The objective of the study was to investigate the in-vitro anti-cancer effect of Panchagavya on the Human Colon Adencarcinoma (HCT-116) cell line. Panchayavya was formulated using five products from Cows, namely; Cow dung, Cow urine, Cow milk, Cow curd and Cow ghee. The whole mixture was further freeze-dried and stored until further assay conduction. The growth inhibitory activity of the raw Panchagavya (PGS1) and formulated Panchagavya (PGS2) in HCT-116 colon cancer cells were investigated by 3-(4, 5 – dimethyl thiazolyl – 2) – 2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results from MTT assay indicated that cell proliferation was significantly (p <0.05) inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion, especially by formulated Panchagavya. Thus, Panchagavya formulation has a potential anti-cancer activity. In this context, we investigated the anti-proliferative potential of Fresh Panchgavya preparation against the Human Colon Adenocarcinoma (HCT-116) Cell Line. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating in-vitro anti-proliferative efficacy of Panchgavyaagainst Human Colon Adenocarcinoma (HCT-116) Cell...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most frequent cause of dementia worldwide and its incidence is increasing due to the world’s aging population. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the greatest medical care challenges of our century and is the main cause of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases. Dementia is defined as an acquired loss of cognition in many cognitive domains. Herbal medicine has evolved as the greatest option for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease due to its wide availability, low cost, high patient compliance, ease of formulation and lack of harmful side effects. Novel techniques can be used for the development of herbal medicine. In these research article animal studies, has been carried out to known Alzheimer disease (AD) caused by chemical compounds may be helpful in deeper understanding the mechanism of disease and AD treatment. In the present study, the efficacy of an ethanolic extract of Cissus quadrangularis stems (EECQ) was evaluated against scopolamine-induced Alzheimer’s in the Wistar albino rat. As Cissus quadrangularis stems contain many active chemical constituents, including...

The adverse environmental impact of fungicides used in plant disease control is escalating day by day. Generally, plant diseases are controlled by synthetic fungicides, chemical methods, and bio-control agents. Chemical methods lead to deterioration of soil fertility and cause pollution. Being highly stable and resistant to biodegradation, chemical fungicides also enter the food chain and are responsible for many harmful effects on human health and the environment. Hence, eco-friendly alternative methods are of great urgency. One of the prominent approaches in this direction includes utilizing plant extracts with natural antifungal constituents. So, a study was attempted to determine the antifungal and phytochemical activity of underexploited leafy vegetables. Methanol and water extracts of the leaves were tested against two economically important plant pathogens Alternaria solani and Pythium aphanidermatum and the antifungal activity of plant extracts was determined. All the plant species under study showed inhibitory activity against the plant pathogens. However, B. diffusa and C. frutescens exhibited maximized efficiencies. Moreover, the water extracts of B. diffusa and C. frutescens (1%)...

The present investigation screening and characterization of α-amylase and antimicrobial compound producing filamentous fungi is used for extensive commercial applications in various sectors and is highly demanded in the Biotech industry. The results reveal that out of the carbon substrates alone, sugarcane bagasse with a combination of Tween-80 was found to yield maximum α-amylase (151.76 IU) under solid-state fermentation by different species of fungal species such as KRV_001Chaetomium oryzae, KRV_002 Penicillium citrinum, KRV_003 Aspergillus flavus, KRV_004 Penicillium notatum, KRV_005 Alternaria longipes and KRV_006 Trichoderma polysporum. Among them, KRV_001 Chaetomium oryzae, KRV_002 Penicillium citrinum, KRV_005 Alternaria longipes were maximum expressed α-amylase based on the plate assay by different pH, temperature and different substrate using amylase activity, SDS-PAGE, Antimicrobial activity has been done in Methanol extract exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus MTCC96 whereas the water extract displayed antibacterial activity. The organism produces volatile and water-soluble antibiotics and shows significant inhibition as the potential value of KRV_001Chaetomium oryzae and little less activity of KRV_006 Trichoderma polysporum among the isolates was...

Aim: The present investigation deals with the preliminary phytochemical screening, in vitro antioxidant, and in vivo antidepressant activity of ethanolic leaf extract of Manilkara zapota. Materials and Methods: In-vitro antioxidant activity was evaluated using AS free radical scavenging parameters using Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, phosphor molybdenum antioxidant assay and NO scavenging activity, and H2O2 scavenging assay. The forced swim test, tail suspension test and locomotor activity using a digital Photoactometer were used to investigate the extract’s antidepressant activity further. AA, fluoxetine (10 mg/kg) and imipramine (4 mg/kg, p.o) were used as reference drugs for comparison. Results and Discussions: The presence of these bioactive constituents is linked to the plant’s antioxidant and antidepressant activity. The IC50 values of Hydrogen peroxide and Hydroxyl radical scavenging were found to be 24.5 and 81.28 ug/ml for extract and 7.94 and 40.7 ug/ml for AA. In our study, the extract showed a significant (P< 0.01) reduction in immobility in the tail suspension and forced swim models of depression, comparable to imipramine. Conclusion: psychostimulant effect...
