This review paper provides a comprehensive summary of the pharmacological investigations conducted on selected medicinal plants of Uttarakhand Kumaun region for their hepatoprotective and antiulcer potential. A search of relevant studies published between 2010 and 2022 was conducted, and a total of 22 studies were included in the review. The findings suggest that the selected medicinal plants exhibit promising hepatoprotective and antiulcer activity, as evidenced by the significant improvements in various biochemical markers of liver function and ulcer severity in animal models. The potential of these plants as a source of new drugs for the treatment of liver diseases is highlighted. However, the need for further research to establish their safety and efficacy in humans is emphasized.

A Polyherbal formulation, syrup is in clinical use for its anthelmintic activity for last few decades. However, no systematic study on its therapeutic/pharmacological effect is reported. The current research work was under taken to evaluate the anthelmintic property of some herbs and compare with the marketed formulation. The present study was to attribute the pharmacological effects to individual constituent as the formulation is of polyherbal nature. Prepared Curcuma longa and Moringa oleifera syrup show synergistic effect that's why formulated syrup is more effective than marketed albendazole syrup. Stability studies also concluded that the drug release profile or other parameters did not alter significantly after the accelerated stability studies. The study indicates that Polyherbal syrup i.e. Curcuma longa and Moringa oleifera will offer an option which is more convenient, effective and cost effective as compared to the marketed formulation.

Nasal delivery is the logical choice for topical treatment of local diseases in the nose and Paranasal sinuses such as allergic and non-allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. The nose is also considered an attractive route for needle-free vaccination and for systemic drug delivery, especially when rapid absorption and effect are desired. In addition, nasal delivery may help address issues related to poor bioavailability, slow absorption, drug degradation, and adverse events in the gastrointestinal tract and avoids the first-pass metabolism in the liver. However, when considering nasal delivery devices and mechanisms, it is important to keep in mind that the prime purpose of the nasal airway is to protect the delicate lungs from hazardous exposures, not to serve as a delivery route for drugs and vaccines. The narrow nasal valve and the complex convoluted nasal geometry with its dynamic cyclic physiological changes provide efficient filtration and conditioning of the inspired air, enhance o...

The term gout commonly is used to refer painful arthritis attack, but gouty arthritis is only one manifestation of gout. Gout is a chronic inflammatory disease which is characterized by the deposition of urate in synovial. It is a most effective inflammatory arthritis in men and appears to be increasing in both prevalence and incidence. Uric acid is measured in the form of sodium urate in plasma, so we called this disease as hyperuricaemia. It is treated by allopathic system as well as by homeopathic system.

Pantoprazole is a most popular drug, which are used in peptic ulcer and widely distributed in India. Present study is done to assessment parameter of enteric coated Pantoprazole tablets. Two brands of Pantoprazole tablets were collected from Rampur for their assessment test. All brands demonstrated well-designed and good-looking external features. Tablets were reliable in hardness, friability, thickness, and weight. Brands f1, f2, exhibited sufficient mechanical strength to resist fracture and abrasion. In addition, f1 and F2 brand showed acceptable disintegration time, drug release pattern and drug content. Keywords: Pantoprazole, weight variation, dissolution, enteric coated tablet, disintegration, PPI Cite this Article Divya Pathak, K.K. Jha, Shahidhusain.

Since ancient times man has relied upon the plant kingdom for the cure to ailments. Traditional folklore medicine has always played a major role in treatment of various ailments across the world. In present study medicinal plants were used namely Bacopa monnieri, Centella asiatica, Melissa officinalis. Bacopa monnieri has been utilized in the Ayurvedic arrangement of medication for quite a long time. Generally, it was utilized as a cerebrum tonic for upgrading memory improvement, learning. Centella asiatica is one of the central herbs for treating skin issues, to mend wounds, for reviving the nerves and cerebrum cells, thus essentially known as a "Brain food" in India. Melissa officinalis is a therapeutic plant just as most critical business plants amid the ongoing decades. It is utilized in customary medication for different illnesses like a plant juice, cream or tea mixture is utilized for anxious fomentation, and for advancing rest, and improves useful gastrointestinal ...

Asthma is a chronic disease that most commonly affects lungs, alveoli, trachea and other parts of the respiratory tract. Symptoms of asthma include dysponea, wheezing, cough etc. It was found that the recent increased rates of asthma are due to heritable factors other than those related to the DNA sequence and a changing living environmental. Different inflammatory cells are responsible for asthma, asthma is evident that no single inflammatory cells are able to account for the pathophysiology of allergen diseases, but some cells predominate in asthmatic episodes like mast cells, macrophases etc.

Aloe Vera is a very important and effective plant with so many health application and stuperfying that scarcely any part of human body remain uninfluenced by its healing medicinal use. It acts as a natural fighter against all classes of infection, an important effective anti-oxidant, helps in treating all digestion related problems, heartburns, arthritis, stress, kidney-stone, skins-burns, diabetes, rheumatism, pain, asthma, cancer, AIDS, It also acts as a laxative beauty enhancer and produced that effect on lowering blood sugar level in diabetics and maintain the blood sugar. It is commonly known as Barbados or Curaçao Aloe, is an herbal medicine with a long traditional use in different cultures. The main limitation of the current clinical knowledge about aloe vera gel is small clinical studies that often lack rigorous methodology. Several clinical trials are being conducted to further evaluate the use of aloe vera gel for a variety of disorders, as well as to further confirm tradi...

The pathophysiology of Alzheimer Disease is very complexes, involving neurotransmitter system and processes. In this review number of diversity of aberrant mechanism increase the hope of finding and diverse therapeutic intervention for the treatment of AD. Hallmarks of AD neuritic plaque, loss of cholinergic cells, tau protein. It is the most common cause of dementia, leading to deterioration in vital cognitive process and behavioural changes. There are five drug approved for AD i.e. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (4), for the symptoms of mild to moderate AD and glutamate receptor antagonist (1),for the treatment of moderate to severe AD. Recent developments in the field confirm some important predictions of the hypothesis and shed new lights on potential mechanisms regarding how steady state may be achieved in severe or sporadic AD cases ,our opinion is that, strengthen the hypothesis & our studied with these drugs are focusing on longer effect or follow up.

To investigate the effect of Curcumin in Celecoxib and STZ induced experimental dementia of Alzheimer disease in mice. Celecoxib and STZ for administrations were used to induce experimental dementia. Curcumin (150 mg/kg, p.o) treatment started two days prior to Celecoxib or STZ administration followed by treatment of Celecoxib (100mg/kg, p.o) and STZ (3mg/kg, i.c.v). Cognitive behaviour was asses by using Morris water maze and elevated plus-maze was used for by measuring transfer latency (TL). On 9 th day animals were sacrificed and acetyl cholinesterase activity was measured to assess cholinergic activity of the brain, thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) levels, catalase activity, DPPH assay and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were measured to asses the oxidative stress in brain. The present data demonstrate that curcumin improves memory in celecoxib or STZ induced dementia. From the present data it may be concluded improvement of memory by treatment of Curcumin is due to decrease the oxidative stress.
