Multiple shoots were induced from nodal segments and shoot apices of Rauvolfia serpentina and MS medium containing 1.0 mg/l BA and 0.1 mg/l NAA was found to give the best shoot proliferation rate. Callus formed at cut bases of the explants which produced shoots when subcultured on media containing low concentration of BA (0.5 or 0.1 mg/l) and NAA (0.1 mg/l). The in vitro proliferated shoots were rooted and later transferred to the soil.

Article Synopsis
- Rauvolfia serpentina roots are used in Southeast Asian herbal medicine for various ailments including snake bites, fever, hypertension, and dysentery.
- The study evaluated the content of key active ingredients (reserpine, ajmaline, and ajmalicine) in the roots processed using different methods on plants cultivated in Japan.
- Results showed that a 30-minute drum mixer washing method is efficient for root processing, and active ingredient content is consistent across different root sizes, indicating uniform quality of the crude drug.

The introduction of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1)-based therapies has greatly improved the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), as they ensure good blood glucose control and promote weight loss. Ingestion of standardized herbal remedies that promote the same endogenous metabolic processes affected by the GLP-1-based treatments could provide cheaper alternatives in low- and middle-income countries, where there is currently an increase in the incidence of T2D. The focus in this study was to determine quality control parameters and the prime factors for the Rauvolfia-Citrus tea (RC-tea), as used in Nigerian traditional medicine to treat T2D.

Objective: To isolate bioactive compounds from the endophytic fungus isolated from , and investigate their pharmacological activities.
Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by combining with ODS column chromatography, silica gel column chromatography and by performing semipreparative HPLC. Their structures were established on the basis of 1D NMR (H-NMR and C-NMR) and 2D NMR (H-H COSY, HSQC, HMBC and NOESY), as well as HRESIMS and comparison with literature data.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease of the digestive tract. Rauwolfia polysaccharide (Rau) has therapeutic effects on colitis in mice, but its mechanism of action needs to be further clarified. In the study, we explored the effect of Rau on the UC cell model induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
