Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a widely used spice around the world. It has also been explored for its biological properties and bioactive compounds. The significance and efficacy of black pepper and its bioactive compounds in insecticidal, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal infections are well-acknowledged throughout the world. The secondary metabolites of Piper nigrum L. are responsible for these activities. Piperine is one of the potent components in pest control due to its pungent smell. Eventually, efficient and optimal extraction methodologies are obligatory for the most competent functionalization of black pepper extract. Plausible reports are supporting its impact and application as a natural pesticide to control the pest abundance. The novel, environmentally benevolent natural pesticides are essential for pest control. In this review paper, we tried to summarize all potential, rapid, simple, feasible, and sustainable methods for black pepper extraction, isolation, and mode of action as a pest regulator. Lethal concentration, doses, and application time are the major regulating factors of a natural pesticide. Changes in the growth and developmental...

Syzygium cumini is a smooth and famous tree, about 8 to 15 meters high with white branchlets and reddish young shoots. Leaves are opposite, shiny and leathery, oblong-ovate to elliptic or obovate-elliptic, 6 to 12 centimeters long, the tip is broad and shortly pointed. In Unani, the kernel (Khasta-e-Jamun) is used for the treatment. A lot of pharmacological work has been scientifically carried out on various parts of Syzygium cumini but some other traditionally important therapeutically uses are also remaining to proof till now scientifically. It has astringent, carminative, stomachic, diuretic, antidiabetic, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, radioprotective, gastro-protective, antioxidant, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, cardio-protective properties, etc. The various chemical constituents present in Seeds yield glycosides, a trace of pale yellow essential oil, fat, resin, albumin, chlorophyll, an alkaloid- jambosine, gallic acid, 1-galloylglucose, 3-galloylglucose, quercetin, and elements such as zinc, chromium, vanadium, potassium and...

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...
