Treatment based on traditional medicine is very popular in the developing world due to inexpensive properties. There is a growing interest in herbal medicine. Curcumin a hydrophobic poly-phenol is derived from turmeric, the rhizome of the herb Curcuma longa L. Neurodegenerative diseases have become a major challenge for public health because of their incurable status. Curcumin has an outstanding safety profile and a number of pleiotropic actions with potential for neuroprotective efficacy, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-protein-aggregate activities. Because of its pleiotropic actions on the central nervous system, including preferential binding to amyloid proteins, Curcumin is being touted as a promising treatment for age-related brain diseases. This review article aims at gathering information predominantly on neurodegenerative...

Salacia chinensisis, commonly known as Saptarangi in the Hindi family of Hippocrateaceae, it is a woody climbing shrub found in Africa, Vietnam, and Thailand. A large number of biologically active compounds like salacinol, kotalanol, neokotalanol, neosalacinol, salasol, and mangiferin are isolated from S. chinensis. Traditionally, the plant is used in the treatment of diabetes, but there are few studies that demonstrate its use as anti-inflammatory, nephroprotective, anticancer, and treatment of cardiac disorders. The present study involves extraction, isolation, structural elucidation, and prediction of antioxidant activity from the roots of S. chinensis. The roots were extracted with water and methanol by using a hot extraction method. The methanol extract was fractionated with ethyl acetate. The antioxidant activity of different extracts was determined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2- picryl- hydrazyl (DPPH) method. The highest antioxidant activity was found in ethyl acetate extract, followed by methanol extract and water extract. Ethyl acetate extract showed maximum antioxidant activity, so the extract was used for the isolation of antioxidant compounds by column chromatography. The compound was...

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...
