. Apart from the cardioprotective effects, they tend to confer some synergistic effects with chemotherapeutic agents and therefore have the potential to be used as an adjunct. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Though a panel of natural products demonstrate protective effects against cardiotoxicity in cells and animal models, their therapeutic potentials for clinical needs further investigation.&lt;/p&gt;

Control plant (600 mg/kg fig, orally), III, IV. Control positive (treated i.p with 10 and 15 mg/kg CP), V-VII. groups treated with fig (200, 400 and 600 mg/ kg) + Cisplatin (15 mg/kg). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Ficus carica&lt;/em&gt; alleviated the destructive effects of CP in the testis, liver and bone marrow due to the presence of high amount of flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Also it has a normal effect in the tested parameters as compared with the control negative. Chromatographic investigation resulted in the identification of 6 compounds: Catechin, Luteolin-8-C-β-D glucopyranoside, Quercetin, Quercetin-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, Chlorogenic acid and Kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside. In bone marrow cisplatin induced significant percentage of chromosome abnormalities, micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes and toxicity to cells. On the contrary the two tested doses of cisplatin had a normal effect on spermatocyte chromosomes (germ cells). The dose 15 mg/kg induced an overexpression of the liver genes NF-kB and iNOS as indicated by real-time PCR. Different forms of histopathological alterations and instigation of the expression of TNF-α gene in the testis were detected after CP treatment. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ficus carica&lt;/em&gt; is a promising candidate rich in many bioactive constituents and can be used in combination with chemotherapeutic drugs to alleviate their destructive effects.&lt;/p&gt;

However, sweet-type is more available than sour-type. Therefore, developing a new product from sweet-type star fruit, and evaluating its effectiveness on antioxidants and inflammation have been very challenging.&lt;strong&gt; Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;The aims were to develop a prototype product from sweet-type star fruit and evaluate its effectiveness with or without walking exercise on participants with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The prototype product of sweet-type star fruit was prepared industrially by mixing with honey before nutrients such as L-ascorbic acid (Vit C) and total phenolic compound, and contaminants like chemicals, microbials and oxalic acid were evaluated. Effectiveness of this product on antioxidents, inflammation and physical function was evaluated in participants with stable COPD with and without walking exercise, and compared to walking exercise and control participants. Two spoons of the product (20 g) in sterile warm water (150 mL) were guided and consumed twice daily for 4 weeks, whereas the walking exercise was prescribed with moderate intensity at home for 30 min 3 days per week. Plasma Vit C, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrotic factoralpha (TNF-∝) and 6-minutes walking distance (6MWD) were evaluated before and after the 4-week study period. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The prototype product composed of star fruit juice with honey (1:1, v:v). Main nutrients were composed of ash (0.4 g), carbohydrate (74.59 g), lipid (2.88 g), protein (0.57 g) and 326.56 kcal of total energy, whereas Vit C and total phenolic compound were equivalent to 0.25 ± 0.11 mg and 144.89 ± 2.51 μg gallic acid equivalent in a 100 gram of product. The results of chemicals and microbials showed safety under food conditions. The results of study compared the ages of stable COPD participants between those of the controls (n=10, 69.20±1.40 years), and those with star fruit juice and honey supplement (n=20, 71.25 ± 6.01 years), walking exercise (n=15, 60.60±3.38 years), and supplement with walking exercise (n=15, 64.40±1.63 years) and no statistical difference was shown in any parameters in the control group. Whereas, the plasma Vit C and TAC levels increased, and MDA and TNF-∝ levels reduced significantly, in the supplement consumption group, which was in contrast to the Vit C, MDA and TNF-∝ levels in the walking exercise group. However, the TAC level increased significantly when the walking exercise was completed. When the prototype product was applied to the walking exercise, the levels of Vit C and TAC increased, and MDA and TNF-∝ levels reduced significantly. Whereas, the supplement levels increased significantly in all of the groups, especially in the 6MWD. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study proposed that sweet-type star fruit can be prepared industrially by mixing with honey, and be developed as a new commercial product with antioxidant and inflammation activities for participants suffering with chronic lung disease.&lt;/p&gt;

Its stem bark, leaves and fruits were studied biologically, but so far its root has not been studied.&lt;strong&gt; Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of the present study is to standardize the root of &lt;em&gt;Careya arborea &lt;/em&gt;and its extracts pharmacognostically and also to screen its extracts for their antimicrobial activities against several bacteria and fungi using standard procedures.&lt;strong&gt; Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Loss on drying, extractive and ash values, fluorescence and phytochemical analysis of the root and its extracts were studied using standard procedures. Antimicrobial activity was carried out by determining minimum inhibitory concentration. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Among all the extracts, the successive ethyl acetate extract was found to be the most active with lowest MIC values against &lt;em&gt;L. acidophilius, S. aureus, C. freundii, P. aeruginosa and M. luteus.&lt;/em&gt; The successive chloroform extract was also found to be highly active against &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa and fungi, M. furfur and C. albicans&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results are helpful in standardizing the root of the plant and since several of the root extracts possess antimicrobial properties, there is a need to isolate its constituents.&lt;/p&gt;

Leaves have a sour taste and have been used in Thai remedies for wound healing, diuretic, dysentery and emmenagogue. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to focus on pharmacognostic specification and quantitative analysis of quercetin and quercitrin in &lt;em&gt;B. malabarica&lt;/em&gt; leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Various methods such as macroscopic and microscopic evaluations of &lt;em&gt;B. malabarica&lt;/em&gt; leaf were studied along with physico-chemical parameters and quantitated quercetin and quercitrin using RP-HPLC. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Whole plant, structures of dried powder crude drug, cross section of midrib and leaf measurement were established. Paracytic stomata and multicellular trichome were found on lower epidermis. &lt;em&gt;B. malabarica&lt;/em&gt; leaves from 15 sources throughout Thailand were examined the pharmacognostic specification according to WHO guideline. Physico-chemical parameters showed that loss on drying, total ash, acid insoluble ash and water content should not be more than 8.00, 7.08, 1.79 and 8.28 % of dry weight while ethanol and water soluble extractive values should not be less than 13.78 and 16.47 % of dry weight respectively. Quercetin and quercitrin were the markers for quantitative analysis using RP-HPLC with diode array detector in &lt;em&gt;B. malabarica&lt;/em&gt; ethanolic extract. Quercetin and quercitrin contents were found to be 0.18 g and 0.38 g in 100 g of dried crude drug. Method validation was determined according to ICH guideline. All results were in the acceptable range and could be used for identity, safety, efficacy and quality of &lt;em&gt;B. malabarica&lt;/em&gt; leaves in Thailand.&lt;/p&gt;

The present study shows a detailed analysis of pharmacognostic evaluation of leaf powder and root that will be used for the purpose of identification, authentication, and consequent standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Both the leaf and root were evaluated for their macroscopic and microscopic features. The physicochemical parameters of the leaf powder and its phytochemical screening were done based on its total phenols and flavonoïd content. Artemisinin content was also performed using weigh method after extraction. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Physicochemical evaluation yielded water, alcohol, acetone, methanol, chloroform, and petroleum ether soluble extractive values which are 2.25%, 1.25%, 4.22%, 8.12% and 3.77% (w/w), respectively. Fluorescence analysis imparted characteristic colors to the leaf powder when observed under visible, UV light 254 and 365 nm. Phytochemical screening of leaf powder showed the presence of alkaloïds, flavonoïd, and anthracene derivatives. Total phenols and flavonoïd content were 32.5 ± 0.67 mEq Gallic Acid/100 mg and 11.3 ± 1.52. mgEq Quercetin/100 mg, respectively. Artemisinin content value was 0.009% (w/w). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Various pharmacognostic parameters which were evaluated assisted in identification and standardization of &lt;em&gt;A. annua &lt;/em&gt;leaf in powder and crude form.&lt;/p&gt;

Owing to its proven efficacy, it has gained commercial value, particularly as a key ingredient in several herbal products and alcoholic beverages. The increased scarcity owing to demand outstripping supply lend the roots of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; to adulteration. This paper presents a detailed pharmacognostic evaluation of the leaf, stem and root of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; which will be used in its identification and consequent standardization. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The leaf, stem and root were evaluated for their macroscopic and microscopic features as were the physicochemical parameters and phytochemical screening done. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Leaves are alternately arranged, have collateral vascular bundle, crystal sheaths and a pericyclic fibre. Actinocytic stomata and secretory cells were contained in powdered leaves. The stem showed lenticels and thorns, stellate and branched trichomes which leave off cicatrices in older stems. The powdered stem and roots contained stone cells, secretory cells and scalariform vessels. However, the roots lacked thorns, trichomes and had smaller secretory cells. Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaves, stem and roots were slightly acidic to neutral. Ash values of leaves, stem and roots are (16.58 ± 0.09) % w/w, (5.01 ± 0.09) % w/w and (6.53 ± 0.19) % w/w respectively. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the leaves, stem and roots showed the presence of glycosides, flavonoids and tannins. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The determined parameters for the leaf, stem and root of &lt;em&gt;C. erythrocarpos&lt;/em&gt; constitute quality parameters for their unequivocal identification.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; Linn. fruit (Family: Punicacea), known as Pomegranate is ethno-medicinally prescribed in various part of world for treatment of different diseases it is used as antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer and antiparasitic agent. &lt;strong&gt;Method&lt;/strong&gt;: The present study was thus undertaken to find out the necessary pharmacognostical standards for evaluating the fruit of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt;. Different assessment such as macroscopical characters, microscopical studies, physicochemical evaluations (loss on drying, moisture content by Karl Fischer titration, ash values, extractive values) and TLC/HPTLC finger print profiling were performed and the relevant quantitative and qualitative parameters were reported. &lt;em&gt;Invitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity is also performed by HPLC-DPPH method. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Fruit of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt; are Reddish brown in color, Globular and Oval, smooth, 5.0 o 12.0 cm in diameter. Powdered fruit confirmed the presence of Stone cell, Endospermic cell, Group of stone cells, Nonlignified fiber, Starch grain and Lignified fibers and vessels. TLC of the extracts was also carried out in the current study. Physicochemical standards quantified include loss on drying (36.62 ± 4.17 %), moisture content (32.15 ± 3.64 %) total ash (8.58% ± 1.06 %), water soluble ash (7.15 ± 0.97 %), acid insoluble ash (0.45 ± 0.03 %). Safety profile of plant part was recognized by quantify microbial limit test, pesticide residue and heavy metals (Cd, As, Hg and Pb) evaluation. Here is no visible microbial growths were seen in sample. Pesticide residue and heavy metals were observed to be present within the acceptable limits. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: Scientific investigations do not yet exist to identify the exact plant part and to determine its quality and purity. These studies provided referential information for accurate identification and standardization of this herbal material. These analyses will also be useful to distinguish &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt; from the closely associated to other species of Punica.&lt;/p&gt;

In different parts of Indonesia, it is commonly known as “&lt;em&gt;paitan&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;kembang bulan&lt;/em&gt;”. The study provides an early description of &lt;em&gt;Tithonia diversifolia&lt;/em&gt; (Hemsl.) A. Gray) and complete the monographs data extract. This plant prospects to the main source of the raw material for the herb-drug product and some parameters identified were needed to ensure the safety, quality and efficacy of the product. The present study is to evaluate macrosand microscopic characteristic of the Indonesian plant and its quality parameter including fluorescence, physicochemical characteristics and phytochemical screening. Moisture content, ethanol and water-soluble extract was determined, and were discovered to be 11,27%, 4,73% and 18,01%. Total ash value and acid insoluble ash value were determined which was 10.29 and 0.72 % respectively. Phytochemical screening of aqueous ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;Tithonia diversifolia &lt;/em&gt;showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and triterpenoids. The result showed that average content of flavonoid total is 69.1653 mg QE/g extract.&lt;/p&gt;

