Background: is a multipurpose plant known for its remedial properties but the antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity of its pods remained unexplored.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity of n-hexane (ANPH) and methanol (ANPM) extracts of pods to scientifically validate their medicinal claims.
Methods: After the pharmacognostic evaluation of pods, tests were carried out to estimate phenolic and flavonoid content and antimicrobial potential.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) and L-arginine may protect against nephrotoxicity caused by cisplatin, a common chemotherapy drug, in rats.
- Rats were treated with cisplatin and then given either NaHS, L-arginine, or both for 28 days, with various biological samples collected for analysis.
- Results showed that both treatments improved kidney function and reduced oxidative stress markers, with the combination of NaHS and L-arginine providing the best protective effects against cisplatin toxicity.
Metal complexes of drug are used to inhibit growth of pathogenic microorganisms and reduces drug resistance. Moxifloxacin is a dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 4 generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic that has tendency to bind with metal ions. In current study four moxifloxacin-metal complexes i.
