IN-VITRO ANTI-SICKLING POTENTIAL OF CATECHIN AND THE FUNCTIONAL CHEMISTRY AND METABOLIC PATHWAYS ANALYSIS OF HUMAN SICKLE ERYTHROCYTES
Sickle cell disease (SCD) treatment and management remain a challenging puzzle, especially among developing Nations. We evaluated catechin’s sickling-suppressive properties using in-vitro and bioinformatics approaches in human sickle erythrocytes. Sickling was maximally induced (76%) using 2% sodium metabisulfite (SMS) at 3h. Addition of catechin prevented the sickling by SMS at 1mM (81.19%) and...

DETERMINATION OF TOTAL FLAVONOID CONTENT, TOTAL PHENOLIC CONTENT, GC-MS AND HPTLC ANALYSIS OF HYDRO ALCOHOLIC EXTRACT OF DRIED LEAVES OF PORTULACA GRANDIFLORA HOOK
To perform phytochemical screening, estimate total phenolics and total flavonoid content of hydro alcoholic extract of dried leaves of Portulaca grandiflora Hook. The shade- dried leaves of P. grandiflora (100 g) were extracted exhaustively by Soxhlet with hydro- alcohol. The conc. hydro-alcoholic extract were further studied to quantitative determination, GC-MS and HPTLC to identify and character...
