The scientific basis for the statement that plants and their active constituents play an important role in the prevention diseases is continuously advancing. In fact the origin of many therapeutic substances from the genus Wedelia. It is an interesting source of potential bioactive molecules, as iridoids compounds, flavonoids, diterpenoids derivatives, phytosteroids, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, Hepatoprotective activity, analgesic and antihistamine, Anti-implantation, antiasthmatic activities and anticancer activity. This work reviews the pharmacological evidence of extracts of plants from the genus Wedelia, giving an overview of the most studied biological effects and the known phytochemical composition. Although more studies are necessary, Wedelia exhibits proven potential to become of important pharmacological interest.Keywords

A study on the feeding behaviour of three species of Chlaenius and two species of Calosoma (Coleoptera: Carabidae), the caterpillar and semi-looper hunting predatory ground beetles in agro-ecosystems, was carried out under laboratory conditions in the Department of Entomology, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur, during September to November, 2016. The carabid predator species and the second/ third instar tobacco caterpillar prey relationship followed the typical Holling’s Type II functional response. Of the three species of Chlaenius evaluated, Chlaenius udaipurensis Chanu and Swaminathan consumed the maximum prey with a preference for the second instar tobacco caterpillar. Increase in second instar caterpillar prey density from 1 to 5 resulted in an increase in mean prey consumption up to 4.4 in 24 hours. Under enhanced prey provision from 5 to 25 to Ch. udaipurensis the maximum mean consumption was 9.0; whereas, the maximum third instar caterpillar consumption was only 2.0 in 24 hours. Both species of Calosoma could kill 11 to 13 third instar tobacco caterpillars per day. Increased prey density evinced a gradual decreasing trend in the per cent feeding propensity with little variation among the species for both the genera of carabids. The relationship between prey consumption and the body mass increase for the species of Chlaenius showed significant positive correlation (r = 0.902 for II instar prey and r = 0.711 for III instar prey); similarly, the relationship for Calosoma species had significant positive correlation (r = 0.795).Keywords

The present study was carried out for evaluation of TLC fingerprint profiles of volatile oils/essential oils of the each ingredient of the polyherbal formulation of Trikatu churna and comparison of the volatile oil of the finished product or formulation as such. Essential oils/volatile oil contents are characteristic to the ingredients or raw botanicals to identify them easily. In the raw botanicals, where ever its presence is possible and its verification through the TLC/HPTLC fingerprint profile is the one of the best ways to identify and evaluate the quality of the finished formulation in the course of development of a standardization protocol as a quality control tool.Keywords
