Most of the disease is growing resistace from thr applied drugs. However, in this view people search for cheap and effective drugs for their cure. Cyanobacteria in this respect can help in curing disease with cheap and effective manner. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotic microorganism. From ancient time cyanobacteria were used as food and fodder. However, it is notorious for toxin pro...

Induced mutagenesis is best approach for creation of genetic variability but most of interest is paid towards crop plants with only a few exceptions. But even widely used medicinal plants could receive a little attention in this direction. Catharanthus roseus is an important plant medicinal plant yielding antihypertensive alkaloid ajmalcine and anticancerous alkaloid vincristine and vinblastine...

Bromelain belongs to a group of protein digesting enzymes obtained commercially from the fruit or stem of pineapple. Fruit bromelain and stem bromelainare prepared differently and they contain different enzymatic composition. "Bromelain" refers usually to the "stem bromelain." Bromelain is a mixture of different thiol endopeptidases and other components like phosphatase, glucosidase, peroxidase...

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a widely used leafy vegetable belonging to the family Asteraceae (2n = 18). It is nutritionally rich with medicinal property and well known for its high vitamin A content, and minerals like calcium and iron. This is the only crop which is rich in Lactupicrin and act as an anticancerous as well as, suitable candidate for the production and delivery of therapeutic p...

The marine-derived Scopulariopsis brevicaulis strain LF580 produces scopularides A and B, which have anticancerous properties. We carried out genome sequencing using three next-generation DNA sequencing methods. De novo hybrid assembly yielded 621 scaffolds with a total size of 32.2 Mb and 16298 putative gene models. We identified a large non-ribosomal peptide synthetase gene (nrps1) and suppor...

is known as the bitter gourd or melon and a member of family Cucurbitaceae. It medicinal plant its fruit consumed food also. This grown in tropical well subtropical areas around world, mainly Asia, India, China, South America Brazil. Due to presence bioactive compounds like charantin, α-momorcharin cucurbitacins, some which possess potent biological actions, this used folk medicine all over wor...

The use of nitrogen mustards as chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of certain neoplastic diseases has been well established by a large number of workers (Montgomery, 1959; Creech, Breuninger, Hankwitz, Polsky & Wilson, 1960; Ross, 1962). A large number of different compounds have been screened in various test systems in vitro and in vivo for anticancerous, antibacterial, antimicrobial and...
