Abstract: In the present studies, of the crude methanolic (ME) extract, Hexane (HXSF) soluble fraction, carbon tetrachloride (CTCSF) soluble fraction, the Aqueous (AQSF) and chloroform (CSF) soluble fraction fruits of P. cereifera demonstrated strong membrane stabilizing activity. The bark extracts and fruits extracts were demonstrated significant membrane stabilizing activity ranging from (38.49% to 28.84%) compared with Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA). Whereas mild total phenolic content was demonstrated ranging from (3-5.4) gm of GAE/100 gm of dried extract.

Abstract: Abutilon indicum (Bengali name: Jhampi, Petari, Indian name: Atibala, family: Malvaceae) is extensively grown in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan. The pharmacologicals and biologicals properties and chemicals constituents from the plant A. indicum (L.) which is widely used in folk medicine. A. indicum (Malvaceae) is a hairy under-shrub with golden yellow flowers, found in hotter parts of India.This plant is often used as a medicinal plant and is considered invasive on certain tropical islands. In traditional medicine, A. indicum is used as a aphrodisiac, demulcent, diuretic, laxative, pulmonary and sedative (leaves). The bark is astringent and diuretic; laxative, expectorant and demulcent (seeds); laxative and tonic, anti-inflammatory and anthelmintic (plant); analgesic (fixed oil); diuretic and for leprosy (roots). The plant is very much used in Siddha medicines. In fact, the bark, root, leaves, flowers and seeds are all used for medicinal purposes by Tamils. The leaves are also used to treat for pile complaints. The flowers are traditionally used to increase semen in men. The phytochemical analysis showed the Presence of Alkaloid, Saponins, Amino acid, Flavonoids, Glycosides and steroids. This plant exhibits several potential pharmacological activities.

Abstract: Syzygium jambos (L.) Alstone belonging to the Myrtaceae family have been investigated for isolation of their secondary metabolites and evaluation of their biological activities. A total of three compounds have been isolated. The isolated compounds were identified by extensive analysis of their high resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopic data.The dried stem barks of Syzygium jambos was extracted with methanol. The concentrated methanolic extract was then partitioned with vacuum liquid chromatography. The first investigation was conducted with the VLC fraction-6 afforded one pentacyclic triterpenes (SJ-61), VLC fraction-9 afforded a sitosterol (SJ-92) and VLC fraction-16 afforded a triterpene 3-nor-2,3-fridelan derivative (SJ-184). In the brine shrimp lethality bioassay, The LC50 values were found to be 6.97, 18.07, 64.943, 247.596 and 12.75mg/ml for crude methanolic extract, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and n-hexane soluble fractions of methanolic extract of Syzygium jambos respectively representing methanolic extract fraction as highly cytotoxic.

Abstract: This project report describes the biological activity of the dried leaves of Mangifera indica belonging to the family Anacardiaceae and the dried fruits of Areca catechu belonging to the family Arecaceae. The dried powders of leaves and fruits were extracted with organic solvents –Carbon tetrachloride, Methanol & Pet ether sequentially by maceration process. After this, The crude extracts of Carbon tetrachloride, Methanol & Pet ether were investigated for analgesic and antimicrobial property. For Mangifera indica, the crude extracts of Carbon tetrachloride, Methanol & Pet ether were studied for analgesic property at an oral dose of 200 mg /kg of body weight using acetic acid induced writhing effect method. The result showed that the Methanol and Pet ether extracts had mild analgesic property (having a writhing inhibition of 51.7% and 50% respectively), while carbon tetrachloride extract did not show significant analgesic property (having a writhing inhibition of 30 %). For Areca catechu, the crude extracts of Carbon tetrachloride, Methanol & Pet ether were screened for antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi using disk diffusion method. The results obtained were compared with that of standard drug kanamycin. The Carbon tetrachloride extract showed mild sensitivity to several gram positive, gram negative bacteria & Fungi (zone of inhibition 9-10 mm). The Methanol extract also showed mild sensitivity to several gram positive, gram negative bacteria & Fungi (zone of inhibition 7-10 mm).and slightly to highly sensitive to fungi (zone of inhibition 8-40 mm). The pet ether extract Crystal (Found after adding Carbon tetrachloride) showed mild sensitivity to only a gram negative bacteria (Shigella boydii) having zone of inhibition 7 mm.

Abstract: Syzygium jambos (L.) Alstone belonging to the Myrtaceae family have been investigated for evaluation of their biological activities namely antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, aqueous soluble fractions of methanolic extract as well as crude methanolic extract of stem barks of Syzygium jambos were evaluated for their free radical scavenging activity. The methanolic extract and aqueous soluble fractions of stem barks of Syzygium jambos exhibited significant antioxidant activity with the IC50 value of 36.36 mg/ml and 44.744µg/ml respectively whereas chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and hexane soluble fraction of stem barks exhibited mild antioxidant activity with the IC50 value 191.018, 257.102, 414.79 mg/ml respectively. The crude extract, along with n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride and chloroform partitionates of the crude extract of Syzygium jambos were screened for their antimicrobial activity against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by the disc diffusion method. The results obtained were compared with that of a standard antibiotic, ciprofloxacin. All the fractions of Syzygium jambos exhibited mild activity against most of the test organism.
