Antifungal Activities and Phytochemical Screening of Xanthium strumariumDheeraj Vasu
ABSTRACT: Antifungal activities and phytochemical screening of Xanthium strumarium (Asteraceae) was carried out in laboratory. Distilled water and methanol extracts of the leaves of plant was prepared. Five phytopathogenic fungi: Alternaria brassicae, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytophthora capsici and Sclerotium rolfsii were tested at different concentrations (50 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, 150 mg/ml, 200 mg/ml, 250 mg/ml) of selected plant extracts. The phytochemical screening depicted the presence of terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids. The antifungal activity of extracts was determined by poisoned food technique; and linear mycelium growth reduction (LMGR) percentage was calculated. The distilled water extracts inhibited the growth of fungal mycelium while methanolic extracts completely inhibited (100%) the growth of some selected fungi at higher concentrations. Fusarium oxysporum was the most susceptible fungus while A. brassicae and B. cinerea were the most resistant fungi.

Phytochemical Screening, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Activity of Dioon spi...BRNSS Publication Hub
The present study was aimed to investigate the phytochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial studies of leaf and rachis of Dioon spinulosum Dyer ex Eichl. The phytochemical screening of the plant extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, carbohydrate, and phenols, whereas saponin was absent. The phenolic content expressed as mg/g gallic acid equivalent was determined and was more in methanolic extract of leaf (29.40 mg) than rachis (8.76 mg). Flavonoid contents were also greater in leaves than in rachis and methanol extract contained higher content (2.812 mg/g) than water (1.923 mg/g). Terpenoids were more in the aqueous extracts of both leaf and rachis when compared to methanol extracts. Antioxidant activity of both leaf and rachis extracts was conducted using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. Leaf extract showed more DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 value of 130 μg/ml when compared to the rachis of D. spinulosum Dyer ex Eichl. The reducing capability of the leaf extract was found to be more when compared to rachis. The antibacterial potential was evaluated with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus mutans by agar well diffusion method. Antibacterial activity was observed only at higher concentration (1000 μg/ml) with inhibition zones of 12 mm and 13 mm.
Extraction of Secondary Metabolites from Roots of Acanthus Ilicifolius L and ...inventionjournals
The root extracts of Acanthus ilicifolius L finds a prominent place in folk medicine. In this study, we
extracted alkaloid, flavonoid, tannin and total phenols in benzene, ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and
ethanol, their antibacterial activity and antioxidant activity was evaluated. The antioxidant activity is executed
by FRAP assay and agar well diffusion method is done to study the antibacterial activity against Enterobacter
aerogenes, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus
pyogenes. The antibacterial activity of all the extracts was compared with standard antibiotic gentamicin.
The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration [MIC] was determined by serial dilution method. Alkaloids are rich in
acetone and Flavonoids are high in methanol extracts. The acetone extract showed higher antioxidant activity,
while benzene extract was identified to contain lower antioxidant activity. The extent of inhibition by the root
extracts diverge between the solvents used, among them ethanol extracts exhibited higher level of inhibition
against the gram positive test cultures compared to gram negative test cultures employed. Whereas, the acetone
extracts efficacy is more on gram negative test cultures than the gram positive cultures. The MIC was found to
be between 1mg/100µl to 5mg/100µl. This study gives the source for purification and characterization of
bioactive principles that possess antioxidant and antibacterial action from the root of Acanthus ilicifolius.

The plants used in the present study were Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Withania somnifera (Ashwgandha), Santalum album (Chandan), Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), and shatavari (Asparagus racemosus). The extract from the leaves of these plants (are) used in malaria, bronchitis, gastric disorders, cough, cold etc. To test efficiency of some common plants extract against E. coli, Salmonella typhi, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus aureus. Contrary to the synthetic drugs, antimicrobials of plant origin are not associated with many side effects and have an enormous therapeutic potential to heal many infectious diseases. The present investigation is therefore, undertaken to test the efficiency of some of the common plant extracts against some plants and human pathogens, i.e. E. coli and S. aureus. In this project work, we studied the different parts of medicinal plants of Latur, Osmanabad region used for curing different type of diseases specially skin diseases. Some plants have active components which show antimicrobial activity. These Herbal plants are beneficial to human being in therapeutic practice. Skin diseases are difficult conditions to live with, to save the very least. Though some skin diseases may cause minimal discomfort, the visual effects of the conditions can cause significant self esteem and confidence issues. The majority of skin diseases cause scarring or disfigurement. Skin diseases run the gambit from barely noticeable to fatal.

