The present work deals with pharmacological studies of the formulated tablet of Bombax ceiba Linn. root extract. An aphrodisiac activity by mating behaviour test model was investigated. The dissolved tablet slurry (400 mg/kg body wt. /day) was administered orally by gavages for 28 days. Mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL), ejaculation latency (EL), mounting frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF), ejaculation frequency (EF) and post-ejaculatory interval (PEI) are the parameters observed before and during the sexual behaviour study at day 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28. The formulated tablet significantly reduced ML, IL, EL and PEI (p<0.05). The formulated tablet significantly increased MF, IF and EF (p<0.05). These effects were observed in sexually active and inactive male mice. Bombax ceiba roots extract tablets (400 mg/kg body wt.) have comparative aphrodisiac activity in inactive...

Herbal medicines have attracted the researcher’s attention nowadays AS scientific evidence is regularly coming on their safety and efficacy. The present study of Hobibatul Katan Murakkab (Granules of Flaxseeds Compound) was undertaken to standardize the classical clinically proved effective Unani compound formulation “Hobibatul Katan Murakkab (Granules of Flaxseeds Compound)”. The study revealed the presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Tannins, and Fats. The presence of phytochemical compounds shows the potential of the compound in the field of medicine, as has been claimed by the Unani Physicians centuries ago. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the compound formulation has been done on a small scale. The formulation may be standardized on a large scale with full parameters of compound formulations of herbal...

This study deals with the Pharmacognostical physicochemical and phytochemical evaluation of the whole plant of Piper longum L. Pharmacognostical studies includes macroscopic, microscopic, and physicochemical evaluation. Physicochemical constants showed the values of total ash (10%), acid insoluble ash (1%), water-soluble ash (32%), sulphated ash (22%), nitrated ash (18.5%), hot extraction (11.2%), water-soluble extractive (4.8%), ethanol-soluble extractive (12.4%), ether soluble extractive (5.6%), loss on drying (29%), swelling index (0.33) and mucilage content (0.8%) w/w. The preliminary phytochemical screening of the alcoholic extract showed alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins, mucilage, starch, steroid, and flavanoids. This study helps to development of different standard parameters of the plant, which help the plant identification and...

Objective: To investigate the Pharmacognostic and in-vitro Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory & Anti-diabetic Activity of the flower of the Himalayan Rhododendron Arboreum. Methods: The collected plant flowers of Rhododendron Arboreum were cleaned with distilled water and air-dried at room temperature under shade (25-27 °C) and reduced to the appropriate size of the powder. The powdered plant materials are further extracted by cold maceration with hydroalcoholic as well as the aqueous solvent. The filtrates obtained from the successive maceration were concentrated under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator followed by hot air set at 40 °C. The dry extract obtained was harvested, and the dried extract was transferred into airtight bottles and stored in a refrigerator at -4 °C. The powdered flowers of Rhododendron Arboreum and hydroalcoholic and aqueous extract were standardized via pharmacognostic parameters. Phytochemical screening of Hydro-alcoholic and aqueous extract of Rhododendron Arboreum revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, phenol, triterpenes, Steroids & carbohydrates. Different flowers extract of Rhododendron Arboreum accessed for in vitro antioxidant potential by using the DPPH...

The demand for today’s chemistry is finding an efficient alternative to synthetic indicators. Acid-base titration was conducted using natural indicators in the present research work. The natural indicator is prepared from Jasminum sambac, the most commonly occurring plant. The ethanolic flower extract was used as a natural indicator. For acid-base titration, Hydrochloric acid (HCl) as strong acid and Acetic acid (CH3COOH) used as a weak acid, and Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were chosen as a strong base. Successful results were achieved when it was examined by using standard synthetic indicators. Titration shows colour change at the point of equivalence. Thus, for acid-base titration at any dilution, natural indicators from flowers can be used. Titration with natural indicator from ethanolic flower extract of Jasminum sambac has not yet been performed by any research team. It is very simple and economical to use ethanolic flower extract of Jasminum sambac as an indicator as it provides the same outcome accuracy as that provided by the synthetic...
