Formulation and evaluation of antihelminthic polyherbal tablets

Abstract: From time immemorial, man has been depending on plants as medicine. Helminthes infections are among the most common infections in man, affecting a large proportion of the world’s population. These helminthic diseases can be treated by various herbal drugs. The purpose of the present work was to formulate antihelminthic tablets. In this work, a spray dried-powder was used, which was obtained from the extract of different part of seven plants that were used in helminthic disease. The different tablets were prepared by using different types of disintegrating agents and various excipients. All parameters related to physicochemical property, trace metal and microbial examination of the spray-dried powder showed that these were within limits and could be used for the tablet formulation. The granules of the spray-dried powder were prepared by a wet granulation technique using isopropyl alcohol. The blends were evaluated for flow properties and for compressibility, which were found to be good. The tablets were prepared using a single rotatory punching machine, in which the punch size was 11 mm×8 mm, and formulated caplet-type tablets. These tablets were evaluated for the colour, odor, thickness and diameter, with visual inspection for any defects, weight variation, hardness, friability and in vitro disintegration time. Key words: Antihelminthic, herbal tablets, spray-dried powder

Free gingival autograft - a case report

Abstract: Gingival recession is defined as Displacement of soft tissue margin apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The esthetic demand together with reduction of root sensitivity and management of root caries or cervical abrasion are the main indication for root coverage. The root coverage procedure is quite predictable and also produces patient satisfaction. This paper reports a case of 45yr old female with a root coverage procedure has been discussed below.

Physico-Chemical Evaluation for Allium hookeri Thw. Enum Leaves

Abstract: Awareness and general acceptability of the natural products is increasing day by day because of its lesser side effect and cost factor. Above 80% of the world population is depending upon herbal medicines. Use of plants as medicine is the oldest practice that has been used in all countries from ancient time. Based on those old practices medicines of modern days are derived either directly or indirectly from the natural products. Manipur is one of the north eastern states of India and one of the hot spot areas of biodiversity, blessed with the amazing variety of flora and fauna. Allium hookeri belongs to Alliaceae family and is a perennial herb growing in dampy soil in every kitchen garden in Manipur. It is locally known as Maroi Napakpi and used as spice and condiment in almost all Manipuri dishes. Its taste is preferred over onion in Manipur.Fresh leaves and fibrous roots are used as medicine in reducing temperature, in swelling as an antimicrobial and antioxidant and reducing blood cholesterol etc. It is reported that its root has antioxidant, free radical scavenging, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action. In Manipur people are taking fresh green leaves for many ailments like reducing temperature, reducing blood cholesterol, etc.. So the present study has been carried out to evaluate pharmacognostic and physicochemical analysis of shade dried leaves of Allium hookeri .. The reported information will provide data which will be useful in proper identification and authentification of this plant for future research work.
