Abstract-Tinosporacordifoliaisapopularmedicinal plant which is used in several traditional medicines to cure various diseases. The common names are Amrita and Guduchi, belonging to the family of Menispermaceae. The aim of the study was to study the stem extract of traditional medicinal plant, T. cordifolia for qualitative estimation of phytoconsituents and subsequently to determine its antibacterialactivityagainsttwotestmicroorganisms Escherichia coliand Pseudomonas aeruginosato authenticate its use in traditional medicines. Stems were air-dried and coarsely powdered samples were subjectedto Soxhlet extractionusingdiversesolvents(Hexane,chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol and water). Freshly prepared extracts were exposed to standard phytochemical analysis for qualitative estimation of phytoconsituents. The antibacterial activity of the stem extract of T. cordifolia was determined by agar well diffusion method. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of several phytochemicals viz., alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenol, tannins, steroid, terpenoids, saponins and sugars. The methanolic extract displayed the presence of highest number of phytochemical compounds. It may be due to the higher solubility of active components in this solvent as compared to other solvents. The results revealed that the methanolic extract exhibit the effective antibacterial activity against the tested bacterial species . The studies justify the use of T. cordifolia in traditional medicines. The investigation further proposed that the metabolites present in leaf tissue of T. cordifolia can be potential source of novel natural antibacterial and antioxidant agents and can be prospective applications in food industry as an antioxidant

Abstract-Gluten intolerance /allergies is now a silently rising problem world-wide. Gluten is a protein composite found in cereals, wheat, rice, barley and certain oat varieties. It also causes Celiac disease which is an autoimmune disease (most severe form of gluten intolerance), resulting from glutenintoleranceandisbasedongeneticintolerance. The only therapeutic treatment for the patients with gluten allergies and celiac disease is a strict gluten free diet. Rising demand for gluten free products is a task for the bakers and manufacturers to eliminate gluten completely from their products which is technically not possible. This draws the attention to the fact that mandatory analysis in this field is required. The aim of this work is to find a way to reduce the gluten content in the available materials, and also to find the source of gluten contamination after processing of raw materials. It wasnotedthatgarlicandsugarcontainingcombination were found effective and showed decrease in gluten content and that they were better additivities in the processing process than rest of others.

Abstract-The inflammatory response involves a complex array of enzyme activation, mediator release, fluid extra vasations, cell migration, tissue breakdown and repair which are aimed at host defence and usually activated in disease condition. Currently much interest has been shown in the searching of medicinal plants with anti-inflammatory activity which may lead to the discovery of new therapeutic agent that is not only used to suppress the inflammation but also used in diverse disease conditions where the inflammation response is amplifying in the disease process. In the present study, the selectionofBignoniavenustaplantforevaluation was based on its traditional usages. Preparation of different extracts from non polar and polar solvent were prepared to study the phytochemical analysis in different extracts and antiinflammatoryactivitiesofdifferentextracts. Methanol extract was found to be the richest extract for phytoconstituents and from the comparison with the standard drug aspirin, it was observed that the concentration of 2000 μg/ml of methanol extract showed maximum activity (58.0%) at 560 nm while the other extract from petroleum ether, in comparison with standard drug aspirin shows no activity.

Abstract-Inflammation is a pathophysiological response of living tissues to injuries that leads to the local accumulation of plasmatic fluid and blood cells. Although it is a defense mechanism, the complex events and mediators involved the inflammatory reaction can induce, maintain or aggravate many diseases. Therefore, the uses of anti-inflammatory agents are helpful in the therapeutic treatment of these pathologies. In this context, medicinal plants are widely used in folk medicine of many countries to treat differentinflammatoryconditionsand,inparticular, skin inflammations. Present work was designed to formulate herbal gel using extract of Sarcosteema acidumstem which provide better efficacy and to ensure biological evaluation of prepared herbal gel for safety and efficacy.

ABSTRACT-Menopause is a natural process in women's reproductive life at the age of 40 to 50 years and leads to deficiency of estrogen causing various complications in women's health. Prunus amygdalusnuts are abundant source of various phytoestrogens and produces effect similar to that of estrogen and can be used in menopausal women in place of HRT. In the present study ovotoxicity and menopause wasinducedinfemaleratsby4-vinylcyclohexane diepoxide (165 mg/kg, i.p. five times a week for 15 days). After induction menopause the animals were treated with the paste of dried seeds of Prunus amygdalusat the doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o. for 45 days. Blood estrogen level was checked before and after administration of VCD to confirm induction of menopause. After the treatment period of 45 days blood was collected from the animals, centrifuged and serum was separated and used for the estimation of estrogen, cholesterol,triglyceride,HDL,LDLandVLDL. Ovaries were isolated from the treated animals,keptinicecoldtrisbuffer,homogenized and centrifuged. The supernatant was used for the estimation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase). Results indicate that administration of seeds of Prunus amygdalus at different dose levels do not have anyeffectonserumestrogenlevelbutsignificantlyimprovedlipidprofileanddecreased atherogenic index in postmenopausal rats. Asignificant decrease in the MDAand increase in antioxidant enzymes level was observed in postmenopausal rats after treatment with paste of dried seeds of Prunus amygdalus. Results conclude that administration of seeds of Prunus amygdalus for a long period of time may improve the cardiovascular complications of women's health after menopause.

Abstract-Medicinal Plants are always of immense vital component for pharmaceutical word. Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem, has attracted worldwide prominence in recent years owing to its wide range of medicinal properties. Neem is a medicinal plant which is always at top from ancient world to modern world. The importance of the neem tree has been recognized by the US National Academy of Sciences, which published a report in 1992 entitled 'Neem- a tree for solving global problems'. Various parts of neem are sources for mankind to treat many severe diseases. More than 140 compounds have been isolated from different parts of neem. All parts of the neem tree- leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, roots and bark have been used traditionally for the treatment of inflammation, infections, fever, skin diseases and dental disorders. Neem leafanditsconstituentshavebeendemonstrated to exhibit immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory,antihyperglycaemic,antiulcer,antimalarial,antifungal,antibacterial,antiviral,antioxidant,antimutagenicandanticarcinogenicproperties. Keeping these points in view the present study is aimed to study antimicrobial activity of plant extracts prepared from leaves of neem plant against Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonasaeruginosa,Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. There is a significant antimicrobial activity observed by neem leave extract against these microbial strains.