Mormodica charantia Linn. A Potential Antibiotic and Anti-Fungal Druginventionjournals
Resistant or multi resistant strains are continuously appearing in the treatment of ailments and this necessitates the synthesis of new drugs especially from naturally occurring plants. Momordica charantia is a very common indigenous plant of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Phytochemical screening, antimicrobial analysis were conducted using recommended procedures. Ethanol and water were used for the extraction and Ultraviolet Visible and Infrared Spectroscope were used to identify the functional groups. Alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones were all present in both the ethanolic and aqueous extracts, terpenoids was only present in aqueous extract while cardiac glycosides was not present in both extracts. Concentration (200mg/ml) revealed the highest clear zone of inhibition in both aqueous and ethanol extracts. The zone of inhibition increases with increase in concentration of sample. The ethanol extract shows the higher clear zone of inhibition when compared to aqueous extract with a diameter of zones of inhibition of 28, 26, 24, 26, 26 and 24mm for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginesa, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively. The aqueous extract has no effect at concentration (6.25mg/ml) because no clear zone of inhibition was measured. The antimicrobial activity for aqueous extract was lower than and not as effective as ethanol extract because ethanol is a phenolic compound and non-polar solvent when compared with water that is a polar solvent. Infrared spectra showed OH stretch due to phenol was observed at 3702 cm-1 , - C - H stretch (alkane) at 2972cm-1 , C - H bending vibration (alkane) at 1381cm-1 , - C - N and – C = N at 2077cm-1 , NH stretching at 3375cm-1 . The results indicate that it contained a phenolic, amine and amide substitute. Therapeutic drugs with antibiotic and antifungal activities can be synthesized from Mormodica charantia.

Mormodica charantia Linn. A Potential Antibiotic and Anti-Fungal Druginventionjournals
Resistant or multi resistant strains are continuously appearing in the treatment of ailments and this necessitates the synthesis of new drugs especially from naturally occurring plants. Momordica charantia is a very common indigenous plant of tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Phytochemical screening, antimicrobial analysis were conducted using recommended procedures. Ethanol and water were used for the extraction and Ultraviolet Visible and Infrared Spectroscope were used to identify the functional groups. Alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, anthraquinones were all present in both the ethanolic and aqueous extracts, terpenoids was only present in aqueous extract while cardiac glycosides was not present in both extracts. Concentration (200mg/ml) revealed the highest clear zone of inhibition in both aqueous and ethanol extracts. The zone of inhibition increases with increase in concentration of sample. The ethanol extract shows the higher clear zone of inhibition when compared to aqueous extract with a diameter of zones of inhibition of 28, 26, 24, 26, 26 and 24mm for Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginesa, Salmonella typhi and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively. The aqueous extract has no effect at concentration (6.25mg/ml) because no clear zone of inhibition was measured. The antimicrobial activity for aqueous extract was lower than and not as effective as ethanol extract because ethanol is a phenolic compound and non-polar solvent when compared with water that is a polar solvent. Infrared spectra showed OH stretch due to phenol was observed at 3702 cm-1 , - C - H stretch (alkane) at 2972cm-1 , C - H bending vibration (alkane) at 1381cm-1 , - C - N and – C = N at 2077cm-1 , NH stretching at 3375cm-1 . The results indicate that it contained a phenolic, amine and amide substitute. Therapeutic drugs with antibiotic and antifungal activities can be synthesized from Mormodica charantia

