Aim: Evaluation of effect shodhana process datura seed (Datura stramonium) antioxidant activity. Methods: The was purified with two different processes viz. cow’s urine, and milk by Dolayantra method. Antioxidant activity evaluated in-vitro 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging Ferric reducing power ability (FRPA) assay. Result: cow urine (CUD) showed a significant in inhibi...

Three flavonoidal aglycones viz; F1 (Chrysin), F2 (Kampferol) and novel F3( 3,7dimethylether quercetin), were isolated from acetone wash of fresh leaves of Datura stramomium L. Isolated compounds were identified on the basis of their physico-chemical properties, Co-TLC, H-NMR, C-NMR and CIMS specrtum. Significant cytotoxic activity against three tumor cell lines (liver, cervix & breast), was re...

The production of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) by rat peritoneal mast cells incubated with N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) oligomer-specific Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA) for 10 min in the presence of 0.3 mM Ca2+ was examined. Previously, our group reported that the incubation of rat mast cells with DSA (5 - 100 microg/ml) under similar conditions resulted in a calcium influx and histamine releas...

Hairy root culture plays an important role in investigation of alkaloid production in culture in vitro. The complexity of scientific work and the production capacity limitations associated with whole plant systems and unorganized cells can be overcome using culture of hairy roots. This paper presents an example of a strategy to produce secondary metabolites from plants, in which we investigated...

partaken of a quantity of datura leaves, prepared in the form of curry, with rice, which he afterwards acknowledged to have voluntarily taken. On admission, he lay perfectly unconscious, with severe spasmodic muscular twitchings and stertorous breathing. Skin cool; pulse about 108?, feeble. Pupils dilated and insensible to the effects of light. The stomach pump was immediately introduced, but d...

Phytochemical screening of various fractions of Datura alba showed bioactive secondary metabolites based on microbial and antioxidant activities. n-Hexane fraction showed a significant activity against three selected bacterial strains; Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus while other isolated fraction showed moderate activity. The ethyl acetate (88.89 %) and methan...

Leakages of amino acids and/or fluorescent material as functions of temperature between 15 and 40 C are reported for imbibed seeds of Avena fatua L., Lactuca sativa L., Barbarea vulgaris R. Br., Amaranthus albus L., Abutilon theophrasti Medic., Lychnis alba Mill., Daucus carota L., Setaria faberi Herrm., Setaria viridis (L.) Beauv., and Datura stramonium L. The leakage indicates prominent incre...

background: to solve the problems caused by using synthetic pesticides in agricultural fields and aquaculture ponds studies are being carried out on the feasibility of using biopesticides or plant extracts, which are less toxic. extensive research is being carried out by researchers globally to manufacture pesticides using plant extracts. the present study evaluated the effect of datura metel p...