Though immature fruits of some &lt;em&gt;Cinnamomum&lt;/em&gt; species are also reported to be sold as&lt;em&gt; Nagakesara/Sirunagappu&lt;/em&gt; in the crude drug markets there are no pharmacognostic studies available for the identification and analysis of this crude drug. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study, marketed Nagakesara/ Sirunagappu samples were procured from Chennai raw drug market and analyzed as per the standard methodologies for pharmacognostic studies. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macro-microscopical characters and chemical identity of the samples of immature fruits were established to derive set of characters for the identification of this marketed material. The proposed results would help in identification of this crude drug while used as substitute drug for the official source. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The botanical Nagakesara or Sirunagappu is neither stamen nor flower, but it is fruit of &lt;em&gt;Cinnamomum&lt;/em&gt; species. As Western Ghats is habitat for several similar looking species of &lt;em&gt;Cinnamomum&lt;/em&gt;, there is necessity to study the pharmacognostical characters of all species of&lt;em&gt; Cinnamomum&lt;/em&gt; before concluding the botanical source of this ambiguous raw drug of Ayurveda and Siddha.&lt;/p&gt;

In this work, we extended our research to screen the antitumor activity of RS ethanol extract as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation against murine Ehrlich solid carcinoma (EAC) model. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate the most common waste in Egypt RS to screen out its &lt;em&gt;in vivo&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxic activity and as combined therapy with radiotherapy.&lt;strong&gt; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Tested sample RS was investigated for its content of phenolics by LC/MS/MS, in addition, ethanolic extracts of the tested sample were investigated as antitumor on female mice inoculated with EAC cells as a single treatment and in the presence of combined radiotherapy with a low dose of gamma radiation (LDR). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; LC/MS/MS revealed that rice straw was rich in phenolic acids (vanillic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and sinapic acid) along with catechin and flavonoids aglycones (quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol). Rice straw and/or exposure to a low dose of γ-radiation caused a marked suppression of tumor growth and induced significant reduction in VEGF level &amp;amp; in IL-6 level with significant elevation in IL-10 serum level. Rice straw caused a significant down regulation in the gene transcription level of MCL1 and b-catenin, and a significant up-regulation of Caspase-3 and Bax gene expression. RS extract and LDR (EC + RS + R group) revealed that there was a mild form of necrosis with severe apoptosis in the tumor cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; From the aforementioned results, it can be concluded that RS/LDR effectively and synergistically work towards inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. These findings were well supported with histopathological studies suggesting that RS/low dose gamma radiation can serve as a good therapeutic agent against cancer but still need further clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;

The &lt;em&gt;Zingiberaceae &lt;/em&gt;are distributed throughout tropical Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Many members are economically important as spices, ornamentals, cosmetics, traditional medicines, and/or ingredients of religious rituals. One of the most prominent characteristics of this plant family is the presence of essential oils in particularly the rhizomes but in some cases also the leaves and other parts of the plant. The essential oils are in general made up of a variety of, among others, terpenoid and phenolic compounds with important biological activities. The Republic of Suriname (South America) is well-known for its ethnic and cultural diversity as well as its extensive ethnopharmacological knowledge and unique plant biodiversity. This paper first presents some general information on the &lt;em&gt;Zingiberacea &lt;/em&gt;family, subsequently provides some background about Suriname and the &lt;em&gt;Zingiberacea&lt;/em&gt; species in the country, then extensively addresses the traditional uses of one representative of the seven genera in the country and provides the phytochemical and pharmacological support for these uses, and concludes with a critical appraisal of the medicinal values of these plants.&lt;/p&gt;

Diabetic neuropathy improvement was also tested as well as insulin levels and histology of the pancreas were performed. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: The chromatographic standardization of &lt;em&gt;C. intybus&lt;/em&gt; extract was performed using isocratic HPLC, which indicated the presence of numerous phyto-constituents. The hexane extract was studied for its effect on blood glucose levels and painful diabetic neuropathy (DN) in diabetic mice. Hyperalgesia and mechanical-allodynia were evaluated using thermal stimuli, pain response to radiant energy experiments and a mechanical sensitivity test respectively. Subsequently, after eight weeks of being alloxinated, BGL, body weight, antioxidant activity, insulin levels and glycated hemoglobin were recorded to evaluate antidiabetic potential and the DN. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: The administration of &lt;em&gt;Cichorium intybus&lt;/em&gt; extract (50, 75 and 100 mg/kg) and a combination of &lt;em&gt;Cichorium intybus&lt;/em&gt; extract and &lt;em&gt;Camellia sinensis&lt;/em&gt; (50 + 200 mg/kg, respectively) have revealed an acute hypoglycemic effect ranging from 14.15% and 42.4%. The sub-chronic anti-diabetic effect ranged from 23.41% and 44.8%. They diminished hyperalgesia and tangible allodynia significantly (p&amp;lt;0.05), (n=7 per group). The powerful neuroprotective properties might serve as potential lead-compounds for further analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The histological study and the potent antioxidant effect showed that they could assist in the management of diabetes mellitus and DN by amelioration of insulin levels and regeneration of pancreatic beta cells.&lt;/p&gt;

Senegal’s&lt;/em&gt; leaves. Methods: Methanol and acetone crude extracts of leaves of &lt;em&gt;A. senegal &lt;/em&gt;were prepared by maceration using organic solvents, methanol and acetone respectively. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis of the crude extracts were evaluated using Association of Agricultural and Chemist (AOAC) protocols. Antioxidant activities of the crude extracts were determined using 2, 2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The crude extracts (acetone and methanol) showed vary quality of phytochemical constituent including flavonoid, alkaloids, carbohydrate, saponins, tannin, steroids, and terpenoids. Acetone crude possessed significant (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) higher total flavonoid and proanthocyanidin content in comparison with methanol extracts. Whereas, methanol crude extract possessed significant higher total phenol content compared with acetone crude extract. The crude extracts showed antioxidant activities as evidence in scavenging ABTS and DPPH radicals. However, acetone crude with lower IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 0.09 mg/mL possessed significant higher ABTS scavenging ability compared to methanol (0.07 mg/mL) and ascorbic acid (0.07 mg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The crude extracts could serve as a promising natural antioxidant agent in management of oxidative stress diseases. For further studies, bioactive compounds need to be ascertained.&lt;/p&gt;

The aims of the research were to study the phytochemical constituents and free radical scavenging activity of &lt;em&gt;Schima wallichii&lt;/em&gt; stem bark. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Extraction of &lt;em&gt;S.wallichii&lt;/em&gt; stem bark was carried out by maceration method using methanol and then the methanol extract was partitioned using n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol successively. The methanol extract was then screened to determine the presence of different classes of secondary metabolites. The ethyl acetate fraction was subjected to silica column chromatography followed by exclusion chromatography on sephadex LH-20 to yield two partially purified isolates, SA and SE4. FTIR and GC-MS analyses indicated SA asa mixture of&lt;em&gt; pentadecanoic acid&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;14-methyl-, methyl esterand&lt;/em&gt; patchouli alcohol, while SE4 was made up predominantly of &lt;em&gt;pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl-, 13-hydroxy methyl ester&lt;/em&gt;. Free radical scavenging activity was performed by using2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical oxidation method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The phytochemical screening indicated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, terpenes and quinones. All tested samples, methanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate and butanol extracts showed strong antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 8.58, 17.36, 8.17 and 8.79 μg/mL, respectively. The isolates showed strong antioxidant activity with SE4 exhibiting an IC50 value of about 5.5 times stronger than quercetin used as a standard antioxidant.&lt;/p&gt;

Components of the collected essential oils were examined by the techniques such as Gas chromatography and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The analysis showed that the major components of essential oils were linalool (48.69%), 1,8-cineole (14.00%), trans-α-bergamotene (8.23%) and eugenol (6.64%). The antioxidant investigation was achieved using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as a radical scavenger and bleaching of β-carotene/linoleic assay. The essential oil displayed strong inhibition with 110.8% against autoxidation of linoleic acid, while the scavenging of DPPH radical gave a value of IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;145.35 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results signify that essential oils of &lt;em&gt;O. Basilicum&lt;/em&gt; could be used for pharmaceutical studies and preservative in the food industry. This is the first study of the essential components of new cultivate of Thai basil in Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;

The extraction of phytochemicals was carried out by three different methods&lt;em&gt; viz&lt;/em&gt;. sonication, maceration and soxhlet in methanol to identify the best extraction method. Further, analysis of Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) and Total Polyphenolic Content (TPC) were carried out using rutin trihydrate and gallic acid as a reference standard. Antioxidant capacity was estimated using three methods viz. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay. In addition to this, GC-MS analysis was also performed for the identification of volatile constituents of Methanol Extract of Stems (MES) and Methanol Extract of Roots (MER). &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The MES and Dimethylsulfoxide Extract of Stems (DES) were found to have higher Chlorophyll a (Ch&lt;sub&gt;a&lt;/sub&gt;) content in comparison to Chlorophyll b (Ch&lt;sub&gt;b&lt;/sub&gt;) and Carotenoids (C&lt;sub&gt;ca&lt;/sub&gt;). Carbohydrate profile showed that stems and roots have the highest content of fructose in comparison to other sugar moieties. The soxhlet method showed the highest percentage extractive yield in the stems as well as roots. Results revealed that the MES showed higher antioxidant potential as compared to the MER. A correlation has also found to exist between the results of TPC, TFC and antioxidant assays, since TPC and TFC are key constituents responsible for the antioxidant potential. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These results have been found to suggest the richness of MES in natural phenols, flavonoids and antioxidants. Further, study should be conducted over identification and characterization of compounds present in the extract.&lt;/p&gt;

It has been used as galactogogue and nerve tonic in folk medicine. The recent research on &lt;em&gt;A. racemosus&lt;/em&gt; has revealed its disease fighting properties such as anti-bacterial, immunomodulatory, cardio protective, anti-stress, etc. Phytochemicals present in the plants are associated with their therapeutic capabilities. Hence, phytochemical screening of a therapeutic plant is essential. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; A preliminary qualitative screening of phytoconstituents present in the ethanol and aqueous extract of the plant was done. high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) was used to create a phytochemical fingerprint of the plant extract. Further, a series of antioxidant assays, i.e., 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DDPH) radical, Nitric oxide (NO) radical, Superoxide (SO) radical and 2,2'-azinobis( 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assays were done.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The phytochemical screening and the HPTLC fingerprint showed the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, glycosides, triterpenoids, saponins etc. They also showed free radical scavenging property and hence can be used as potential primary antioxidant. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;A preliminary screening created a phytochemical profile of &lt;em&gt;A. racemosus &lt;/em&gt;extracts.

