“Eat to live and don’t live to eat” this is a principle to be followed for a healthy and wealthy life. According to the therapeutic point of view, the patient who suffers from peptic ulcer diseases was shown to have a reduced secreted amount of HCl and pepsin. The management of gastric and duodenal ulcers can be followed by the decreased or neutralized level of gastric acid. Peptic ulcer influences up to 10% of the all-out total populace accordingly called chronic disease. Peptic ulcer arrangement relies on the lessening in the mucosal guards and on the nearness of the gastric juice pH. The two central points which disturb the mucosal protection from damage is the Helicobactor pylori (H. pylori) contamination and Non-steroidal calming drugs (NSAIDs). The valuable medicines of peptic ulcer are Proton pump inhibitors, Histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists, Antacids, Anticholinergics, Mucosal defensive agents, Bismuth compounds, Antimicrobial agents, and cholecystokinin-2-receptor antagonists drugs. The review contains the detailed study of H2 receptor antagonist drugs used as anti ulcers and the...

Tecomella undulata (Sm.) seem is a monotypic genus belonging to family Bignoniaceae. The plant holds the tremendous potential of medicinal value and has been traditionally used in various ailments like syphilis, leukoderma, blood disorders, to name a few. The plant has gained prominence due to the presence of some prominent secondary metabolites. The present study focuses on the GC-MS analysis of extracts of all the plant parts of T. undulata, which revealed the presence of certain bioactive compounds like Quericitin, Kaempferol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, thiazoline, phytol, pthalic acid, methyl alpha ketopalmitate and so forth. A total of about 20 bioactive compounds were identified. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was assayed against pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The flavonoids from leaf extracts showed highest antimicrobial activity against C. albicans, S. aureus, E. coli, and B. subtilis. This also correlates with the highest amount of Flavonoids present in leaves followed by the amount present in roots. The study thus infers that the presence of bioactive components may be the principle behind the...

Carbuncle is a serious skin disease that affects tribal communities very quickly. The disease is generally caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, or Streptococcus pyogens. Due to increasing drug resistance in these bacterial strains, it has become very difficult to treat carbuncle with modern antibiotics. The information about tribal peoples using invasive weeds to treat carbuncle is empirical due to the lack of scientific validation. In this review, we focused on the antibacterial potential of invasive weeds used for the treatment of carbuncle in Purulia district of West Bengal, India. Studies by many researchers showed that those invasive weeds strongly inhibited Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and many other pathogenic bacterial strains. So, this review work scientifically validates the use of invasive weeds for the treatment of carbuncle by tribal peoples of Purulia. This review work will also help in the discovery of new antimicrobial agents from invasive weeds and introducing them to the modern day’s...

Penetrating biomolecules by ultrasonic techniques is an innovative and influential tool for characterizing their physicochemical properties. Peptides have been used as extensive applications in drug construction and as an ingredient in nutritional complements. An investigation based on the behavior of the promulgation of ultrasonic waves in solids and the liquid system is now rather well recognized as an effective means for scrutinizing certain physical properties of the materials. The data attained from ultrasonic proliferation parameters such as ultrasonic velocity, density, viscosity, etc. and additional variation with a concentration of one of the modules of a medium are useful in consideration of the nature of molecular interaction in terms of physical parameters. Owing to the sensitivity to very low populace densities at high energy circumstances, ultrasonic methods have been preferred and are testified to be corresponding to other techniques. An exhaustive study of literature exposes that the ternary solutions and liquid mixtures were premeditated and reported by different inventors. They testified on the nature of forces elaborate in the formation...

Adaptation of marine actinobacteria to extreme climatic conditions such as high salinity, high pressure and high temperature has modified their physiological conditions to survive and elaborate novel bioactive metabolites. Among the different actinobacterial strains isolated from coastal regions of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, one potent strain with broad-spectrum antagonistic activity was found and identified as Streptomyces rectiverticillatus VJMS-8. Attempts were made to optimize the cultural parameters for an enhanced yield of antimicrobial metabolite production. Production of bioactive metabolites by the strain was high in tryptone yeast extract dextrose broth as compared to the other media tested. The strain utilized galactose and tryptone as good carbon and nitrogen sources for the elaboration of bioactive metabolites. The optimum temperature and pH for bioactive metabolite production by the strain were recorded as 35 °C and 7.0, respectively. NaCl @ 5% supported high pro-duction of bioactive metabolites. The secondary metabolites produced by the strain grown under optimal conditions exhibited high antagonistic activity against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well...
