Dandruff caused by Malassezia spp is controlled by antifungal agents. In the present study four medicinal plantsTerminalia bellerica, Terminalia chebula, Emblica officinalis and Lantana camarawere selected to check their antifungal activity. Their efficacy was tested using different concentrations of extracts in various solvents. The antifungal activity of the plant extracts was determined by w...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antipsychotic potential of Terminalia bellerica in experimental animal models. Male Wistar rats (180220 g) and Albino mice (25-30 g) were used for the study. The antipsychotic effect of the Terminalia bellerica was evaluated on haloperidol induced catalepsy, cooks pole climbing apparatus, locomotor activity on photoactometer and ketamine induced ...

This study describes the antisecretory and analgesic activities of the crude extract of Terminalia bellerica (Tb.Cr). T. bellerica extract inhibited the castor oil-induced intestinal fluid secretion in mice at the dose range of 300 1000 mg/kg. The extract also dose-dependently (50 100 mg/kg) reduced the numbers of acetic acid-mediated writhes in mice. These results indicate that T. bellerica ex...

The healing activity of the ethanol extracts of Piper betel, Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellerica, and Terminalia chebula against the indomethacin-induced stomach ulceration has been studied and compared with that of misoprostol. Compared to autohealing, all the drugs accelerated the healing process, albeit to different extents. The relative healing activities of the extracts was P. betel>...

MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 110 eligible subjects with hyperuricemia were enrolled and randomized to either of the five treatment groups - T. chebula 500 mg...

The petroleum ether (PE), chloroform (CH), ethanol (ETH) and water extracts of Terminalia bellerica and T. chebula fruits were evaluated for their analgesic activity using the tail immersion model in mice. The ethanolic extracts of both the plants exhibited analgesic response at 200,400 and 800mg/kg. The studies were further carried for 15 days to evaluate the effect of these extracts in chroni...

AIM OF THE STUDY The present investigation was carried out to provide the pharmacological basis for the medicinal use of Terminalia bellerica in hyperactive gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Crude extract of Terminalia bellerica fruit (Tb.Cr) was studied in in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Tb.Cr caused relaxation of spontaneous contractions in isolated rabbit je...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activities of medicinal plants. The antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of three medicinal plants (Swertia chirata, Terminalia bellerica and Zanthoxylum armatum) were tested against Gentamicin (standard drug) on eleven gram positive and seventeen gram negative bacteria by agar well method. It was r...
