Antidiabetic potential of leaf and root extracts of Withania somnifera from Nimuch, Lucknow, Mumbai and Karnataka regions of India were evaluated against 3T3F442A fibroblast (3T3 adipocyte) cell line using glucose uptake assay. Leaf extracts from all the four regions were active on the cell line tested. Samples from Mumbai region found to be more active when compared with other regions. Root extracts also gave good glucose promoting activity in the presence of insulin. Nimuch samples were mere active than Mumbai samples. Isolated fractions and standard Withaferin-A and Withanolide-A were active at 20 µg/ml. This concentration was higher than that for crude leaf extract from Mumbai region and crude extracts from Nimuch region. Crude extract of Withania somnifera have good antidiabetic potential indicating the synergistic effect of these extract on glucose uptake of 3T3 fibroblast in presence of...

Let G=(V,E) be molecular graph with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G) in which the set of vertices and the set of edges of the graph correspond to the atoms of the molecule and chemical bonds, respectively. We denote d(u,v) the distance between u and v i.e the length of the shortest path connecting u and v. The eccentricity of a vertex in V(G) is defined to be Recently, we proposed the fifth atom-bond connectivity index of a simple connected graph G as . In this paper, we present more study of the fifth atom-bond connectivity index and compute this new index of polycyclic aromatic...

Background: Vidang (Embelia ribes Burm. f.) is a very famous plant for its anthelmintic activity. In Ayurveda, it is a first choice of drug for its krimighna action or to kill foreign pathogens. Embeliaro busta auct. Nonroxb., the other species of vidang is adulterated in Embelia ribes Burm. f. Therefore shastrokta or original vidang and its adulterant species were selected for the comparative study. Methods: Both aqueous and alcoholic extracts of fruits of both species of Embelia at 10, 20, 30% concentrations were tested for antimicrobial activity by agar well diffusion method against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Zone of inhibition of extracts were determined, then activity index and IC50 value was calculated. Results: Both ethanol and Aqueous extracts of Embelia ribes Burm. f. and Embeliaro busta auct. Nonroxb. inhibited the growth of all the tested strains of bacteria. Aqueous extract Embelia ribes Burm. f. has more potent action against microorganism Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiellaaerogenes, ZOI (16mm,14mm,19mm respectively), AI(0.64, 0.78, 0.70 resp.), IC50 (1.751, 1.166, 1.641...

Five novel benzimidazolium salts were synthesized as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors (1a–e). They were characterized by different techniques. The antimicrobial activities of these compounds were tested. The compounds showed moderate activity against three Gram (+) and seven Gram (-) bacteria in comparison to tetracycline, which was used as the standard antibiotic, whereas all the compounds (1a-e) showed no activity against the test yeast C....

Introduction: Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fructosamine has a growing role in the assessment of glycemic control but their use for screening purpose is questionable. Material and methods: The study was carried out on 50 controls and 50 patients suffering from hyperthyroidism from October 2014 to March 2015 at Geetanjali Medical College & Hospital, Udaipur (Rajasthan). Results: Fructosamine in hyperthyroid subjects (male & female) and control male & female (Mean ± SD) 141.87 ±41.14, 149.35 ± 49.82 and 223.54 ± 9.95, 224.15 ± 9.06 µmol/L respectively and the difference between them found statically significant. (P<0.001) Conclusion: The Fructosamine level was low in hyperthyroid patients as compared with...
