Scenedesnus rotundus isolated from the petroleum effluent employs alternate mechanisms of tolerance to elevated levels of Cadmium and Zinc.

Scenedesmus rotundus was isolated from metal contaminated petroleum industry effluent and its tolerance to Cadmium and Zinc was tested using different concentrations of CdCl and ZnCl ranging from 0.001 mM to 1.0 mM of Cd and 0.

Anti-inflammatory activity of dimethyl octenol and oleanene tetrol isolated from Trianthema decandra L.

Dimethyl octenol from chloroform extract and oleanene tetrol from water extract of Trianthema decandra (TD) were isolated and characterized by using HPLC, UV, FT-IR, NMR, LC-MS and CHNS, their structure were elucidated from their respective spectral data. The anti-inflammatory activity of chloroform extract, water extract, dimethyl octenol and oleanene tetrol of T. decandra were studied and underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of action were investigated in vitro and in vivo using macrophage-like cell line (RAW264.
