    Journal of Biologically Active Products from Nature, 2021
    Aqueous and solvent extracts of Decalepis hamiltonii were selected among the sixteen plants based on their antagonistic activity against Aspergillus flavus. Among seven extracts of D. hamiltonii studied, butanol extract offered maximum percent of growth inhibition against A. flavus. Crude butanolic extract of D. hamiltonii recorded a minimum inhibitory concentration of 14 mg/ml. Similarly, seeds primed with different concentrations of butanol extract revealed that beyond 6 mg/ml the extracts were inhibitory to seed germination and seedling growth. But the concentration of 6 mg/ml also significantly suppressed the seed-borne incidence of A. flavus and improved seed quality variables in different cultivars of Groundnut. Phytochemical analysis of crude extract showed the presence of saponins and phenolics. The antifungal compound present in crude butanol extract was identified and characterized. The purified antifungal compound showed Rf value of 0.36 on TLC when acetate:toluene:chloroform:acetic acid (2:6:5:2 v/v) was as mobile phase. Further, characterization of pure compound following UV-visible spectra, IR-spectra, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and LC-MS analysis revealed the compound as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, which is a phenolic aldehyde.
  • Medicinal Potentials of Phytochemicals for the Management of Rabies
    D. Chandan, Shiva Prasad Kollur, Shashanka K. Prasad, Chandrashekar Srinivasa, Prabhurajeshwar, S. M. Gopinath, Chukwuebuka Egbuna, Chandan Shivamallu
    Neglected Tropical Diseases and Phytochemicals in Drug Discovery, 2021
    Among diseases of viral origin, rabies is considered a serious public health threat across the globe. It is estimated that around 55 000 peoples die of rabies every year, out of which the highest number of deaths are from Asia and African countries, making interests for the development of new drugs a non-priority for the developed nations, hence best classified as a neglected tropical disease. This chapter presents a short review of rabies, the epidemiology, morphology, and the potentials of medicinal plants against rabies virus.
  • Phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial activity of leaf and stem of ipomoea staphylina roem. & schult.
    Niranjan M H, Prabhurajeshwar
    International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020
    Ipomoea staphylina Roem. & Schult.A plant belonging to Convolvulaceae is commonly found on hedges and bushes in the forests and wastelands. It is a perennial, woody and glabrous shrub with pink flowers. Traditionally Ipomoea staphylina is used for respiratory disorders. Traditionally genus Ipomoea is used as purgative, dyspepsia, anthelmintic, bronchitis. Medicinal plants are the primary sources of medicines in Ayurvedha, Siddha, and Folk medicine systems. In India, about 95% of all modern drugs are derived from medicinal plants and very likely most of these medicines are used by people to cure many ailments. The Ayurvedic literature Sarangdhar Samhita" highlighted the concept of polyherbalism to achieve greater therapeutic efficacy. The active phytochemical constituents of individual plants are insufficient to meet the desirable therapeutic effects.When combining the multiple herbs in a particular ratio, it will give a better therapeutic effect and reduce the toxicity. Most of them are active even at a low dose and safe at a high dose. Thus they have superior risk to benefit ratio. Based on this the present study deals with physicochemical, phytochemical studies such as and biochemical estimation of medicinal plant of a combined mixture of polyherbal Ipomoea staphylina., also study evaluates the ethanol and methanol extracts of leaf and stem for their preliminary phytochemical analysis, antibacterial and antifungal activity. In the study of the phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of carbohydrate, protein, flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids. The Ipomoea staphylina of ethanolic leaf and stem extract showed potent antimicrobial activity in all the tested concentrations against E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger.Ipomoea staphylina could be exploited as a valuable source of antibacterial agent enriching with known antimicrobial compounds. Further studies needed for future drug development to treat various infectious diseases by microbes.
