The ethylacetate extract of air-dried and powdered leaves of Ardisia solanacea was subjected to repeated coloumn chromatography (CC) over silicagel eluted with choloroform and methanol (CHCl3: MeOH; 100:0→1:1) afforded various fractions which on repeated column chromatography over silica geleluted with different solvents yielded β-sitosterol, gallic acid, Quercetin, Myricetin and a new alkylphenolic compound identified as (-)-5-(1,2-Dihyd-roxypentyl)benzene-1,3-diol. Identification of these compounds were made on the basis of analysis of their physical and spectroscopic data and chemical methods.

The problem of drug resistance to human pathogenic bacteria and rising of infectious diseases has been reported from all over the world. This increasing preval- ence of multidrug resistant strains of microorganisms and reduced susceptibility to antibiotics raises an urgent need to search for new sources of antimicrobial agents. Human infections, particularly those involving the skin and mucosal surfaces constitute a serious problem, especially in tropical and subtropical developing countries. (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, and Salmonella sp. were observed to be the most frequent pathogens cause gastrointestinal infection. MRSA gained much attention in the past decade, as it is a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. In this study, different extracts of Helicteres isora, was screened for the antimicrobial activity against the multidrug resistant pathogens. Results are encouraging indicating the potential antibacterial activity against the test organisms and further validate the traditional use of H.isorain abdominal cramps and gastrointestinal infections.

Infectious diseases have always been one of the important concerns of human and have continuously attracted the attention of a large number of various medical and laboratory professionals. On the other hand, treatment with antibiotics has other problems such as drug resistance and side effects, so the use of new herbal medicines with fewer side effects can be a great help in treating these types of infections. The objective of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of marigold (Tageteserecta) methanolic extract on five reference strains including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Then, their antimicrobial effects were investigated using agar well diffusion and tubular dilution methods. The extract from the flowers of T. erectashowed a great potential antibacterial activity against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria.

Abstract –Medicinal plants are nature’s hidden and unexplored treasures (nature’s pharmacy) for humanity since times immemorial. The plant EcliptaAlba has many medicinal value used in the traditional Ayurvedic and Unani System.EcliptaAlba (L.) commonly known as bhringraj as well as false daisy, a species of plant in the family Asteraceae.This herb contains many bioactive components such as coumestans i.e. wedelolactone anddimethyl wedelolactone, flavonoids, stero- ids, etc. We have examined it antioxidant activity through DPPH & reducing power assay and we got in it total phenolic content, flavonoids and sterol as good antioxident agents. The antioxidant activity was assessed through DPPH and reducing power assay, which was explained in terms of effective concentration EC50/IC50.

Abstract-The four different varieties (white, yellow, pink and red) of Portulaca grandiflora (Moss Rose)were screened for their preliminary phytochemical estimation. These plants were extracted by diethyl ether, acetone and ethanol, respectively. The results showed that all the different extracts having considerable amount of all the phytochemicals except steroids and anthraquinone. Ethanolic extract of all plant varieties show maximum qualitative estimation while the extract prepare with diethyl ether shows minimum.

Abstract-Essential oils are volatile complex compounds which are characterized by a strong odour and are formed naturally by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. The practical value of essential oils in daily life is explored through the study of numerous physicochemical characteristics (Parthiban et al., 2011). Physicochemical characteristics indirectly influence the quality of the essential oils. The commercial importance of oils mostly depends on these physicochemical characteristics, which provide baseline data to determine its suitability for consumption. Therefore, the present study was taken to evaluate characteristics of the essential oil extracted from the leaves and rhizomes of Acoruscalamus which is a wild aromatic plant species growing in the lower Himalayan region and the essential oil extracted from the plant is used frequently in skin care and aromatherapy to uplift mood and relieve stress. Essential oil was extracted from both rhizome and leaves (Ac R and Ac L) of Acoruscalamus and are analysed for characteristics like yield, specific gravity, viscosity, refractive index, acid number, saponification value, etc. Results indicated that that essential oil Ac R is more superior to Ac L in quality enhancing its commercial importance and can be taken up for further studies.
摘要:精油是具有强烈气味的挥发性复杂化合物,是芳香植物的次生代谢产物。通过对精油众多理化特性的研究,探索精油在日常生活中的实用价值(Parthiban et al., 2011)。精油的理化特性间接影响其品质。石油的商业价值主要取决于这些物理化学特性,这些特性为确定其是否适合消费提供了基准数据。因此,本研究对生长在喜马拉雅地区的野生芳香植物菖蒲的叶子和根茎中提取的精油的特性进行了评价,菖蒲精油经常被用于皮肤护理和芳香疗法中,以提升情绪和缓解压力。从菖蒲根茎和叶片(Ac R和Ac L)中提取精油,并对其产率、比重、粘度、折射率、酸值、皂化值等特性进行了分析。结果表明,香精油Ac R质量优于Ac L,具有重要的商业价值,值得进一步研究。

Abstract-Trewia nudiflora Linn belongs to family Euphorbiaceae, sub-family Acalyphoideae and it is one of the important medicinal plants in Indian systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Siddha, etc. It has numerous phytochemical and pharmacological significance. The kernels ofTrewia nudiflorawere chemically examinedand fatty oil was isolated and characterized by Gas Liquid Chromatography. The fatty oil content in the kernels was found to be 20.99% on moisture free basis. Arachidic acid (40.25%) and Linolenic acid (30.26%) were identified as major constituent. Physico-chemical analysis of fatty oil was also carried out.

detecting the phytochemicals and evaluating comparative antimicrobial activities of Ziziphusjujuba, and Z. Nummulariafruits extract known for their medicinal properties in folk medicine. The comparative assessment of antifungal activity was performed in terms of percentage of radial on solid medium (potatoes dextrose agar PDA) against Aspergillus flavus, M.gypseum, T. flavurus clem and Penicillium expansum. The antibacterial effect was studied by the agar direct contact method using Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa B.cereus, B.pumilus, M. luteus and Escherichia col strains. The results revealed that the methanolic extract and the acetonic extract exhibited significant antimicrobial activity of concentration of 100-500 µg/ml against tested organisms respectively.

Abstract-The present study was investigated for the contamination level in river Yamuna, Delhi. A total 10 samples of Yamuna river water from different locations specifically under the territory of Delhi were collected and then analysed quantitatively for Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Total Coliform Count (TCC) as well as Total Yeast & Mold Count. Simulataneously, qualitative analysis for E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was also made in order to confirm the pathogenicity of Yamuna water. The isolates isolated also showed potential heavy metal tolerance study because they show complete resistance against 1000ppm concentration of iron. Hence, they can be used for bioremediation purposes for the removal of heavy metals.
