Procedures for the microestimation of nitrogenous phosphatide constituents.

This paper describes procedures for the separation and quantitative estimation in minute amounts of several nitrogenous substances normally encountered as constituents of phosphatides; viz., ethanolamine, choline, and serine. The work is based on techniques employing paper chromatography, previously applied to the investigation, in a qualitative fashion only, of tissue lipides (1) ; its princip...

Elucidation of Biological Activity of Silver ‎Based Nanoparticles Using Plant ‎Constituents of Syzygium cumini

   We report the efficacy of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using the leaf and bark extracts of Syzygium cumini (common name Jamun) with silver nitrate (AgNO3)which were used as both reducing and capping agent at varied temperatures- 25°C, 37°C and 80°C. Three sets of AgNPs from leaf and bark extracts, were synthesized at the above mentioned temperatures, a...

Antitubercular Activity and Isolation of Chemical Constituents from plant Vitex negundo Linn.

Tuberculosis still remains a leading cause of death in the world. Currently considerable interest in natural products and their derivatives in the area of drug research for multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The present investigation focused on identification, isolation, characterization of lead constituents and to determine the antitubercular activity of their enriched fractions and is...
