Title: Application of Non-Aqueous Titration Method for Estimation of Arginine in Phytonutraceutical Tablet Formulation
Authors: R. Rane*, R. Shelar, D. Hattangadi, S. Kundalwal, C. Chotalia and A. Suthar
Abstract: L-Arginine is a semi essential amino acid. Even if it is normally synthesized in the body, supplementations are required in certain conditions. It is required for various functions in the body. Hence it is essential to evaluate its concentration in the formulation by suitable method.
Two types of Tablet formulations viz. Female Aphrodisiac (FSF)-1 and Male Aphrodisiac (MSF)-1 were prepared, using 600mg L-Arginine hydrochloride each and other ingredients. Both the formulations were subjected to quality evaluation. Presence of all ingredients was confirmed by HPTLC, however, quantification of Arginine, was carried out by applying simple and easiest “Non aqueous titration method”. Quantification of L-Arginine hydrochloride and L-Arginine was carried out in API i.e. in authenticated raw materials, in granules as well as in corresponding tablet formulations viz. FSF-1 and MSF-1.
L-Arginine hydrochloride was found to be more than 99% in both raw materials (API). In granules of FSF-1 and MSF-1 analytical findings were 59.747% and 56.378% respectively. In corresponding tablet formulations, observed values were more than 100% of theoretical expected value.
Non aqueous titration method was found to be suitable for quantification of L-Arginine hydrochloride and can be used for controlling the quality of the tablet formulation.

Title: Effect of Cadmium Chloride on Histoarchiteceture of Kidney of Fresh Water Fish Heteropneustes Fossilis and Recovery of Damaged Tissue by Herbal Compound Ashwagandha
Authors: B. Nagar, R. S. Sisodia and L. Bhattacharya
Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of cadmium chloride on histoarchiteceture of kidney of fresh water fish Heteropneustes fossilis. The fish were exposed to o.5 ppm of cadmium chloride for 21 days. The most remarkable changes in kidney due to cadmium chloride were loosening of haemopoietic tissue; uriniferous tubules have lost their original appearance, narrowing of renal tubules and damaged glomeruli. Their size was significant at (P

Title: In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Aqueous and Alcoholic Extracts of Polyherbal Rejuvenator Formulation Assessed in Free Radical Scavenging Assays
Authors: M. Gupta, N. Karmakar, S. Sasmal, S. Chowdhury and S. Biswas
Abstract: The present study evaluates the in vitro antioxidant free radical scavenging capacities of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of a herbal rejuvenator drug prepared by adding equal amounts of dried roots of Sida cordifolia and Glycyrrhiza glabra because these two medicinal plants have been used since ancient times in the Ayurvedic system of medicine and elaborated in its ancient texts such as Charak Samhita (Chikitsa Sthanam). Phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates and saponins. The total phenolic content of the alcoholic extract and the aqueous extract was found as 26.50 and 28.60 Gallic acid equivalents/mg while the total flavonoid content was assessed as 85.91 and 80.31 Quercetin equivalents/mg respectively. IC50 (µg/ml) of alcoholic, aqueous extract and Ascorbic acid was found to be 57.027±5.200, 44.507±1.252 and 17.48±1.356 in Hydrogen Peroxide Radical Scavenging, 0.823±0.033, 0.745±0.075 and 0.722±0.090 in DPPH radical scavenging and 232±15.163, 179±53.894 and 6.627±0.061 during FRAP essay. Similarly, during ABTS radical scavenging, IC50 (µg/ml) was assessed as 332.960±2.177, 162.155±9.736 and 6.779±0.167 for alcoholic, aqueous extract and Trolox respectively. While both the extracts showed substantial and significant free radical scavenging activity during the study which is compared to that of the standard drug, the aqueous extract of the herbal rejuvenator research drug exhibits higher in vitro antioxidant activity than the alcoholic extract possibly due to higher concentrations of phenolic compound in it, validating and confirming therapeutic properties ascribed to it in Ayurvedic texts.

Title: Antidiabetic Herbs and their Marketed Formulations
Authors: Priya Patiyal, Nisha Thakur and Sumit Summy
Abstract: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the fast growing metabolic disorders affecting people globally. The present paper reviews on natural herbal plants (with their botanical name, common name, constituent, mechanism of action and their pharmacological test results) and marketed polyherbal formulations. The effects of these plants may delay the development of diabetic complications and correct the metabolic abnormalities. In recent years; considerable attention has been directed towards identification of plants with antidiabetic ability that may be used for human consumption.

Title: Antiproliferative Activity of Methanolic Root Extract of Withania somnifera against MCF-7, HCT-15, U373-MG and OVKAR-3 Cell Lines
Authors: R. A. Shah, S. Khan and M. Vakil
Abstract: An anticancer activity of methanolic root extract of Withania somnifera collected from four different regions of India were screened in vitro by SRB method on four Human cell lines viz.U373-MG, MCF- 7, HCF-15, OVKAR-3. Plants growing under different agroclimatic condition often show qualitative and quantitative variations in their phytoconstituents. The methanolic roots crude extract were compared with two known steroidal lactones i.e. Withaferin-A and Withanolide-A which are known to be therapeutically active. For the screening of anticancer activity, LC50, TGI, GI50 were considered. The results obtained reveal that standard Withaferin-A had high potency towards the entire studied cell lines tested whereas Withanolide -A, did not show anticancer activity against any cell line. Among the studied samples viz. WsK, WsN, WsM and WsL, only WsK showed potency towards breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) at a concentration of 16.8 µg/ml.

Title: Synthesis and Characterization of New Azo Compounds from Substituted 2-Aminothiazole Ring.
Authors: Entesar. O. Al-Tamimi and Hussein. F. Abdul Mahdi
Abstract: The presented work involved the preparation of new Azo compounds containing aromatic heterocyclic (thiazol ring) derived from substituted amino benzoic acid. The preparation procedure involves a series of steps the first step includes the reaction of synthesized 2-aminothiazol compounds with nitrous acid at (0)C to form the corresponding diazonium salts. The second step involved coupling the newly synthesized diazonium salts with different amines and phenols. All the prepared compounds in this work were characterized by melting point and softening points with other physical properties, FTIR, H1-NMR spectra, Screening of the antimicrobial activity of the prepared azo compounds was tested against two types of bacteria; Gram positive (Stapylococcus aureus) and Gram negative (Escherichia coli).

Title: Morpho-Anatomical Study of the Underground and Dyeing Organs in Galium latoramosum Clos. (Rubiaceae)
Authors: L. M. G. Rojas, A. L. Pascualides, R. A. Hernandez and M. J. Joseau
Abstract: Galium latoramosum has medicinal and dyeing properties. In Argentina, native peoples used its roots to obtain dyes in the red range. While there are references to anatomical studies of the genus Galium, information describing the anatomical structure and location of the pigments in G. latoramosum was not found. Descriptions of the various underground organs, reserve substances and location of natural pigments in the genus Galium are imprecise and inconsistent. The chances of the species asexual reproduction are also unknown. The aim of this study was to describe the external morphology and the anatomy of underground dyeing organs of G. latoramosum in order to provide basic knowledge for domestication. Agamic structures were collected from mother plants of three populations and their behavior was registered in the nursery. Then, samples of underground organs of mother-plants were collected and freehand cuts were performed. The cut material was examined using an optical microscope and usually no staining techniques were used in order to know where the pigments were located. It is concluded that the subterranean stems of G. latoramosum are rhizomes and stolons, which emit adventitious roots from nodes. The pigments are located in the cortex, phloem and pith of adults and young rhizomes and in the cortex and phloem of adventitious roots of G. latoramosum.