Studies have shown that leaves have a low antihyperglycemic effect. This study aims to improve the effect of leaves. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves underwent a fractionation (separation in cold alcohol) and an OGTT (Oral Glucose tolerance test) on healthy mice, a phytochemical screening and antioxidant tests (&lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;: DPPH and &lt;em&gt;ex vivo&lt;/em&gt;: AAPH) were performed on the extract and its fractions. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical screening of the extract showed the presence of phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins as well as the absence of condensed tannins, alkaloids, saponosides and anthracene derivatives. The extract also showed antioxidant activity. The supernatant fraction showed antihyperglycemic activity at 100 mg / kg in the 30th and 60th after glucose administration. Phytochemical screening of the supernatant revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids and condensed tannins. The supernatant also showed more pronounced antioxidant activity than the total extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; In view of these results, the most active fraction obtained by the separation technique in cold alcohol is the supernatant.&lt;/p&gt;

This study sought to prepare a physically stable phytosomal nanoparticles of curcuminoids (Curs-Phyto) to facilitate uptake of curcuminoids on breast cancer cells line, and further increase the cytotoxicity against cancer cells. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The evaporation combined extrusion technique was employed to prepare phytosomal curcuminoids nanoparticles. The interaction between curcuminoids and phospholipid by a hydrogen bond was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;H nuclear magnetic resonance (&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;H-NMR). Their physicochemical characterizations and stability in simulated gastric and intestinal media were investigated. The effects of Curs-Phyto on MCF-7 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry, MTS assay and cell cycle analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; We found that the Curs-Phyto were formed at a spherical shape with good size (~ 180 nm), a narrow size distribution (PDI &amp;lt; d0.2), high complexation rate (~ 87%, 95%, and 90% for BDMC, DMC, and CUR respectively) and high loading capacity of curcuminoids. More importantly, the Curs-Phyto showed the increased cellular uptake and enhanced cytotoxicity against MCF- 7 cancer cells, compared to free curcuminoids. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These results indicated that the phytosome could be a promising oral delivery system for curcuminoids for cancer treatment.&lt;/p&gt;

Individual seed and the mixture was evaluated by &lt;em&gt;In- vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;In-vivo&lt;/em&gt; methods for Nutraceutical Potential. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Proximate analysis of the mixture showed rich nutrient content and provided good combination of nutrients. Individual seed powder as well as mixture was tested for prebiotic potential using lactobacilli culture, which showed positive results. Each seed powder as well as mixture was tested for antioxidant potential using DPPH free radical scavenging assay, with promising results. It’s &lt;em&gt;in- vivo&lt;/em&gt; effect was studied using Wistar albino rat as animal model. This study involved haemogram and lipid profile determination which showed certain promising results. The powder mixture was developed into two products namely capsule and health drink powder formula.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The nutraceutical powder mixture of seeds of Cucumis melo, &lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Linum usitatissimum&lt;/em&gt; could be a promising product with antioxidant, prebiotic and nutraceutical potential for diabetic and cardiac patients where oxidative stress is a major underlying cause.&lt;/p&gt;

The present study standardization of Triphala Churna majorly focused on that area under WHO guidelines. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; This polyherbal Churna used treat the constipation and other gastric disorders. In this study a prepared Thriphala Churna was comparatively standardized with the reference obtained from market. For the standardization of the above formulations were done by evaluating the macroscopical, microscopical, powder flow properties, extractive values, Physicochemical characters, heavy metal content detection, qualitavte and quantitive determination of tannins and alkaloids, TLC finger print,&lt;em&gt; in-vitro a&lt;/em&gt;nti-oxidant activity and cytotoxic activity to assess the quality and safety and therapeutic activity of formulation. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The above parameters for the both formulation complies with the strands. The flow properties are poor. From the preliminary phytochemical test revealed the presence of various bioactive constituents. Majorly the concentration of tannins and flavonoids are high in water extract and also the water extract having the good anti-oxidant and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; cytotoxic activity. Hence the Triphala extracts may be used for various Ayurvedic preparations to chronic diseases like cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

Herbal medicine considered to be the oldest form of healing and treating different diseases. Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, attitude of HMPs use and awareness among pharmaceutical practitioner in Jordan. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire on a sample of 230 Jordanian pharmacy practitioner (pharmacist and pharmacy assistant), within 90 different private pharmacies in different cities of Jordan during the period of 6 months in the mid of 2018. The survey questionnaire included: the socio-demographic characteristics of participants, the source of information of the use of the HMPs, the attitude towards the use and safety of the HMPs and their combination with conventional drugs. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Out of 230 pharmacy practitioners interviewed in this study, the utilization rate of the HMPs use was just 41.7%. A large number of practitioners (58.3%) preferred conventional medicine because they believed that conventional medicine had better efficacy and better feedback than herbal products. A significant difference between pharmacist participants knowledge and work experience for more than 7 years (p-value=0.002). Majority of the participants (88.9%) reported that they had a narrow background about the safety of these products and hadn’t satisfied information regarding herb-drug interaction. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study counteracts other studies reported in Jordan, the usage of herbal medicine products among pharmacy practitioners isn’t prevalent and isn’t disseminated. They had fair information’s about the usage of the herbal products especially between the pharmacist, but they were less awareness about side effects and interactions of these products. It is crucial to refresh pharmacy practitioner knowledge periodically and enhance their information by arranging different programs focused on the rational use of these products, side effects and interactions by Jordanian pharmacist association, which had a potential role in this field. In addition, they must use reliable sources for information on herbal products in order to provide desired pharmaceutical care&lt;/p&gt;

Group ND was given only normal diet, group NDEL was given normal diet and EL extracts (15 mg/ kg) dissolved in distilled water, group HFD was given only high-fat-diet and group HFDEL was given high-fat-diet and EL extracts (15 mg/kg). EL was administered orally for 12 weeks. The animal’s testosterone level was measured at week 0, 6 and 12. The rats were sacrificed at the end of 12&lt;sup&gt;th &lt;/sup&gt;weeks and the testes samples were processed for histological examination&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The testosterone level was significantly increased (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) in the in the treated rats with EL (NDEL and HFDEL) compared with ND and HFD groups. Treatment with HFD revealed a marked degeneration of the seminiferous tubule epithelium and disruption of interstitial cells of the testis thereby interfering with spermatogenesis. Treatment of HFD rats with El reduced the adverse effects of HFD and improved the morphological structure of the seminiferous tubules. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings revealed that EL has ameliorative effects against the testicular damage caused by high-fat-diet.&lt;/p&gt;

Aims: This study evaluated the hypoglycaemic and antioxidant activity of its aqueous stem bark extract (PSAE) over a 15-day experimental period in streptozotocin (STZ)-challenged diabetic rats.&lt;strong&gt; Methods and Materia&lt;/strong&gt;l: STZ-induced diabetic rats were administered 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of the extract once daily and the blood glucose levels were monitored for 15 days. The bioactive constituents of PSAE were analyzed using Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Treatment with PSAE markedly (&lt;em&gt;p&amp;lt;&lt;/em&gt; 0.05) ameliorated the concentrations of blood glucose and improved the lipid metabolism imbalance in the diabetic animals. Also, while PSAE significantly (&lt;em&gt;p&amp;lt;&lt;/em&gt;0.05) improved glycogen and glutathione (reduced) levels as well as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities, the concentrations of glucose and malondialdehyde coupled with the activity of α-amylase were significantly reduced in the liver of PSAE-administered diabetic animals when compared with those of the normal control and untreated diabetic groups. The observed improvements could be associated with the phytoconstituents of PSAE as evident from the results of the GC-MS analysis. Put together, the elicited effects compared favorably well with metformin (a standard hypoglycemic drug) and are suggestive of antidiabetic and antioxidant capabilities of the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: The scope of the data presented in this study indicates that the extract ameliorated streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats and it is suggested to be mediated via antioxidant and concerted blood glucose lowering actions.&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;

Blood samples collected at predetermined time intervals from experimental animals were used for the estimation of glucose and insulin levels by using automated clinical chemistry analyzer and radioimmunoassay method, respectively. &amp;beta;-cell function was determined by homeostasis model assessment. Additionally, serum gliclazide levels in rabbits were analyzed by highperformance liquid chromatography. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Gliclazide showed significant reduction in blood glucose levels in diabetic rats and rabbits. Similarly, piperine also showed significant reduction in blood glucose levels in animals. Additionally, , samples analyzed from all time points in combination with piperine showed peak reduction in blood glucose in diabetic rats and rabbits. The pharmacokinetics of gliclazide was also altered by single- or multiple-dose piperine treatments in rabbits. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The interaction of piperine with gliclazide upon single and multiple-dose treatment was pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic in nature, indicating the need for periodic monitoring of glucose levels and dose adjustment as necessary when this combination is prescribed to diabetic patients.&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%">221</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Umachandar Lagisetty&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Habibuddin Mohammed&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Sivakumar Ramaiah&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

These factors are important contributors to the development of clinically significant diabetic retinopathy. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; Objective of this study to examine the effect of curcumin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties obtained from &lt;em&gt;Curcuma longa&lt;/em&gt; against diabetes-induced retinal vascular damage and its mechanism of action by &lt;em&gt;in-vivo&lt;/em&gt; in retinas of rat rendered diabetic by alloxan and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; in western blotting and RGC tissue culture. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; We administered curcumin or saline vehicle to experimental animals daily for 12 weeks. Vascular permeability, expression of CaMK II/NF-kB, Retinal morphology and neuropathic change of the retinal ganglion cells were investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; As an anti-oxidant, curcumin raised Retinal Ganglionic cells by increasing Brn3a expression during oxidative stress condition and subsequently decreased the expression of inflammatory mediators such as VEGF, iNOS and ICAM-1 as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting CaMKII and NF-kB expression. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Curcumin, a common food additive has beneficial effects in experimental studies of diseases that are characterised by increased oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions. It appears to be a useful adjunct therapy to possibly inhibit the progression of retinopathy, sight threatening complication faced by diabetic patients.&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%">324</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debasish Pradhan&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Toffa Dasmohapatra&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Gitanjali Tripathy&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Solms. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Antibacterial assay was done by agar well diffusion method. Pharmacognostic studies like morpho-anatomical and physicochemical analyses were carried out for organoleptic, microscopic and macroscopic evaluations of living aerial parts, and powder microscopy, fluorescence, proximate and elemental analysis of the dried powder sample. Elements and heavy metals contents were determined by carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur / oxygen (CHNS/O) analyzer and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;M. hastata &lt;/em&gt;(L.) Solms aerial parts showed antibacterial activity against gastrointestinal and topical pathogens. It exhibited an amphistomatic and hydromorphic anatomical characters. The distinguishing features were the presence of stomata in upper and lower epidermis, broad air chambers, cuticle, collateral vascular bundles, sclereidal fibres, pitted tracheids, pitted vessels, calcium oxalate crystals and annular vessels in leaf. The powder sample contained very less amount of acid insoluble ash than water soluble ash and complete absence of foreign organic matter. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur (CHNS) ratio was 33:6:5:1 and lead content was lesser than the recommended upper limit though the arsenic content was higher than the permissible upper limit. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Though the plant has traditionally been used as a potent Ethnomedicinal herb to cure boils, gastritis, hepatopathy and as laxative, but no such evaluation of pharmacognostic identity and quality parameters have been done so far. This is the first report on its pharmacognostic characters and quality control issues like heavy metal accumulation and physicochemical parameters for future use as powder drug.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">533</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Debabrata Misra&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Manab Mandal&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Narendra Nath Ghosh&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Vivekananda Mandal&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Physicochemical parameters such as ash value, extractive value and weight loss on drying were also determined. The root powder was successively extracted with different solvents followed by preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macro- and micro-scopic studies revealed cork i.e. the layer of periderm present above the cortex along with lenticels. The periderm is many layered membranous with irregularly fissured crevices containing phellum and phellogen. Secondary phloem is comparatively massive without lignified tissues i.e. bast fibres and contains sieve tubes, phloem parenchyma, many enriched with starch grains. The secondary xylem lignified mingled with medullary rays, vessels, parenchyma and wood fibers. Preliminary phytochemical screening of different extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrate, protein, gum, steroid, tri-terpenoid, saponin, flavonoid and tannin in the root. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The findings of this study facilitate pharmacognostic standardization of the plant material and add clues in the preparation of herbal monographs for Phyto pharmacopeia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">973</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suman Acharyya&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Ranjan Padhy&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and Santosh Kumar Dash&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Natural products found to act as antiangiogenic agents that mediate the angiogenic switch between pro and anti angiogenic factors. Among the different targets, HIF is an important and critical factor that stands as a key mediator between angiogenesis, inflammation and cancer. In our study different phytochemicals of Brassicaceae were analysed for their drug like properties and mapped for pharmacophore development. The developed pharmacophore was virtually screened and further subjected to Lipinski and ADMET filters. The molecular interaction studies of the 10 retrieved compounds were studied by binding with HIF. Among the compounds 1stdrug like molecule HTS 0115 (C&lt;sub&gt;15&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;21&lt;/sub&gt;BrN&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;) was found to have best docked score and its interaction was further validated using dynamics simulation. The compound found to share the pharmacophoric features with progoitrin a biochemical form of glucosinolate with reported anticancer and anti thyroid activities.

