Filicium decipiens belongs to the Sapindaceae family, which is commonly known as fern tree, is found in the Western Ghats of southern India, small highland areas of East Africa and Sri Lanka and it is a medium to a large evergreen tree. It is commonly cultivated in gardens and roadsides as ornamental, noise barriers and windbreak plant. Filicium decipiens traditionally used for the treatment of diabetes in India. The leaves of Filicium decipiens have been collected from the Western Ghats of southern India, shade dried and powdered well. The finely powdered leaves have been extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water successively with an increase in polarity. The methanolic extract was column chromate-graphed using silica gel G 100-200 mesh to get brown color crystalline solid, which was analyzed for the presence of bioactive chemical constituents using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of thirty chemical constituents. The four different crude extracts (petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water) of leaves of Filicium decipiens have been...

The present study aimed to determine the pharmacognostical evaluation and phytochemical analysis of the plant part of Lagersreomia speciosa. In this study, a macroscopical, microscopical evaluation was done. Various quantitative parameters such as total ash, acid insoluble ash, water-soluble ash sulphated ash, extractive value with various solvent were done. In the preliminary phytochemical analysis, various chemical test were performed for the determination of phytoconstituents present in the plant. Fluorescence analysis of powder drugs was done in a deferent wavelengthrange. TLC was performing for the methanolic extract taking the solvent system with various ratios. From the experiment result it was found leaves are bitter in taste, the shape is elliptical to oblong, acute base subacute apex, entire margin and pinnate venation the leaves are dorsiventral, long epidermis layer, spongy mesophyll, loosely packed parenchyma cell present in the leaf. Microscopic powder drug analysis shows the prism and rosette shape calcium oxalate crystals, lignified and annular xylem vessels, and multicellular trichomes. From quantitative microscopic study stomatal number, vain-islet number, vein termination number...

To investigate the possible protective effects of satwa from three Tinospora species against acetaminophen and alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Male albino wistar rats were divided into six groups (n=6); healthy control, negative control (Acetaminophen 1000mg/kg b.w./day, p.o. or 30%; alcohol 1ml/100g b.w./day, p.o.), positive control (Silymarin; 100mg/kg b.w./day, p.o.), Treatment 1 (Tinospora cordifolia satwa; 200mg/kg b.w/day p.o.), Treatment 2 (Tinospora sinensis satwa; 200mg/kg b.w/day, p.o.) and Treatment 3 (Neem-giloe satwa; 200mg/kg b.w/day., p.o.). Liver injury in the rats was induced by repeated dosing of acetaminophen or alcohol for 15 days. Expression analysis of fatty acid-binding protein 1 (FABP1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ), sterolregulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), nuclear factor-kappa β (NF-κβ) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) genes from liver were assayed by a semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Expressions of FABP1, PPARγ were downregulated while SREBP1, NF-κβ and TNF-α were upregulated in negative control. Treatment with Neem-giloe satwa upregulated the expression of FABP1 and down-regulated the expression of NF-κβ, SREBP1, TNF-α as compared to acetaminophen treated rats. Treatment with T. sinensis...

The experiment was carried out to investigate the phytochemicals constituents of the red seaweed Hypnea flagelliformis (Greville ex J. Agardh. 1851) from Tuticorin coastal waters, Gulf of Mannar, southeast coast of India; by using HPLC, FTIR, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. The selected seaweed was extracted with ethyl acetate (by soxhlet extraction method), furthermore subjected to HPLC, FTIR, and GC-MS analysis to reveal the phytochemical constituents. Totally five peak values were found in HPLC analysis. Among the five, three are a prominent peak at 2.243, 2.447, and 30.787 min, and the area percentages were 23.0, 45.4, and 30.6, respectively. The IR spectrum of ethyl acetate extract shows nine peaks corresponding to the wavenumber 3403.16, 2923.88, 2853.49, 2361.67, 1717.49, 1460.98, 1378.04, 1248.82, and 1042.45 cm‑1. In the GC-MS analysis, a total of nineteen peaks were obtained, and the chromatograph showed 19 individual compounds. From all the nineteen compounds, three major compounds identified based on area percentage, which includes 1,4-eicosadiene (29.01%), n-tetracosanol-1(14.06%), and tetradecyl trichloro-acetic acid (7.90%). Further, these novel bioactive structures...

Objective: The present study was carried out to evaluate the pharmacological evaluation of SDDCT as nephroprotective potential in rats. Material and Methods: The current study was designed to evaluate the pharmacological potential of SDDCT in Gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rats. The SDDCT found to be useful in suppression of nephrotoxicity. The pharmacological potential was evaluated in gentamicin 100 mg/kg induced nephrotoxicity in rats for seven days through i.p. administration, the effect of SDDCT at a different dose level that is a higher dose (100 mg/kg b.w. p.o.) and lower dose (50 mg/kg b.w. p.o.). Various physical, biochemical, and antioxidant parameters were studied. Gentamicin induced glomerular destruction, accumulation of inflammatory cells, epithelial desquamation and necrosis in parts of medulla was found to reduce in the groups receiving SDDCT along with Gentamicin. SDDCT also normalized Gentamicin induced increase in serum creatinine (0.40 ± 0.15), serum urea (30.33 ± 2.21), serum uric acid (1.80 ± 0.27) and blood urea nitrogen (16.06 ± 1.50) levels. This is also evidenced by histopathological studies. Result...
