Introduction There are so many promising plant based chemical constituents are present which act as alternative therapy for the control of diabetes. But due to lack of its proper quality control parameters they are not widely used. Mangiferin is a xanthone glucoside and active phytochemical principle which is present Mangifera Indica. Studies suggest that mangiferin, xanthone compound possesses...

Solanum nigrum L., is traditionally used for the management of the various liver disorders. Investigating the effect of polarity based fractionation of S. nigrum for its hepatoprotective effect on Hep G2 cells in vitro to provide base of its activity by quantifying in steroidal glycosides responsible for hepatoprotective potential. A new UPLC-ESI-MS/MS method following a high performance thin l...

Dashmulakwatha, a preparation of Dashmula official in the Ayurvedic Formulary, was estimated for its phytosterol content by HPTLC method. The preparation was found to contain 7.165% W/W of phytosterols with respect to β-sitosterol as standard.

Our previous studies showed that various extracts of Persian shallot (Allium hirtifolium) have anti- angiogenic effects. This study has been undertaken to isolate and identify the major effective anti- angiogeneic sub-fraction of shallot. After preparation of the 50% hydroalcoholic extract of shallot bulbs, the extract was successively fractionated into n- hexane, ethyl acetate, n- butanol and ...

In Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine the leaf of Ghritkumari (Lat: Aloe vera; Fam: Liliaceae ) has been extensively used as a cathartic agent to treat severe stomach constipation. In order to develop reliable quality control marker for quality evaluation and to check the commercial samples of Aloe vera for authenticity and purity, its detailed chemical and HPTLC analysis has been done. The ca...

UNLABELLED Glycosphingolipids are integral constituents of cellular membrane, arranged in rafts, and with neoplastic cell anti-social behavior, like uncontrolled cell growth, invasiveness, and metastatic potential. AIM However, there are few studies about glycosphingolipids (GSL) expression in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Since GSL are known to be tumor-associated markers we decided to perf...

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are complex macromolecules on cell membranes that have been shown to play a role in neutrophil differentiation, activation, phagocytosis, and adhesion to both microorganisms and vascular endothelium. Because GSLs are often cryptic antigens on cell membranes, little is known regarding GSL expression in early myelopoiesis. To study the latter, myeloblasts were collected ...

A new, simple, precise, and rapid high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for the analysis of commercial emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations of cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin. A known amount of reference grade synthetic pyrethroid and its EC formulation was subjected to TLC, and the amount of pesticide present in the active ingred...
