The methods of extraction, separation and analysis of alkaloids and indole glucosinolates (GLs) ofIsatis tinctoria were reviewed. Different analytical approaches such as High-pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Liquid Chromatography with Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LC/ESI/MS), Electrospray Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance...

In recent years, oxidative stress and free radicals have been implicated in impaired wound healing. Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medik., Malvaceae, and Wrightia tinctoria R. Br., Apocynaceae, plants widely used in Ayurveda, possesses anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The present study was undertaken to assess the potential of petroleum ether and methanol extracts in wound healing in W...

Indigofera tinctoria was permeabilized with 20% methanol (v/v) at 25 ◦C and released 8 ± 2 μg indigo g−1 dry plant material (excluding roots). This is equivalent to 42 ± 11% of the total indican within the cells. The plants began to recover after 2 weeks.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a slowly progressive disease characterized by the overproduction of granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils). A blood smear shows moderate elevations in white blood cell counts that may persist for years and be benign. Platelets are increased in number, although their function is impaired, resulting in symptoms of easy bleeding (purpura, swoll...

We discuss a famous problem about right triangles with rational side lengths. This elementarysounding problem is still not completely solved; the last remaining step involves the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, which is one of the most important open problems in number theory (right up there with the Riemann hypothesis). 6.
