TRIDAX PROCUMBENS ATTENUATES ACETAMINOPHEN – INDUCED FREE RADICAL REACTION AND CELL NECROSIS IN CULTURED MOUSE HEPATOCYTES
Drug-induced hepatotoxicity represents a major clinical problem and an impediment to new medicine development. In vitro evaluation of hepatotoxicity is an essential stage in the research and development of new pharmaceuticals as the liver is one of the most commonly impacted organs during preclinical toxicity studies. The effect of an aqueous leaf extract of Tridax procumbens was evaluated...

AUGMENTATION OF TIL-CD3 IN ORAL CANCER: VARIATIONS IN RELATION TO STAGE AND GRADE OF DISEASE
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is often associated with a lymphocytic infiltrate that is believed to represent an in vivo immune reaction to the tumor cells. In this study, the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) associated with primary OSCC were characterized in hundred newly-diagnosed patients to determine the nature of the immune response to the primary tumor and to correlate it with stag...

ASSESS THE MEDICATION ADHERENCE AND FACTORS AFFECTING TO MEDICATION ADHERENCE AMONG PATIENTS WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA AT SRI RAMACHANDRA HOSPITAL, PORUR, CHENNAI
Purpose: Bronchial Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the airways. Lung function declines faster than average in people with asthma. Overall, one study reported that 72% of men and 86% of women with asthma had symptoms 15 years after an initial diagnosis. Only 19% of these people, however, were still seeing a doctor, and only 32% used any maintenance medication. Hence a study was conducted t...

IMMUNOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GLUTATHIONE-S-TRANSFERASE IN PARTHENIUM POLLINOSIS AND ITS CROSS-REACTIVITY WITH BIRCH POLLINOSIS FOR CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Pollinosis is one of the most common allergic diseases in Asia, Central and Northern Europe as well as in North America. Several proteins in parthenium pollen have already been characterized as allergens causing sensitization and the development of allergic symptoms in atopic individuals. Glutathione-S-transferase are a phylogenetically widespread enzyme family mainly involved in cellular detoxifi...

STUDY OF STRUCTURE BASED DESIGN FOR SULFONES AS ENOYL-ACP REDUCTASE INHIBITORS
Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of the disease, leprosy develops resistance against most of the drugs, so novel drug targets are required to design new drugs. Present work is aimed at understanding the inhibition of enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (Enoyl-ACP reductase), which is one of the receptor proteins used in drug discovery for screening anti-leprosy agents by virtually design...

PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY ON THE FRUITS OF HUGONIA MYSTAX L. (LINACEAE)
An ethnomedicinal plant, Hugonia mystax L., was examined for preliminary phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activity. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of various classes of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins and terpenoids. Antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanolic and aqueous fruits extracts showed ...

NEW POTENTIAL ALLELOCHEMICALS FROM AERIAL PARTS OF INDIGOFERA TRIFOLIATA LINN.
Two new potential allelochemicals were isolated from ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Indigofera trifoliata Linn. Along with three known compounds Tricin (3), Taraxerol (4) and 5-hydroxy-3, 4′, 7-trimethoxyflavone (5). The structures of new allelochemicals were characterized as 6, 3′, 4′-trihydroxy-5, 7, 8-trimethoxyflavanone-4′-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl...
