The effect of various solvent extracts of Gelidiella acerosa on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activities was investigated. AChE and BuChE inhibitory activities were analyzed by spectrophotometric method. Phytochemical screening of the compounds present in the solvent extracts was done qualitatively. Characterization of the compounds present in the benzene extract...

India being a rich and varied flora of medicinal plants since the Vedic period. The present study deals with the scientific validation of Ficus racemosa Linn. with special reference to its pharmacognostical and phytochemical investigations. This is commonly known as gular, fig and is known to have medicinal properties, also even used as home remedies in the rural and the remotest parts of the I...

The preliminary phytochemical screening of the root of Clerodendrum baronianum and antimicrobial activities of the crude extract in various solvent systems were determined. A pure colorless needle shape crystal compound (CB) was separated by thin layer and column chromatographic methods. The yield is found to be (10.3 mg %) based upon the ethyl acetate crude extract. The melting point of this c...

Generally the medicinal plants consist of more phytochemicals and all of them are secondary metabolites. These phytochemicals have the ability to produce physiological changes on the human body. The phytochemicals have various complex substances. Keeping this view in mind the present investigation was carried out in Canthium parviflorum seed material in comparison with in-vitro leaf callus mate...

Objective: The present study was aimed to find out the central and peripheral analgesic activity of aqueous leaf extract of Solanum melongena Linn (AESML) in experimental animals. Methods: Preliminary phytochemical analysis of AESML was performed by chemical tests. The central analgesic activity was measured by tail flick method in Wistar rats and peripheral analgesic activity was measured by a...

Plant medicine is the oldest system of medicine in India known as Ayurveda which is gaining greater importance in recent years. In this system crude drugs are used, which may be adulterated by similar kind of plants which may be harmful. To check this adulteration pharmacognostic analysis is more reliable compared to other methods. For identification and authentication of crude drugs pharmacogn...
