Several plants across the world possess specific therapeutic and diagnostic properties. The identification of the properties among them is the most difficult task. Several researchers have used several methodologies to express the therapeutic properties in the plants. The interest of scientists among the anticancer studies has been increasing widely as cancer has become one of the deadliest diseases. The usage of different parts of the plant and using the different extracting solvents has shown effective results on different types of cancer cell lines. Several plants synthesize metabolites which possess anticancer properties that have been used in the development of drugs by clinical trials. The application of nanoparticles from plants in cancer treatment has been regarded as a successful method recently. The present review aims at the study of a broad spectrum of plants having anticancer properties using the in-vitro analysis of particular cell lines. The anticancer activity was analyzed by different assays such as MTT assay, “Alamar Blue” Resazurin reduction assay, SRB assay, and WST-1 assay. The results were...

Indian coastline stretches about 5700 km covering 9 states on the mainland and about 7500 km including islands and union territories. Seaweeds, a renewable natural resource, found growing in large quantities along the Indian coast. Seaweeds are currently worldwide interest in finding new and safe promising organisms for health. It is one of the important essential producers of biomass in the marine environment. Seaweeds are not only of high ecological but also of great economic importance as they produce a wide variety of chemically active metabolites in their surroundings. The potential uses of algal biomass for the benefit of mankind have been intensively reviewed in the last few years. Marine algae have been used as a novel food with potential nutritional benefits in industry and medicine for various purposes. Furthermore, marine algae have shown to provide a rich source of natural bioactive compounds with antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypercholesterolemia and hypolipidemic and antineoplastic properties, etc. The present review is focusing on the bioactivities and potential pharmacological...

Though conventional medicines are slow in action, they represent safety in contrast to the synthetics that are regarded as somewhat unsafe to human and environment. The uses of many traditional herbs in the treatment of many diseases, which are usually free from side effects, are economical and also easily accessible to humans. Plants have formed the basis of sophisticated traditional medicine systems that have been in existence for hundreds of years and continue to provide mankind with new remedies. The use of synthetic chemical compounds has led to a decline in the use of plants in contemporary medicine. However, synthetic medicine can cause side effects, and as a result, people are more constructive to use natural compounds obtained from plants. Eclipta alba (L.) is a herbaceous plant which has been employed as traditional medicine especially in tropical and subtropical regions. E. alba is a widely applied traditional medicine and functional food, has been extensively explored for its bioactivities. The plant contains a broad array of active principles which includes...

Inhaled Pharmacological therapy is key to treatments for patients with asthma and COPD. People who suffered from COPD died every year in low- and middle-income countries. The primary reason for COPD is tobacco smoking or second-hand smoke. Another risk factor is air pollution, dust, and fumes. Current guidelines endorsed inhaled pharmacology therapy as the favorable route of administration for treating COPD. Bronchodilators (β2 agonists and antimuscarinics) are the anchor of the pharmacology therapy in patients with COPD, with long-acting approved for patients with ordinary to serious symptoms or those who are at higher risk for COPD aggravations. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) is the frequently used drug delivery devices, but they may be sparse in various clinical scenarios. There are a lot of drugs become available in solutions; suspensions form to treat patients suffered from COPD with nebulized drug delivery, which supplies benefits similar to drugs delivered by the conventional delivery system and better quality of life. A successful pulmonary administration requires a harmonic interaction...
