  • A Review on the Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Genus Tephrosia
    Phytopharmacology 2013, 4(3), 598-637 Touqeer et al. A Review on the Phytochemistry and Pharmacology of Genus Tephrosia Saad Touqeer1,*, Muhammad Asad Saeed1, Muhammad Ajaib2 1Department of Pharmacy, The University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan. 2Department of Botany, GC University, Lahore, Pakistan. *Corresponding author: [email protected]; Tel: +92-322-4899048 Received: 2 March 2013, Revised: 2 May 2013, Accepted: 9 May 2013 Abstract The plants of genus Tephrosia of family Leguminosae are widely distributed in many tropical and subtropical countries of the world and have been used in folk medicine for the treatment of large number of diseases. The importance of this gen- us is similar to that of other therapeutically renowned genera. This review includes the chemical studies on different species mainly the isolation and identification of flavonoids, rotenoids and study of activity of some isolated compounds and also includes diffe-rent pharmacological activities like antioxidant, antimicrobial, antic- ancer, antiplas-modial, anti-inflammatory, larvicidal and toxicity studies of extracts and fractions. Keywords: Tephrosia; Flavonoids; Rotenoids; Phytochemistry; Pharmacology; Acivity. Introduction Plants have been used for the treatment of diseases from centuries. Natural product chemistry, especially phytochemistry, has become a topic of interest for most of the research- hers due to the advantages of the plant derived medicinal compounds over the traditional ways of using herbal plants. Ethnopharmacology plays an important role in the discovery of new biologically active compounds. The process usually starts with searching of useful plants from different records to the development of methods for the industrial production of drugs (Rout et al., 2009; Farnsworth et al., 1985; Koehn and Carter, 2005).

  • Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).

  • Taxonomy and Conservation Status of Pteridophyte Flora of Sri Lanka R.H.G
    Taxonomy and Conservation Status of Pteridophyte Flora of Sri Lanka R.H.G. Ranil and D.K.N.G. Pushpakumara University of Peradeniya Introduction The recorded history of exploration of pteridophytes in Sri Lanka dates back to 1672-1675 when Poul Hermann had collected a few fern specimens which were first described by Linneus (1747) in Flora Zeylanica. The majority of Sri Lankan pteridophytes have been collected in the 19th century during the British period and some of them have been published as catalogues and checklists. However, only Beddome (1863-1883) and Sledge (1950-1954) had conducted systematic studies and contributed significantly to today’s knowledge on taxonomy and diversity of Sri Lankan pteridophytes (Beddome, 1883; Sledge, 1982). Thereafter, Manton (1953) and Manton and Sledge (1954) reported chromosome numbers and some taxonomic issues of selected Sri Lankan Pteridophytes. Recently, Shaffer-Fehre (2006) has edited the volume 15 of the revised handbook to the flora of Ceylon on pteridophyta (Fern and FernAllies). The local involvement of pteridological studies began with Abeywickrama (1956; 1964; 1978), Abeywickrama and Dassanayake (1956); and Abeywickrama and De Fonseka, (1975) with the preparations of checklists of pteridophytes and description of some fern families. Dassanayake (1964), Jayasekara (1996), Jayasekara et al., (1996), Dhanasekera (undated), Fenando (2002), Herat and Rathnayake (2004) and Ranil et al., (2004; 2005; 2006) have also contributed to the present knowledge on Pteridophytes in Sri Lanka. However, only recently, Ranil and co workers initiated a detailed study on biology, ecology and variation of tree ferns (Cyatheaceae) in Kanneliya and Sinharaja MAB reserves combining field and laboratory studies and also taxonomic studies on island-wide Sri Lankan fern flora.

  • Evaluation of Cytotoxic, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of Phyto-Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles of Tephrosia Calophylla Bedd
    International Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences-IJPBSTM (2019) 9 (2): 1448-1464 Online ISSN: 2230-7605, Print ISSN: 2321-3272 Research Article | Biological Sciences | Open Access | MCI Approved UGC Approved Journal Evaluation of Cytotoxic, Antimicrobial and Antioxidant Activities of Phyto-synthesized Silver Nanoparticles of Tephrosia calophylla Bedd. Gorantla Ramakrishna and *Nimmanapalli Yasodamma Department of Botany, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati-517501. Received: 10 Jan 2019 / Accepted: 9 Mar 2019 / Published online: 1 Apr 2019 Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] Abstract The plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles has significant application in biomedicine due to its novel properties and its eco-friendly nature. The present study deals with the biosynthesis of stable silver nanoparticles (SNPs) from aqueous rhizome extract of Tephrosia calophylla (TC). The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, Zeta potential, FTIR, XRD, TEM and EDAX methods. Colour change of the synthesized solution observed from Gray to brown indicates the formation of nanoparticles and UV–Vis surface plasmonresonance spectroscopy observed at 435 nm further confirmed the synthesis of nanoparticles as SNPs. FTIR spectroscopic studies confirm that phenols and proteins of rhizome extracts are mainly responsible for capping and stabilization of synthesized SNPs. The XRD data shows crystalline nature of nanoparticles and EDAX measurements reveals the presence of 69.56% Ag metal. Zeta potential at -19.9mV, negative value indicates the high stability of Nanoparticles. TEM microscopic analysis revealed that the size of synthesized SNPs ranges from 7 to 32.4 nm with spherical shape. Antimicrobial studies of AgNPs showed highest Zone of Inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (32.75mm) among bacterial strains.

M.So. B.L PROFESSOU OF BOTANY, PRESIDENCY COLLEGE, CALCUTTA PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA 1927 To My Mother PREFACE My thesis on Plants and Plant-life as in Indian treatises and traditions, submitted and finally approved for the Griffith Memorial Prize for 1925, is being presented at last in the follow- ing pages to the reading public. I must humbly mention that this thesis is rather a result of cer- tain specific inquiries, undertaken by me in 1923, to satisfy a curiosity as to what wealth of inform- ation on the subject of Plants and Plant-life might yet be gathered from Indian literature which is a continuous record of many centuries and a vast store-house of human experiences, fancies and speculations. It was not an easy task for me to face the difficulties of exploiting the various sources of information, specially where these remained concealed in Sanskrit and other Indian works not accessible to me in English translations. It is happy to recall to my mind that when I had proceeded with the task the prospect was far from being bright, but to my great astonishment, within a month I was able to collect numerous passages having bearings PREFACE viii upon the subject, and enabling me to conceive a much wider plan of treatment than one restricted to the requirements of the Science of Botany.
