TL;DR: Products of certain plants given to mothers after child birth or to invalids were studied for immunostimulant activity and feeding of Prunus amygdalus and Buchanania lanzan significantly stimulated both CMI and humoral immunity in BALB/c mice as evidenced by the enhancement of MMI, HA titres, and PFC counts.

TL;DR: The diabetic rats exhibited lower activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione content in hepatic and renal tissues as compared with normal rats, and the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH were found to be increased in extract treated diabetic rats in selected tissues.

TL;DR: A green, low‐cost and reproducible Eclipta leaves negotiated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is reported, offering the benefit of ecofriendliness and amenability for large scale production through scaling up.
Abstract: A green, low-cost and reproducible Eclipta leaves negotiated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is reported. The synthesis is performed at room temperature. X-ray and transmission electron microscopy analyses are performed to ascertain the formation of Ag nanoparticles. Nanoparticles almost spherical in shape having a size of 2-6 nm are found. UV-visible study revealed the surface plasmon resonance at 419 nm. The lattice strain is estimated to be 0.0045 using Williamson-Hall approach. The use of Eclipta for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles offers the benefit of ecofriendliness and amenability for large scale production through scaling up.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method using photodiode array detector with gradient elution has been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of ascorbic acid, free phenolic acids and flavonoids (catechin, rutin, quercetin, myrecetin and apigenin and Kaempferol) in four different solvent extracts of two wild edible leaves of viz. Sonchus arvensis and Oenanthe linearis, collected from North-eastern region in India.
Abstract: A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method using photodiode array detector with gradient elution has been developed and validated for the simultaneous estimation of ascorbic acid , free phenolic acids and flavonoids (catechin, rutin , quercetin, myrecetin, apigenin and Kaempferol) in four different solvent extracts of two wild edible leaves of viz. Sonchus arvensis and Oenanthe linearis, collected from North-eastern region in India . The chromatographic separation was carried out on Acclaim C 18 column (5 μm particle size, 250 x 4.6 mm) , Dionex Ultimate 3000 liquid chromatograph and detection was carried out at three different wave lengths (272 , 280 and 310 nm) using a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 1% aqueous acetic acid solution with gradient elution . The experimental results showed high amount of ascorbic acid in S. arvensis and O. linearis (1.2% and 2.3 % respectively) and gallic acid ( 0.02% and 0.06% respectively) in 1% aq. acetic acid extract of these two plants. The high percentage of recovery (96-103%), low coefficient of variation ( R2 > 0.99) and low limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) confirm the suitability of the method for simultaneous quantification of ascorbic acid and all phenolic compounds in the two plants under investigation.
