The best acne treatment inhibits bacterial growth, encourages the shedding to the skin cells to unclog pores. Treatment for acne includes topical agents and systemic agents. Its quality monitoring becomes essential for assuring quality products for human care. So, for that purpose a detailed study of review was done including reported and validated methods, official monograph methods for estimation of Nadifloxacin and Adapalene. It was found from a literature survey that among all reported evaluation methods the most widely and predominantly followed method is HPLC. Other methods reported were UV, HPTLC. A conclusion was made that there is lack of evaluation analytical methods for simultaneous estimation of Nadifloxacin and Adapalene in combined dosage...

Uraria picta (family Fabaceae) is an important woody medicinal herb. This plant has been used in traditional systems of medicine for the treatment of various diseases. It is also used in an Ayurvedic formulation of “Dashmula”. The utilization of roots by uprooting the entire plant and the problems associated with seed germination threaten this plant in its natural habitat and cause a shortage of root material for Ayurvedic preparation. The present study aimed to assess seed viability and the influence of pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and seedling development of U. picta. The treatments were applied singly and in combination, including acid scarification (H2SO4), hot and rubbing with sandpaper, pre-soaking in gibberellic acid (GA3), and the application of cuttings to the seed coat followed by pre-soaking in distilled water. The significantly highest rate (90%) of seed germination and a higher proportion of strong seedlings were observed in the seeds treated with 95% H2SO4. The protocol developed for seed germination and seedling development can be applied for raising a large...

Background: Plants for remedial applications are well known, realizing the pharmacological potentials of plants through analytical techniques. Asparagus racemosus is a well-known medicinal plant analyzed using biological approach. The present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant, ani-inflammatory, antibacterial effects and the possible bioactive compounds present in the chloroform, methanol and aqueous extract of A. racemosus plant. Methods: The whole plant was subjected to serial solvent extraction using chloroform, methanol, and aqueous. Phytochemical screening, total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were determined using standard methods and was followed by GCMS and FTIR for biological activity of compounds. The plant extracts were assessed for antioxidant activity by DPPH and FRAP assays, anti-inflammatory activity by protein denaturation method, and antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion method. Results: The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, triterpenoids, and saponins. The GCMS of whole plant chloroform, methanol and aqueous extract revealed the compounds that are rich in free radical scavenging activity and proven to be the best source...
