Pergularia is an annual herbaceous plant in the family of Pergularia daemia linn native to India and Shrilanka. Pergularia daemia linn has shown anti-bacterial property which makes it an essential herb in the treatment of various infections. This study was to check the effectiveness of Pergularia daemia lin against the microbial species Staphylococcus aurens, to observe the zone of inhibition and to develop a topical gel formulation of Pergularia daemia linn for the treatment of acne. The extraction was done by maceration method and continues with phytochemical screening and herbal gel formulation using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose as a base with different concentration 2%v/v, 4%v/v, 6%v/v and 8%v/v. The gel was evaluated for the physical appearance, ph, homogeneity and antibacterial activity. Different concentration of Pergularia daemia linn methanolic extract exhibited relatively good antibacterial activity. It was concluded that the gel formulation having higher concentration (8%) is found to be good consistency compared to 2%, 4% and 6%v/v and can be used to treat the antibacterial...

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing area of scientific interest due to its wide applications in catalysis, solar energy, waste management, and sensing technology. Nanomaterials are efficiently used in the field of medicine for the purpose of drug delivery, diagnosis, treatment of cardiovascular diseases, wound healing, and development of antimicrobial agents. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Costus afer-AgNPs extract on the PCV level of male rats. In this experimental study, 18 adult male rats were used. The rats were randomly divided into six groups. The first group (control) adequately consumed compressed food and water without any restrictions during the experiment. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth experimental groups respectively consumed 200mg, 400mg, 600mg, 800mg, and 1000mg Costus afer-AgNPs extract per kilogram body weight in a daily manner. Blood samples were taken from all groups after four weeks through anesthesia. PCV and Hb test was carried out using the blood serum. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS, ANOVA, and LSD tests. PCV levels significantly increased...
