Antioxidant and Anti-Proliferative Effects of an Ethyl Acetate Fraction of the Hydro-Ethanolic Extract of Synedrella Nodiflora (L) GaertnObjective: Synedrella nodiflora is traditionally used in the treatment of several ailments. Pharmacologically, this plant has anticonvulsant, sedative, anti-nociceptive and anti-proliferative effects. This study further investigated S. nodiflora for its antioxidant and in vitro inhibition of cancerous cell lines. Methods: Phytochemical assays, and the DPPH radical scavenging method were employed in preliminary screening for antioxidant activities of the crude hydro-ethanolic extract (SNE) and resulting fractions. The potent ethyl acetate fraction (EAF), was further investigated for total phenol and flavonoid contents, reducing power, lipid peroxidation potential, and cytotoxic effects on human breast cancer (MCF-7), leukemic (Jurkat), and normal liver (Chang’s liver) cell lines. Results: The extract contained phenols, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, sterols, terpenoids, and alkaloids. It scavenged for DPPH with an IC50 of 114 µg/ml, whereas that of EAF was 8.9 µg/ml. EAF prevented ...

Antioxidant, analgesic and CNS depressant effects of Synedrella nodiflora2012 •
Pharmaceutical analysis of the extract of leaf of Synedrella nodiflora (family: Compositae) indicate that compounds having medicinal activity because of presence of alkaloid, gums, steroid, reducing sugar and tannins in the extract of Synedrella nodiflora. The pharmaceutical interest of these compounds coupled with the use of this plant in traditional medicine promoted us to check Synedrella nodiflora for possible antioxidant followed by reducing power determination and antioxidant activities. The dried leaves of the plant were subjected to successive extraction with ethanol, and the extract was used to investigate the activities. The hot ethanol extract of the leaves of Synedrella nodiflora showed low reducing activity. The hot ethanol extract of Synedrella nodiflora (500 µg/ disc) has less activity than the standard. Ascorbic acid is used as standard. The obtained results provide a support for the use of this plant in traditional medicine and its further investigation.

From the huge family of Euphobiceae stems a large Phyllanthus genus. The Phyllanthus genus has about 800 species world wide of which about 22 species are native to Southern Africa. A number ofthe Phyllanthus species have been reported to have history in herbal medicine systems, and studies have been done to support their use. Stemming from the South African species is Phyllanthus parvulus Sond. var garipensis, a shrub that is known botanically but, its medicinal potentials are unknown. This project focuses on the chemical and biological properties of Phyllanthus parvulus Sond. var garipensis. The phytochemical study reveals that the plant possesses some secondary metabolites namely: alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins and antraquinones. A compound lanosterol-amide linked glycoside was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction. The hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol and water extract were tested for antibacterial and antioxidant activities. All the plant extract...

Phytochemical Examination On Leaves Of Different Plants2020 •
A wide range of medicinal value is provided by the natural products which are obtained from different plants. The study of traditional medicinal plants and their therapeutic properties plays a very important role in chemistry of natural products. Due to the increasing therapeutic use of natural products interest in this area is also increasing. The focus of this work is on methodologies that include extraction, separation and identification of natural products. The work was carried out on extraction of Piper betle and Justicia gendarussa leaves by three different solvents and then the identification tests of the chemical constituents were done. Different techniques such as chromatography i.e. Column chromatography and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) as well as spectroscopic techniques were used for identification of compounds.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the antiarthritic activity of chloroform and ethanolic extracts of Synedrella nodiflora. Materials and Methods: Plant was collected and then powdered; the powdered plant was then cold macerated with 70% v/v of ethanol and chloroform for 48 h and 72 h, respectively. Both extracts, after the subsequent time, were concentrated to a syrupy mass in Soxhlet apparatus under reduced pressure and desiccated. Protein denaturation assay is based on the effect of plant extract to inhibit the happening of denaturation of protein from heat. We evaluated the potency of the plant extract to encumber the denaturation of protein. It was calculated in percentage and absorbance was studied at 660 nm. Results and Discussion: On increasing concentrations, it exhibited different percentage inhibition. Among chloroform and ethanol extract, ethanolic extract was found to be equally effective when compared to standard drug diclofenac sodium. In antidenaturation assay, the effect of plant extract was determined on the basis of its potential to inhibit the denaturation of the protein. Conclusion: Study indicates that the plant extract has the potency to exhibit antiarthritic activity and can be used to proceed with further in vivo studies and also the isolation of principle constituent.

PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF SOME MEDICINAL PLANTS2019 •
Qualitative screening for phytochemical presences using phytochemical tests of three medicinal plants viz., Annona squamosa, Citrus maxima and Boerhavia diffusa for identification of the chemical components using their methanol extract. From this present study we found out that the phytochemical investigation of Annona squamosa, Citrus maxima and Borehavia diffusia demonstrates the presence of secondary metabolites like Tannins, Terpenoids, Flavonoids, Saponins and Alkaloids. Plant extract analysis showed presence of phytochemicals such as tannins, flavonoids, phenols, glycosides, steroids, terpenoids, saponinsb and alkaloids, which are known to have presence of the physiological and the medicinal activities as well. Numerous studies have substantiated that the existence of these phytochemicals or bioactive compounds give the physiological as well as medicinal properties to the plants studied in the treatment of different illnesses.

A research on the chemical constituent, characterization and remedial benefits of a native medicinal herb2023 •
Background: Medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years by people around the globe. From ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century, herbs have proven to be the major source of remedial therapies and treatments. Evidence has been collected for ages to reveal the good perspective of herbal plants utilized in numerous supportive, traditional, and different systems, with the ever-enlarging scrutiny of the present-day population with regard to legitimate results. S. lauroela is a predominant medicinal herb that is widely utilized for the cure of many ailments. Materials and Methods: The sample of was selected from the Uttarkashi Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, and then further identification was done by a designated authority from Dehradun, i.e., the Forest Research Institute (FRI), and steam distillation of fresh leaves was performed and oil extract was collected. Results: The yield of essential oil from leaves was observed and a total of fifty constituents were recognized with the help of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Conclusion: The crucial oil also has antifungal and antibacterial properties against some infectious strains. The engrossing characteristics of the oil constitution were the existence of dictamnol in good amounts. In the current research assignment, plant samples were gathered from the hilly regions of Uttarkashi for oil extraction and identification of chemical constituents. Keywords: Antibacterial activity, Antihyperalgesic, Mass- spectrometry, Linalyl acetate, Pathogenic.