The Comprehensive Review on Fat Soluble Vitaminsiosrphr_editor
This review article deals with brief description of fat soluble vitamins with figures and tables
showing statistical analytical data duly quoting the references wherever necessary. The word “soluble” actually
means “able to be dissolved.” Whether a vitamin is classified as 'fat-soluble' or 'water-soluble' has to do with
how the vitamin is absorbed, stored and removed from the body. Vitamins are tiny organic compounds with a
huge impact on the health and well-being of the body. The body needs a small amount of fat soluble vitamins in
order to stay in optimal health. Fat soluble vitamins play an important role in keeping the body healthy and
functioning from immune system and muscle and heart function, easy flow and clotting of blood as well as eye
health. They are critical to health and wellness–particularly reproductive health and wellness. Low-fat, no-fat
and vegan diets are woefully lacking in fat soluble vitamins. However a diet based on traditional foods can
naturally provide these vitamins. Science is still learning about many of the functions of vitamins. "Too much
vitamin A, D, or K can lead to increased levels that are unhealthy and can cause serious health consequences.
Diseased conditions leading to decreased fat absorption leads to decreased absorption of vitamins. The fatsoluble
vitamins work most safely and effectively when obtained them from natural foods within the context of a
diet rich in all their synergistic partners. If fat soluble vitamins are stored for lengthy time they generate threat
for toxicity than water soluble vitamins and such situation even aggravated, provided they are consumed in
excess. Vitamin products, above the legal limits are not considered food supplements and must be registered as
prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter drugs) due to their potential side effects. Vitamin A and E
supplements do not provide health benefits for healthy individuals, instead they may enhance mortality, and it is
held proved that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful to smokers

A case of allergy and food sensitivity: the nasunin, natural color of eggplantiosrphr_editor
Abstract: Allergies and food sensitivities can both be considered as "adverse reactions individualistic" to food.
Are pathological and individual forms because they affect a few individuals in way rather serious; immediate
or delayed reactions occur instead with simple effects histamine, or, in severe cases with respiratory and
anaphylactic shock
The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is known to cause food allergies in some Asian countries, but detailed
studies on allergies caused by eggplant are lacking, however, it was highlighted the presence of allergens in
edible parts of eggplant with preponderance in the peel .
The purpose of this study was to propose an extraction method rapid, efficient and cost of natural dye from
waste products from the food industry, such as the peels of eggplant, from which it was extracted, isolated and
purified the nasunin,a colored molecule in red-fuchsia.
Nasusin was tested on 58 patients to evaluate the potential sensitizing effect on the skin. The results demonstrate
that allergenic effects are negligible and therefore the nasunin can be used as a colorant in various industrial
sectors with a certain safety margin

Epidemiology of Tuberculosis (TB) in Albania 1998-2009iosrphr_editor
Abstract : In Albania, many people erroneously think that tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of the past-an illness
that no longer constitutes a public health threat. Surveillance is an integral part of tuberculosis (TB) control.
Albania has a highTB notification rate and there are doubts about underreporting. The evolution of the
incidence of tuberculosis is presented, together with more detailed figures over the period 1998-2009. These
figures were obtained by the monthly forms (called 14/Sh) compared with the individual notification data.
Objective: To examine the distribution and sources of increased tuberculosis (TB) morbidity and reporting
system deficiencies in the Albania from 1998 through 2009. Metodology: The study is descriptive one conductet
during the period 1998-2009. The statistical analysis is based on data reported from regional level (regional
epidemiological departments) to the central level (Public Health Institute). Results: The main findings were:
discordance between the collected data (individual form) and reported data (monthly form); tuberculosis
incidence rate shows little oscillations which ranges from 6.67 to 9.2 cases/100.000 population; 50% of the
regions show a lack of information on the confirmation of diagnosis and laboratory examination type used for
confirmation. Conclusion: TB disease in high-risk populations where it is difficult to detect, diagnose, and treat;
limitations of current control measures and the need for new tests and treatments, including an effective
vaccine; improving information system, regulation of individual form and personnel training.

