To develop and optimize nanoemulsion (NE)-based emulgel (EG) formulation as a potential vehicle for topical delivery of tea tree oil (TTO).Central composite design was adopted optimizing the processing conditions NE preparation by high energy emulsification method viz. surfactant concentration, co-surfactant stirring speed. The optimized developed into using pH sensitive polymer Carbopol 940 triethanolamine alkalizer. prepared EG evaluated its pH, viscosity, texture parameters, ex vivo...
In the present study, methanol extracts of Costus speciosus Koen. aerial parts were assessed for antiinflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities in experimental animals. The antiinflammatory activity extract (400 800 mg/kg, p.o.) was evaluated using carrageenan-induced paw oedema test. Analgesic effect acetic acid-induced writhing Eddy's hot-plate models by Brewer's yeast-induced pyrexia rats. a dose 400 mg/kg showed significant (19.36 40.05% reduction) at 5 h postmedication. treated...
To evaluate the diagnostic pharmacognostical characters of Costus speciosus (aerial parts) along with their physico-chemical parameters and fluorosence analysis. The were determined in terms macroscopy, microscopy, powder leaf constant, fluorescence analysis preliminary phytochemical investigation. findings macroscopy revealed that leaves elliptic to oblong or oblong-lancoelate, thick, spirally arranged, stem clasping sheaths up 4 cm, flowers large, white, cone-like terminal spikes, bright...
The phytochemical examination of the ethyl acetate extract roots Phyllanthus niruri resulted in isolation and identification Kaetnferol–4' -rhamnopyranoside eriodictyol–7–rhamnopyranoside.
Abstract The rhizome essential oils of Curcuma angustifolia from Central and Southern India were subjected to GC/MS analysis, which resulted in the identification 81 78 constituents, accounting for more than 95 99% oil contents, respectively. major constituents xanthorrhizol isomer (12.7%), methyl eugenol (10.5%), palmitic acid (5.2%) camphor (4.2%), while rhizomes Travancore (Southern India) had germacrone (12.8%), (12.3%), isoborneol (8.7%), curdione (8.4%) 1,8‐cineole (4.8%) as...
Indian geranium (Pelargonium sp.) cultivar 'Bourbon' was grown in agroclimatic conditions of North plains at Lucknow. The herbaceous parts, on steam distillation, gave 0.13% oil a fresh weight basis. GC and GC–MS analysis the resulted identification 69 constituents, representing 97.9% oil. produced Lucknow is comparable to that southern hills India terms its citronellol geraniol content. It suggested can be as an economically viable crop northern India. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Abstract The oil composition of Callistemon citrinus leaves from the lower region Himalayas was examined by GC and GC/MS. Thirty two compounds, representing 98.1% oil, were characterized with 1,8-cineole (66.3 %) α-pinene (18.7%) as major constituents.
Abstract The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation staminate inflorescences kewda ( Pandanus odoratissimus L.) has been compared with from local market. Both oils were subjected to high‐resolution GC and GC–MS, which resulted in identification quantification 85 59 components, amounting 98.7% 98.6% total oils, respectively. major components hydrodistilled 2‐phenyl ethyl methyl ether (37.7%), terpinen‐4‐ol (18.6%), α ‐terpineol (8.3%) alcohol (7.5%), whereas...
The essential oil composition of Murraya exotica leaves and flowers from CIMAP Research Farm, Lucknow, were analysed by GC GC–MS, which resulted in the identification 56 72 constituents, representing 99.8% 99.2% oils, respectively. leaf showed (E)-nerolidol (27.8%), α-zingiberene (10.0%), β-caryophyllene (9.7%), (E,E) farnesol (8.9%) δ-elemene (5.1%) as major while flower (E,E,E)-α-springene (23.8%), (18.7%), α-farnesene (13.2%), methyl palmitate (6.8%) germacrene B (5.9%) constituents....
Abstract Artemisia annua L. 'Asha' was grown in agro-climatic conditions of north Indian plains Lucknow. The aerial parts on hydrodistillation gave 0.53% an oil a fresh weight basis. GC and GC/MS analysis the resulted identification 64 constituents, representing 95.4% oil. ketone (52.9%), 1, 8-cineole (8.4%) camphor (6.0%) were major constituents. It is suggested that A. can be as economically viable crop northern India. Key Word Index: Asteraceaeessential compositionartemisia
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the anthelmintic activity methanolic aqueous extracts aerial parts Costus speciosus in Indian adult earthworms (Pheretima posthuma).
