Appraisal of In-Vitro Antimicrobial, Thrombolytic and Membrane Stabilizing Potentials of Chloroform Extract of Avicennia Marina Leaves and Barks: An Approach to Develop Novel Drug

 
 

Authored by Shalahuddin M
The present study was aimed to assess ethno medicinal value of the plant. We tried to oversee in-vitro antimicrobial, thrombolytic and membrane stabilizing potentials of chloroform extracts of Avicennia marina leaves and barks. A. marina is an ethno medicinal plant belongs to the family of Acanthaceae. Crude chloroform extracts of A. marina (leaves & barks) dose dependently used for in vitro antimicrobial, thrombolytic and membrane stability screening. Chloroform extracts of A. marina at higher concentration evolved moderate antimicrobial activities against Gram negative (-ve) bacteria and were resistant against Gram positive (+ve) bacteria during assessment through disc diffusion method. During analysis of thrombolytic activity, 10mg/ml concentration of the extracts most significantly showed 16.33±0.49% lysis of clot (p<0.001), where streptokinase was used as standard & distilled water was treated as negative control. Again, Acetyl salicylic acid was used as standard in membrane stabilizing study whereas chloroform extracts of A.marina leaves and barks dose dependently showed inhibition of hemolysisat 10mg/ml, which was found 18.84±0.99% and 26.24±1.04% respectively for both hypotonic solution and heat induced condition of hemolysis of erythrocyte membrane.

Erythrocyte as a Therapeutic Target-Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DRUG DESIGNING & DEVELOPMENT Abstract Erythrocytes are powerful components of blood flow designed to scavenger or deliver nitic oxide (NO) and oxygen to all cells in the body and transport carbon dioxide from them to the lungs. Blood components started to be quantified and erythrocyte blood shapes used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in clinical practice. Erythrocytes have hemorheological, hemostatic and pro or anti-inflammatory properties enlarging their physiological implications in health and disease. As blood component the erythrocytes establish interaction with others white blood cells, platelets, plasma lipoproteins and vascular endothelial cells. The aim of this mini review is highlight the signaling pathway of nitric oxide in which some steps explain the efficacy of some therapeutic drugs already used and could point new targets for further application in inflammatory vascular diseases Keywords: Eryth...

Avasimibe and Sirt 1 Activators Reverse NAFLD and Obesity-Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DRUG DESIGNING & DEVELOPMENT Opinion In epidemiological studies human obesity is clearly associated with the increased risk for atherosclerosis contributing to the early onset of coronary artery disease and diabetes. Visceral obesity in particular increases the risk of atherosclerosis owing to both insulin resistance and dyslipoproteinemia. Risk factors for atherosclerosis that could be exacerbated by obesity include hypertension and hyper lipidemia particularly hyper triglyceridemia which are risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. The susceptibility of humans to obesity is far higher compared with other species and in man favours the deposition of fat [1]. Amongst mammals humans have been reported to have the highest level of fatness than any other species and genes and environmental factors predispose humans to obesity [2]. Novel research provides information for anti-aging genes with connections between appeti...

Modelling of Drug Release from a Polymer Matrix System-Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DRUG DESIGNING & DEVELOPMENT Abstract A drug release model is proposed to predict the behaviour of an oral drug tablet as it traverses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The model predicts the rate of change of tablet dimensions. The effect of polymer degradation rate on the tablet dissolution time and drug release kinetics is analyzed. The total tablet dissolution time decreases with increase in the polymer degradation rate constant ( k d ). A simpler second model (power law) is also offered to describe the relationship between tablet dissolution time and k d . The model predicts initial burst release of the drug followed by nearly constant release. The time of burst release and the amount of drug undergoing burst release decreases with increases in the k d .
