TL;DR: Saponin (SN1) isolated from C. infortunatum leaves decreased the duration of seizures and gave protection in a dose dependent manner against leptazol-induced convulsions and the results suggest that saponin has significant analgesic and anticonvulsant effects.
Abstract: Saponin (SN1) isolated from C. infortunatum leaves in doses of 30, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg, ip provided 36.28, 60.47, 90.71, 100% protection respectively from writhing induced by 1.2% v/v acetic acid. In hot plate method, SN1 not only produced analgesia in mice but also potentiated the analgesic action of pentazocine and aspirin. The anticonvulsant activity was tested by leptazol-induced seizures. SN1 decreased the duration of seizures and gave protection in a dose dependent manner against leptazol-induced convulsions. The results suggest that saponin has significant analgesic and anticonvulsant effects.

TL;DR: The present article deals with the isolation and structural elucidation of a novel flavonol glycoside 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-7- O - f - l -rhamnopyranosyl(1 M 3)- O - g - d -galactopyranuside from the roots of Bauhinia Variegata and its structure was identified by spectral analysis and chemical degradations.

TL;DR: Both crude extract and chloroform fraction showed marked anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as compared to a control at tested doses, suggesting the whole plant of Physalis minima Linn could be considered as a potential candidate for bioactivity-guided isolation of natural anti- inflammation and analgesics agents.
Abstract: In our present investigation, the crude methanol extract and chloroform fraction of the whole plant of Physalis minima Linn (Solanaceae) was investigated for anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities in NMRI mice and Wistar rats of either sex at 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. Various established in-vivo model's were used during the study. Both crude extract and chloroform fraction showed marked anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities as compared to a control at tested doses. The antipyretic potential of the crude extract and chloroform were insignificant in the Brewer's yeast fever model. Therefore, the whole plant of Physalis minima Linn could be considered as a potential candidate for bioactivity-guided isolation of natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

TL;DR: The efficacy and safety of all the reported ethnomedicinal plants needs to be evaluated for phytochemical and pharmacological studies, especially the plants with high informant consensus factor, use value and fidelity level should be given priority to carry out bioassay and toxicity studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a GC-MS technique was used to determine the possible chemical components from C.dactylon leaves by analyzing the leaves of the Poaceae (Cynodon dactylon) species.
Abstract: Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. (family -Poaceae), is traditionally used for curing different aliments. Hence the present investigation was carried out to determine the possible chemical components from C.dactylon leaves by GC-MS Technique. This analysis revealed that C.dactylon leaves contain Glycerin (38.49%), 9, 12-Octadecadienoyl chloride,(Z,Z)-(15.61%), Hexadecanoic acid , ethyl ester (9.50%), Ethyl �. -d-glucopyranoside (8.42%), Linoleic acid,ethyl ester(5.32%), and Phytol (4.89%) justifying the use of this plant to treat many aliments in folk and herbal medicine.
