Quinones are a class of extremely reactive naturally occurring chemical entities including an extensive variety of biological functions, & their reactive nature as well as structural composition is an intriguing topic that is being investigated around the globe. The group of organic quinones which include naphthoquinone. There isan ongoing theme extending across the activities, and numerous research have been developed to better understand the details of these activities. The naphthoquinones & their analogues offer several pharmacological actions, involving an antioxidant, antibiotic, antiviral, cancer prevention. antimalarial, as well as antifungal capabilities. The objectives of this study aim provide recent information from the literature on the chemistry and methods for preparation of Naphthoquinone and their pharmacological activities. All the information has been collated, set up, and arranged in rational areas to offer a recent overview of the area of naphthoquinone chemistry. The present article reveals naphthoquinones’ compositional variation and fascinating biological roles. This present article reveals the understanding of the synthetic approach for several derivative, their activity and medicinal...

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...

Medicinal plants are nature’s gift to human being to have disease free healthy life. It plays a vital role to preserve our health. India is one of the most medico-culturally diverse countries in the world where the medicinal plant sector is part of a time honoured tradition that is respected even today. Medicinal plants are believed to be much safer. In our country, more than 2000 medicinal plants have been recognized. Bauhinia purpurea Linn. (Caesalpinaceae; butterfly tree) is an important medicinal plant with various traditional uses. The present article including the detailed exploration of phyto-pharmacological properties of B. purpurea is an attempt to provide a direction for further...

Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, presents a significant challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. This study explores the potential of natural compounds in Psoriasis management. Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) demonstrate notable anti-inflammatory effects, targeting the underlying inflammation associated with Psoriasis. Turmeric (Curcuma longa) contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent, offering promise in modulating the aberrant immune responses observed in Psoriasis. Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) and Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) exhibit both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, suggesting potential benefits in reducing redness, scaling, and secondary infections. Santalum album (Sandalwood) provides a calming effect on the skin, while Calendula (Calendula officinalis) offers anti-inflammatory support, promoting skin healing in Psoriasis lesions. Allium sativum (Garlic) and Thai ginger (Zingiber officinale) contribute allicin and gingerol, respectively, known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, complementing the management of Psoriasis symptoms. Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) and Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon Grape) exhibit immunomodulatory properties, potentially regulating the immune responses underlying Psoriasis pathogenesis. Although these natural compounds show promise as adjunctive...

Background: Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb. belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae, commonly known as ‘Kuberaksha’, is a large scandant shrub. The stem bark is useful as febrifuge, emmenagogue, anthelmintic, germicidal and anti-pyretic. Aim: The present study was conceived to standardize the stem bark of Caesalpinia bonduc to determine correct identity and purity of the drug have been undertaken besides in detection of adulteration. Materials and Methods: Pharmacognostical studies include (study of morphological characters), microscopical characters and powder microscopy and physicochemical parameters along with phytochemical, histochemical studies and fluorescence behavior were studied. Results: Transverse section of stem bark revealed the presence of outer most cork interspersed with stone cells, inner phelloderm cells with rhombic crystals and biseriate medullary rays. Tangential Longitudinal Section (T.L.S) revealed presence of uni to biseriate medullary rays, mostly biserate. Physicochemical standards showed that foreign organic matter (Nil), loss on drying (11.07%), total ash (5.45%), acid insoluble ash (0.45%), water soluble ash (1.45%), petroleum ether extractive (0.45%), chloroform (1.65%), ethanol (6.5% ), methanol (7.55%), water (11.65%). Preliminary phytochemical screening...
