TL;DR: The results obtained in the in vitro models clearly suggest that methanol extract has higher antioxidant activity than the aqueous extract due to a higher presence of phenolic and flavonodal constituents in the methano extract.

TL;DR: The synergistic cytotoxicity was observed on addition of 5-FU + CUR-loaded CS/rGO nanocomposite which shows the effectiveness of the system toward the inhibition of growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells.
Abstract: Recent attention on chemotherapy against cancer is to explore the effective therapy through targeted delivery of anticancer agents to the tumor site by manipulating pharmacokinetic properties of nanocarriers. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and curcumin (CUR) loaded chitosan/reduced graphene oxide (CS/rGO) nanocomposite has been prepared via simple chemical method. The polymer matrix-type chitosan/rGO nanocomposite, before and after encapsulation, has been analyzed by various characterizations. Entrapment and loading efficiencies were estimated. The results that demonstrated higher entrapment efficiency (> 90%) were achieved by CS/rGO nanocarrier. Various kinetic models were used to analyze the release model and to elucidate the release mechanism of the drug from CS/rGO nanocomposite. The synergistic cytotoxicity was observed on addition of 5-FU + CUR-loaded CS/rGO nanocomposite which shows the effectiveness of the system toward the inhibition of growth of HT-29 colon cancer cells. The better cytotoxicity with an IC50 of 23.8 μg/mL was observed for dual-drug-loaded nanocomposite.

TL;DR: The data obtained clearly indicate that the Semecarpus anacardium is effective at the dose level of 150 mg/kg body weight in adjuvant-induced arthritis in albino Wistar rats.
Abstract: 1. Adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats is used as a pathologic model for chronic inflammatory disease to evaluate the efficacy of therapeutic agents. 2. In the present work, attempts have been made to study the potency of a milk extract of Semecarpus anacardium (Serankottai Nei), a Siddha preparation from Semecarpus anacardium nut, which has been shown to have antiarthritic effects. 3. Experimental arthritis induces a significant modification in lysosomal enzyme release and total carbohydrate components of glycoprotein. 4. Milk extract was administered at the dose level of 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/kg body weight in olive oil orally (volume 0.5 ml) after 14 days from the day of adjuvant injection. 5. After administration of the extract the lysosomal enzyme activity and protein-bound carbohydrate component levels were significantly normalized. 6. The data obtained clearly indicate that the Semecarpus anacardium is effective at the dose level of 150 mg/kg body weight in adjuvant-induced arthritis in albino Wistar rats.

TL;DR: LUT acts as an antimetastatic agent by suppressing M MP-9 and MMP-2 productions and upregulating TIMP-2 expression, thereby suggesting that LUT can be a chemotherapeutic agent against CRC.
Abstract: The present investigation deals with the antimetastatic role of luteolin (LUT) by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and -2 in azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis in Balb/C mic...
