E-mail : [email protected] Abstract : The phytochemical and antimicrobial activity of the petroleum ether and crude methanol extracts, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of the leaves of Lannea kerstingii were investigated. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of steroids and triterpenes in the petroleum ether extract, steroid, triterpene, flavonoids and tannins in both crude methanol extract and chloroform fraction while the ethyl acetate fraction contained only flavonoids and tannins. The extracts exhibited antimicrobial activities with zones of inhibition ranging from 17.00 to 21.03, 20.10 to 25.24, 25.32 to 34.02 and 22.28 to 27.20 mm for petroleum ether extract, methanol extract, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration was between 5 and 10mg/ml, 5mg/ml for the petroleum ether and methanol extract respectively, and between 2.5 and 5 mg/ml, 5mg/ml for the acetate fractions. The minimum bactericidal concentration for all the extracts was 40mg/ml respectively except for chloroform fraction which ranged from 20 to 40mg/ml. The minimum fungicidal concentration for all the extracts was found to be 40mg/ml respectively. This result indicates the broad spectrum antimicrobial potential of L. Kerstingii and justifies the use of this plant in traditional medicine. Keywords : antimicrobial, phytochemical, barteri, lannea kerstingii Introduction : the living conditions

    Int J Ayu Pharm Chem REVIEW ARTICLE www.ijapc.com e-ISSN 2350-0204 Vasti Karma (Enema Therapy) in Agada Tantra – A Review Perera K M S P1*, Chaitra H2 and Sharad Kumar M3 1,2Department of Agada Tantra , SDM college of Ayurveda , Hassan , Karnataka , India 3Department of Samhita Siddhartha, SDM college of Ayurveda, Hassan, Karnataka, India ABSTRACT Agada tantra uses shodhana karma in management of all poisons. Shodhanakarma includes all panchakarma but in agada tantra usage of vasti karma is restricted or limited. Objective of this research work is to find out the causes for the restriction of vasti karma in management of poisoning in samhitas. Thorough review of literature was done on vastikarma, mode of action, relation with marma, indication, side effects, contraindication etc. All agada tantra references in vuddhatrayas were reviewed for any indication of vasti related to agada tantra. Possible mode of action was discussed in this article with the correlation of modern medical views and possible interaction of poisonous substances with vasti medicines are discussed in this article. Relation of marma and vasti is and effects of poison with vasti to marma especially sadyapranahara marma is elaborated in the discussion. Contraindications of anuvasana vasti and niruha vasti according to vuddhatrayas are analysed to probe the relation with poisonous substances. It was found that most of contraindicated symptoms are elicited in poisoning cases. After thorough review of literature in agada tantra sections of Charaka, Susruta and Ashtanga Hridayasamhitas, only one indication of vasti was found in relation to agada tantra. Which is indicated by vagbhata acharya in 36th chapter of uttara stana.

Environmental pollution is a very major & attention seeker problem in the present time. Pollution is the process whereby the natural environment is introduced with contaminants that later cause change it. Pollution isan issue that has to be considered serious because it hurts natural elements that are responsible for life on earth such as water and air. Indeed without it, or if they were present on undesirable quantities, animals – including humans – and plants could not survive. Environmental pollution consists of a basic type of pollution, namely, air, water, and soil. Ayurvedic toxicology (Agadtantra) is a special branch of Astanga Ayurveda which deals with the identification of poison, types of poison from minerals, plant and animal kingdoms as well as artificial poisons and their treatment. The concept of air, water, and land pollution has also been discussed under various classical books and their role in causing epidemics and ruining of civilizations has been informed.

ABSTRACT Background: Bilwadi Agada is indicated for the management of sarpa visha, lootavisha, Garavisha etc. It needs to be potentiated in order to increase its veerya. Bhavana samskara, is a wet trituration process and also considered as a size reduction technology, is an essential processing practice in preparation of Bilwadi Agada. Ambiguity in Protocol of bhavana samskara still prevails among Ayurveda fraternity as no specific time duration is indicated and hence need to be standardized with respect to safety and efficacy. Hence preclinical evaluation of Bilwadi agada is undertaken to standardize time duration of bhavana samskara by keeping particle size as analytical parameter. Aims and Objective: To evaluate the impact of Ajamootra bhavana on Physico-chemical and Phyto-chemical parameters of Bilwadi Agada and To evaluate variation in particle size of Bilwadi Agada depending upon different time interval of Bhavana samskara Methodology: Bilwadi Agada was prepared using Ajamootra bhavana in different time intervals. Three samples were analysed for physico and phytochemical parameters by keeping particle size as one of the investigating tool. Observation and Results: Qualitative analysis revealed presence of Carbohydrates, reducing sugar, alkaloids, proteins, amino acids, fats and oils, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, Carbonate, Iron, Chloride and Nitrate in all samples.