IBD was induced by administration of Indomethacin (7.5mg/kg b.w. S.c.), Acetic Acid (4% v/v). Two different models used to induce IBD named Indomethacin induces enter colitis and Acetic Acid induces enter colitis in case of Indomethacin induces enter colitis the compromises 5 groups (n=6), normal, control, standard treated (Prednisolone 2mg/kg p.o.), KEE treated (100 mg/kg b.w.), KEE treated (200 mg/kg b.w.) in case of Acetic Acid induces colitis the compromises 5 groups (n=6), normal, control, standard treated (Prednisolone 2mg/kg p.o.), KEE treated (100mg/kg b.w.), KEE treated(200mg/kg b.w.). After treatment of 7 days animals were sacrificed and colon was isolated for macroscopic and microscopic studies. Quantification of inflammation was done by using myeloperoxidase assay (MPO), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Lipid peroxidase (LPO). &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; Evaluation based on macroscopic features showed significantly lower score values for drug treated and standard drug treated groups compared to the disease control groups. Histological examination of disease control group showed massive necrosis of the mucosa and sub mucosa. Drug treated group showed mild lesions, regeneration and inflammatory reaction. The Prednisolone treated group showed suppressed inflammatory reaction. The results observed from MPO, LDH and LPO assays showed significant improvement of disease with extract treated groups compared to disease control group. Histopathological examination of Kariyat treated group revealed less damage compared to Indomethacin and Acetic Acid Induced group. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Kariyat have shown to be effective in Indomethacin and Acetic Acid induced colitis in rats, which has protected the animals against experimentally induced disease because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">602</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nilesh Balasaheb Chougule&lt;sup&gt;1, 2&lt;/sup&gt;, Sachin Annasaheb Nitve&lt;sup&gt;1,3&lt;/sup&gt;, Kailasam Koumaravelou&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Previous studies showed that black mulberry fruit has activity as antibacterial and antioxidant. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial effect of ethanol extract from stem bark, fruit, and leaves of &lt;em&gt;Morus nigra&lt;/em&gt;, MIC and morphological changes of the most active extract against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus epidermidis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Propionibacterium acnes&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Agar diffusion and microdilution assays were used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of the extract by measuring the zone of inhibition and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract against the test bacteria. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to evaluate the morphological changes induced by the extract in cellular membrane of the bacteria. Protein and ion leakage from the bacterial cells induced by the extract were also evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The antibacterial activity showed the most active extract was an ethanol extract of the stem bark against &lt;em&gt;S. epidermidis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. acnes&lt;/em&gt; with MIC value 4 mg/ml and 2 mg/ml, respectively. The extract also induced protein and ion leakage in test bacterial cells. SEM findings revealed that the extract induced potential cellular membrane damage in 4xMIC.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The antibacterial activity was related to the damaged of bacterial cell wall.&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%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">167</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diah Lia Aulifa*&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Sani Nurlaela Fitriansyah&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Seno Aulia Ardiansyah&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Diki Prayugo Wibowo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Yolanda Armiliani Julata&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Desty Santi Christy&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

However, seed shell of &lt;em&gt;Archidendron bubalinum&lt;/em&gt; has not yet to be scientifically proven and confirmed their ability to treat diabetes. The study of the potential of this seed shell was also scarcely available. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The recent work was aimed to investigate the phytochemical screening of methanol extracts of seed shells of &lt;em&gt;Archidendron bubalinum&lt;/em&gt; and to evaluate their chemical compositions and antidiabetic activities. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The methods of phytochemical screening were including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, saponins, and terpenoids. Their chemical compositions were determined by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and antidiabetic activities were performed by &amp;alpha;-glucosidase inhibitory method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The phytochemical screening showed that methanol extracts of seed shells of &lt;em&gt;Archidendron bubalinum&lt;/em&gt; contain flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, and terpenoids. This extracts exhibited antidiabetic activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 7.77 &amp;mu;g/mL. This result was supported by LC-MS analysis which showed the presence of phlorizin and astilbin, in which these compounds had high inhibitory activity against &amp;alpha;-glucosidase or diabetes.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; LC-MS analysis revealed the presence of polyphenol compounds namely phlorizin and astilbin in which had high &amp;alpha;-glucosidase inhibitory activity, might largely contribute in the antidiabetic activity.

Rotunda&lt;/em&gt; (5kg) was extracted exhaustively with ethanol. The ethanol extract was partitioned three times by n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate respectively. Each fraction was fractionated by vacuum liquid chromatography (VLC) and then purified by column chromatography gravitation. Structural identification of all pure compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, and NMR).The antioxidant activity was tested by 2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Antimicrobial character was screened for activities againts pathogenic bacteria i.e. &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; ATCC-11229, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-25923, Staphylococcus epidermidis FNCC-0048, and Streptococcus mutans by the disk-diffusion method. The assay was done in triplicate, and chloramphenicol was used as the positive control. Results and &lt;strong&gt;Discussion:&lt;/strong&gt; From ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;B. rotunda&lt;/em&gt; three known compounds of flavanones, namely 2&amp;rsquo;,4&amp;rsquo;-dihydroxy-6-methoxychalcone (compound-1), 5-hydroxy-7- methoxyflavanone (compound-2), and 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (compound-3) were isolated. The ethanol extract of &lt;em&gt;B. rotunda&lt;/em&gt; and the three isolated compounds -1,-2, and -3 showed an antioxidant activity with the IC value of 92.64; 46.66; 62.84, and 62.66 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively. The zone of inhibition of extract and the three isolated compounds showed moderate activity against &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; ATCC-11229, &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; ATCC-25923, &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus epidermidis&lt;/em&gt; FNCC-0048, and &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans&lt;/em&gt;.The maximum zone of inhibition was 13.20&amp;plusmn;0.76 mm at the maximum concentration used (500 &amp;mu;g/mL) against &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; ATCC-11229, and the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) for each bacteria was found to be 0.5&amp;mu;g/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The result of the study suggests that &lt;em&gt;B. rotunda&lt;/em&gt; rhizome contains potential bioactive compounds which could be suitable for antioxidant and the treatment of various infections caused by &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; ATCC-11229, &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; ATCC- 25923, &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus epidermidis&lt;/em&gt; FNCC-0048, and &lt;em&gt;Streptococcus mutans&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">513</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sri Atun&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Sri Handayani&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Anna Rakhmawati&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

According to the treatment benefits of levodopa on Parkinson, long-term levodopa administration causes some complications called levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) with poorly understood pathogenesis. Literature shows that polyphenol rich compound like pomegranate protect neurons of animals that are Parkinson induced, with some controversy. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives:&lt;/strong&gt; In this study, the potential effects of pomegranate in attenuating LID in parkinsonian mice induced with 4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were investigated. &lt;strong&gt;Materials:&lt;/strong&gt; Mouse model of PD was induced by MPTP. To induce LID, valid PD mice were treated with levodopa (50 mg/kg, i.p) for 21 days. Then the effects of chronic co-administration of pomegranate juice (20 ml/kg) orally, with levodopa and continuing for another 20 days, evaluated. Behavioural tests were performed in all groups, every other day including: Abnormal involuntary movements (AIMs), cylinder and catatonia tests. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Levodopa in chronic administration induced dyskinesia that observed in AIMs and cylinder tests for 3 weeks when compared to untreated animals (P&amp;lt;0.05 or 0.01) depending the time course). Besides, catatonia was recorded after two weeks and mounted time-dependently compared to control (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01). Chronic pomegranate co-administration improved AIMs scores for next 20 days (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01, in following days, compared to no-pomegranate treated group), attenuated cylinder scores and catatonia rates dramatically and time dependently (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.01). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Chronic pomegranate co-administration improved movements in all test results. It is then, concluded that pomegranate can be a good adjunct for attenuating LID and catatonia in mice.&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%">700</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sarah Rezaee&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Mahsa Hadipour Jahromy&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

HMGB1 physically interacts with toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) to release macrophage cytokines. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of systemic lidocaine administration to inhibit the expression of HMGB1 mRNA and TLR4 protein in mice BALB/c mice with sterile injury. &lt;strong&gt;Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Twenty adult male BALB/c mice were divided into lidocaine and control groups. A sterile injury is done by closed fracturing the left thigh bone of the mice. The lidocaine group was treated with 2 mg/kgBW lidocaine through tail vein injection after 4 h of sterile injury. The control group was given distilled water therapy as a substitute for lidocaine. Mice blood is extracted from the tail vein before trauma, 4 h after trauma, and 2 h after the administration of lidocaine and distilled water is complete. The HMGB1 mRNA expression was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) while the TLR4 protein level was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) according to the manufacturer&amp;rsquo;s instructions. &lt;strong&gt;Result:&lt;/strong&gt; The HMGB1 mRNA expression and TLR4 protein levels in BALB/c that sustained inflammation due to a sterile injury was significantly decreased in the lidocaine group (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.00). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Administration systemic 2 mg/kgBW of lidocaine is effectively inhibits HMGB1 mRNA and TLR4 protein in mice that sustain inflammation due to a sterile injury.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">586</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robert Hotman Sirait&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Mochammad Hatta&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Syafri K.Arief&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Tigor P.

At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected and used for the analysis of serum non-specific enzymes including serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TB), urea, creatinine and sugar, while the organ homogenates were subjected for the evaluation of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutothione S transferase (GST), nitric oxide (NO); lipid peroxidation (LPO) and it was further confirmed by histopathological study of different organs. &lt;strong&gt;Results and Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Curcumin, capsaicin and their combination had shown significant restoration of non-specific serum enzymes, antioxidant enzymes and attenuated inflammatory cells infiltration thereby preventing tissue/organ damage in LPS-challenged mice. However, the protective effect was found to be more when the two compounds were fed in combination. This beneficial potency of combined spice treatment is may be due to the contribution of diversified active moieties of curcumin and capsaicin in combination compared to individual molecules.&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%">75</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thriveni Vasanthkumar&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Manjunatha Hanumanthappa&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Prabhakar BT&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Experimental results reveal that 2, 4-D either alone or in combination with kinetin supplemented in MS medium showed significant initiation of callus from leaf explants than stem. Growth hormones, pH, light, and carbon source influence anthocyanin synthesis. Maximum callus induction was noticed with 2.5 mg/L N6-benzyladenine (BA) + 2 mg/L 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2, 4-D) (98.9%). Fresh and dry weight of the calli were i.e., 1.9 &amp;plusmn; 0.04 and 0.45 &amp;plusmn; 0. 03 g respectively. Optimal response was seen with light on MS medium contain 4% glucose + 2.5 mg/L BA and 2 mg/L 2, 4-D at pH 3.5 yielded 2.8 mg /g of anthocyanins. Suspension culture medium fortified with 2, 4-D (2.5 mg/L) + BA (2 mg/L) at pH 5.0 induced anthocyanin production at pH 4.4 &amp;ndash; 4.6. HCl-ethanol extraction for 90 min yielded the maximum anthocyanin content. Fractionation of anthocyanin using HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry revealed 07 fractions such as acylated cyanidins, two peonidins, cyanidin 3-p-coumaroyl and feruloyl diglucoside-5-glucosides. In the search of novel therapeutic drugs against cancer, cytotoxicity effect of &lt;em&gt;B.retusa&lt;/em&gt; anthocyanin extracts on human oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC4, SCC9 and SCC25) cells using cell adhesion and cell viability assay was carried. The morphological alterations in SCCs cells after treatment with &lt;em&gt;B.retusa&lt;/em&gt; anthocyanin includes nuclear condensation, fragmentation and apoptotic cells as revealed by Hoechst stain. Flow cytometry showed arresting of SCC25 cells mostly in the G0/G1 and S-G2/M stages with a concomitant up regulation of sub-G1 fraction, indicating cell death by apoptosis. Apoptosis was further substantiated by the activation of caspase-3 expression in the SCC25 cells treated with &lt;em&gt;B.retusa&lt;/em&gt; anthocyanin. Thus, it is possible to suggest that &lt;em&gt;B.retusa&lt;/em&gt; anthocyanin cause apoptosis of SCCs and warrant further investigation using animal models.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">559</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aswathy Jayasree Madanakumar&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Bosco Lawarence&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Manoj GS&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;,Murugan Kumaraswamy&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Unfortunately, the cytotoxicity properties of most chemotherapy drug are nonspecific and therefore do not distinguish between normal healthy cells and tumor cells, these events have led to inappropriate and toxic therapeutic agents with a wide range of side effects. However, several experimental and epidemiological studies have suggested that fruits and vegetables are associated with low risk of various types of cancer. Anthocyanins are natural pigments that provide intense purple to red color in plants. Anthocyanin possess the ability to inhibit oxidative stress and to induce apoptosis in malignant cells, thus may prevent carcinogenesis. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Antiproliferative properties of purified anthocyanin extract from elicited cell suspension cultures of &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; was investigated in terms of MTT assay. Anthocyanin extracts were tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of HT29 (colon cancer cells), MG63 (Osteosarcoma), HeLa (Cervical cancer cells) and L929 (Mouse Fibroblast L929) cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Cell viability decreased in a dose dependent manner in all the considered cell lines treated with anthocyanin extracts. The extract of &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against all tumor cell lines than &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; extract. &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; anthocyanin extract exhibited the highest cytotoxicity towards HT29 and HeLa cell lines respectively. But, MG63 resulted in comparatively higher percentage of viability of cell lines at the same concentrations. The anthocyanin extract produced significant morphological alterations on cell lines in culture. Meanwhile, the extracts showed poor cytotoxicity against the normal cell line. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The morphological alteration of the treated cancer cells presented clear evidence of significant cytotoxicity of anthocyanin extracts of both Begonias in all the three cell lines. Thus, anthocyanin may act as chemopreventive agents for various cancer cell lines.&lt;/p&gt;

