Background: The hepatic injury due to oxidative stress was ameliorated through administration of an aqueous extract of Eclipta alba leaves and suggested that wedelolactone and demethylwedelolactone were the possible components of Eclipta alba behind the protective effect on liver as well as against liver disorders.
Objective: To study the hepato-protective effects of Eclipta alba on high fatty diet treated experimental models.
Material And Methods: A total of 30 adult albino rats of Wistar strain weighing 165-215 grams, from the animal house of the Basaveshwara Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Chitradurga, were used for the present study: group 1 included animals fed with normal diet (control); group 2, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks; group 3, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by one week post treatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet; group 4, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by two weeks post-treatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet; and group 5, animals treated with hyperlipidemic diet for eight weeks, followed by three weeks posttreatment of Eclipta alba with normal diet.

Natural product drugs play a dominant role in pharmaceutical care. Nature is an attractive source of new therapeutic candidate compounds as a tremendous chemical diversity is found in millions of species of plants, animals, marine organism and micro-organism. A antifungal activity against important opportunist micro-organism and against those involved in superficial mycosis, all from nosocomial origin.

In this work, the vibrational characteristics of m-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid have been investigated and both the experimental and theoretical vibrational data indicate the presence of functional groups in the title molecule. The density functional theoretical (DFT) computations were performed at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p), LSDA/6-31G (d, p), MP2/6-31G (d, p) levels to derive the optimized geometry, vibrational wavenumbers. Furthermore, the molecular orbital calculations such as natural bond orbitals (NBO), HOMO-LUMO energy gap and Mapped molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces, The Mulliken charges, the first-order hyperpolarizability were also performed with the same level of DFT.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (TBHA) molecule have been recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1) and 3500-100 cm(-1), respectively. Optimized geometrical structure, harmonic vibrational frequencies has been computed by B3LYP level using 6-31G (d,p) and 6-311+G (d,p) basis sets. The observed FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational frequencies are analyzed and compared with theoretically predicted vibrational frequencies.
