BACKGROUND Phyllanthus debilis (Elapitawakka) is a medicinal plant used in traditional systems of medicine in Sri Lanka. Present study was carried out to evaluate in-vitro anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative activity of the water extracts of aerial parts (AP) and roots (RP) of P.debilis plant and the role of polyphenolic compounds in view of its medicinal use. METHOD Total polyphenols, flavon...

clude some 500 species and are widespread in temperate and tropical climates. Phyllanthus species have attracted the attention of researchers for their hepatoprotective properties; an aqueous extract of Phyllanthus amarus was demonstrated to exert antihepatitis B virus effects to varying degrees. In 2003, various constituents isolated from Phyllanthus species were screened for anti-human hepati...

Emblica officinalis (Amla) accelerated cell proliferation and dedifferentiation of pigmented epithelial cells of dorsal iris and consequently induced lens regeneration in R. cyanophlyctis. Further it enhanced the percentage of lens regeneration not only in young tadpoles but also is adult frogs. Lens regeneration ability declined with the age of animals in both control as well as treated groups.

The association between Ayurveda, anti-aging and cosmeceuticals is gaining importance in the beauty, health and wellness sector. Ayurvedic cosmeceuticals date back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Modern research trends mainly revolve around principles of anti-aging activity described in Ayurveda: Vayasthapana (age defying), Varnya (brighten skin-glow), Sandhaniya (cell regeneration), Vranarop...

BACKGROUND Recently much attention has been paid to biologically active plants because of their low production cost and fewer adverse effects compared with chemical drugs. In the present investigation the bioactivity of Phyllanthus niruri ethanol and aqueous extracts was evaluated in vitro. RESULTS The ethanol extract of P. niruri showed a high level of flavonoid content (123.9 ± 0.002 mg g⁻¹...

Chebulinic acid is a phenolic compound, commonly found in the Terminalia chebula, Phyllanthus emblica, Dimocarpus longan species etc. The enhancement of Chebulinic acid was obtained from the composition of medicinal herbs by using Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) under fermentation process. The optimum results were observed for the effect of % inoculum, substrate wt, incubation period, ...

The background of the present Insilico studies, was to find out the potential protein target in Eae iuntimin (E coli) and deliver the 3 D structure and to find out the best inhibitors of the virulence protein. Alkaloids from medicinally important plant Phyllanthus emblica (Phyllantidine and Phyllanthine) were used for the above purpose using molecular drug docking techniques. The Phyllanthine, ...
