To evaluate and compare the analgesic anti-inflammatory activity of pure compound, piperine along with hexane ethanol extracts Piper nigrum L. fruit in mice rats.The was determined by tail immersion method, analgesy-meter, hot plate acetic acid induced writhing test. While evaluated carrageenan-induced paw inflammation rats.Piperine at a dose 5 mg/kg extract 15 after 120 min 10 60 exhibited significant (P<0.05) comparison to using analgesy-meter rats. However, hotplate produced lower doses...

INTRODUCTION Guidelines for suspected malignant melanoma recommend a prompt, full-thickness excision biopsy allowing diagnosis and assessment of the Breslow thickness. Incisional is acceptable only extensive facial lentigo maligna or acral melanoma. Punch, shave other types biopsies do not allow pathological staging are, therefore, recommended. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total 100 referrals histology-proven were assessed retrospectively over 1-year period (2005). RESULTS Of patients included in...

Poly-herbal therapies for chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM) have been practiced in south Asia centuries. One of such comprises Hordeum vulgare, Elettaria cardamomum and Cicer arietinum that shown encouraging therapeutic potential the treatment obesity. Therefore, poly-herbal granules (PHGs) this formula were developed investigated their anti-diabetic anti-obesity obese-diabetic rats. The PHGs chemical characterized virtual molecular docking was performed by Discovery studio...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most prevalent endocrine disorder. Numerous individual herbs possess anti-diabetic activity. The seeds of Hordeum vulgare, Elettaria cardamomum and Cicer arietinum are traditionally used to manage DM. ambition this work was formulate poly-herbal granules (PHGs) comprising these three functional foods evaluate their in-vitro antioxidant antidiabetic potential. dried seed extracts were in a ratio 2.5:1:1 PHGs by wet granulation method. selected on basis...

Abstract Background: Rosmarinus officinalis L . (Rosemary), traditionally used herb for gut motility disorders. However, limited studies are available to provide the pharmacological basis its medicinal use. Aim: We aimed evaluate effectiveness of rosemary in constipation and diarrhea with mechanisms. Method: The Hydro-ethanolic extract (Rs.Cr) was analyzed phytosonstituents using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Laxative antidiarrheal assay were assessed in-vivo...

DNA-based molecular markers have great importance among other methods used for the authentication, detection, and identification of medicinal herbal species. Currently, it is more common to identify species (monoherbal or polyherbal forms) morphologically by using sensory, macroscopic, microscopic methods. made an easy accurate detection polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which involves in vitro amplification a particular region DNA sequence. In current study, we heterogenic parts isolation...