Previous research has revealed that &lt;em&gt;A. crassna&lt;/em&gt; leaves contain mangiferin as an active compound. Although the active component has been investigated, the pharmacognostic specification and quantification of mangiferin from &lt;em&gt;A. crassna&lt;/em&gt; leaves have never been established. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The current study aimed to conduct and develop a pharmacognostic standard according to WHO guidance as well as the validated method for quantifying mangiferin content. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Dried &lt;em&gt;A. crassna&lt;/em&gt; leaves from 15 separated locations throughout Thailand were investigated for pharmacognostic specification. Their mangiferin contents were quantitatively analysed by TLC densitometry with win CATS software. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopic-, microscopic- characteristics and TLC fingerprinting combined with physicochemical parameters were reported in this study. The loss on drying, moisture content, and total ash content as well as acid-insoluble ash content were determined to be 8.62 &amp;plusmn; 0.13, 8.16 &amp;plusmn; 0.14, 6.82 &amp;plusmn; 0.09 and 1.49 &amp;plusmn; 0.03%, respectively. Ethanol- and waterextractive values were found to be 9.05 &amp;plusmn; 0.39 and 16.94 &amp;plusmn; 0.22 %, respectively. In addition, the validation method for quantifying the mangiferin content was developed. The contents of mangiferin in A.&lt;em&gt; crassna&lt;/em&gt; leaf extract determined by TLC-densitometry and TLC-image analysis were found to be 1.2992 &amp;plusmn; 0.5980 and 1.3036 &amp;plusmn; 0.5874 % by dried weight, respectively. The results between these two analytical methods were shown to have an insignificant difference. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study provides the necessary information for authentication and standardisation of &lt;em&gt;A. crassna &lt;/em&gt;leaves.&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%">293</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Worathat Thitikornpong&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Boonsri Ongpipattanakul&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Chanida Palanuvej&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Nijsiri Ruangrungsi&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1,3*&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Plant is found in India and in its tropical regions. Though the plant and its extracts have been indigenously valued as folklore medicine diversely in India, yet literature lacks somewhere in reverse pharmacognostical approach of this plant which reflects that plant have not been evidently explored therapeutically. There are several forms of &lt;em&gt;Plumeria rubra&lt;/em&gt; among which &lt;em&gt;P.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;rubra f. rubra&lt;/em&gt; is much appraised in India than its other forms. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; In Present study the anticipated potential of this plant has been validated by laying down its pharmacognostical standards along with measurement of its active therapeutic constituent Ursolic acid and Lupeol via. HPTLC, information from organized search of published literature remarks that Ursolic acid and lupeol is ubiquitous to this plant. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Microscopic features revealed the presence of paracytic type of stomata, crescent bicollateral vascular bundle, calcium oxalate crystal and clothing trichomes in leaves whereas bark showed the presence of distinct periderm with cork and phellogen, sclereids, bast tissue with parenchymatous cells. Methanolic extract of both parts of plant was subjected to HPTLC. In HPTLC studies the Ursolic acid content in leaves was found to be 0.96% whereas in bark was detected as 0.051%, lupeol content in leaves and stem was found to be 0.014% and 0.018%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The data generated could be significantly used as reference for the standardization and quality control of&lt;em&gt; Plumeria. rubra f. rubra&lt;/em&gt;, as no such work has been reported yet.&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%">135</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gunja Srivastava&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Abhishek Gupta&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Manjul Pratap Singh&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Anurag Mishra&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out. Based on acute toxicity studies nephroprotective effect of the extract was screened at 200 and 400 mg/kg, b. w. in curative and prophylactic regimen. Nephrotoxicity was induced in male Wistar rats by administration of Cisplatin (5mg/kg, b.w. i.p. as a single dose). Nephroprotective activity was assessed by estimating serum markers and urinary functional parameters supported by anti-oxidant studies and histopathological aspects. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Microscopic studies showed that the seed coat had outer aerenchymatous tissue, inner parenchymatous tissue and innermost compact lines of sclereids. Physicochemical evaluation yielded alcohol and water soluble extractive values of 20.8 and 8.05%w/w. Total ash, acid insoluble and water soluble ash values were 7.15, 6.45 and 0.5 respectively. Fluorescence analysis imparted characteristic colours to the seed powder when observed under visible and UV light. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was indicated by increased levels of serum markers and urinary functional parameters which were reversed by the extract in dose dependent manner. The results were substantiated by anti-oxidant studies and histopathological studies. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Various pharmacognostic parameters evaluated assisted in identification and standardization of seeds of &lt;em&gt;Trichosanthes cucumerina&lt;/em&gt; in crude form. Present study revealed that hydroalcoholic extract attenuated the nephrotoxicity and provided the strengthened scientific evidence for the use of seeds of &lt;em&gt;Trichosanthes cucumerina&lt;/em&gt; in nephrotoxicity.&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%">176</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doppalapudi Prasanthi*, Sreedevi Adikay&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Seeds are used to heal wound also. In order to ensure the use of only genuine and uniform material in treatment of ailments by herbs and herbal formulations, pharmacognostical standardization and physiochemical parameters evaluation is needed. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Morphological and powder microscopic characters of seed powder were studied. The physiochemical parameters studied were LOD, total ash, acid insoluble, water soluble, sulphated ash, extractives, volatile oil content and crude fibre content etc. Further, florescence analysis and element analysis of seed powder was performed by undergoing chemical reaction +UV method and EDAX method respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Brown colored seeds with rough seed surface with seed size 0.1 cm were recorded. The pods were brown coloured when air dried. They were 4-5 cm long containing 8-12 small seeds. Powder microscopic study revealed the presence of fragment of epidermis of testa, groups of cells resembling like stone cells and irregularly shaped protein bodies were observed. Florescence Analysis revealed the presence of chromophores. EDAX analysis showed the presence of Mg, Al, Si, S, Cl, K, Ca and Cu etc in different amount. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacognostical and physiochemical parameters were established which would facilitate quick identification and selection of the herbal drugs from various adulterants.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">372</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harpreet Singh&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Amrita Mishra&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Arun Kumar Mishra&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As per Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia of India and World Health Organization guidelines on quality control methods for medicinal plants materials suggested parameters were determined for standardization of &lt;em&gt;E. neriifolia&lt;/em&gt; leaves. Physico-chemical, primary phytochemical, fluorescence and quantitative screenings along with primary HPTLC fingerprinting assessment were performed. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopic examination demonstrated that fresh leaf of &lt;em&gt;E. neriifolia&lt;/em&gt; has dark green in colour, herbaceous odour with characteristic taste. Dried leafs are grey brownish in colour, characteristic odour with broken crumpled and papery fracture. Microscopy of leaf showed the single layered thick rectangular or tubular adaxial epidermal cells. Mesophyll tissue was differentiated into two or three layered adaxial zones of radially elongated palisade cells and wider abaxial spongy mesophyll cells revealed the differentiated dorsiventral lamina. Mid-rib composed of epidermis, collenchymas and spongy parenchyma cells. Physico-chemical parameters like, foreign matter was found to be 0.46%. Total ash, acid insoluble ash and water soluble ash was found 6.33%, 1.23% and 6% respectively. Loss on drying was found to be 4.69%. Swelling and foaming index was found 11.7 ml and 333 ml respectively. Quantitative screening suggested that the leaf powder has indicated alkaloid and saponin estimation as 0.26% and 3.67% respectively. The HPTLC fingerprinting of EN6 extract fraction was showed the Rf values at 254 nm with their respective UV-visible spectrum wavelengths scanned in between 200-400 nm. They are 0.01 (265 nm), 0.05 (369 nm), 0.09 (263 nm, 264 nm), 0.18 (400 nm), 0.20 (279 nm), 0.31 (400 nm), 0.44 (378 nm), 0.45 (382 nm), 0.54 (377 nm), 0.55 (383 nm), 0.62 (400 nm), etc. at different concentrations of sample application. The HPTLC plate was also scanned at 366 nm and 540 nm. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present investigation is an additional standardization research in support with previous reports and will be helpful for qualitative and quantitative standardization of herbal formulations containing &lt;em&gt;E. neriifolia&lt;/em&gt;. Further investigations are going on this extract fraction in reference to identification, quantification and validation of HPTLC methods using various standard marker compounds along with exploration of its pharmacological activities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">696</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prashant Y.

