Ethnobotanical enquiries have revealed that Khaya anthotheca (Welw.) C.DC (Meliaceae) has anxiolytic properties and is used to alleviate vaginal dryness in postmenopausal women in Cameroon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ameliorative effects of the aqueous extract of K. anthotheca in vanadium induced anxiety, memory loss and pathologies in the brain and ovary of mice.
Forty neonatal female mice were used in this study. All animals received vanadium (3mg/kg BW/72h, by lactation and i.p.) for 20 weeks except the Control group. At 16 weeks old, mice were divided into 5 groups (n=8) Control group received distilled water; V-group received vanadium (V) (3mg/kg BW every 72h i.p.), V+Vit E group received vitamin E (500mg/kg BW/72h) and vanadium (V) (3mg/kg BW/72h i.p, simultaneously). Gefitinib V+KA 125 and V+KA 250 groups received K. anthotheca extract at the doses of 125 and 250mg/kg BW/day respectively and vanadium (V) (3mg/kg BW/72h i.p, simultaneously).The treatment was done per os at 10mL/kg of volume of tify the traditional use of this plant in Cameroonian traditional medicine to manage anxiety. Therefore, to minimise vanadium induced toxicity, the plant should be given more emphasis as a candidate in developing a modern phytodrug.
These effects induced by K. anthotheca extract could justify the traditional use of this plant in Cameroonian traditional medicine to manage anxiety. Therefore, to minimise vanadium induced toxicity, the plant should be given more emphasis as a candidate in developing a modern phytodrug.
Jasminum grandiflorum L. is a medicinal plant widely used in the traditional system of Medicine as an anthelmintic in ringworm infections, for treating ulcers, stomatitis, skin diseases, and wounds.
The emergence of resistance by different parasites to currently used chemicals has been reported. There are increasing needs for more effective and safer parasiticides. Therefore, the current study was designed to investigate the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of J. grandiflorum subsp. Floribundum (JGTE) to confirm its traditional uses as anthelmintic through a bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation of the active components with anthelmintic activity.
The JGTE was partitioned into dichloromethane (DCM-F) and n-butanol (BuOH-F) fractions. The JGTE, fractions, and the isolated compounds were tested in vitro for their anthelmintic activity using two nematodes; one larval stage of cestode and one arthropod. Four major compounds were isolated from the most active fraction (BuOH-F) including two flavonoids and two secoirridoid glycosides, identified as kaempferol-3-O-neohesperoside (1), rutin (2), oleuropein (3), and ligstroside (4).
Among the isolated compounds from most active fraction (BuOH-F), rutin (2) displayed the highest anthelmintic activity in a dose-dependent activity with IC
of 41.04μg/mL against H. muscae adult worm, followed by ligstroside (4) with IC
of 50.56μg/mL.
These findings could advocate the traditional use of J. grandiflorum L. and provide further insight into the anthelmintic activity of flavonoids.

With the spread of Coronavirus Disease (2019) (COVID-19), combination with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been widely used as a prevention and therapy strategy in China. Xin guan No.1 (XG-1) prescription is a preventive formula recommended by the Hunan Provincial Administration of TCM to prevent the pandemic of COVID-19.
To explore the potential preventive mechanisms of XG-1 against COVID-19 in the combination of network pharmacology approach, single-cell RNA expression profiling analysis, molecular docking and retrospective study.
Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ETCM) database was used to determine the meridian tropism, active components and target genes of XG-1. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analysis were conducted by R Cluster Profiler package (3.14.3). Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of human lung (GSE122960) was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and analyzed by R Seurat packents, pathways, and several target genes co-expressed with ACE2. These findings provide preliminary evidences and methodological reference for the potential preventive mechanism of XG-1 against COVID-19.
Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Physalis somnifera L.) is a fairly known perennial shrub of Solanaceae family, and is used in Ayurveda- Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM), since ancient times. It is well known as Ashwagandha in Sanskrit language in Ayurvedic classics. Its Mula (root) is recommended for health and healing, and the number of single and compound formulation is prescribed rationally. It is believed that the species name-somnifera is coined based on popular use to "induce sleep" in Ayurveda.
The present study was aimed to bring out the experience-based traditional uses of Ashwagandha for health and healing with an emphasis on the pharmacological and biochemical scientific evidences to corroborate them. The scientific evidences have been explored from the national and international publications.
A comprehensive literary search of Ayurvedic classics was carried out systematically regarding Ashwagandha for its rationality behind the traditional uses. To excavate the subject matter, the original Apracticed in Ayurveda.
Carica papaya leaf juice/decoction has been in use in folk medicine in Srilanka, Malaysia and in few parts of India for enhancing the platelet counts in dengue. In Siddha medicine, a traditional form of medicine in India, papaya leaf juice has been used for increasing the platelet counts. Papaya leaf has been reported to enhance blood volume in ancient Ayurveda books in India. Carica papaya leaf is well known for its platelet enhancement activity. Although many preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the ability of papaya leaf juice for platelet enhancement, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear.
The study is aimed at identifying the key ingredients of papaya leaf extract and elucidate the mechanism (s) of action of the identified potent component in mitigating thrombocytopenia (Thp).
C. papaya leaf juice was subjected for sequential fractionation to identify the anti-thrombocytopenic phytochemicals. In vivo, stable thrombocytopenia was induced by subcutaneous injection of 70mg/kg cyclophosphamide (Cyp).
