Article Synopsis
- Traditional medicine has used Hibiscus sabdariffa for various treatments, and this study analyzed its extract for producing silver nanoparticles.
- The extract contained notable amounts of phenolics (84.9 mg/gm) and flavonoids (41.50 mg/gm) and exhibited antibacterial properties against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus with a 75.15% scavenging activity.
- The silver nanoparticles were stable for 30 days, measured 21.22 nm, and showed potential cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells and anti-inflammatory effects, suggesting further research is needed for their medicinal use.
Amukkara choornam ethanolic extract (ACE) was investigated for phytochemical screening, content of total phenolics and flavonoids, in vitro radical scavenging activity (RSA), quantification of various antiulcer marker compounds (i.e., eugenol, piperine, trans-caryophyllene, and withaferine A) by a validated HPTLC method, and evaluated for its in vivo gastroprotective ability against ethanol (EtOH)-induced and pylorus ligation (PL)-induced ulcer models in rats.

Methods: Ten fractions (F1-F10) were isolated from hydro alcoholic extract of O.
Objective: To evaluate antidiabetic activity of chloroform extracts of Acacia arabica bark, Benincasa hispida fruit, Tinispora cordifolia stem, Ocimum sanctum areal parts and Jatropha curcus leaves.
Methods: The chloroform extracts of Acacia arabica bark, Benincasa hispida fruit, Tinospora cordifolia stem, aerial part of Ocimum sanctum and Jatropha curcus leaves were evaluated at different doses (250 and 500 mg/kg body weight.) for antidiabetic potentials in alloxan induced diabetic albino rats.
Pharmacognostic standardizations of powdered and anatomical sections of the Toona ciliata bark was carried out to determine its macro- and microscopical characters and also some of its quantitative standards. Externally bark are Grey to reddish-brown in colour when it is dry, 200 mm in length, 20 to 60 mm in width and 2 to 3 mm in thickness outer surface brown coloured, strong odour, bitter taste, rough and hard, double quill and curved curvature. The transverse section (T.
