An Insight into the Combination of Probiotics and their Implications for Human Health.

Over 100-1000 microbial species reside in the human gut, where they predominantly influence the host's internal environment and, thus, have a significant impact on host health. Probiotics are best characterized as a microbe or a group of microbes that reside in the gut and support the body's internal microbiota. Probiotics are linked to increased health advantages, including better immune function, improved nutritional absorption, and protection against cancer and heart-related illnesses.

Validated High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Method and Stability Study of Linalool in the Volatile Oil of the Rhizomes of Homalomena aromatica Schott.

Homalomena aromatica is a herb of tremendous ethnomedicinal importance to various communities residing in northeast India. In this study, a high-performance thin-layer chromatography-based densitometric method was developed for identification, quantification and stability study of linalool. Mass spectrometry was hyphenated to HPTLC for streamlining the method.

Zederone Improves the Fecal Microbial Profile in Dementia Induced Rat Model: A First Report.

Background: Dementia correlates with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal and cerebrovascular diseases. There are supporting shreds of evidence on the pharmacological activity of (Zingiberaceae family) for its antioxidant, antidepressant, analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anti-acetylcholinesterase effect.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the fecal microbial profile in Zederone treated demented rat model.

Analysing fractions and essential oil for neuroprotective potential against anxiety, depression, and amnesia.

Scientific pieces of evidence support the pharmacological activity of for its antidepressant, analgesic, anticonvulsant and antioxidant effect. Here, we evaluate the bioactivity of essential oil and the various polarity-based solvent partitioned fractions obtained from for anti-amnesia, anxiolytic and antidepressant activities using Elevated plus maze and Morris water maze models. The cold maceration technique using methanol was adopted for extraction from dried powdered rhizomes and essential oil was extracted by hydrodistillation method.

Development and Validation of High-Performance Thin-layer Chromatographic Method for Quantification of Berberine in Rhizomes of Coptis teeta Wall, an Endangered Species Collected from Arunachal Pradesh, India.

The high polarity of the protoberberine alkaloids present in Coptis teeta has made it difficult to quantify the alkaloids. This study was designed to develop and validate a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) densitometric-based method using high-performance thin-layer chromatography for quantification of berberine. The separation was achieved in a solvent system consisting of butanol:ethyl acetate:formic acid:water by volume on TLC aluminum plate precoated with silica gel 60 F254.

Study of the Effect of Dillenia indica Fruit Mucilage on the Properties of Metformin Hydrochloride Loaded Spray Dried Microspheres.

Natural materials are preferred over synthetic counterparts because of their biodegradable and biocompatible nature. The present work was proposed to utilize mucilage from natural source for the development of controlled release formulation of metformin hydrochloride. Natural mucilaginous substance extracted from Dillenia indica L.

Formulation and in vitro evaluation of metformin hydrochloride loaded microspheres prepared with polysaccharide extracted from natural sources.

The present work envisages utilisation of biodegradable and biocompatible material from natural sources for the development of controlled release microspheres of metformin hydrochloride (MetH). Natural polysaccharides extracted from Dillenia indica L. (DI), Abelmoschus esculentus L.

Development and characterisation of metformin loaded spray dried Bora rice microspheres.

Bora rice, a glutinous rice, is grown in Assam (a north eastern state of India) and is used traditionally for various purposes. The rationale of this study was to prepare and to assess Metformin loaded mucoadhesive spray dried microspheres using locally grown Bora rice powder. Metformin loaded microspheres were prepared using Bora rice and sodium alginate by spray drying method.
