Effect of 2‐hydroxy 4‐methoxy benzoic acid on an experimental model of hyperlipidaemia, induced by chronic ethanol treatment
N. Saravanan,Namasivayam Nalini +1 more
TL;DR: Administration of 2‐hydroxy 4‐methoxy benzoic acid, the active principle of Hemidesmus indicus, an indigenous Ayurvedic medicinal plant in India, decreased lipids and lipoprotein concentrations significantly in an animal model of ethanol‐induced hyperlipidaemia.

Glycosides derived from Hemidesmus indicus R. Br. root inhibit adherence of Salmonella typhimurium to host cells: receptor mimicry.
Sarita Das,S. Niranjali Devaraj +1 more
TL;DR: The results show the decreased ability of adherence of GHI‐treated S. typhimurium was due to a loss of surface hydrophobicity, which suggests that the biologically significant sugars present in GHI might be mimicking host cell receptor saccharides and thereby blocking the bacterial ligands from binding to the host cells.

Anti-snake venom activity of different extracts of Pouzolzia indica against Russel viper venom
A. Ahmed,K. Rajendaran,Durga Jaiswal,H.P. Singh,Ashutosh Mishra,D. Chandra,I.K. Yadav,Divya Jain +7 more
TL;DR: The alcoholic and aqueous extracts of P. indica showed potent snake venom neutralizing capacity against Russell viper venom, and vegetable extracts with a range of antiophidian activities constitute an excellent alternative.

Anti-inflammatory steroids induce biosynthesis of a phospholipase A2 inhibitor which prevents prostaglandin generation.
R J Flower,G J Blackwell +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that similar events occur in the guinea pig perfused lung before inhibition by steroids of phospholipase A2 activity (and thus TXA2 generation), and a steroid-induced factor is discovered which mimics the anti-phospholipases effects of these anti-inflammatory agents.
