The aerial part of Plumbago indica L. (family: Plumbaginaceae) was studied to fix the parameters for pharmacognostical standards. The results of organoleptic study offer a scientific basis for the use of Plumbago indica L. which possess characters like green colour, characteristic odour, mucilaginous and slightly bitter taste. The fluorescence analysis under visible UV light and under UV light by treatment with different chemical reagents showed different colour changes. These created an interest to test the possible phytochemical activity of the plant. In the screening process of Plumbago indica L. indicate the presence of Reducing sugars , Alkaloids, Steroids, Flavonoids and Gums. The Pharmacognostic study was performed by using standard procedure. Further, detailed studies are needed to know whether in-vivo administration of the extracts is beneficial for patients.Keywords

The cytotoxic activity of ethanol extract of Leea indica (Burm. f.) Merr., (Family: Leeaceae) leaf has been investigated in the present study. The cytotoxic activity of the L. indica ethanol extract was assessed by brine shrimp lethality bioassay method. In brine shrimp lethality bioassay LC50 value of L. indica ethanol extract was found 2.4771μg/ml with 95% confidence limit where the lower and upper limits were 2.2561 and 2.6981 μg/ml respectively, which indicates that the leaf extract has promising cytotoxic effect. The present study demonstrates that ethanol extract of L. indica leaf has significant cytotoxic effect.Keywords

The main objective of the present study was to determine the methanolic extract of Plumbago indica L. for antifungal activity. To determine the antifungal activity, agar disc diffusion method was used. The antifungal activity of the extracts was compared with standard drug Fluconazole (500 μg/disc). The methanol extract of Plumbago indica L. showed very good antifungal activity ranging from zone of inhibition (10.0-27.0) mm and Candida albicans was the most susceptible fungal strain of the methanolic extract of. Plumbago indica L .Due to these promising results, further in vivo studies over Plumbago indica L. must be conducted.Keywords

The present study was designed to investigate Analgesic activity of methanolic extract of Alpinia conchigera Griff, using Acetic Acid Induced Writhing method. Methanolic extract was administered intraperitoneally at doses of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg to Young Swiss-albino mice. Methanol Extract of Alpinia conchigera Griff showed significant inhibition in pain response induced by thermal and mechanical stimuli in dose dependent manner. The obtained results provide promising baseline information for the potential use of these crude extract in the treatment of pain.Keywords

DMBA is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon which may be used as cancer initiator and croton oil is used as cancer promoter in murine skin which composed of phorbol esters. Formation of stable DMBA-DNA adduct can lead to the induction of mutation that activate proto-oncogen or inactivate tumor suppressor genes as an important event during tumor initiation. In mouse skin the promotion process like increased cell proliferation, suppression of apoatosis and induction of the production of ROS and RNS that cause increase membrane lipid peroxidation and decrease cellular antioxidant stores. ROS plays an important role in the process of mutagenesis and carcinogenesis specially tumor promotion. The main aim and rationally of this ontological design is very potent for screening of new cancer chemopreventive agents as well as anticancer drug development.Keywords

A xenobiotic is a compound that is foreign to the body. Xenobiotics can produce a variety of biological effects, including pharmacologic responses, toxicity, genes, immunologic reactions and cancer. Oxidative stress is a leading cause to damage cells by oxidation. The rate at which oxidative damage is induced (input) and the rate at which it is efficiently repaired and removed (output). A free radical is an atom or molecule that has one or more unpaired electron(s). These are highly reactive species capable of wide spread, indiscriminate oxidation and peroxidation of proteins, lipids and DNA which can lead to significant cellular damage and even tissue and/or organ failure. Antioxidants are molecules that slow or prevent the oxidation other chemicals. Oxidation reactions can involve the production of free radicals which can form dangerous chain reactions. Antioxidants can terminate these chain reactions by removing radical intermediates and can inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves. Antioxidants are often reducing agents such as thiols or phenols. Therefore, we need antioxidants to ensure our defence mechanism for neutralizing harmful radicals.Keywords
