ABSTRACT
Effect of formulated ointment of the extract of Ruellia patula for wound healing was evaluated. The ethanol extract of the plant was formulated in simple ointment base. The ointment showed very good healing activity on excision wound in albino rats as compared to that of standard drug Framycetin Sulphate Cream 1% w/w
ABSTRACT
The in vitro anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity of Mollugo oppositifolia Linn. [Family: Aizoaceae] root extracts had been investigated against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The petroleum ether and methanol extracts of Mollugo oppositifolia Linn. showed high degree of activity against all test organisms. The inhibitory effects of extracts are very close and identical in magnitude and are comparable with that of standard antibiotics used
ABSTRACT
Aqueous, chloroform and methanol extracts of leaves of Vitex negundo were tested against various bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 2079, Staphylococcus epidermidis NCIM 2493, Staphylococcus albus NCIM 2/78. Baciffus subtilis NCIM 2063, Escherichia coli NCIM 2065. Klebsiella aerogens NCIM-1098, Proteus vulgaris NCIM 2027 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 2036. Positive antibacterial activities were observed with methanolic and chloroform extracts against all bacteria, no inhibitory activities of aqueous extract was noticed
ABSTRACT
Effect of formulated cream of leaf volatile oil of Atalantia monophylla Correa. for wound healing and antimicrobial activity [bacteria and fungi] were evaluated. The volatile oil was distilled from leaves by using hydrodistillation method. The 2% and 5% cream was prepared by using base [stearic acid, potassium hydroxide, cetostearyl alcohol, liquid paraffin, petroleum jelly, propyl paraben sodium, methyl paraben sodium and glycerin]. The cream showed very good wound healing activity by excision wound method in rats compared to that of standard drug Nitrofurazone. The antimicrobial activity of 2% femulated cream was also carried out by standard cup plate technique using Ciprofloxacin and Nystatin as standard drugs for bacteria and fungi respectively
