Objective: To evaluate the antiarthritic activity of Ajuga bracteosa using albino rats.
Methods: The antiarthritic activity of 70% ethanolic extract of Ajuga bracteosa (EEAB) was evaluated against turpentine oil- and formaldehyde- induced acute non immunological and complete freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced chronic immunological arthritis in albino rats.
Results: EEAB showed a significant (P<0.05) and dose dependent inhibitory effect against acute and chronic models of arthritis. EEAB exhibited better antiarthritic activity than the standard aspirin.
Conclusions: EEAB exhibits a significant and promising antiarthritic activity against acute and chronic arthritis and supports the traditional use of Ajuga bracteosa for rheumatism and other inflammatory diseases.

() has tremendous medicinal value with long-established disease curing potential. The present study aimed to assess the hepatoprotective potential of extracts in paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. Group I (normal control) were treated with saline 1 ml/kg BW orally for 7 days while Group II (toxicant control) received saline 1 ml/kg BW for 6 days and Paracetamol (1000 mg/kg BW) on day7of the treatment.

In this study, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were bioreduced from Ajuga bracteosa, a medicinal herb known for its therapeutic properties against various diseases. Different fractions of the plant extract were used, including the methanolic fraction (ABMF), the n-hexane fraction (ABHF), the chloroform fraction (ABCF), and the aqueous extract for AuNPs synthesis. The characterization of AuNPs was performed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, and TEM.

Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluates the antioxidant, antibacterial, and wound healing properties of Ajugarin I and another unspecified extract from the family Lamiaceae, commonly known as kauri booti.
- - The research found that the other extract showed superior antioxidant abilities and antibacterial activity against more strains than Ajugarin I, while both substances were deemed non-toxic.
- - In wound healing tests, the other extract demonstrated significantly better results in reducing wound size and healing time in mice compared to Ajugarin I, suggesting its potential as a viable option for wound healing treatments.

Introduction: The potential contamination of herbal medicinal products poses a significant concern for consumer health. Given the limited availability of genetic information concerning Ajuga species, it becomes imperative to incorporate supplementary molecular markers to enhance and ensure accurate species identification.
Methods: In this study, the chloroplast (cp) genomes of seven species of the genus Ajuag were sequenced, de novo assembled and characterized.
