The Plants having own biological potential to treat some major diseases. Medicinal plants are gaining much interest recently because their use in ethnomedicine treating common diseases such as cold, fever, and other medicinal claims are now supported with sound scientific evidence. The study on medicinal plants started with extraction procedures that play a critical role to the extraction outcomes (e.g., yield and phytochemicals content) and also to the consequent assays performed. A wide range of technologies with different methods of extraction is available nowadays. Hence, this review aims to describe and compare the most commonly used methods based on their principle, strength, and limitation to help to evaluate the suitability and economic feasibility of the...

A novel coronavirus illness (COVID-19), activated by contamination with SARS-CoV-2, has frilled across 31 territories in China and more than 195 nations around the world. The change from the first side effects to intense respiratory trouble disorder (ARDS) is amazingly likely to be because of excessive cytokine discharge. There is a pivotal need to arrange sheltered and dynamic medications for activity. Chloroquine (CQ) presentations an inhibitory impact. In any case, the clinical utilization of CQ can cause serious reactions. Besides, hydroxyl chloroquine (HCQ) likewise shows an antiviral impact profoundly like that of CQ, restraining the cytokine storm by smothering T-cell enactment. Coronavirus immunization will be conveying after clinical preliminaries ahead in business...

Termites impart hazardous impacts on the ecosystem by causing severe damage to wooden components. They decrease crop yield, restrain the production of economically important trees, and destroy wooden buildings. The utilization of insecticidal plants provides a promising strategy for the control of insects. The undertaken study is intended to highlight the anti-termite potential of plant extracts as a promising strategy for termite control. Insecticidal potential of Alstonia scholaris and Salvadora oleiodes extract revealed by investigating their impact on mortality and tunneling activities of Microtermes obesi. Mortality of Microtermes obesi was investigated by treating the soil and filter paper with different concentrations of methanolic and aqueous extracts. Least LT50 value was shown by 40% methanolic extract of S. oleiodes i.e. 40.476 and 37.425 hours, in soil and filter paper assay, respectively. Termites showed least tunneling activity at 40% concentration of methanolic extract of S. oleiodes thus indicating that toxicity of phytochemicals might have apprehended the movement of termites. Methanolic extract of S. oleiodes showed grade 1 (v. v. strong) repellent...

Sphaeranthus indicus Linn (Asteraceae) is a popular and very useful plant used in Indian system of medicine. It is usually found in damp areas, plains and also as a weed in the rice fields. In the Ayurvedic system of medicine, the plant as a whole plant or its different parts like leaf, stem, bark, root, flower and seed are widely used for curing many diseases. The plant is enriched with various types of secondary metabolites such as eudesmanolides, sesquiterpenoids, sesquiterpene lactones, sesquiterpene acids, flavone glycosides, flavonoid C‑glycosides, isoflavone glycoside, sterols, sterol glycoside, alkaloid, peptide alkaloids, amino acids and sugars. Essential oil has been isolated from flowers and whole plant. In this present study, various methods are carried out to perform the evaluation of pharmacognostical parameters of crude drug as well as aqeous extract of aerial part of the plant which may forms the basis for the further use of the plant and also for the evaluation of its various pharmacological activity. The physicochemical evaluation confirms the quality and purity...

Oxalis corniculata Linn. is a medicinally important plant belonging to the family Oxalidaceae native to tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This paper briefly shows the botany, pharmacology, and therapeutic use of the herb. The review discloses that a varied array of phytochemical constituents have been extracted from the plant like glycosides, flavanoids, tannins, phytosterols, phenol, galactoglycero-lipid, volatile oil and fatty acids such as palmitic acid, oleic, linoleic, linolenic and stearic acids. The leaves contain flavonoids, isovitexine, and vitexine-2”- O- beta – D- glucopyrunoside. It holds essential activities like anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, anti-epileptic, anti-fungal, anti-ulcer, anti-nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, hepatoprotective, anti-diarrhoeal, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, hypoli-pedemic, steroidogenic, cardioprotective, nephrotoxicity, diuretic, anti-microbial and wound healing has also been reported. These reports indicate that Oxalis corniculata has various therapeutic benefits and highlights the necessity for research and development on this...
