In silico Assessment of Bioactive Compounds from Thaalisaathi Chooranam Targeting Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Alcoholic Liver Disease
Background: Alcoholic Liver Disease (ALD) is a major cause of cirrhosis-related morbidity and mortality, with limited therapies. Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH) plays a key role in ethanol metabolism and contributes to hepatic injury. Siddha formulations are rich in bioactive phytoconstituents with potential hepatoprotecti
Identification of Potential Plant-Based Bioactive Compounds as α-Synuclein Targets via Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulations
Introduction: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a distressing neurodegenerative ailment that involves the demise of neurons present in dopaminergic system and continuous progression of α-synuclein into amyloid fibrils. Combating α-synuclein aggregation represents an intriguing approach to develop disease-modifying therapy.
A Study on the Pharmacognosy Materials of Ancient Traditional Medicine Prescriptions Used to Treat Bubonic Plague
Background: Ancient Mongolian doctors and scholar-monks identified diseases that were prevalent among Mongolians but were not described in Indian Ayurveda or Tibetan medicine. Based on the theory of wind, bile, and phlegm, they revised the classification of diseases to incorporate these conditions. A notable example is
Comparative GC-MS Profiling of n-Hexane Extracts from the Heartwood and Small Branches of Pterocarpus santalinus Linn.f.
Background: Pterocarpus santalinus Linn.f. (Red Sandalwood) is an important medicinal plant known for its diverse bio active compounds. Evaluation of its phytoconstituents is essential for ensuring its therapeutic potential and quality. Chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques are effective tools for profiling
GC-MS Analysis and Quality Evaluation of Dashmoola Kashaya
Background: Dashmoola Kashaya is ayurvedic polyherbal formulation prepared from roots of ten medicinal plants which are traditionally used in the management of disorders like inflammatory conditions, neuromuscular disorders, respiratory diseases and musculoskeletal pain. To validate the quality and pharmacological rele
Anticancer Effects of Schinus molle-Synthesized Iron Nanoparticles in Human Hela Cervical Cancer Cells
Objectives: Green development of iron nanoparticles by plant derived extracts has collected important scientific attention due to their eco-friendly fabrication, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced biological activities. Materials and Methods: The current research was assumed to evaluate the anticancer efficacy of Iron N
Elucidating the role of Shatapushpa (Anethum graveolens L.) in Rheumatoid Arthritis through In vitro and In silico Analysis
Introduction: Day by day the prevalence of the diseases are increasing throughout the globe. One such disease that is having increase in incidence is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). With the rise in the occurrence there is need of newer drugs with safety and efficacy. Shatapushpa (Anethum graveolens L.) in Ayurveda is used
Black Cumin (Nigella sativa) as a Natural Food Preservative: GC-MS Profiling and Antimicrobial Activity against Spoilage Microorganisms
Background: Nigella sativa, also referred as black cumin and described as the miraculous herb, exhibits many medicinal and pharmacological properties. Objectives: This research focused on the antimicrobial effectiveness of different N. sativa Seeds (NSS) extracts against spoilage microbes and phytochemical analysis of
A Review on Polyherbal Nanoparticles with Combined Effect of Metal Nanoparticle-Properties and Applications
The current review summarizes the processes, characteristics and uses of Nanoparticles (NPs) sourced from polyherbal formulations, such as fullerenes, metal NPs, ceramic NPs and polymeric NPs. In order to make different and useful nanoparticles from polyherbal combinations the medicinal values of several plants have to
Targeted Neurotherapeutics: A Review of Bacopa monnieri Delivery Strategies for Neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Autism lead to Central Nervous System (CNS) degeneration, impairing both cognitive and motor functions. With the rising prevalence of these illnesses-closely linked to age and lifestyle factors-effective therapeutic strategies that can cr
Green-Synthesized Tribulus terrestris-Mediated CuO Nanoparticle-Loaded CS/PVA Hydrogels: A Multifunctional Platform for Cancer Therapy and Antidiabetic Applications
Objectives: In this work, we report on the preparation of CuO nanoparticles using extract from Tribulus terrestris as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent, followed by the loading of the nanoparticles into the Chitosan/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) hydrogel in order to design a multifunctional system for treating c
Comparative In vitro Evaluation of Chemical and Herbal Antimicrobial Agents for Surface Decontamination: A Pharmaceutical Perspective
Background: Maintenance of asepsis is essential for successful endodontic therapy. Gutta-percha cones are susceptible to microbial contamination during handling and storage, and their thermoplastic nature precludes heat sterilization, making rapid chemical disinfection necessary. Purpose: This study evaluated the comp
Chemically Synthesized Urolithin-C Regulates Glucose Uptake in HepG2 Cells
Background: In recent years, the prevalence of diabetes has increased dramatically worldwide. Although several drugs are available for its management, their severe cytotoxic effects have created a need for safer and more effective alternatives. Urolithins (A, B, C, D, M5, M6, and M7) have gained attention due to their
