Cassytha filiformis is a parasitic plant belonging to the family lauraceae. It is widely distributed in India, South Africa and Malaya. In India it is used for relief of ulcer, veneral discharge, haemorrhoids, cough and tonic. Vasorelaxing activity, cytotoxic effect and diuretic activity of Cassytha filiformis has been reported. Many phytoconstituents has been isolated from cassytha filiformis like aporphine alkaloid, oxo-aporphine alkaloidm, cassythaformine, filiformine, cathaformine, lignan, actinodophine etc. From literature survey it is revealed that there are no reports regarding the standardisation parameter for checking the identity and purity of Cassytha filiformis. So in present study standardisation of Cassytha filiformis is done on the basis of morphological evaluation, physicochemical parameter like loss on drying, ash value, extractive value, preliminary phytochemical screening. Thus these standardisation parameters will be helpful for identification of this endangering plant.

In vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract of Muntingia calabura, Basella alba and Basella rubra leaves was investigated. The extracts exhibited marked antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi. Muntingia calabura showed higher inhibitory effect against the pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli. Basella rubra showed mild inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Basella alba showed good inhibitory activity against Aspergillus niger. A Comparative study shows maximum antimicrobial activity in Muntingia calabura extract.Keywords

Polypharmacy is a common practice in elderly patients afflicted with multiple chronic conditions and is also one of the reason for various consequences like increased incidence of adverse drug reactions, decreased medication adherence and quality of life. In order to improve this condition the pharmacists have taken certain interventional measures like Medication therapy management services, educational interventions for patients. These interventions have decrease the total number of drugs taken in addition to the number of doses taken per day, decrease in the ADR, increase in medication adherence. Our objective was to carry out a study which could assess the impact of Clinical Pharmacist interventions towards polypharmacy in elderly population. A systematic study was carried out in which we included 12 articles published in MEDLINE from a period of 2010-2017.The keywords used to carry out the search were polypharmacy, intervention, deprescribing, economic outcome. Interventions were carried out on a total of 3998 patients studied from the 12 articles, we observed that 1554 patients (10 studies) showed an improvement in Clinical outcomes, whereas Humanistic outcomes were improved in 911 patients (4 studies), economic outcomes were improved in about 2694 patients (6 studies).Our study concludes that interventions carried out by pharmacist to reduce polypharmacy had a beneficial impact in the improvement on the health-care of the elderly populations.Keywords
