TL;DR: The adjuvant effect and antiserum potentiation of a compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy benzoic acid, isolated and purified from the Indian medicinal plant Hemidesmus indicus R. Br, possessed antisnake venom activity raised the possibility of the use of chemical antagonists against snake bite, which may provide a better protection in presence of antisersum, especially in the rural parts of India.

TL;DR: The maintenance of normal morphology of the roots, consistent biomass and product yields over a 21-month period indicated the stability of the cultures.
Abstract: Nodal explants of Hemidesmus indicus plants cultured in half strength Murashige and Skoog medium fortified with 2 mg indole-3-butyric acid l−1 in the dark produced 10–12 roots (1–2 cm) with minimal callusing in 10 days. Roots, ∼20 mg dry wt, cultured in Gamborg et al. medium supplemented with 2 mg IBA l−1, sucrose (4% w/v), pH (5.6) and agitation (70 rpm) in the dark yielded 550 mg root dry wt/flask and 0.18% 2-hydroxy 4-methoxy benzaldehyde in the roots after 30 days. The maintenance of normal morphology of the roots, consistent biomass and product yields over a 21-month period indicated the stability of the cultures. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
