Phytochemical screening and antioxidant, antimitotic, and antiproliferative activities of Trichodesma indicum shoot.

Background: Traditionally Trichodesma indicum has been used for its therapeutic effect in folk medicine that include anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anticancer properties. In this work, we validate the anticancer potential of the plant.

Aims: To screen the shoot extracts T.

Evaluation of toxicity of 'Vatsanabha' (Aconitum ferox, Ranunculaceae) Before and After Shodhana.

Ayurvedic preparations contain toxic elements like heavy metals and other chemicals exceeding their permissible limits. Ayurvedic method of detoxification of such products involves Shodhana. Hence, in present paper it has been decided to replace Ayurvedic Shodhana process by chemical purification method and to study the benefits and/or drawbacks of the traditional Ayurvedic Shodhana process.

RP-HPLC Method Development and Its Validation for Quantitative Determination of Rimonabant in Human Plasma.

A simple, accurate, and precise HPLC method was developed and validated for determination of rimonabant in human plasma. Following liquid-liquid extraction, chromatographic separation was accomplished using C18 column with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile : water (90 : 10, v/v), drug was detected at 260 nm using UVdetector. The LOD and LOQ were 3.

Simultaneous determination of withanolide a and bacoside a in spansules by high-performance thin-layer chromatography.

The objective of this work was to develop and validate a simple, rapid, precise, and accurate high performance thin layer chromatography method for simultaneous determination of withanolide A and bacoside A in combined dosage form. The stationary phase used was silica gel G60F(254). The mobile phase used was mixture of ethyl acetate: methanol: toluene: water (4:1:1:0.

Isolation and characterization of phytoconstituents from Chlorophytum borivilianum.

Background: The present communication deals with the identification and characterization of bioactive principles from the roots of Chlorophytum borivilianum.

Method: Methanolic extract and its fractions were used to isolate different phytoconstituents. The structures of isolated compounds were characterized and elucidated with chemical and spectroscopic techniques such as Infra Red, Nuclear Mass Resonace and Mass spectroscopy experiments.
