The present study was designed to evaluate the antimutagenic potential of ripe Aegle marmelos fruit, using micronucleus and chromosomal aberration assay in mouse bone marrow. The antimutagenic effect of 50% methanolic extract of ripe Aegle marmelos fruit was assessed using cyclophosphamide induced micronuclei (MN) formation and chromosomal aberration (CA) in mouse. The animals were pre-treated ...

Cost-effective, fibrinolytic agents possessing least or no antigenic properties are much in demand for their prospective use as clot busters in thrombolytic therapy. The present communication explores the potential of 22 endophytic Botryosphaeria species isolated from stem of Aegle marmelos for their fibrinolytic potential. Only nine fungal isolates exhibited proteolytic activity out of which o...
