In the present study deals with the antimicrobial properties of the Andrographis neesiana were tested against five human bacterial pathogens by using five various solvent namely, ethanol, methanol, acetone, chloroform and petroleum ether. The maximum antimicrobial activity was noted in petroleum ether extracts of stem showed activity against Escherichia coli (16mm) and the minimum was recorded ...

Andrographolide and wedelolactone are active components of Andrographis paniculata and Eclipta alba, respectively. The extracts of these plants are used in many traditional hepatoprotective formulations. An attempt has been made to develop an accurate, precise and specific HPTLC method to quantify simultaneously both these chemical markers of diversified chemical structures in different dosage ...

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that has recently engendered large epidemics around the world. There is no specific antiviral for treatment of patients infected with CHIKV, and development of compounds with significant anti-CHIKV activity that can be further developed to a practical therapy is urgently required. Andrographolide is derived from Andrographis p...

The phytochemical, antimicrobial activity against gram negative and positive bacteria and fungi, DPPH radical scavenging and FRAP assay antioxidant activities of aqueous and organic crude extracts of Millingtonia hortensis, Andrographis paniculata, Aegle marmelos, Coccinia grandis, Tinospora cordifolia, Achyranthus aspera was studied invitro. The phytochemical screening of crude plant extracts ...

The dichloromethane (DCM) extract of Andrographis paniculata Nees was tested for cardiovascular activity. The extract significantly reduced coronary perfusion pressure by up to 24.5 ± 3.0 mm Hg at a 3 mg dose and also reduced heart rate by up to 49.5 ± 11.4 beats/minute at this dose. Five labdane diterpenes, 14-deoxy-12-hydroxyandrographolide (1), 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (2), 14...

Plant Flavonoids are considered as naturally occurring bioactive compounds. In the present study, chitosan and Aspergillus niger elicitors were used as chemical and fungal elicitors, respectively. The cell suspension culture of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees was established in 50 ml MS media supplemented with 2,4-D: BAP (1.0:0.5 mg/l) and treated with chitosan and Aspergillus niger eli...

The moisture content present in human skin makes it look young and the use of moisturizer results in fastening the moisture with a surface film of oil. Acne vulgaris is one of the most commonly seen diseases among the youth. The present study is focused on the use of herbs as moisturizer for acne treatment. The anti-acne moisturizer was formulated from herbal crude extracts and investigated the...
