Development and characterization of spheroidal antidiabetic polyherbal formulation from fresh vegetable juice: A novel approach.

Polyherbal Formulations (PHF) were developed by combining fruit juices of Momordica charantia, Cucumis sativus, and Solanum lycopersicum in different ratios and optimized through Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) model. PHF-C pretreated rats showed the highest reduction of Serum Glucose Levels (SGL) after 60 min of glucose administration. PHF-C was incorporated into spheroids using fresh juice (FJS) and lyophilized powder (LPS) of selected plants.

Hepatoprotective potential of antioxidant potent fraction from Linn. (whole plant) in CCl challenged rats.

The aim of the present study was to isolate hepatoprotective component from Linn. (whole plant) against CCl-induced hepatotoxicity (HepG2 cells) and (rats) model. Antioxidant activity of hydro alcoholic extract and its fractions petroleum ether fraction (PEF), ethyl acetate fraction (EAF), -butanol fraction (NBF) and aqueous fraction (AF) were determined by DPPH and NO radicals scavenging assay.

Neuroprotective potential of antioxidant potent fractions from Convolvulus pluricaulis Chois. in 3-nitropropionic acid challenged rats.

Objective: To isolate the neuroprotective component from Convolvulus pluricaulis Chois. (Convolvulaceae) which can be used as a lead molecule in the treatment of Huntington's disease (HD).

Methods: The methanolic extract of whole plant was fractionated into four fractions; chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and aqueous fraction.

Comparative pharmacognosy of Pashanbhed.

Background: Pashanbhed is a commercially available diuretic and lithotropic drug, used to treat renal problems. It is a controversial name as it is assigned to various plants such as Bergenia ligulata, Kalanchoe pinnata, Coleus aromaticus and Rotula aquatica.

Objective: To perform the comparative preliminary phytochemical screening, diuretic activity, and thin layer chromatography (TLC) finger printing profile of three plants (B.

Antiepileptic potential of Anisomeles indica (Linn.) Kuntze aerial parts in pentylenetetrazole-induced experimental convulsions in Wistar rats.

The chloroform (4.20% w/w), ethyl acetate (4.23% w/w) and aqueous decoction (12.

Development of polyherbal antidiabetic formulation encapsulated in the phospholipids vesicle system.

Multifactorial metabolic diseases, for instance diabetes develop several complications like hyperlipidemia, hepatic toxicity, immunodeficiency etc., Hence, instead of mono-drug therapy the management of the disease requires the combination of herbs. Marketed herbal drugs comprise of irrational combinations, which makes their quality control more difficult.

Anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous extract of Mirabilis jalapa Linn. leaves.

Background: Theobjective of the present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of aqueous extract of Mirabilis jalapa Linn. (MJL)(Nyctaginaceae) leaves for scientific validation of the folklore claim of the plant. The leaves are used as traditional folk medicine in the south of Brazil to treat inflammatory and painful diseases.

Antiepileptic potential of flavonoids fraction from the leaves of Anisomeles malabarica.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The plant Chodara (Anisomeles malabarica R.Br. Family: Lamiaceae) has numerous therapeutic utilities in folk medicine.

Bronchospasm potentiating effect of methanolic extract of Ficus religiosa fruits in guinea pigs.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The sacred tree Peepal (Ficus religiosa family: Moraceae) has numerous therapeutic utility in folk medicine.

Aim Of The Study: It has been reported to be used in ethno medical treatment of asthma and also in epilepsy due to its high serotonin content, which has been implicated in pathophysiology of asthma, this led us to carry out the present study.

Materials And Methods: The in vivo studies of histamine induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs and in vitro isolated guinea pig tracheal chain and ileum preparation.