Whole plant of &lt;em&gt;Alphonsea sclerocarpa&lt;/em&gt; is traditionally believed for its eminent therapeutic benefits. Despite its medicinal properties the plant seems to be less explored and hence this research aims at exploring the Pharmacognostical parameters for standardization. Physicochemical and Phytochemical analysis was also carried out to establish quality control parameters for the drug. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Morphoanatomical (Transverse Section of Leaf Lamina &amp;amp; Margin, Radial Longitudinal Section &amp;amp; Tangential Longitudinal Section of phloem in bark) and Powder microscopic analysis were carried out by employing Formalin fixed as well Macerated specimens. Physicochemical Parameters like Loss on drying, Ash Value, Extractive values etc were carried out as per WHO guidelines. Phytochemical Analysis was also carried out and the phytochemical profile was established. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Transverse section of Leaf revealed the presence of Plano convex vascular bundles. Ensheathed by a bundle of sclerenchyma. Transverse section of bark has shown the presence of highly compressed, heavily suberised phellem cells. Tangential longitudinal section (TLS) revealed the presence of Spindle shaped bi or Multi seriate medullary rays. In Radial longitudinal section (RLS) the phloem cells appear rectangular and thin walled. Powder microscopy revealed the presence of Fibres, fibre-tracheids and Calcium oxalate crystals. Total ash value of Bark &amp;amp; Leaf was found to be 8.75 &amp;amp; 7 % respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The established Pharmacognostical, Physico-chemical &amp;amp; Phytochemical parameters will suffice for establishing Monographs for the plant drug.&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%">196</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Venkata Naga Anantha Sandhya Rani Nandyala&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;* &amp;amp; Kothapalli Bonnoth Chandrasekhar&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The antioxidant activity was evaluated using &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; DPPH assay. Total extract, methanol and EtOAc fractions were evaluated for their antiinflammatory activity using RAW 264.7 macrophages assay. Antidiabetic activity of the total extract was examined biochemically and histopathologically using streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; A new flavone, chrysoeriol 7-&lt;em&gt;O&lt;/em&gt;-&amp;beta;-(6‴-&lt;em&gt;O-acetyl&lt;/em&gt;-&amp;beta;-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1&amp;rarr;4) glucopyranoside (1), along with seven knowns (2-8) were isolated from &lt;em&gt;Cyperus laevigatus&lt;/em&gt; L. The structures of isolated compounds were established depending upon 1D, 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The MeOH and EtOAc fractions exhibited significant antioxidant activity while the isolated flavonoids exhibited from moderate to weak antioxidant activity. The total extract, MeOH and EtOAc fractions exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity using LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages model by decreasing of NO accumulation by 76 &amp;ndash; 66% and 84 &amp;ndash; 67%, of the original accumulation values with increasing concentrations in comparison with the reference drug, dexamethasone. The total extract exhibited antidiabetic activity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and this effect was manifested by decreasing serum levels of glucose, glucagon and NO. It also increased level of insulin and promoted paraoxonase activity. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results proved that this plant may be multiple sources for medicinal natural drugs especially for anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">828</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abdelsamed Ibrahim Elshamy&lt;sup&gt;1,5*&lt;/sup&gt;, Mohamed El- Shazly&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Yomna Mahmoud Yassine&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Mona Anwar El- Bana&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Abdel-Razik Farrag&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;, Mahmoud Ibrahim Nassar&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Abdel Nasser Singab&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Masaaki Noji&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;, Akemi Umeyama&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Snail Lymnaeidae and Planorbidae is the intermediate host of these flukes. Snail population management is a good tool to control fasciolosis because gastropods represent the weakest link in the life-cycle of trematode. Aim of the present study is to explore the molluscicidal activity of chlorophyllin in visible spectral band against &lt;em&gt;Fasciola gigantica carrier snail Indoplanorbis exustus&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Chlorophyll was transformed into water-soluble chlorophyllin in 100% ethanol by using different types of chemicals. Ten snails &lt;em&gt;Indoplanorbis exustus&lt;/em&gt; were placed in a glass aquarium containing 3 L of dechlorinated tap water. These snails were treated with different concentrations of chlorophyllin in sunlight as well as exposed to different visible spectral band of light. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Pure chlorophyllin (96 h LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 6.54 mg/l) in sunlight was more toxic than extracted chlorophyllin (96 h LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 939.65 mg/l). There was a significant variation in the toxicity of chlorophyllin with snails, exposed to visible spectral band of light. The highest and lowest toxicity of chlorophyllin against &lt;em&gt;I. exustus&lt;/em&gt; was noted in yellow light (96 h LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 2016.79 mg/l) and green light (96 h LC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 2433.16 mg/l). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) study reveals that the active molluscicidal component extracted in spinach leaves is chlorophyllin. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Due to the photodynamic nature of chlorophyllin, it has the potential to control the population of vector snails and ultimately fasciolosis in developing countries.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">729</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Divya Chaturvedi, Dinesh Kumar Singh,&amp;nbsp;Vinay Kumar Singh&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Even though global herbal resources have a great potential as natural drugs and are of great commercial importance, they are very often procured and processed without any scientific evaluation, and launched onto the market without any mandatory safety and toxicology studies. On that basis, an attempt was made on a well-known herbal drug A.&lt;em&gt;nilotica&lt;/em&gt; flower and A.&lt;em&gt;leucophloea &lt;/em&gt;flower by evaluation of phytochemical and toxicological parameters like heavy metals, aflatoxins, total microbial load and pesticide residues. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; The procedures recommended in AOAC, ASTA were followed to determine analysis of heavy metals, aflatoxins, microbial load and pesticide residues. Thin layer chromatographic technique was used to separate the chemical compounds present in the drug.&lt;strong&gt; Result and Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Results obtained during this experiment revealed that heavy metals, aflatoxins, total microbial load and pesticidal residues were variable but found within the prescribed limits. Phytochemical evaluation revealed that the catechin phytoconstituents is absent in A.&lt;em&gt;leucophloea&lt;/em&gt; flowers when compared with A.&lt;em&gt;nilotica&lt;/em&gt; flowers. Hence, there is an urgent need for mandatory evaluation of these parameters in every crude drug before further processing to ensure safety and efficacy of Indian medicinal plants for better acceptance at International platform. The study revealed specific identities for the particular crude drug which will be useful in identification and control to adulterations of the raw drug.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">721</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Raju Ilavarasan, Leela Vadivelu&lt;sup&gt;* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Flavonoid is a phenolic compound which is widely distributed in the plants and responsible for many biological activities. Preliminary phytochemical analysis gives a broad idea to the researchers for their further research. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In this present study, we did a preliminary phytochemical screening, quantitative estimation of total flavonoids and fingerprinting profile of flavonoids compounds using five different solvent extracts obtained from leaves of &lt;em&gt;L. aspera.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Preliminary phytochemical screening confirmed the presence of flavonoid compounds in &lt;em&gt;L. aspera&lt;/em&gt;. Higher concentration of total flavonoid compounds was noted in ethanol extract compared to petroleum ether, chloroform, isopropyl alcohol and ethyl acetate extracts. A densitometric high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) study showed more number of flavonoid compounds are present in ethanol extract compared to other solvents. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Results of this study revealed, &lt;em&gt;L. aspera&lt;/em&gt; leaf is a rich source of flavonoid content and it can be used to alleviate many chronic illness and various diseases. This study results warrants for further isolation, identification and characterization of active principle which is responsible for the biological activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">942</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vellaichamy Muthupandi Annapandian&lt;sup&gt;1,2*&lt;/sup&gt;, Rajagopal Shanmuga Sundaram&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Swaminathan Gomathi&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The antioxidant values (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; (&lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;g/ml)) ranged from 1.56 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt; to 21.07 x10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;.Total phenol content ranged between 2.54 and 17.53 mg/g GAE with a mean of about 11.27 mg/g GAE. Total flavonoid content also ranged from 5.46 to 23.75 mg/g RUE with a mean of 13.41 mg/g RUE. Micronutrients such as cadmium, iron, lead, manganese and zinc were determined. Also macronutrients determined included, calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium. Sodium ranged the highest with values ranging 6966.67 mg/L to 9600.00 mg/L followed by iron ranging from 1613.67 to 3040.00 mg/L. Percentage crude protein ranged between 11.09 % and 28.24 %. Alkaloid was present in only &lt;em&gt;Mycena&lt;/em&gt; sp and &lt;em&gt;Ganoderma&lt;/em&gt; sp with a band each of R&lt;sub&gt;f&lt;/sub&gt; value of 0.49. A total of 18 different bands were recorded for flavonoid with R&lt;sub&gt;f&lt;/sub&gt; values that ranged between 0.20 and 0.97, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The antioxidant potential of the methanolic extracts of the mushroom samples in this study recorded higher values. This indicates that mushrooms have high antioxidant properties and rationalizes further investigation in the potential discovery of new natural bioactive principles from these mushrooms.&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%">s16</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ebenezer Owusu&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Gladys Schwinger&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Matilda Dzomeku&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Mary Obodai&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and Isaac Asante&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Ex Wight (Annonaceae) &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Organoleptic characters, microscopic evaluation, leaf constants, quantitative physico-chemical evaluations (Ash value, extractive value, moisture content), preliminary phytochemical screening, quantitative estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid content in alcoholic and aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Uvaria narum &lt;/em&gt;and HPTLC fingerprinting profile were studies on leaves of &lt;em&gt;Uvaria narum&lt;/em&gt; by employing standard methods of analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Leaf is dorsiventral, having distinct upper and lower surface. Stomata are of paracytic type and present only on lower epidermis. Upper epidermal cells are polygonal with cuticle and contain simple starch grains. A single layer of palisade cells is present below upper epidermis. Leaf do not bears any trichomes. Mid rib region shows collenchymatous cells on both surfaces. Xylem bundles are arranged in an arc. The space between collenchymas and vascular bundle is occupied by parenchymatous cells, some of which are filled with calcium oxalate crystals of prism as well as of rosette type (30-40 m in diameter). HPTLC fingerprint study of alcoholic and aqueous extracts confirmed the presence of quercitin as biomarker polyphenolic compound. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These findings will be useful in establishing pharmacognostic and phytochemical standards for correct identification, as well as assessment of purity, quality of this plant, which definitely gaining the relevance in plant drug research and establishment of plant monograph.&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%">528</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kalpana Sabanna Patil* and Raju Ratan Wadekar &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The standardization of crude drug is a crucial part of establishing its correct identity. Prior to any crude drug can be included in an herbal pharmacopeia, pharmacognostic and physicochemical param&amp;shy;eters and standards to be established. &lt;em&gt;Aralia racemosa &lt;/em&gt;L. perennial herb belongs to family Araliaceae. It is commonly known as American Spike&amp;shy;nard. It is traditionally used in the treatment of Rheumatism, Whooping cough, skin diseases, pleurisy, diaphoretic, diuretic, pulmonary diseases, asthma, rheumatism, diarrhea, stimulant, expectorant, syphilis, Inflamma&amp;shy;tion and Hay fever. In the view of lack of pharmacognostic study of leaf of &lt;em&gt;Aralia racemosa &lt;/em&gt;L. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The macroscopical, microscopical and physicochemical parameters were assessed according to WHO Quality Control Methods for herbal materials. The leaves of &lt;em&gt;Aralia racemosa&lt;/em&gt;. L was subjected for successive solvent extraction and preliminary phytochemical screening was carried out, along with florescence analysis of leaf Pow&amp;shy;der with different reagents were evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Macroscopy of the leaves showed oval to rounded shape with tooted margin, cordate base and pointed tip. Microscopic studies revealed the presence of anisocytic stomata, bicolateral vascular bundles, lignified fibers, spiral vessels and rosette shaped calcium oxalate crystals. Physicochemical parameters such as moisture content, extractive values, ash content and fluorescent behav&amp;shy;ior of leaf powder were also determined. Preliminary Phytochemical analy&amp;shy;sis revealed the presence of various phytochemical constituents viz., glyco&amp;shy;sides, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results of current study could be served as a diagnostic tool for the standardization of this medicinal plant and will helpful in characterization of the crude drug.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Several researches with extract of leaflets show a diversity of promising pharmacological activities such as antibacterial activity, antiviral against dengue virus type 2, anti diabetic, among others. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This paper aims to study the anatomical characteristics, phytochemical and histochemical from leaves of this species. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Cross and paradermic sections from leaves were submitted to double staining with astra blue and safranin process for the anatomical study. Anatomical analysis of the structures was performed using an optical microscope. For ultra structure analysis, the leaf fragments, after processing and gold coating, were observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phytochemical analyses were performed using thin layer chromatography and the histochemical analyses using specific reagents for each metabolite group. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The leaf has anomocytic and tetracytic stomata distributed on abaxial surface. The midrib has convex symmetry with collateral vascular bundles in a closed arc disposition. The phytochemical showed the presence of mono and sesquiterpenes, triterpenes and steroids, hydrolysable tannins, phenylpropanoid glycosides, cinnamic derivatives and flavonoids. The histochemical tests allow us to state that phenolic compounds are found in the palisade parenchyma cells. Lignins can be found in woody vascular bundles and in perivascular sclerenchyma fibres. The volatile oils were evidenced in the schizogenous cavity, present in the parenchyma of the midrib. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results allowed characterizing anatomically the leaves of this species, outlining a profile of its phytochemical constituents and, in addition, determining which anatomical structures of storage of these metabolites by the plant.&lt;/p&gt;

