Different extracts of Punica granatum flowers (Variety: Gulnar) were tested for antibacterial and anti-diarrhoeal activities. All the extracts showed good antibacterial activity which was comparable to that of cold water extract of Punica granatum fruit rind. Cold extracts showed better anti-diarrhoeal activity than soxhlet extracts in castor oil induced diarrhoea in rats as a model. Their anti-diarrhoeal activity was comparable to that of loperamide hydrochloride.Keywords
Punica Granatum, Antibacterial Activity, Anti-Diarrhoeal Activity.

Objective: To investigate and rationalize the effects of Ocimum kilimandscharicumleaves(Lamiaceae) for their wound healing activity and probable mechanism underlying its protective effects in albino wistar rats.
Methods: The wound healing activity was evaluated using three different types of wound models viz; the excision, incision and dead space wound model. A supportive study was also made on granuloma tissue to estimate the level of hydroxy proline. The healing tissues obtained on the 11th post wounding day of the incision wound model were processed for histological study.
Results: The animals receiving the alcoholic extract of Ocimum kilimandscharicumleaves has shown to possess significant increase in wound closure rate, skin breaking strength, granuloma breaking strength, hydroxy proline content, granuloma dry weight and decrease in mean scar area.
Conclusion: The prohealing potential of the Ocimum kilimandscharicum leaves extract may probably be as a result of the presence of a mixture of phytoconstituents including flavonoids, steroids, etc. and increased collagen deposition as well as better alignment and maturation.

Ethnobotanical search has revealed the use of water extracts of bark of Acacia catechu and Rotula aquatica in the treatment of cancer. The aqueous extracts of both above mentioned plants were evaluated for antimitotic activity using the meristamatic cells of Allium cepa ischolar_mains. The results showed inhibition of prophase stages in cell division. The A.catechu and R. aquatica treated ischolar_mains of A.cepa were treated with tritiated thymidine. DNA was extracted from these ischolar_main tips. The total DNA was then counted in a scintillation counter. The results were compared with a positive control Methotrexate, a known anticancer drug. Roots treated with Plain water were used as negative control. The total DNA count from the treated ischolar_mains and that from Methotrexate treated ischolar_mains was less than that of Plain water. The extracted DNA was subjected to gel electrophoresis. DNA from ischolar_mains treated with extracts and from Methotrexate treated ischolar_mains showed fragmentation where as that from the Plain water was intact.Keywords

It was noticed that, no safe and reversible chemical agent is known that can adequately control fertility without producing toxic effect. Herbal drugs, the natural alternatives for chemical drugs are defined as the art and science of restoring a sufferer to health by the use of plant remedies. Herbs have long held an important place in the treatment of ailments and herbal medicines are still popular. Herbal medicines are being used by about 80% of the world population primarily in the developing countries for primary health care. They have stood the test of time for their safety, efficacy, cultural acceptability and lesser side effects.In view of above discussion, it is planned to evaluate the extracts of two indigenous plants for spermicidal activity and to develop formulation as vaginal contraceptives.
In the present study the ethanolic extracts of Curcuma longa rhizomes (30μg/ml) and Azadirachta indica leaves (1mg/ml) were alone treated with human semen sample (containing 1million sperm/ml). Both the extract showed dose dependent spermicidal action. The ethanolic extracts of Curcuma longa and Azadirachta indica were alone formulated in two different vaginal gel using Carbapol (1%) and at dose of 10μl evaluated for contact spermicidal activity. Both the vaginal gel was further evaluated for viscosity, spreadability, and mucoadhesive test and stability studies.
The formulation showed significant reduction in sperm motility. Stability studies indicate that formulation is stable at temperature 25°C and 35°C.
It was therefore concluded that the vaginal gel containing Curcuma longa and vaginal gel containing Azadirachta indica extracts may have a wide potential to be used as a vaginal contraceptive agent.

The nutraceutical industry has seen a great boom in the recent years as a result of the consumers seeking the convenient "healthful" solution in their diet. Amongst the various candidates of the nutraceutical world the everyday soybean has become a great nutraceutical today. In view of the importance gained by soybeans (Glycine max Family: Leguminosae) studies were carried out on the seeds of soybean. To evaluate its nutraceutical claims, antioxidant and anti-hyperlipidemic evaluations were carried out on the extracts obtained from the seeds of Glycine max. With an increase in the health reports relating free radicals and high lipid levels to an array of disease conditions, there has been a search for a safer solution from the nutraceutical world as a support to the conventional therapy. In the current study, the free radical scavenging activity was carried out using the DPPH method whereas the diet induced hyperlipidemia model in hamsters was used to evaluate the antihyperlipidemic activity. Both the studies yield results that support the current position of soybeans in the nutraceutical world.Keywords
