Medicinal Uses: It is used in the treatment of constipation, diarrhea, fevers and blood disorders.Its use is also been recommended in case of chronic skin diseases, urinary diseases and cough.It is used in syphilis, scrofula, leprosy, gall bladder disease and given in ague and jaundice. The plant is used to purify blood in cutaneous disease and liver obstruction. Externally used for the treatment of boils, sores and abscesses due to its mucilage content. Side Effects: GI complaints, flushing, bleeding, drowsiness, sedation, eye problem, trembling, convulsions, death. Contraindications: Pregnancy and lactation; long treatments are contraindicated, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, epilepsy, glaucoma, biliary tract infection, gall stones, jaundice. Dosage: Plant can be taken as an infusion 2-4 g per 200 ml of water, thrice a day. Do not prolong the treatment more than 15 days. To treat muscle spasms associated with stomach and intestinal disorders, 250-milligram capsules have been taken by mouth. To treat skin problems, a 1:5 tincture of Fumaria in 25% alcohol has been taken by mouth in doses of 1-2 milliliters three times daily. Doses of 1-4 milliliters of a 1:5 liquid extract of 254 Fumaria in a 45% alcohol solution have been taken by mouth. Various topical preparations containing Fumaria have been applied to the skin. To treat irritable bowel syndrome, 1,500 milligrams of Fumaria has been taken daily in three divided doses for 18 weeks. Drug interactions Interactions with Drugs : Fumaria may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as warfarin (Coumadin®) or heparin, antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®). Fumaria may increase the amount of drowsiness caused by some drugs. Examples include benzodiazepines such as lorazepam (Ativan®) or diazepam (Valium®), barbiturates such as phenobarbital, narcotics such as codeine, some antidepressants, and alcohol. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery. Fumaria may also interact with acne medication, agents that may treat muscle spasms, anticancer agents, antifungal agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-parasitic, antipyretics (agents that may reduce fever), antiviral agents, central nervous system (CNS) depressants, cholinesterase inhibitors, and heart health agents. Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements Fumaria may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba , and fewer cases with garlic and saw palmetto. Numerous other agents may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding, although this has not been proven in most cases. Fumaria may increase the amount of drowsiness caused by some herbs or supplements. Fumaria may also interact with acne-treating herbs and supplements, anticancer herbs and supplements, antifungal herbs and supplements, anti-inflammatory herbs and supplements, anti- parasitic herbs and supplements, antipyretics (herbs and supplements that may reduce fever), central nervous system (CNS) depressants, cholinergics, heart health herbs and supplements, and herbs and supplements that may treat muscle spasms. Physico-chemical parameters of the study drugs Physico-chemical parameters like foreign matter, moisture content (Loss on Drying), pH, total ash, acid insoluble ash, water soluble extractive, alcohol soluble extractive values of F. indica were determined.

ABSTRACT The work is a study of the geometry of the molecules via molecular mechanics of the main alkaloids found in the seeds of Argemone Mexicana Linn, a prickly poppy, which is considered one of the most important species of plants in traditional Mexican and Indian medicine system. The seeds have toxic properties as well as bactericide, hallucinogenic, fungicide, insecticide, in isoquinolines and sanguinarine alkaloids such as berberine. A computational study of the molecular geometry of the molecules through molecular mechanics of the main alkaloids compounds present in plant seeds is described in a computer simulation. The plant has active ingredients compounds: allocryptopine, berberine, chelerythrine, copsitine, dihydrosanguinarine, protopine and sanguinarine. The studied alkaloids form two groups having similar charge distribution among themselves, which have dipole moments of these two times higher than in the other group.

Methods: The antimicrobial activity of various extracts of A. Mexicana were analysed by using agar well disc diffusion method. Results: The ethanolic and methanolic extracst of A. mexicana had showed significant antimicrobial activity. Similar result was not observed in other four extracts. The higher content of reducing sugar, flavanoids, tannin, sterol, terpene and alkaloid were found in all the extracts of A. Mexicana are comparable with Amoxicillin. Conclusion: The results obtained from this study indicate that A. mexicana is a potential source of antimicrobial and thus could prevent many diseases. Keywords: A. mexicana, Antimicrobial activity, Phytochemical analysis, Infectious diseases, Medicinal plants and Plant extract.

Tyagi DAYALBAGH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE (DEEMED UNIVERSITY) DAYALBAGH, AGRA JANUARY-2018 1 INTRODUCTION Medicinal plants are considered as an effective source of both traditional remedies as well as modern medicine. The medicines which are obtained from the plants are much cheaper and effective in comparison with modern medicines (Abhishek et al., 2010). The medicinal plants are used to cure various diseases since ancient times in South Asia (Bhattacharjee, 1998). Popularity of herbal medicines has increased in recent years. Medicinal utility of plants is due to the presence of a difference of phytoconstituents in the plant tissues, which cast a specific physiological activity on the human body. Some of these constituents are toxic also (Sheeba, 2010). New antimicrobial agents have been discovered from crude extracts derived from plants to eradicate problem of drug resistance (Cordell, 2000; Hemaiswarya et al., 2008; Karaman et al., 2003; Raghavendra et al., 2005). Natural antimicrobials can be obtained from various plant parts, animal tissues or from microorganisms. These active components can be present in any part of the plant (Gordon and David, 2001; Nair and Chanda, 2004). These plant constituents were proven to be a remedy for a number of human diseases. Many plants are abundant source for their antibacterial, antiseptic and antioxidant effects for their protection from infections.