Severity assessment was done using Hartwing and Siegel scale and causality assessment by Naranjo scale. Total 109 cases of ADRs, predominating in female were detected. Nepalese were the most affected and Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) being the most affected organ in them. Diclofenac showed maximum number of ADRs in all the communities. Maximum number of cases occurred on single day use (40.36%) of drugs. All the cases were belonging to the "possible category" and the maximum being the mild (72.48%) in nature. It is advisable to consider the ethnic/racial differences equally with other factors, to improve the safety and efficacy of a drug.
Hematological and biochemical alterations in malaria and their correlation wi...iosrphr_editor
Malaria is a major health problem in India with 1.04 million cases reported in 2012 leading to 504 deaths. The clinical spectrum depends on the infecting species, level of parasitemia and the immune status of the host. Malaria pathogenesis is based on extensive changes in hematological and biochemical parameters. The objective of this study was to study the clinical features, hematological and biochemical parameters in malaria patients and correlate them with the parasitic index (PI). Material and methods: We conducted a study on 300 malaria patients. The frequency of various symptoms and signs of malaria caused by various plasmodium species were determined. The degree of anemia, WBC count, platelet count serum bilirubin, liver enzymes and serum creatinine levels were studied and their variation depending on the parasitic index was documented. Results: 197 patients had vivax malaria, 76 patients had falciparum malaria and 27 patients had mixed infection. 171 patients had a PI of less than 2%, 100 patients had PI between 2 to 5%, 23 patients had PI between 5 to 10% and only 6 patients had PI of more than 10%. 72.3% of patients had thrombocytopenia, 46.66% had anaemia, 25% had increased bilirubin 29.66% showed increased liver enzymes and 7.66% had increased creatinine levels. Conclusion: There was a correlation between degree of parasitemia and severity of malaria in majority of cases. Derangements in hematological and biochemical parameters were more frequently seen in patients with higher PI.

As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.

From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

ABSTRACT
The leaves extract of Calotropis gigantea were screened for its anti microbial and phytochemical activities. The solvents used
for the leaves extraction were Ethanol, Methanol, Chloroform and n-Hexane. The extract was tested against infectious
diseases causing fungal pathogens such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigates, Candida tropicalis,
Candida albicans, and bacterial pathogens such as Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirablis, Escherichia coli and,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa using the Agar well diffusion method. The Ethanol extract of Calotropis gigantea showed more
activity against fungus like Candida albicans zone of diameter 15.06±0.11, Candida tropicalis zone of diameter 13.30±0.26
and bacteria like Proteus mirablis zone of diameter 12.16±0.15 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa zone of diameter 8.0±0.00
when compared to other solvent extracts. In the present study, both in bacteria and fungi Ethanol extract showed a varying
degree of inhibition of the growth of tested organism than Methanol, Chloroform, and n-Hexane. The results confirmed that
presence of Antifungal and Antibacterial activity in the shade dried extract of Calotropis gigantea against the human
pathogenic organisms.
Keywords: Calotropis gigantea crude extract, phytochemicals, Antimicrobial activity.
INTRODUCTION
Calotropis gigantea R.Br (Asclepiadaceae) is a xerophytic, erect shrub, growing widely throughout the tropical and
subtropical regions of Asia and Africa. This plant is popularly known because it produces large quantity of latex [1]. The
plant has potential pharmacological properties. Fractionation of the latex into its rubber and rubber-free fractions affords
better insight into its potentials and limitations. A large quantity of latex can be easily collected from its green parts. The
abundance of latex (containing alkaloids) in the green parts of the plant reinforces the idea that it produced and accumulated
latex as a defense strategy against organisms such as bacteria, fungi and insects [2]. Different plant parts have shown
biological activities viz., antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, analgesic, antidiarrhoeal, antioxidant and as an anti-
diabetic, antinociceptive, fibrinogenolytic, anti-coagulant. Latex has good ovicidal and larvicidal properties etc. The
prevalence of invasive, opportunistic microbial and fungal infections has increased at an alarming rate especially in immune-
compromised individuals. Although it appears to be a great array of antimicrobial and antifungal drugs, there is at present a
quest for new generations of antimicrobial and antifungal compounds due to the low efficacy, side effects or resistance
associated to the existing drugs [3]. This plant has potential antimicrobial properties against microbial infections [4, 5, 6].
Commercially available antimicrobial agents (antibiotics) are now used to treat diseases arising from microbial infections. A
major problem encountered with antibiotics in clinical use is drug resistance, which mostly leads to treatment failure. Other
problems with antibiotics include toxicity, high cost, low cost efficacy, etc. This necessitates a continuous search for new
antimicrobial agents. Medicinal plants have no doubt remained the major sources of traditional medicine worldwide. This
study attempts to determine the phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial effect of Calotropis gigantea. In this report, we
provide new information on the antimicrobial activities of C. gigantea using known microbial pathogens as tested organisms.
MATERIALS AND METHODS COLLECTION OF PLANT MATERIAL:
Calotropis gigantea leaf were collected from in Arcot region, Tamilnadu, India and used for this study. At the lab works are
done in Microlabs, Institute of Research and technology, Arcot, Tamilnadu.
EXTRACTION OF PLANT MATERIAL:
They were washed thoroughly with sterile distilled water in order to remove any dirt or filthy particles present on the surface
and were shade dried then made into fine powder, this powdered samples (100g/100ml) in ethanol, methanol, chloroform and
hexane for overnight at room temperature., soxhlet apparatus are used for this extraction. The extract from these solvents are
soaked and evaporated under pressure. The leaf extracts were concentrated at 50°C and the residue obtained was stored at
4°C.

PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EXTRACT:
Specific qualitative tests were performed to identify bioactive compounds of pharmacological importance through standard
methods. In brief, the phytochemicals such as tannins, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenols/polyphenols
were qualitatively determined as following:
TEST FOR ALKALOIDS (MAYER’S TEST):
2.0ml of extract was measured in a test tube to which picric acid solution was added. The formation of orange coloration
indicated the presence of alkaloids.
TEST FOR CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES (KELLER-KILLANI TEST):
5ml of plant extracts was treated with 2 ml of glacial acetic acid containing one drop of ferric chloride solution. A brown ring
of the interface indicates a deoxysugar characteristic of cardenolides. A violet ring may appear below the brown ring, while
in the acetic acid layer, a greenish ring may form just gradually throughout thin layer which shows the presence of Cardiac
glycosides.
TEST FOR TANNINS:
The substance (extracts) mixed with basic lead acetate solution. Formation of white precipitate indicates the presence of
Tannins.
TEST FOR SAPONINS:
Froth test for saponins was used. 1g of the sample was weighed into a conical flask in which 10ml of sterile distilled water
was added and boiled for 5 min. The mixture was filtered and 2.5ml of the filtrate was added to 10ml of sterile distilled water
in a test tube. The test tube was stopped and shaken vigorously for about 30 second. It was then allowed to stand for half an
hour. Honeycomb froth indicated the presence of saponins.
TEST FOR FLAVONOIDS:
5 ml of dilute ammonia solution were added to a portion of the aqueous filtrate of plant extract followed by addition of
concentrated H2SO4. Formation of yellow color observed in each extract indicated the presence of flavonoids.
TEST FOR STEROIDS:
One gram of the test substance (plant extracts) was dissolved in a few drops of acetic acid. It was gently warmed and cooled
under the tap water and a drop of concentrated sulphuric acid was added along the sides of the test tube. Appearance of green
colour indicates the presence of Steroids.
TEST FOR TERPENOIDS (SALKOWSKI TEST):
5ml of each plant part extract was mixed in 2 ml of chloroform, and concentrated H2SO4 (3ml) was carefully added to form a
layer. Formation of reddish brown coloration at the interface shows the positive results for presence of terpenoids.
TEST FOR REDUCING SUGARS:
One gram of the aqueous extract was weighed and placed into a test tube. This was diluted using 10 ml of de-ionised distilled
water. This was followed by the addition of Fehling’s solution. The mixture warmed to 40ºC in water bath. Development of
brick-red precipitate at the bottom of the test tube was indicative of the presence of a reducing sugar. Same procedure was
repeated using dimethylsulphoroxide (DMSO) as the diluent for the ethanolic extract.
TEST FOR RESINS:
Two grams of the ethanolic extract was dissolved in 10ml of acetic anhydride. A drop of concentrated sulphuric acid was
added. Appearance of purple colour, which rapidly changed to violet, was indicative of the presence of resins. Same
procedure was repeated using the aqueous extract of the plant material.
TEST ORGANISMS:
The bacterial species used for the test were Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirablis, Escherichia coli and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The fungus species used for the test were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus
fumigates, Candida tropicalis, and Candida albicans. All the stock cultures were obtained from Microlabs, Institute of
Research and technology, Vellore Tamilnadu, India.

