In the present study crude methanol extract of M. champaca leaf was investigated for possible antioxidant, analgesic and cytotoxic activity. The extract showed remarkable antioxidant activity in DPPH radical scavenging activity, nitric oxide scavenging activity and total antioxidant capacity assays. In both DPPH radical and NO scavenging assay, the extract exhibited strong antioxidant activity and the IC 50 values in DPPH radical scavenging and NO scavenging assays were found to be 30.07 μg/ml and 15.42 μg/ml, respectively while the IC 50 values of ascorbic acid were 12.5 μg/ml and 4.07 μg/ml, respectively. Total antioxidant activity of the extract increased in a dose dependent manner. Analgesic activity of the crude extract was evaluated using acetic acid-induced writhing model of pain in mice. The crude extract at 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg b.w doses displayed significant (p < 0.001) reduction in acetic acid induced writhing in mice with a maximum effect of 68.7% reduction at 400 mg/kg b.w. which is comparable to the standard, diclofenac sodium (78.2%). The extract was also investigated for cytotoxic potential using Brine Shrimp lethality bioassay. In this bioassay the extract showed significant toxicity to Brine Shrimp nauplii with the LC50 value of 11.22 μg/ml. Results of the present study suggest that M. champaca leaf extract possesses strong antioxidant, analgesic and cytotoxic activity.

Preliminary phytochemical screening of the stem bark extracts showed that it possessed the active principles - alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, terpenoids and tannins. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was assayed against pathogenic strains of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus , Escherichia coli , Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Staphylococcus aureus , S. pyrogenes , and Candida albcans using the agar diffusion method. The plant extract exhibited antimicrobial activity against all the test microorganisms. B. cereus and B. pumilus were the most susceptible to the plant extract while Candida albicans was the most resistant. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the stem bark extract of the plant ranged between 30 and 50 mg/ml while the minimum bactericidal concentration ranged between 35 and 60 mg/ml. A. jacquemontii could be a potential source of antimicrobial agents. Key words: Antibacterial; Antifungal; Baonli; Medicinal plants.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC 15 cps) and poly ethylene glycol (PEG-600) polymers respectively were used in formulating tablets prepared by direct compression and wet granulation methods. The polymers were used to explore the release pattern of the drug into the dissolution media. The tablets were also prepared in various shapes (caplet oval, round oval and flat oval). A comparatively higher release rate of drug was obtained from the polymer HPMC 15 cps at 10% concentration for directly compressed matrix tablet than those containing 20% of HPMC after a definite period of time. In wet granulation process, 10% PEG-600 containing tablets showed a better release than those containing 20% PEG. The drug release was also found to be sustained in case of wet granulation method than that of the direct compression method. Again the caplet shaped tablets in case of direct compression method showed better release rate of drug than those of the round oval and flat oval shaped tablets. Thus the result of this study shows that the proper selection of the percentage of polymer and the suitable shape of tablet and proper manufacturing method can provide a greater opportunity in designing sustained release dosage forms.

Antibiotic resistance in UTI is a growing public health problem in the world including Bangladesh. The study objective was to examine the present incidence of UTIs in Bangladesh in a point period of time from January to December 2007. A retrospective data analysis of culture results of urinary pathogens was performed. The data was collected from the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B). The data included culture results of 9,854 urine samples and only Gram-negative isolates irrespective of age groups were analyzed. The prevalence of UTI was observed in 24.14%. It was observed that out of 2,379 uropathogens Escherichia coli (66.92%) was the most prevalent isolate followed by Klebsiella spp. (13.45%), Proteus spp. (6.77%) and Pseudomonas spp. (6.77%). The percentage of resistance to different antibiotics was higher in E. coli , Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. isolates compared to that of others. Among the total number of isolates the resistant rate of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. to ampicillin was 86.09% and 83.33% and to cotrimoxazole was 67.61% and 59.81%, their resistance rate to nalidixic acid was 83.28% and 61.54%. All other isolates also showed above 80% resistance to ampicillin and above 50% to cotrimoxazole whereas imipenem was found to be the most effective against the uropathogens followed by amikacin.

The extract was investigated for its antioxidant activity using lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity and reducing power assays.

In lipid peroxidation assay, the IC50 value was found to be 122.43�g/mL while the IC50 value for the reference ascorbic acid was 147.87�g/ml. Moreover, Curcuma alismatifolia extract showed strong total antioxidant capacity and good reducing power. The analgesic activity was evaluated for its central and peripheral pharmacological actions using tail immersion method and acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice respectively. The extract, at the dose of 250 and 500 mg/kg, produced a significant (p < 0.05-0.001) increase in pain threshold in tail immersion methods in a dose dependent manner. In acetic acid-induced writhing test the extract, at a dose of 500 mg/kg, showed a maximum of 60.5% inhibition (p <0.001) of writhing reaction compared to the reference drug diclofenac-sodium (75.0%).
