Spinach is a leafy green flowering plant. The leaves are a common edible vegetable consumed by fresh leaves. The bioactive components present in the Spinach oleracea plant leaves are known to be responsible for its medicinal properties. The present study was undertaken to compare the effect of different extraction solvents to extract the active components like carbohydrates, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, carbohydrate from the dried leaves of Spinach oleracea plant. The extraction solvents used were Ethyl acetate, Petroleum ether and Methanol. Phytochemical analysis, total flavonoid concentration, total phenol concentration and antioxidant activity have been identified to compare the efficiency of different extraction solvents. The results shows that using methanol as an extraction solvent works best for the extraction of various active phytochemicals, the total flavonoid and phenols concentration and the antoxidant activity showed the effective scavenging activity. This is the report that directly compares the three extraction solvents for the extraction of active components from the Spinach oleracea leaves and shows that method should be the solvent of...

Kydia calycina, a member of the Malvaceae family known as Pulao, Boranga, or Pula, has been reported for its traditional uses as a medicinal plant. The presence of potentially active nutrients and their multifunctional properties make Kydia calycina leaves, root, bark, and stem perfect candidates for the production of phytopharmaceutical products. It is used traditionally as a remedy in different disease conditions like skin disease, hyperglycemia, antihyperlipidemic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antiulcer, antifungal, immunomodulatory, febrifuge, wound healing, industrial uses, and nutritional important, etc. by tribal of Rajasthan Maharashtra and Himachal. It is important to clarify these health benefits to public due to the increasing need for prevention and treatment of chronic diseases. Although it is used widely around the country, single hand information about its ethnobotanical, phytochemical and pharmacological action is still lacking. Traditionally appreciated for its pharmacological properties by the various researcher’s Pulao is still hardly recognized because of insufficient scientific information. The aim of this review is to summarise all the traditional pharmacological properties of Kydia...

The present work has been done with an objective to analyze the crude drug parametrs responsible for tenable antioxidant effect of leaf, stem and root of Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC. Fresh leaf, stem and root of Glycosmis pentaphylla were extracted with ethanol (EEGPle, EEGPst, EEGPro). The antioxidant profiling was done through different methods like 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay, 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethyl benzothiazoline acid (ABTS) free radical scavenging assay and nitric oxide (NO) free radical scavenging assay. Crude drug parameters were focussed mainly on micrometric properties so as to determine the flow properties when consumed for medicinal purposes. A significant antioxidant activity was revealed by the EEGPle [EC50: (29.04±0.008) µg/mL], compared to EEGPst and EEGPro in DPPH assay. The ranking order for ABTS was EEGPle > EEGPst > EEGPro. The EC50 value of NO of the EEGPle, EEGPst and EEGPro were (263.14±0.05) µg/mL, (312.62±0.07) µg/mL and (384.62±0.006)µg/mL respectively. Quantity of TFC and TPC were highest in EEGPle (112.96±3.89 mg QRE/g and 96.6±1.08 mg GAE/g extract) rather than EEGPst and EEGPro...

Bi-layer tablets are developed to get immediate and sustained delivery of various drugs that have pre-defined release. In the past few decades, development in a combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in a single fixed dosage form has increased in the pharmaceutical industry, also promotes patient convenience and compliance. Bi-layer tablet plays a crucial role in the development of controlled release in order to give a successful drug delivery. Bi-layer tablets can be said to be a better option to reduce chemical incompatibilities taking place between Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients and to enable the development of various drug release profiles. Bi-layer tablet suits for sequential release of two drugs in combination or to incorporate two incompatible substances in same tablet. The bi-layer tablets are preparing by using different techniques such as OROS® push-pulls Technology, L-OROSTM Technology, EN SO TROL Techno-logy. This review article explains various techniques of bi-layer tablets and why the development and production of quality bi-layer tablets need to be carried out and basic challenges faced during the...
