Article Abstract

In an objective to generate effective carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) specific anti-tumor immune response in Swiss mice, CEA was presented using macrophages with adjuvant help from neem leaf glycoprotein (NLGP). Such vaccination generates significantly higher antibody (IgG2a) and T cell response than immunization protocol without NLGP. NLGP controls the function of both B cells and macrophages by altering the expressions of various regulatory molecules, like, CD19, CD11b, etc. NLGP also directs CEA vaccination towards Th1 bias, by modulating cytokine secretion. This NLGP-generated anti-CEA immune response would be effective as a vaccine to lyse CEA(+) tumors in vitro and in vivo.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the cytotoxicity of 25% of neem leaf extract (), 20% of guava leaf extracts (), and 20% of cinnamon extract () irrigants at three intervals of time.

Methodology: Four groups were formed ( = 15), Group 1 (control group) - normal saline solution, Group 2 - 25% of neem extract, Group 3 - 20% of guava extract, and Group 4 - 20% of cinnamon extract. Each group was further divided into three subgroups based on intervals ( = 5).

The current study was designed to investigate the effect of A. indica (Neem) leaf extracts (ethanolic and aqueous) in yeast-induced pyrexia and acetic acid-induced writhing in rat models to evaluate the antipyretic and analgesic biomarkers and its phytochemical screening with computational analysis. For the antipyretic activity model 60 albino rats (160-200g) of either sex were divided into 4 groups and all groups were injected with yeast to induce pyrexia.

Article Synopsis
  • Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a serious disease that affects both humans and animals, causing severe health issues, and this study explores the medicinal properties of plant extracts used to treat it.
  • The ethanol extracts from fruit (CFE), neem leaves (NLE), and stem bark (NSBE) showed significant antitrypanosomal activity, with CFE being the most effective in inhibiting the parasite, while all extracts were non-toxic to liver cells.
  • Despite NSBE having the highest antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the study found that CFE and NLE have different mechanisms leading to their superior antitrypanosomal effects, leading to ongoing research on CFE’s constituents for potential new treatments