Tasmannia lanceolata &lt;/em&gt;(Tasmanian pepper berry) has a high anti-oxidant capacity and has documented therapeutic properties for a variety of pathogenic diseases. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Solvent extracts of &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata &lt;/em&gt;berry and leaf were investigated for the ability to block &lt;em&gt;G. duodenalis&lt;/em&gt; growth. The IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of the extracts which displayed inhibitory activity were determined to quantify and compare their efficacies. Toxicity was determined using the &lt;em&gt;Artemia franciscana&lt;/em&gt; nauplii bioassay. Active extracts were analysed by non-targeted HPLC-QTOF mass spectroscopy (with screening against 3 compound databases) for the identification and characterisation of individual components in crude plant extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Methanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata &lt;/em&gt;berry and leaf extracts displayed potent &lt;em&gt;G. duodenalis&lt;/em&gt; growth inhibitory activity. The methanolic extracts were the most potent growth inhibitors with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of approximately 180 &amp;micro;g/ml and 420 &amp;micro;g/ml for the berry and leaf methanolic extracts respectively. The aqueous, ethyl acetate, chloroform and hexane extracts also inhibited &lt;em&gt;G. duodenalis&lt;/em&gt; growth, albeit with lower potency. HPLC-QTOF mass spectroscopy analysis of the extracts identified 45 compounds which were present in all &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata &lt;/em&gt;berry extracts. Forty of these were putatively identified by screening against 3 compound databases. All &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata&lt;/em&gt; berry and leafextracts were nontoxic in the &lt;em&gt;Artemia fransiscana&lt;/em&gt; bioassay. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The low toxicity of the &lt;em&gt;T. lanceolata&lt;/em&gt; extracts and their potent &lt;em&gt;G. duodenalis&lt;/em&gt; growth inhibitory bioactivity indicates their potential as medicinal agents in the treatment and prevention of this disease.&lt;/p&gt;

Beauv.) Bignoniaceae &lt;/em&gt;extract&amp;nbsp;(SCE) is one of many herbal medicines&amp;nbsp;used widely in Ugandan traditional&amp;nbsp;medicine for various ailments. Generally most of these herbal&amp;nbsp;medicines&amp;nbsp;are yet to be standardized or have their phytochemical content characterized.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;This study identified the secondary metabolites in the stem bark&amp;nbsp;methanolic extract and quantified them. The same extract was subjected&amp;nbsp;to serial solvent fractionation, TLC characterization and antidiabetic testing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The secondary metabolites were found to comprise of 7.5% alkaloids,&amp;nbsp;10% flavonoids, 13% tannins and 17% saponins per gram of plant material.&amp;nbsp;The TLC characteristics of the fractions (hexane (HX), ethylacetate (EA)&amp;nbsp;and methanol (ME)) viewed under UV light revealed spots with the following&amp;nbsp;Rf values; the hexane partition gave HX7EA3 (0.96 and 0.68) HX9EA1&amp;nbsp;(0.68 and 0.3), EA1ME9 (0.86 and 0.58), EA3ME7 (0.87), EA7ME3 (0.85)&amp;nbsp;and EA9ME1 (0.85). The ethylacetate partition gave the following HX1EA9 (0.53, 0.34 and 0.18), HX3EA7 (0.59, 0.40 and 0.26). &lt;strong&gt;Discussion: &lt;/strong&gt;All the&amp;nbsp;fractions produced nominal reduction of hyperglycemia. Except hexane&amp;nbsp;fraction at 50 mg/kg and ethylacetate fraction at 200 mg/kg all the fractions&amp;nbsp;had percentage reductions of glucose greater than that of the control at&amp;nbsp;the experimental doses. Although the values of percentage reductions of&amp;nbsp;hyperglycemia by the hexane fraction were apparently dose-dependent,&amp;nbsp;the greatest margin of reduction of hyperglycemia was observed in the&amp;nbsp;residual aqueous fraction. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;It was found that SCE contains&amp;nbsp;valuable phytochemicals in appreciable quantities which are antidiabetic.&amp;nbsp;The residual aqueous fraction is the most potent antihyperglycemic of the&amp;nbsp;solvent fractions.&lt;/p&gt;

Various medicinal plants found in many parts of India are well known for their various medicinal values. The &lt;em&gt;Terminalia chebula&lt;/em&gt; Retz. a native plant of Asia is found to have various properties like anti-oxidant and free radical scavenging activity, anti-carcinogenic activity, ant-imutagenic activity, anti-bacterial activity, anti-fungal activity, anti-viral activity, anti-diabetic, renoprotective activity, cardio-protective activity, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity. These properties of &lt;em&gt;T. chebula&lt;/em&gt; discussed in this review are mainly due to the presence of various types of phytoconstituents.&lt;/p&gt;

Powdered drug can be typified by multi-cellular trichomes, fragments of epidermis of leaf in surface view, epidermis of corolla and entire or broken seeds. Saponins and flavanoids were found be the major components. HPTLC method was developed for quantification of oleanolic acid and lupeol using precoated silica gel plates as a stationary phase, and toluene: methanol (9.4: 0.6) as a mobile phase and scanning the plate at 545 nm. The amount of oleanolic acid and lupeol were found to be 0.027-0.029% w/w and 0.015-0.016% w/w respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The quality parameters and HPTLC method developed would serve as useful gauge in standardization of Mollugo oppositifolia.&lt;/p&gt;

The presence of any therapeutic potential in HP was also determined by qualitative and quantitative estimation of phytochemicals along with free radical scavenging activity of various successive solvent extracts (based on their polarity). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the powdered HP was also done. The standard software SPSS (ver. 15.0) and XLSTAT 2009 (Addinsoft) and Smith&amp;rsquo;s Statistical Package were used for different statistical analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Powder microscopy of HP revealed the presence of calcium oxalate crystal, tracheids, stone cells etc. Various fluorescence colours were exhibited by HP on UV after reacting with different chemical reagents. The analysis values were also obtained in a satisfactory way. TLC and qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of some active phytoconstituents. Among all the solvent extracts, acetone, heptane, ethyl acetate and benzene extracts showed higher antioxidant potential. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results support the use of HP as a traditional medicine and further purification should be done for the identification of bioactive phytoconstituents responsible for its antioxidant activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">348</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arunika Subba and Palash Mandal* &lt;/strong&gt;Department of Botany, Plant Physiology and Pharmacognosy Research Laboratory, University of North Bengal, Siliguri, West Bengal, India.&lt;/p&gt;

This is the first report on the pharmacognostical standardisation and phytochemical evaluation of whole plant of Homonoia riparia Lour. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To establish the pharmacognostical and physicochemical standardisation parameters of whole plant of Homonoia riparia Lour. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The plant was studied for the morpho-anatomical characters, standardisation parameters such as ash value, extractive value, fluorescence analysis, loss on drying, swelling index, foaming index according to Indian Pharmacopoeia and WHO guidelines. Phytochemical analysis was also performed by standard methods. Quantification of gallic acid in Homonoia riparia was carried out using HPTLC technique.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The detailed microscopy of root revealed the presence of cork, cork cambium, pericyclic fibres, thick walled parenchyma and starch granules. The distinguishing characters of stem are presence of sclereids, xylem, phloem, fibres. Leaf microscopy showed the presence of anomocytic stomata, bicollateral vascular bundles ensheathed by fibres. Rosette crystals are present in all the parts of the plant. Starch grains are abundantly present in root and stem but absent in leaves. Various physicochemical parameters were also determined. Phytochemical screening of the extract and HPTLC quantification of gallic acid was also performed.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study provides pharmacognostical, physicochemical and phytochemical details of the whole plant of Homonoia riparia which are useful in laying down standardization and pharmacopoeia parameters&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. 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;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Neuroprotection, Phytochemicals, Medicinal herbs, Nootropics, Dietary sources.&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 Articles</style></work-type><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">G.

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.

The main aim of this study was to collect ethnobotanical information&amp;rsquo;s and to study its &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; regeneration results. All possible ethnobotanical literatures have been cited here. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; propagation was achieved from leaf and nodal explants of &lt;em&gt;Pogostemon cablin&lt;/em&gt; on MS medium. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Callus development and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; axillary shoot formation was successfully made in MS basal medium containing BA (4.0 mg/L), NAA (2.0 mg/L)+ IAA (1.0 mg/L) and BA (3 mg/L)+IAA (1 mg/L). MS basal medium containing IBA (0.1/L) and Kn (2.5 mg/L) was best for induction of multiple shoots within 4 weeks of culture. Combination of NAA (0.1 mg/L). Kn (0.1 mg/L) and CH (100 mg/L) was best for callus induction which later on formed multiple shoots and caused elongation of roots. Micro shoots of varied length were produced on MS medium. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized in green house for 1 month and then were transferred to the field. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It can be concluded that &lt;em&gt;pogostemon cablin&lt;/em&gt; has immense ethno botanical importance. For its rapid multiplication, &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; technique was found very successful. In MS medium supplemented with Kn 2.5 mg/L and IBA 0.1mg/L found maximum multiplication rate. In this proportion rates of shoot generation, leaf, rooting, callus formation was maximum.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">152</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pratibha Sharma &amp;amp; Jintu Sarma&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

All possible ethnobotanical literatures have been cited here. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; In vitro&lt;/em&gt; propagation was achieved from leaf and nodal explants of &lt;em&gt;Pogostemon cablin&lt;/em&gt; on MS medium.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Callus development and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; axillary shoot formation was successfully made in MS basal medium containing BA (4.0 mg/L), NAA (2.0 mg/L)+ IAA (1.0 mg/L) and BA (3 mg/L)+IAA (1 mg/L). MS basal medium containing IBA (0.1/L) and Kn (2.5 mg/L) was best for induction of multiple shoots within 4 weeks of culture. Combination of NAA (0.1 mg/L). Kn (0.1 mg/L) and CH (100 mg/L) was best for callus induction which later on formed multiple shoots and caused elongation of roots. Micro shoots of varied length were produced on MS medium. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatized in green house for 1 month and then were transferred to the field. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; It can be concluded that&lt;em&gt; pogostemon cablin&lt;/em&gt; has immense ethno botanical importance. For its rapid multiplication, &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; technique was found very successful. In MS medium supplemented with Kn 2.5 mg/L and IBA 0.1mg/L found maximum multiplication rate. In this proportion rates of shoot generation, leaf, rooting, callus formation was maximum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words: &lt;/strong&gt;Ethnobotany,&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;study, &lt;em&gt;Pogostemon cablin&lt;/em&gt;, MS medium.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">152</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pratibha Sharma &amp;amp; Jintu Sarma&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Department of Environmental Science, Tezpur University, Tezpur,Assam-784028, India&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamal Hasan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thangavelu Lakshmi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thirumalai Kumaran Rathinam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preliminary Phytochemical Analysis and In vitro Anti-helmenthic activity of Achyranthes aspera Leaf extract</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacognosy Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Achyranthes aspera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-helmenthic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-inflammatory</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laxative</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytochemical.</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">01/2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">397-399</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; To evaluate the preliminary phytochemical analysis and &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;- Antihelmenthic activity of leaf extract of &lt;em&gt;Achyranthes aspera&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Background:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Achyranthes aspera &lt;/em&gt;is an annual, stiff-erect herb found commonly as a weed throughout India.

