A novel series of sulpha/ substituted phenyl azo indoles is synthesised by the condensation reaction of N.phenacyl sulpha/ substituted phenyl amine with diazonium salt of sulpha/substituted benzene. They were characterized by IR, NMR and UV spectra and screened for their promising antituberculosis activity and antifertility activity. Keyword: indoles, sulpha/ substituted, drug, biological activ...

The effect of ethanolic extract of the whole plants of leptadenia reticulata has been studied in albino rats to explore it’s the anti-implantation and hormonal activities. A strong anti-implantation (inhibition 100%) and uterotropic activity was observed at the dose level of 300 mg /kg. No antiestrogenic activity could be detected. Keyword: Leptadenia reticulate; Antifertility; Anti-implantatio...

A careful scrutiny of the ancient literature reveals the varied well thought of and time tested measures at population control through local and oral contraceptives, abortifacients and other methods of antifertility and birth controls. This has been based on the wise knowledge of the physiology of conception, healthy methods of fertilization and conception, stressing on quality of the progeny a...

Insertion of a copper wire into the vas deferens of male rats released 4 micrograms of copper in themid portion of the vas deferens in two days time. In urethral and epidymal segments of the vas deferens copper released was less than one microgram. The present study demonstrates that the in vivo effects of 4 microgram of copper in 2 days time in the vas deferens are enough to induce antifertili...

Delayed recognition refers to significant research that is initially underappreciated and years later becomes widely acknowledged and highly regarded. Six possible cases of delayed recognition include (1) inhibin, the mate antifertility factor, (2) central nervous system drugs, (3) adrenotropic ret+ tors, (4) scanning electron microscopy, (5) afkatine phosphafase determination, and (6) aqueous ...

Physalis minima Linn. (Family  Solanaceae) is commonly known as Ground Cherry or Sunberry. It is traditionally used as diuretic, purgative, analgesic, anthelmentic, febrifuge, vermifuge, abortificient, etc. Many steroidal lactones have been identified from the plant and it has been reported to possess antifertility, hypoglycemic, cytotoxic, antiulcer, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, analgesi...
