Seaweeds are one of the most important marine resources of the world that contain various biologically active compounds which serve as a component for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry. Recently there is a growing interest on the discovery of natural phytochemicals which are generally safer than synthetic chemicals. Hence the present investigation was carried out to screen bioactive com...

In the present work, the ethanol extract of the barks of Phyllanthus acidus L. (Family: Euphorbiaceae) were investigated for preliminary phytochemical screening, cytotoxicity and antibacterial activities. The presence of phytochemical constituents was identified by characteristic changes using standard procedure. Brine shrimp lethality (BSL) bioassay was used to investigate the cytotoxic effect...

Traditional medicine or folk medicine practices are based on the use of plants and plant extracts. Standardization and phytochemical investigation of the extract plays a very important role in determining the active constituents and relative purity. The objective of the present study is to investigate the phytochemical constituents, along with antioxidant evaluation and standardization of nelum...

Traditional medicine also known as indigenous or folk medicine comprises medical knowledge systems that developed over generations within various societies before the era of modern medicine. Traditional medicines are prepared from a single plant or combination of more than one plant. Indian contribution to herbal market and emphasis on novel research is continuously increasing. Hence in the pre...

Many plants have been known to synthesize active secondary metabolites to protect themselves from microbial attack which have potential therapeutic applications. The soxhlet extracts of leaf and stem of Iresine herbstii using ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane and petroleum ether were investigated for their phytochemical and antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria and compared with th...
