Phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of leaves and bark of Ceropegia rollae Hemadri

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract of the leaves and the bark of the plant Ceropegia rollae Hemadri. The antioxidant activity of the both leaves and bark extract was studied using FRAP and DPPH method. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity and phytochemical characterization were carried using known protocols. The various phytochemical components such as total phenolics and flavonoids were determined. The plant Ceropegia rollae also contains tannis and ascorbic acid. This is related to the antioxidant activity of the plant Ceropegia rollae extract. The leaves shows good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity as compared to the bark. These can be used as natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents

Green synthesis of the plant assisted nanoparticles from Euphorbia neriifolia L. and its application in the degradation of dyes from industrial waste

In the world industries are growing very rapidly resulting in fast development. Various industries are coming up such as that of dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals etc. Dyes are used in various industries and release pollutants in the environment. It is necessary to remove such pollutants from the environment. Euphorbia neriifolia L. grow as the weed in the forests of the konkan region in waste land area. This weed is a typical latex bearing plant. This latex can be converted into the powder under sun drying process. This powder can be used for the preparation of Fe nanoparticles. The plant assisted synthesized nanoparticles have good particle size, morphology and band gap. These nanoparticles used for the degradation of the dye like Methylene Blue and Methylene Red from the industrial waste. It gives very good results. We can develop new catalyst for the degradation of the dyes from the industrial waste. It act as good catalyst by the simple non form of the catalyst. This catalyst is derived from the plant Euphorbia neriifolia L. latex

ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY STUDY OF LEAVES AND BARK OF CASSIA FISTULA

Ethanol, methanol, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, and hexane extracts from Cassia fistula were investigated for their in vitro antimicrobial properties, along with anti-inflammatory activity. All three extract of Cassia fistula were different in terms of their antibacterial activities. The Ethanol extract showed a stronger and broader spectrum of antibacterial activity. study was also carried out to evaluate the in-vitro antioxidant activities of ethanol, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride extract of Cassia fistula s.This was achieved by screening the two plant extracts at varying concentrations (10-50g/ml)using DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and nitric oxide radical scavenging activity. The results were analyzed statistically which showed that ethanol extract Cassia fistula had more antioxidant activity than standard antioxidant.Al extract was also studied for their anti-inflametry activity
