Introduction: Beyond the preceding twenty years progresses in investigative systems and an upsurge in effect usage routes have remarkably enhanced breast cancer endurance proportions, regardless of a cumulative number of identified cases amongst women. Certain plant extracts have been acquired to produce anti-cancer powers and to fit into chemotherapy treatments. Aim and Objective: To accomplish the anticancer activities of phytoconstituents of Ipomoea aquatica Forsskal beside DMBA induced breast cancer in Sprague dawley rats with the addition of assessment of histopathological and biochemical parameters. Methods: There were six groups of animals such G1 (Normal), G2 (tumor), G3 (standard Vinblastine), G4 (hydroalcoholic extract), G5 (Isolated compound I) and G6 (Isolated compound II) correspondingly. Results and discussion: The body weight, defense percentage and tumor volume were determined. A substantial behaviors were detected in G3 (37.85%), G4 (24%), G5 31.70% and G6 (32.65%) after 45 days therapy. The special effects of antioxidant enzymes similar to SOD, CAT, GPX and LPx were examined and had revealed statistically significant findings. Conclusion: Bearing in mind regarding the prolonged medication of patients, natural resolves (plant of interest with its isolated compounds) will control superior deprived of any side effects to cure the ailment in effectual approach.

Clinacanthus nutans (Burm. f.) Lindau (C. nutans) has been reported to lower blood glucose level; however, evidence on its efficacy in lowering diabetic complications is limited. The antidiabetic properties of C. nutans aqueous leaf extract on serum metabolic indices, sorbitol production, and aldose reductase enzyme activities in the kidneys, lens, and sciatic nerve of type II diabetic (T2D) rats were evaluated. All rats except normal control rats were fed with a high‐fat diet for 8 weeks to induce obesity and subsequently injected with 35 mg/kg streptozotocin to induce type II diabetes. Aqueous leaf extract of C. nutans (100 and 200 mg kg−1 day−1) and quercetin (10 mg kg−1 day−1) were fed orally for 4 weeks. Diabetic rats administered with C. nutans at 100, 200 mg kg−1 day−1 and quercetin had significantly (p

Introduction: Since to meet the worlds challenging diseases, there is a huge requirement for finding remedies. The remedy might be derived from any source like synthetic, mineral, biological, microbiological, marine and herbal. Among which, herbal, the natural remedy stands first to treat an illness without side effects. The active secondary metabolites have been spread widely across the world. The herb that acts both as nutraceutical and as pharmaceutical majorly is various species of spinach. Hence, the water spinach is selected for getting an excellent moiety by means of different analytical procedures. Aim and Objectives: The aim is to characterize isolated herbal compound from Ipomoea aquatica Forsskal with the use of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. Method: The authenticated herb was extracted for its active metabolites. The screened phytochemicals by preliminary identification tests and TLC were applied for isolation. The high yield isolate from water fraction was evaluated for characterizing its chemical and biological properties. The structural elucidation was done with FTIR, 1 H NMR and LCMS. The biological property was analyzed by colorimetric method using MCF-7 cell lines. Results and Discussion: The yield of isolate was 13.9 %w/w. The compound was characterized as halo aromatic alcoholamide with molecular weight of 1677.60 g/mol. IC50 value of active molecule by MTT assay was detected as 173.1 μg/ml. Conclusion: The invented anticancer natural drug might be isolated in bulk to prepare herbal formulations. The medicine could be utilized for treating various life threatening diseases because of its functional groups and pharmacological actions.

Objective: To explore the immunomodulatory properties of aqueous extract of Polygonum minus Huds (P. minus), on swiss albino mice using carbon clearance assay. Methods: The study was performed using in-vivo carbon clearance assay or phagocytosis. Aqueous extract of P. minus was administered by oral route to Swiss albino mice for seven days. Levamisole, 2.5 mg/kg was used as standard drug. Results: The phagocytic function of reticuloendothelial system was significantly (P

Background The study was aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Polygonum minus (Huds) using in vitro and in vivo approaches. Methods The in vitro tests used to evaluate ethanolic extract are cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipooxygenase (5-LOX), secretory phospholipase-A2 (sPLA2) inhibition assay whilst the in-vivo effect was measured by the ability of aqueous extracts to reduce paw edema induced by λ-carrageenan, in rats. Results The ethanolic extract inhibited the activities of 5-LOX and COX-1(p
