Family-peace, also known as Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers, is a perennial herb that can be found throughout India. It goes by a variety of names in different Indian languages, including Durva in Marathi, Durba in Bengali, Dhro in Gujarati, Garichgaddi in Telugu, Arukampillu in Tamil, and Shataparva in Sanskrit, among others. In conventional medical systems and ethnomedical practices, Cynodon dactylon plays a significant role. Its powder, paste, or juices are used to cure a variety of illnesses due to its extensive therapeutic properties. Numerous metabolites are present in Cynodon dactylon, including glycosides, flavonoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, proteins, carbohydrates, and minerals. This study aims to include all relevant material on Cynodon dactylon, including summaries of its numerous pharmacognostic and pharmacological activity, traditional uses, chemical ingredients and pharmacognostic...

This study was conducted to determine the efficient level of growth regulator best suitable for the growth performance of T. daniellii rhizomes. The samples were concentrations of growth regulator mixed with 2kg of topsoil at different ratios as treatments. Eight (5) treatments included: varied concentrations of Indol-3-L butyric acid (0ml, 0.2ml, 0.4ml, 0.6ml and 0.8ml) + 2kg soil. The treatments were replicated five (5) times and laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Parameters assessed were plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves root length, and leaf area of the seedlings. The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% significance level. The result showed a significant difference among the treatments at 5% probability level except in plant height. It can be concluded that adding 0.4ml Indol-3-ylbutyric acid is most suitable for T. daniellii rhizomes and is recommended for better producing healthy and vigorous...

The “deadly nightshade” family, commonly known as “black nightshades,” it’s also used as a traditional medicine system in a country like India and China. Solanum xanthocarpum is known to contain alkaloids, steroids, glycol-alkaloids, steroid saponins, glycoproteins, that exhibit antitumor activity. This review explores the phytopharma-cological properties of Solanum xanthocarpum and summarizes its wide range of pharmacological applications to understand and integrate potential image issues as multipurpose medicines. Solanocarpidine and a phytosterol known as Carpesterol are also present. The seed oil contains Carpesterol. Diosgenin, lanosterol, sitosterol. Solasonnine, solamargine, and solasodine have been isolated from the plant. The roots and fruits are used for medicinal purposes. The herb is useful both internally as well as externally. The apoptotic effects and the amount of DNA fragmentation increased in a dose-dependent manner after the treatment with the protein. Authors believe this glycoprotein is a natural anticancer agent due to its potential to induce apoptosis in the HTC29...

Inflammation is initiated as a healing process by the tissue in response to an injury by pathogens, irritants or cell damage. Piper attenuatum B. Ham is a rare piper species found in the tropical, sub-tropical region and mainly found in the southern part of India. A plant has constituents like alkaloids, amides, glycosides, tannins etc., which are responsible for its therapeutic efficacy. This research focuses on the use of leaves of Piper attenuatum B. Ham as anti-inflammatory agents. The phytochemical and analytical evaluation was done for ethanolic leaf extract. Various part of the plant is used for treating fever, malaria, diuretic, and cancer. Piperine is a major alkaloid found in almost all piper species & responsible for anti-inflammatory activity. In the present study, ethanolic leaf extract of Piper attenuatum B. Ham at doses 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg showed significant in-vivo anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats and in-vitro anti-inflammatory activity by protein denaturation method for dose 500, 400, 300, 200 & 100...

Objective: Plants live on a planet with days and seasons, affecting their phytoconstituents. The challenge is that availability of active principles in medicinal plants changes by seasonal fluctuations, so their dose pattern for therapeutic efficacy also get influenced. The best duration for the harvesting of specific secondary metabolites for better yield is not fixed. Seasonal impact show changes in important constituents like polyphenol, flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, essential oil, etc. Late summer is the best collection time for essential oil components. Winter and rainy are the best season for other secondary metabolites. Methods: The selected plant Azadirachta indica A. belongs to the alkaloidal category with having anti-diabetic activity. Plants were evaluated for pharmacognostic study, which includes macroscopic and microscopic evaluation, determining physicochemical parameters systematically. HPTLC fingerprinting for nimbin was done. The study was performed for plant material with three different seasons, and the best results were analyzed. Results and Conclusion: All the plants showed correct taxonomy with specific morphological, microscopical, and physicochemical parameters, which is helpful for the standardization of...
