To prepare an herbal ointment using an ethanolic extract of Berberis aristata and assess the anti-psoriatic effectiveness of the finished product. We were able to make multiple ointments that were each categorized as F-1, F-2, and F-3 by adding varying concentrations of stearic acid and cetyl alcohol by learning about various formulation types, such as oil in water. The analysis of many factors, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability, was used to evaluate all formulations. A formulation of ethanolic extract (F-3) showed antipsoriatic action. No evidence of a separate phase or ease of removal was found in any of the formations, but they all demonstrated good spreadability, consistency, appearance, and pH. Additionally, during irritancy trials, the formulation F-3 did not cause redness, oedema, erythema, or irritation. The use of this formulation on the skin is safe. As a result, the study implies that the extract's and the ointment's base's compositions are safer and more stable, however, they might also have synergistic effects.

Berberis aristata commonly known as Daruhaldi, which is traditionally used in the various treatment such as inflammation, irritation, wound and other skin aliments. During the tribal time period, Indian people were use the crused from of root-bark directly on infected parts of skin. Most of the people used the matured root bark in crused form and directly apply a thick paste on the inflammated surface. In this investigation, quantify the important marker compound (Berberine and Tetrahydropalmatine) by the HPTLC-densitometry method and further evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of EEBA and also done the molecular docking, which was done by using Auto-Dock software. Croton oil induced ear oedema and carrageenan induced paw oedema model was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory efficacy. Auto-Dock software was used to determine the molecular mechanism. The finding of the HPTLC-densitometry validated method revealed that the RSD for interday (0.113-0.343 and 0.116-0.342) and intraday (0.101-0.304 and 0.105-0.296) are as per ICH guidelines. The pharmacological evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity revealed a significant reduction of oedema when using 4% formulation. On behlf of molecular docking berberine and tetrahydropalmatine inhibit the of COX-1 and COX 2 levels. It was concluded that the application of the extract in animals to be used as an anti-inflammatory agent for topical formulations and the phytoconstituent have potentcy to inhibit the effect of COX-1 & 2.

A stroke causes serious and long term brain disability due to disruption in the blood flow to the brain. Clinically major changes occur in brain functions are seen after brain ischemia and reperfusion. Patients show emotional, behavioural, and cognitive alterations during retrieval time. Cerebral injury by transient ischemia distresses the number of patients globally with death or long term disability. In recent years a great deal of research has been carried out to find the effectiveness of the herbal drug for the treatment of stroke. Both thrombolytic and neuro-protective activities of herbal drugs may be a new strategy for effective stroke treatment. This article reviews the list of universally used plants effective for brain stroke therapies. The purpose of this article was to collect the herbal drugs useful in brain stroke therapies.

Objective: Abies webbiana and Berberis aristata is an herbal plant that has several therapeutic effects. It also heals depression, grief, nervous stress and tension. In the present study we evaluated anti-depressant effect of ethanolic extract from Abies webbiana and Berberis aristata by using Forced Swimming Test (FST) and Tail Suspension Test (TST). Methods: Two doses of ethanolic extract of Abies webbiana and berberis aristata (200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg) was given orally. Immobility time were measured after 30 min after the dosing and compared with control group and Flouxetine (25mg/kg) as a standard group. Results: The ethanolic extract of BA and AW (400 mg/kg) was found to be effective and it exhibited activity similar to that of the conventional drug Flouxetine (25mg/kg) (p
