The cotton plant (Gossypium) is one of the most popular plants that contains gossypol, a yellow pigment described in the literature as a phytoalexin. Thespesia populnea (Family: Malvaceae) a neighboring plant, is closely related to Gossypium and other genera such as Cienfuegosia and Thurberia and is also described to contain gossypol as a natural product. Widely used in the Togolese pharmacopeia, Thespesia populnea is a medicinal plant not endemic but imported into Togo. The present work intends to study the phytochemical screening and toxicity of T. populnea leaves and bark. In addition to the phytochemical screening, free radical scavenging activity, gossypol extraction, and acute and sub-chronic toxicity were carried out. Results show that the bark contains more compounds than the leaves. Similarly, ethanolic extract of bark gave a much higher free radical scavenging activity (IC50 77.45 mg EQ/g ES) than leaves (158.22 mg EQ/g ES). Gossypol’s content evaluated from each organ was 0.12% and 0.42% for leaves and bark respectively. The LD50 of the extracts is greater than 5000 mg/kg. In addition, the ethanolic extract of bark at repeated doses of 500 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg caused congestion lesions in the liver and kidneys of over 60% of the animals. This study shows that T. populnea should be used sparingly.

The primary source of efficient traditional medications for the treatment of many ailments is medicinal plants. Several pharmacological actions of herbal medicines have led to their usage throughout the past ten years. The useful medical plant Plumbago zeylanica, often known as Plumbago, "white leadwort," "Ceylon leadwort," "Doctorbush," "Chitrak" in India, is used extensively in Africa and Asia to cure various maladies. It belongs to the plumbaginaceae family. The family plumbaginaceae are divided into the plumbaginoideae and staticoideae subfamilies, which may be distinguished by morphological, chemical, and molecular traits. It is a significant medicinal plant with a variety of pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, etc. Because of the plant's therapeutic value, pharmaceutical companies randomly sample the environment and there is a decline in Plumbago zeylanica population, making it an over-exploited plant. Therefore, a different method of mass propagating this plant is required. It is a powerful bioactive substance with a lot of promise for use in traditional medical procedures for the treatment of many different ailments. Although it is a crucial plant in the production of herbal products, finding a different method to allow for the widespread propagation of this plant still requires a great commitment. For the expanding needs of Plumbago zeylanica, by in-vitro technologies at a large scale for progress and subsequent crushed plants should be tremendously helpful. The purpose of this review is to focus the value of medicinal applications, Phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicity, and its prospective pharmaceutical action for the creation of novel herbal preparations. It has given researchers the chance to do further study and development in this area.

Calycopteris floribunda Lam. is commonly known as paper flower climber endemic to south Asian countries. It is used for the treatment of diarrhea, jaundice, malaria, wound healing, ulcers and snake bites. The previous studies on C. floribunda showed that the plant has anthelmintic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotectivity and anticancerous activity. Even though, plant has significant medicinal value there are no reports available on the pharmacognostic standardization of the characters of the plant. Hence the present work is undertaken to standardize the pharmacognostic parameters. In this work pharmacognostic study of flowers is done which includes macroscopic, organoleptic study, powder microscopy, physico-chemical characterization (ash values, loss of moisture, foaming index, pH and extractive yields) and fluorescence analysis of flower powder. The present work is provided the valuable information regarding the standardized of pharmacognostic parameters of flowers of C. floribunda, which can be used for identification, authentication and the quality of the crude drugs for the further studies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the anthelmintic activity of Euphorbia milii ( E. milii ) leaves, which were selected as a different source of potent treatments for nematodiasis. The anthelmintic activity of E. milii was tested in adult Pheretima posthuma Indian earthworms. The reference standard was albendazole (10 mg/ml), while the control treatment was normal saline (10 ml). The extracts were tested at various methanolic concentrations (20 mg/mL, 40 mg/mL, 80 mg/mL, and 100 mg/mL). To report the earthworms' paralysis and death time, the data were stated in terms of time in minutes. The study's observations have led to anthelmintic action, supporting traditional use of both plants when compared to the standard.

The present study aims to design a cheap and environmentally friendly cotton textile impregnated with green synthesized silver nanoparticles from Cymbopogon citratus leaves. The silver nanoparticles were characterized by umtraviolet spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. Analytical differences between impregnated and non-impregnated cotton textiles were assessed by light, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hyperspectral microscopy reveals the presence of silver nanoparticles inside in situ impregnated cotton material and was coupled to emission spectroscopy to differentiate from cotton fabric giving insight for material quality control. TEM presents high-density dispersions of silver nanoparticles inside the cotton materials and lowest sizes for the in situ impregnated cotton material. The in situ nanomaterial shows differences in maximum emission compared to the cotton fabric, and the particles could be visualized by dark field microscopy. Water and nanoparticle solution retention capacities of the cotton fabrics were determined. The experiment suggests that the in situ impregnated cotton fabric had outstanding washing resistance.

The leaves of Spinacia oleracea L., a significant and common leafy vegetable belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. This plant is also called Spinach. It contains a lot of fibre, which get slow digest. Hence, spinach does not immediately result in blood sugar increases, actuality the present soluble fibre lowers blood glucose levels and manages diabetes. The aim and object of the study is to find out the binding property of the present constituents in the plant by molecular docking and screen the anti diabetic activity of the ethanol leaves extract of the Spinacia oleracea L.

The World Health Organization defines osteoporosis as "a progressive systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural damage of bone tissue, with consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture." Osteoporosis is considered a serious public health problem. According to the 2001 census, there are approximately 163 million Indians above the age of 50. This number is expected to increase to 230 million by 2015. Even conservative estimates suggest that 20% of women and about 10-15% of men should be osteoporotic. So the total affected population would be around 25 million, this number may increase up to 50 million. According to the classics, Asthi Kshaya has Lakshanas like Asthi Shoolam, Kesha, Loma, Nakha, Dwija Prapatanam, Sandhi Shaithilya. As some of the Laskshanas of Asthi Kshaya resemble the signs and symptoms of osteoporosis, it can be compared to osteoporosis to some extent.

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) is of Japanese origin and the most important species from nutritional point of view. It is generally recognized as outstanding source of nutritional and biologically active compounds. The fruit are enriched with different kinds of nutrients. The quality of fruits is defined by its physical and chemical characteristics. Therefore, this study examined the physico-chemical characteristics of persimmon fruit Fuyu. The fruit comprised of 7.20 Kg/cm2 of firmness and 90.23 percent of flesh content. The various bioactive compounds such as β-carotene (1.54 mg/100 g), ascorbic acid (12.40 mg/100 g) and total phenols (2.70 mg/100 g) are also present. The fruit thus is consumed to reap maximum nutrient benefits.
