It and traditional medicines benefits 80 percent of aids in the metabolism of ingested substances like population on earth (Gewali & Awake 2008, food, alcohol, dietary substances and most Wangchuk et al. 2011). In modern pharmacopoeia, medications (Govind and Pandey 2011, Thomas et almost 25 percent of all drugs were derived from al. 2011). There are many causes of liver disorders, plants (Phytomedicines) and other are synthetic but the major causes are various toxic chemicals, analogous of natural products (Pseudo natural some antibiotics, alcohol, and food. In addition, liver products) built on prototype compounds derived from disorders are also caused due to the infections of plants (Bandaranayake 2006). Several medicinal various kinds of parasites, viruses, fungi or bacteria. plants and their formulations have been used around Different liver disorders like hepatitis, jaundice, the world for the treatment of liver diseases and this inflammation of liver, cirrhosis (a digestive disorder has encouraged the scientific community to research that is the result of liver fibrosis), and liver cancer the effect of these medicinal plants which can treat also be caused by autoimmune distractions (Govind HCV in a comprehensive manner (Ashfaq & Idress & Pandey 2011). The word hepatitis originates from 2014). Many drugs have been reported against HCV two Greek words, hepta that refers to liver and it is until date and many of them are found successful in meaning inflammation. Hepatitis is present in many clinical trials, but viral resistance and the negative forms such as including virus hepatitis, autoimmune effects of these drugs have made their therapeutical hepatitis, fatty liver hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and application against HCV limited (Kitazato et al. toxin induced hepatitis these all types of hepatitis is 2007). The effect of Acacia nilotica (AN) in inhibition identified as a hepatitis virus that attack and harm of HCV and of other plants e.g. against herpes liver cells (Khan et al. 2010). simplex virus (HSV), poliovirus type 1, coxsackievirus B5 and Echovirus have been confirmed (Konowalchuk and Spears 1976). Our The Hepatitis B virus was first studied in 1963 study aims to elicit plant species used against liver (Cusheri 2002) and it is estimated that more than two disorders especially hepatitis. billion people have ate some point been infected with HBV on global level (World Health Organization Materials and Methods 2000.

  • Globalisation of Herbal Drugs: a Bliss and Concern
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2012): 3.358 Globalisation of Herbal Drugs: A Bliss and Concern Jyoti Ahlawat1, Nidhi Verma2, Anita R. Sehrawat3 1, 2, 3Department of Botany, M. D. University, Rohtak, India Abstract: A “man earth relationship” has been well canvassed to encourage the usage of botanicals. The use of plants for healing purposes predates to the Neanderthal period in human history and forms the origin of much modern medicine. 25% of drugs prescribed worldwide come from plants. India has about 45000 plant species out of which 15,000-20,000 have active principles of proven medicinal values. India ranks second in the world in herbal medicine and there is enormous scope to emerge as a major player. Natural plant products are perceived to be healthier than manufactured medicine Herbal medicines are now in great demand in the developing world for primary health care not because they are inexpensive but also for better cultural acceptability, better compatibility with the human body and minimal side effects. However recent findings indicate that traditional herbal products are heterogeneous in nature and may not be safe and impose a number of challenges to qualify control, quality assurance, effectiveness and the regulatory process. Some products contain mercury, lead, arsenic and corticosteroids and poisonous organic substances in harmful amount. Hepatic failure and even death following ingestion of herbal medicine have been reported. Medicinal plant materials and possibly herbal tea, if stored improperly allow the growth of Aspergillus flavus a known producer of aflotoxin mycotoxin. Herbal preparation should be used with extreme caution on the advice of a herbalist familiar with the relevant conventional pharmacology.

Plants belonging to the Scorzonera genus have been a significant part of folk medicine in Asia, especially China, Mongolia, and Turkey for centuries. Therefore, they have become the subject of research regarding their phytochemical composition and biological activity. The aim of this review is to present and assess the phytochemical composition, and bioactive potential of species within the genus Scorzonera. Studies have shown the presence of many bioactive compounds like triterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, flavonoids, or caffeic acid and quinic acid derivatives in extracts obtained from aerial and subaerial parts of the plants. The antioxidant and cytotoxic properties have been evaluated, together with the mechanism of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and hepatoprotective activity. Scorzonera species have also been investigated for their activity against several bacteria and fungi strains. Despite mild cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines in vitro, the bioactive properties in wound healing therapy and the treatment of microbial infections might, in perspective, be the starting point for the research on Scorzonera species as active agents in medical products designed for Citation: Lendzion, K.; Gornowicz, miscellaneous skin conditions.

  • 1 Alkaloid Drugs
    1 Alkaloid Drugs Most plant alkaloids are derivatives of tertiary amines, while others contain primary, secondary or quarternary nitrogen. The basicity of individual alkaloids varies consider- ably, depending on which of the four types is represented. The pK, values (dissociation constants) lie in the range of 10-12 for very weak bases (e.g. purines), of 7-10 for weak bases (e.g. Cinchona alkaloids) and of 3-7 for medium-strength bases (e.g. Opium alkaloids). 1.1 Preparation of Extracts Alkaloid drugs with medium to high alkaloid contents (31%) Powdered drug (Lg) is mixed thoroughly with Iml 10Yo ammonia solution or 10% General method, Na,CO, solution and then extracted for lOmin with 5ml methanol under reflux. The extraction filtrate is then concentrated according to the total alltaloids of the specific drug, so that method A 100p1 contains 50-100pg total alkaloids (see drug list, section 1.4). Rarmalae semen: Powdered drug (Ig) is extracted with lOml methanol for 30min Exception under reflux. The filtrate is diluted 1:10 with methanol and 20pl is used for TLC. Strychni semen: Powdered seeds (Ig) are defatted with 20 rnl n-hexane for 30min under reflux. The defatted seeds are then extracted with lOml methanol for lOmin under reflux. A total of 30yl of the filtrate is used for TL.C. Colchici semen: Powdered seeds (1 g) are defatted with 20 ml n-hexane for 30 min under reflux. The defiitted seeds are then extracted for 15 min with 10ml chloroform. After this, 0.4ml 10% NH, is added to the mixture, shaken vigorously and allowed to stand for about 30min before fillration.

Abstract: Current pharmacological treatments for insomnia carry several and long-term side effects. Therefore, natural products without side effects are warranted. In this study, the sleep-promoting activity of the lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera) extract was assessed using ICR mice and Sprague Dawley rats. A pentobarbital-induced sleep test and electroencephalogram analysis were conducted to measure sleep latency time, duration, and sleep architecture. The action mechanism of the extract was evaluated through ligand binding experiments. A high dose (300 mg/kg) of the ethanolic lotus leaf extract significantly increased sleep duration compared to the normal group (p < 0.01). Administration of low (150 mg/kg) and high doses (300 mg/kg) of the extract significantly increased Citation: Kim, S.; Hong, K.-B.; Jo, K.; sleep quality, especially the relative power of theta waves (p < 0.05), compared to the normal Suh, H.J.

Frequent mutations in its genome structure often result in resistance to standard medications. Thus, new generations of treatments are critical to combat this ever-evolving infection. Plant materials and active compounds have been tested for many years, including, more recently, active compounds like flavonoids. Quercetin is a compound belonging to the flavonols class and has shown therapeutic effects against influenza virus.
