In traditional medicine, there are numerous medicinal plants that have the potential to treat many diseases and disorders, one of them is Coccinia indica (family: Cucurbitaceae) popularly known as Kanduri in Hindi. This plant is traditionally used in blood diseases, aphrodisiac and cooling agents. The present review attempts to encompass the available literature on Coccinia indica with respect to its morphological characters, phytochemistry, summary of its various pharmacological activities and traditional uses.Keywords

Trichosanthes dioica Roxb is a well-known plant in the traditional medicine. Based on its traditional use, methanolic extract of the plant was selected for assessment of healing potential in the form of simple ointment using full thickness burn wound model in rats. The effect produced by the extract ointment showed significant healing when compared with the control and standard groups. All parameters such as wound contraction, epithelialization period, hydroxyproline content, and histopathological studies were observed significant (P<0.01) in comparison to control group.Keywords

The wound healing property of polyherbal formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa was evaluated in excision and burn wound model. The formulation responded significantly in both the wound models tested. The results were comparable in terms of wound contracting ability and epithelialization time. Thus, this exploration confirms the use of formulation containing the extract of Psidium guajava and Ficus religiosa as a wound healing agent.Keywords

Medicinal plants play a significant role in the field of treatment and cure of diseases. Over the years, scientific research has extended our information of the chemical effects and composition of the active constituents, which conclude the medicinal properties of plants. Several drugs obtained from plant sources are known to amplify the healing of different type of wounds. Though some of these drugs have been screened scientifically for evaluation of their wound healing activity in different pharmacological models. These review summaries the scientific evidenced of those medicinal plants which were assessed by various researchers for the exploration of these plants as wound healers.Keywords

The present communication deals with the laboratory studies carried out to ascertain the anthelmintic activity of methanolic extract of Trichosanthes dioica Roxb (fruits). Various concentrations (50 and 100 mg/ml) of extract were tested in the assay, which involved the determination of paralysis time and death time of the organisms. The methanol extract exhibited significant anthelmintic activity comparable to standard drug. The efficacy of methanolic extract of Trichosanthes dioica may be attributed to the phytochemicals present in the solvent extract. Further studies on isolation of active constituents are to be required.Keywords

The concept of beauty and cosmetics is as ancient as mankind and civilization. Cosmetology, the science of alteration of appearance, has been practiced since primordial times. It is believed to have originated in Egypt and India, but the earliest records of cosmetic substances and their application dates back to circa 2500 and 1550 B.C. to the Indus valley civilization.
The growing scientific evidence, that plants posses a vast and complex arsenal of active ingredients (phytochemicals) able, not only to calm or smooth the skin but actively restore, heal and protect the skin, has increased their use in cosmetics. As many herbal agents used in cosmetics have been selected by a process of 'trial and error", there use is based on experience rather than experimental investigation. They may be utilized for cosmetic in three forms as total extracts or single molecules purified from extracts (e.g. aloe vera gel,teas,plant extracts) selective extract (e.g.liquorice,ginkgo,wheat germ)or single natural molecules (e.g.vitamins,coenzyme Q10).The following summary shows only plants that have been shown to be effective in scientific studies.

The present study is aimed to evaluate the leaf extract of Manilkara zapota for acclaimed anti-arthritic activity using in-vitro inhibition of protein denaturation model. Acetyl salicylic acid was used as a standard drug. Results revealed that the ethanolic extract of Manilkara zapota at two different concentrations (100mcg/ml and 250mcg/ml) possessed significant anti-arthritic activity as compared to standard used drug acetyl salicylic acid. The plant extract showed dose dependent activity.Keywords

Many herbal remedies have been employed in various medical systems for the treatment and management of different diseases. During past several years, there has been growing interest among the usage of various medicinal plants from traditional system of medicine for the treatment of different ailments. Traditional system of medicinal consists of large number of plants with various medicinal and pharmacological importances and hence represents a priceless tank of new bioactive molecules. Genus Praecitrullus fistulosus is very similar to Citrullus in its morphological characters, but differs in the stratification of pollen grains, haploid chromosome number and to some extent in leaf morphology. This review attempts to encompass the available literature on Praecitrullus fistulosus with respect to its pharmacognostic characters, chemical constituents, summary of its various pharmacological activities and traditional uses.Keywords

The Present Study was planned to assess the acute toxicity of Coccinia indica ischolar_mains. Rats were orally administrated single dose of 100, 500 and 1000mg/kg of aqueous extract of Coccinia indica. Mortality, signs of toxicity, body weight, food consumption and gross findings were observed for 07 days post treatment of Coccinia indica extract. In addition, no significant differences were noticed in the body and organ weights between the control and treated groups. These results state that aqueous extract of Coccinia indica is toxicologically safe by oral administration.Keywords

In-vitro antioxidant activity of petroleum ether extract of Trichosanthes dioica was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay, Reducing power assay, Nitric oxide scavenging activity, Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity using ascorbic acid as a standard. The IC50 values were calculated for all the models in order to evaluate the antioxidant efficiency of Trichosanthes dioica extract. In all the testing a significant correlation existed between concentration of the extract and % inhibition of free radicals. Obtained results clearly indicated that petroleum ether extract of Trichosanthes dioica possesses significant antioxidant potential as compared with standard.
