Shodhana (purificatory procedures) of Bhallataka (Semecarpusanacardium Linn.) fruit by traditional frying method Ilanchezhian Rangasamy *;Rabinarayan Acharya;Roshy J Chowallur;Vinay J Shukla 2014 (1):  1-7.  摘要 ( 447 )   Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) is one among the wonderful drugs used to cure many diseases like inflammation, piles, cancer etc in Indian system of medicine. Shodhana (purificatory procedures) is must before administering the drug to the patients. The oily fraction in the pericarp of the fruit is responsible for the toxic nature of the drug. In southern parts of India, to purify Bhallataka fruit, frying method is followed traditionally. Here an attempt has been made to find out the impact of traditional folk-lore Shodhana (purificatory procedure) method by the physico-chemical parameters including HPTLC analysis. In 254 nm, raw bhallataka showed five spots but the shodhita Bhallataka showed only four spots, this difference may be due to the shodhana procedures. 相关文章 | 计量指标

Pharmacognostical studies on the leaves ofCanavalia virosa (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. Lavanya Alagusolaiyan;Shakila Ramachandran *;Sasikala Ethirajulu;Ayyasamy Sengan 2014 (1):  8-17.  摘要 ( 352 )   Canavalia virosa (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. syn. C. ensiformis (Linn.) DC. var. virosa (Roxb.) Baker. belongs to the family Papilionaceae. It is known as Kozhi Avarai in Tamil and used in the Siddha System of Medicine. In the present study, the morphology of the plant, exo and endomorphic characteristics, powder analysis, preliminary phytochemical analysis, physicochemical analysis, TLC photo documentation and HPTLC finger print of leaf are investigated. The findings revealed that the occurrence of prism of calcium oxalate crystals, paired foliar epidermal cells with solitary styloid crystals, non-glandular uniseriate and glandular club shaped trichomes and paracytic stomata are diagnostic characters which would help in the identification of the drug. TLC photo documentation showed ten spots in UV 254 and 366 nm, HPTLC finger print profiles of the chloroform extract showed thirteen peaks out of which 4 are major peaks. 相关文章 | 计量指标

The effect of cuscuta chinensis seeds water extractionon promotion of proliferation, differentiation andmatrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells Xinyu Bai;Xiaofeng Yang;Ying Li;Jianmei Gao;Jianchun Li * 2014 (1):  18-24.  摘要 ( 350 )   To study the influence of Cuscuta chinensis to the proliferation, differentiation and matrix mineralization of osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells, which is a valuable cell model in vitro to study drug effects on osteoblast, The proliferation promoting effect of Cuscuta chinensis was determined by MTT assays. The differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells was assisted by Cuscuta chinensis in ALP active and collagen quantitative test Calcium deposition test implied the matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. Western Blot was used to investigate the expression of BMP-2 and Sirt3 protein. Different concentrations of Cuscuta chinensis (5-40 mg/L) tested for 48 hours greatly promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Also, it increased the amount of collagen protein and ALP activity. In addition, the matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells was increased, shown its in a time- and concentrationdependent manner. In addition, the expression of BMP-2, Sirt3 and IDH2 proteins also enhanced significantly. From above results, Cuscuta chinensis increased IDH2 protein by increasing the amount of BMP-2 protein and the expression of Sirt3 protein, thereby to promote the proliferation, differentiation and matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. The results demonstrated that the future research of Cuscuta chinensis played a pivotal role to help reduce osteoporosis. 相关文章 | 计量指标
