Prunus amygdalus Batsch (family-Rosaceae), popularly known as Badam, Almond, is the most important familiar nuttree for global nut production that includes apples pears, prunes and raspberries. Almond seed skin is a prominent source of polyphenolic compounds, mainly phenolic acids, bioflavonoids, flavanones, isoflavones, flavonol glycosides and lignans that are reported in a ripened nut. Bioflavonoids such as flavanolglycosides, chieflycatechins, epicatechin, procyanidins and flavonol include 3-hydroxyflavone backbone glycosides, particularly isorhamnetin, isorhamnetin, naringenin and kaempferol are novel agents isolated from ripened seeds. The review aims to renew the interest in this promising plant, thus stimulating researchers to go further with the study for discovering novel medicinal agents for the treatment and management of several kinds of ailments. The present study compiled a detailed and unique summary of traditional folk medicine Prunus amygdalus based on screening the various databases from traditional textbooks, Science Direct, Google Scholar, PubMed, Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Research Gate, etc. The kernels of the seeds are a major source of vitamin E and B, dietary fiber, essential elements calcium and...

Re-establishing blood flow in ischemia is essential for rescuing cells from necrosis in any tissue or organ. However, reperfusion post cerebral ischemia may worsen the condition and lead to “cerebral reperfusion injury”. In cerebral reperfusion injury, significant changes observed are infarct size, behavioural deficits, hematoma formation, inflammatory mediators, and oxidative stress markers that represent the extent of brain injury. Experimental in-vivo and in-vitro models mimicking the necessary neurological and pathological process are vital in the research of pathogenesis of cerebral reperfusion injury and the development of credible therapeutic drugs. This review explains the currently used in-vivo as well as in-vitro models to study cerebral reperfusion injury ranging from animal-based models like middle cerebral artery occlusion model, emboli stroke model, two-vessel occlusion model, four-vessel occlusion model, photochemical stroke model, collagenase induced brain haemorrhage model, autologous whole blood induced haemorrhage model to cell lines. Also, advanced technology likes the synthetic microvasculature model has been discussed. This review also provides contemplative facts to set up authentic and relevant animal models to study...

Pain is the most common symptom of disease, which accompanies us from an early age. It is a safeguarding mechanism of the body from harmful stimuli. The definition of pain states that it is a subjective sensory and emotional experience. This study compared generic and brand drugs’ analgesics and anti-inflammatory activity using eddy’s hot plate method and plethysmometer models. Two studies were conducted by using oral and intraperitoneal routes of administration. In this study, generic drugs such as Ranbaxy, intagesic, and Diclovin. Branded drugs are such as Voveran, Dynapar, and Cipla are used. The analgesics activity and anti-inflammatory activity of generic and branded drugs are the same. So, it has been concluded that generic drugs also show same effect as branded...

Coconut oil is an edible vegetable oil used in the food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics industries. Fatty acids are the major constituents of Coconut oil. Various methods were reported for the extraction of oil from coconut seed kernels. Extraction of coconut oil from its seed kernel using the probe sonication method is not reported in the literature. Hence, in the present study, oil was extracted using hexane and ethyl acetate. The physicochemical parameters like acid value, saponification value, refractive index, specific gravity, unsaponifiable matter, moisture content and iodine value were determined for the extracted oil. Oil samples after base-catalyzed derivatization were analyzed for the quantification of fatty acids by the GC-FID method. The percentage of oil extracted from coconut seed kernel was 31.84% and 36.32% for n-hexane and ethyl acetate extractions, respectively. Physico-Chemical parameters of the oils tested were within limits. Coconut oil obtained from n-hexane extraction contained the highest fraction of lauric acid. Oil extraction with probe sonication technique was found to be efficient as the percentage recovery of...

Mucormycosis is a new fungal disease that increased the morbidity and mortality rate in this present scenario. It’s difficult to diagnose and cure due to proper scientific evidence is not yet being designed. The disease’s prevalence appears to be rising. In high-income nations, hematological malignancies are the most prevalent underlying illness, while uncontrolled diabetes is usually linked to pulmonary mucormycosis in low-income nations. Mucormycetes can be detected or identified using histopathology and molecular tests, and they can be recommended as important add-on techniques to augment standard diagnostic techniques. Reversal of underlying predisposing factors, early delivery of active antifungal medications at the appropriate dosage, thorough excision of all diseased tissues and different adjuvant treatments are all part of a successful therapy strategy mucormycosis. Liposomal amphotericin B antifungal medications have been added to our antifungal arsenal, but amphotericin B remains the medication of choice for first antifungal therapy. Despite attempts to better understand the pathophysiology of mucormycosis, early diagnosis and intensive treatment, the disease’s fatality rate remains...