CULTURE MEDIA AND INOCULUM PREPARATION:
Nutrient agar broth (Himedia, India) was used as the media for the culturing of bacterial strains. Loops full of all the bacterial
cultures were inoculated in the nutrient broth and incubated at 37˚c for 72 hrs and potato dextrose agar and potato dextrose
broth (Himedia, India) were used as the media for the culturing strains. Loops full of all the fungus were inoculated in the
Potato dextrose broth (PDA) and incubated at room temperature for 72hrs.
ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY:
The leaf extracts obtained above were screened for their antibacterial activity in comparison with standard antibiotic
ciprofloxacin (100mg/ml) in vitro by well diffusion method. Lawn culture was used using the test organism on Muller Hinton
Agar (MHA). The inoculated plates were kept aside for few minutes using well cutter, four wells were made in those plates at
required distance. In each step of well cutting the well cutter was thoroughly wiped with alcohol. A fixed volume (0.1ml) of
the Calotropis gigantea extract was then introduced into the wells in the increasing concentration. The plates with bacteria
were incubated at 37˚c for 24 hours. The activity of the extract was determined by measuring the diameters of zone of
inhibition.
ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY:
The leaf extracts were also screened for their antifungal activity in comparison with standard antibiotic Ketoconazole
(10mg/ml) in vitro by well diffusion method (7,8). Lawn culture was prepared using the test organism on Sabouraud’s
Dextrose Agar (SDA). The inoculated plates were kept aside for few minutes using well cutter, four wells were made in those
plates at required distance. A fixed volume (0.1ml) of the Calotropis gigantea extract was then introduced into the wells in
the increasing concentration. The plates with fungi were incubated at room temperature for 48 hours. The activity of the
extract was determined by measuring the diameters of zone of inhibition.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUND IN DIFFERENT SOLVENT EXTRACTS OF
CALOTROPIS GIGANTEA
The plant leaf extracts in different solvents were screened for the presence of various bioactive phytochemical compounds.
The analysis revealed the presence of cardiac glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, and terpenoids in most prominent
amount while alkaloids and tannins is less amount. Resins absent in organic solvents. These were documented in Table 1.

Figure 2: Antifungal activity of different solvent leaf extracts of Calotropis gigantea against different organisms
Antimicrobial activity of different solvent extracts of C. gigantea showed varying degrees of antibacterial and antifungal
activity against all microorganisms tested [9, 10]. There are many reports of plants in the family Asclepiadaceae possessing
anti-microbial activity [11, 12]. From this study it can be said that, Ethanol and methanol shade dried leaf extract of
Calotropis gigantea showed wide range of Antibacterial and Antifungal activity can be used and administered in the ethno
medical practice [13, 14]. The present study has shown a spectrum of antimicrobial activities which provides a support to
some tradition uses of these few medicinal plants [15, 16]. But the effective biomolecules which act as antimicrobial have to
be identified isolated and subjected to extensive scientific and pharmacological screening that can be used as sources for new
drugs.
CONCLUSION
The phytochemical analysis revealed the bioactive compounds which are responsible for the Invitro antimicrobial of C.
gigantea over all fungi and bacteria strains in all extracts could be alkaloids, cardiac glycoside, tannins, saponins, flavonoids,
steroids, terpenoids, reducing sugar and resins.
The result of this work suggests that the whole plant extract of C. gigantea has number of medicinal properties. From this
work it can be said that the shade dried Calotropis gigantea leaf extract of Ethanol and Methanol has more effective against
these pathogenic organisms and can be used for the future references for various other diseases.
