In the current study, Cardiospermum halicacabum leaf and callus methanol extracts were investigated for their ability to neutralize Indian cobra (Najanaja) venom. Soxhlet extraction using methanol was performed since leaf and callus extracts demonstrated significant neutralization of N. najavemon in preliminary studies. In vitro neutralizing potential of both extracts were evaluated against phospholipase A2, preoteases and hyaluronidases. In addition, alleviation of N. naja-induced characteristic edema inducing activity, myotoxicity and coagulation, hemolytic activity were performed in mouse models and human blood samples. Leaf and callus methanol extract contained high concentrations of phenols, alkaloids, steroids and saponins and demonstrated significant in vitro inhibition of N. naja PLA2, proteases and hyaluronidase activities at 30-40 µg concentrations. Significant neutralization of N. naja-induced indirect hemolysis, edema, anticoagulant effect and myotoxicity was attained using both extracts. Overall leaf and callus extracts (1mg/kg) postponed animal survival by 33 ± 9.3 and 50 ± 12.4 mins, respectively. C. halicacabum leaf and callus methanol extracts demonstrated significant neutralization of N. naja enzymes that contribute to grievous effects on various tissues/organs. The study scientifically supports the anecdotal use of C. halicacabum in complementary medicine and demonstrates that callus extract is more potent antidote than leaf. Further, callus extract is a potent candidate for isolation of phytochemicals towards management of snakebite.","PeriodicalId":14019,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"11 12","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91440730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to that, the effect of camel whey and plant extracts on GSTs was studied by spectrophotometric method using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitro-benzene (CDNB) as substrate. The obtained results showed that ethanol extract was the most effective when compared to the aqueous extract and whey proteins. Synergistic antibacterial activity was observed for whey and ethanol extract against E. coli with MBC value equal to 0.39 mg/ml. In contrast, whey combination to aqueous extract showed antagonistic bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect against both bacteria. Moreover, results revealed that all samples with 1 mg/ml concentration increased the activity of GSTs in vitro . The recorded GSTs activity was higher after combination of whey to both extracts. The best results obtained after combining the ethanol extract to whey proteins.

The objectives of the present study are to investigate antioxidant activity and cholesterol regulatory effect of Caralluma flava N.E.Br methanolic extract (CFM) through chemical and molecular approaches. CFM afforded the yield of 18 % (w/w) through methanolic extraction and contained considerable amount of phenolic and flavonoid compounds (9.22 ± 1.4 mg/g) and 3.35 ± 0.16 mg/g respectively). Antioxidant activity assays revealed that CFM are effective antioxidant with 76.8% DPPH scavenging activity bleaching inhibitory activity. Result from s-carotene–linoleic acid assay shows that CFM efficiently retarded the oxidation of linoleic acid in the reaction system compared to control. CFM regulate the expression of cholesterol metabolism genes in HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mRNA level was significantly up-regulated by 1.3, 2.4 and 3.2 fold compared to control cells. The mRNA level of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (HMGCOA) was significantly suppressed by 12, 30 and 50% in a dose dependent manner compared to the control cells treated with 20, 50 and 100 µg/ml of CFM respectively. Apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1) gene was up-regulated by 1.7 and 2.2 fold and apolipoprotein B100 (Apo B100) gene was suppressed by 11% and 24% in HepG2 cells treated with 50 and 100 µg/ml of CFM respectively, compared to control cells. In conclusion, CFM is a potential cardioprotector through enhancement of cholesterol regulation and exertion of antioxidant activity.","PeriodicalId":14019,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"1 1","pages":"57-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89167134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To win this pandemic, pharmaceutical companies and scientists are in a tight race to get modern vaccines or drugs. Following such efforts, dexamethasone (one of the known corticosteroids) has shown hopeful potency against the pandemic corona virus disease (COVID-19) as per the WHO updated report. However, till the development of this review study, no single anti-COVID-19 drug/or vaccine has fully been announced yet. Hence, for a time being, the world has been forced to turn its face towards alternative phyto-medicines. Accordingly, scholars by now have recommended plant lead traditional medicines as first aid kits to minimize the impact of corona virus pandemic. In this review paper, an attempt is made to introduce some selected possible antiviral medicinal plants found in the Eastern Hararghe region of Ethiopia. We focused on those plant species which have routinely been used by the local community to treat infectious diseases such as flu, cold, cough, sore throat, headache, pneumonia, lung abscess, fever, malaria, asthma and related viral infections. A total of 33 plant species from different families (Fabaceae is the dominant one, 18.18%) were reviewed. Since the above mentioned infections are symptomatically similar to that of COVID-19, the plant species reviewed in the present paper may have a potential to treat and control the surging corona virus pandemic. This review may therefore provide useful information about the antiviral therapeutic uses of most preferred medicinal plants of Eastern Hararghe, Ethiopia. The present review may serve as an input to the research and development of antiviral agents in the future.","PeriodicalId":14019,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"48 1","pages":"76-115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78765096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
