The basic objective of the present work was to assess the wound healing activity of Sphaeranthus indicus flower head by providing better tissue formation and protection against microbial invasion. Various ointments of aqueous extracts in various proportions were prepared and subjected for assessment of wound healing activity in albino rats. Based on the comparison of wound healing activity of v...

The study of the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and the genes involved in these processes has been greatly facilitated by novel genomic approaches developed during the last years. Many of the biosynthetic pathways dedicated to secondary metabolism, and the enzymes involved in these pathways, have apparently evolved from the much better studied primary biosynthetic pathways. Therefore by ...