The pharmacognostic parameters were investigated. Chrysazin contents were analyzed by TLC image analysis using ImageJ software compared to TLC-densitometry. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;X. indica&lt;/em&gt; flowering heads from 15 different sources in Thailand were collected. Morphological and physicochemical parameters were characterized. Chrysazin was successively extracted and determined by TLC image analysis using ImageJ software and TLC-densitometry. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopic study was illustrated as whole plant drawing. The microscopic study showed fragment of corolla, seeds, pollen grain and staminode. The pharmacognostic parameters revealed that the loss on drying, total ash, acid-insoluble ash and water content should be not more than 6.90, 2.50, 0.41, and 11.12 of % dry weight respectively while water and ethanol-soluble extractive values should be not less than 6.59 and 4.03 of % dry weight respectively. TLC fingerprint revealed clearly chrysazin yellow fluorescent band at 365 nm. Chrysazin quantitation by TLC image analysis and TLC densitometry were developed and validated. Chrysazin content was 0.022 &amp;plusmn; 0.001 % dry weight by both methods. There was no statistically significantly difference between these methods. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study provided pharmacognostic specification and chrysazin content of &lt;em&gt;X. indica&lt;/em&gt; flowering heads that can be used for basic quality control and standardization of plant material.

This study was undertaken to investigate its phytochemical, physicochemical and radicalscavenging activities of the aerial parts of the plant. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Physico-chemical parameters: moisture content, foaming index, total ash, dichloromethane, alcohol and water soluble extractive, pleliminary phytochemical screening and TLC finger print profile were determined. Three new flavonol glycosides, 3-&lt;em&gt;O-&amp;szlig&lt;/em&gt;;-gentiobiosides of 6-methoxykaempferol andg omphrenol and a new gomphrenol trioside as well as the known 3-&lt;em&gt;O-&amp;szlig&lt;/em&gt;;-gentiobiosides of patuletin and spinacetin, previously isolated from the aerial parts of &lt;em&gt;Chenopodium foliosum&gt; Asch&lt;/em., were analyzed for radical-scavenging activity using DPPH-, ABTS- free radicals. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results of physico-chemical parameters showed moisture content- 6.05%, foaming index-250, total ash- 12.19% and dichloromethane, alcohol and water soluble extractive respectively 2.52%, 13.20% and 12.01%. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the aerial parts of C. foliosum reveals the presence of carbohydrates, flavonoids, phytosterols, saponins and alkaloids/ amines. Patuletine-3-O-gentiobioside showed the highest DPPH (95.03 &amp;plusmn; 0.09) and ABTS (87.20 &amp;plusmn; 0.13) activity, compared to Vit C. 6-Methoxykaempferol-3-O-gentiobioside showed significant ABTS (81.09 &amp;plusmn; 0.06) activity, but DPPH activity was lacking. The other flavonoids showed low DPPH activity, but moderate ABTS activity compared with BHT. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of this study could be useful for correct identification of the plant and further standardization. In addition this study suggesting that the decoction prepared from &lt;em&gt;C. foliosum&lt;/em&gt; could be a potential source of nutraceuticals with radical-scavenging activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chenopodium&lt;/em&gt;, phytochemical investigations, flavonoids, DPPH, ABTS.&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%">Research Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Zlatina Kokanova-Nedialkova&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Paraskev T.

(Saururaceae) is one of the perennial herb indigenous to North-East India and China. Despite the popular utilization of this herb as medicine, still no study has been reported so far regarding the pharmacognostical standardization. Thus, the aim of the present study was to scientifically establish a standard monograph on the basis of pharmacognostical and phytochemical aspects. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The quality control standardization of&lt;em&gt; H. cordata&lt;/em&gt; was done as per the methods described in the World Health Organization guidelines (2002). &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The diagnostic characters of the &lt;em&gt;H. Cordata&lt;/em&gt; leaf and rhizome portion were evaluated based on the macroscopical and microscopical characters. Determination of various physicochemical parameters such as water soluble ash (1.12% w/w), acid insoluble ash (4.02% w/w), sulphated ash (3.15% w/w), alcohol soluble extractive (12.8% w/w), water soluble extractive (14.9% w/w), loss on drying (3.42% w/w) and crude fibres content (13.10% w/w) was ascertained. Heavy metal, microbial load, fluorescence drug analysis, and preliminary phytochemical screening of different fractions were also carried out. Total phenols (45.74 mg/g tannic acid equivalent, TAE), tannins (33.29mg/g TAE), flavonoids (104.55 mg/g rutin equivalent, RE), and flavonols (17.16mg/g RE) were quantified from the ethanolic extract of the whole plant. Quantification of quercetin in the ethanolic extract was assessed by HPTLC analysis and was found to contain 4.39%, w/w. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The obtained qualitative and quantitative standards will provide referential information for correct identification and standardization of this medicinal plant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Words: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Houttuynia cordata&lt;/em&gt;, pharmacognosy, quercetin, HPTL.&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%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manish Kumar, Satyendra K.

The broad spectrum of beneficial effects of the seeds perceived with this plant warrants further exploration of &lt;em&gt;B. juncea&lt;/em&gt; seeds as a potential source for obtaining pharmacologically standardized phytotherapeutics, which could be potentially useful. The objective of the present study was to perform the pharmacognosy of mustards seeds inclusive of qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis, fingerprinting by infrared spectroscopy and high performance thin layer chromatography analysis and toxicity assessment &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Different sections of seeds were taken and stained with 0.1% phloroglucinol for microscopic examination. The seeds were extracted by 80% alcohol on a rotary shaker to perform phytochemical analysis and fingerprinting. The toxicity assessment of this extract was performed on human dermal fibroblast cells. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Microscopic examination of seeds showed characteristic features of mustard seeds. The extraction of these seeds by 20% alcohol resulted in IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 103 &amp;plusmn; 3 &amp;mu;g/mL for 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazyl radical scavenging assay. The fingerprinting analysis of this extract indicated probable presence of sinigrin, quercetin, vanillin, catechin, vitamin E and sulfur-containing compounds. This extract exhibited 50% toxicity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) at 1.79 mg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The result achieved will be used to assess the therapeutic efficacy of seed extracts for future pharmacological evaluations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Antioxidant, cytotoxicity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high performance thin layer chromatography, microscopy, phenolics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harita Parikh, Aparna Khanna&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Department of Biological Sciences, School of Science, NMIMS University, Vile Parle (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Madhukiran Parvathaneni,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganga Rao Battu,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravikumar Jangiti,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Keerthana Diyya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacokinetic study of phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin after oral administration to rats</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacognosy Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HPLC–PDA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">hypophyllanthin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacokinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phyllanthin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phyllanthus amarus</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18th Feb,2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">124-130</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study was carried out to develop a sensitive and cost effective HPLC method for the determination of bioactive lignans (phyllanthin and hypophyllanthin) and its application in a pharmacokinetic study. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Identification of lignan compounds on C&amp;ndash;18 column was monitored at a range of 199&amp;ndash;400nm using photodiode array detector (PDA) with methanol-water (66:34, v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1ml/min.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of lyophilized aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; on high-density lipoproteins composition, paraoxonase (PON1) and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activities in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Diabetes was induced intraperitonially by a single injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (60mg/kg bw). Twelve diabetic rats, weighing 263&amp;plusmn;5g, were divided into two groups fed a casein diet supplemented or not with&lt;em&gt; Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; extract (1g/kg bw), for 4 weeks.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; At d28, in&lt;em&gt; Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; treated vs untreated diabetic group, glycemia, serum total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerols (TG) and phospholipids (PL) concentrations were decreased significantly (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). The hypolipidemic effect induced by &lt;em&gt;Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; extract was due to the reduction of total cholesterol (TC) in LDL-HDL&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; (-51%) and C-HDL&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; (-21%).&lt;em&gt; Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; treatment improved PON1 and LCAT activities by 48%. HDL3-UC (acyl group acceptor) and -PL (enzyme substrate) were diminished respectively by 47% and 82%, whereas HDL&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;-CE concentrations (product of LCAT reaction) were increased by 44%. Moreover, HDL-C levels were found to be positively correlated with PON1 activity (r=0.96, &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05). Serum, LDL-HDL&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;, HDL&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; and HDL&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; TBARS levels were respectively, 2.9-, 2.6-, 2.4- and 2.8-fold lower in &lt;em&gt;Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; treated than untreated diabetic groups. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These findings reflect the potential antihyperglycemic and hypolipidemic of &lt;em&gt;Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; extract, in STZ-induced diabetic rat. Moreover,&lt;em&gt; Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt; extract restores PON1 and ameliorates the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) by enhancing LCAT activity, therefore could prevent many diabetic complications by reducing dyslipidemia and oxidative damage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words: &lt;/strong&gt;Rats, Streptozotocin, &lt;em&gt;Portulaca oleracea&lt;/em&gt;, Cholesterol, PON1, LCAT, apo A-I, lipoprotein peroxidation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guenzet Akila, Krouf Djamil and Berzou Saadia&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Laboratoire de Nutrition Clinique et M&amp;eacute;tabolique, D&amp;eacute;partement de Biologie, Facult&amp;eacute; des Sciences de la Nature et de la Vie.

Megaloblastic anemia arises due to curtailed formation of erythrocytes, which leads to formation of a large number of underdeveloped erythrocytes. Proper nutritional supplementation may be useful in such condition. &lt;em&gt;Beta vulgaris&lt;/em&gt; or beetroot is one of the important vegetables consumed worldwide. The aim of the present work was to evaluate anti-anemic potential of beetroot. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Beetroot was extracted with ethanol. Phytochemical and phytoanalytical studies were performed on extract. Anemia was induced by phenyl-hydrazine. Animals were treated with extract throughout the study for 24 days. The red blood cell (RBC) number and hemoglobin concentration were determined every 3 days for 24 days. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Extract was found to be rich in folic acid, ascorbic acid, and iron. Following the induction of anemia, the number of erythrocytes and the hemoglobin concentration decreased by 62.51% and 69.64%, respectively. Administration of standard hematinic preparation and extract (200 mg/kg) resulted in signifi cant increase (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt; 0.001; &lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt; 0.01) in the number of RBCs as well as hemoglobin concentration when compared to the untreated phenyl hydrazine-induced anemic rats. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Extract effectively raised the level of hemoglobin and erythrocyte count at dose 200 mg/kg. Vitamin and minerals found in beetroot are most likely active ingredients responsible for its hematinic effects. Still, methodical studies are obligatory to derive its effects on humans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beta vulgaris&lt;/em&gt;, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, phenyl hydrazine.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anupam Jaiswal&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Aditya Ganeshpurkar&lt;sup&gt;1*&lt;/sup&gt;, Ankita Awasthi&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Divya Bansal&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Nazneen Dubey&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacology, Drug Discovery Laboratory, Shri Ram Institute of Technology-Pharmacy, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;Department of Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics Research Laboratory, Shri Ram Institute of Technology-Pharmacy, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C.Elanchezhiyan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">K.Kumaravel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad bhat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S.Sethupathy</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protective role of  Helicteres isora plant extract on plasma and tissue glycoprotein components in streptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacognosy Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Helicteres isora</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plasma Glycoproteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Streptozotocin</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26th May 2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">86-91</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the protective role of &lt;em&gt;Helicteres &lt;/em&gt;isora plant extract on glycoprotein metabolism in streptozotocin (STZ) induced type 2 diabetic rats. &lt;em&gt;Helicteres isora &lt;/em&gt;plant extract was administered orally (200 mg/kg body weight) for 40 days to normal and diabetic rats. The effects of Helicteres isora plant extract on plasma and tissue glycoproteins (hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid and fucose) were determined. The levels of plasma glycoproteins containing hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid and fucose were significantly increased in diabetic rats when compared with normal control rats. There was a significant decrease in the level of sialic acid and elevated levels of hexose, hexosamine and fucose in the liver and kidney of STZ induced diabetic rats. On oral administration of&lt;em&gt; Helicteres&lt;/em&gt; isora plant extract to diabetic rats showed decreased levels of plasma glycoproteins. The level of tissue sialic acid was increased whereas the levels of tissue hexose, hexosamine and fucose were reversed to near normal.
