The present study was conducted to explore the adipogenic potential and glucose uptake stimulatory activity of Phyllanthus emblica and Tinospora cordifolia using 3T3L1 fibroblast cell line as pre-adipocytes.The plant extracts were substituted for insulin in the Insulin-IBMX-DEX cocktail used for differentiation of pre-adipocytes. The degree of differentiation of these plants was assessed by Oil...

Present investigation was aimed at formulation, characterization and evaluation of phytosomal complex tablets for sustained delivery of Phyllanthus amarus complex. Phyllanthin, one of the active lignin present in this plant species was isolated from the aerial parts, by silica gel column chromatography employing gradient elution with hexane–ethyl acetate solvent mixture. It was obtained in high...

Plants from the genus Phyllanthus like Phyllanthus muellerianus have long been used in folk medicine for several ailments including fevers, toothache, dysmenorrhea, anemia and paralysis. Despite these folkloric uses, there is little scientific data supporting the use of this plant in the management of pain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Phyl...

Several preemergent herbicides were compared for control of the warm season annuals Phyllanthus urinaria and P. tenellus. Approximately 55 seeds per species were applied to each 3.8-liter container filled with a pine bark:Canadian sphagnum peat:sand medium (3:1:1, by vol.; initial pH = 5.6). The six treatments (including untreated pots), with four replications per treatment and three pots per r...

The present article describes the chemical characteristics such as pH of aqueous extract, fluorescence, aqueous and alcoholic extractives, lignans and TLC profile of aqueous extract of Bhuiavli (Phyllanthus niruri).

Phytochemical studies of whole plant of Phyllanthus debilis Klein.ex.willd (Euphorbiaceae) reveals the presence of phytosterols, lignans, glycosides and absence of saponin, triterpenoids, tannins and alkaloids have been reported in this plant for the first time.

Peripheral blood is an accessible adult stem cell source for both basic and applied research including clinical applications. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reported to possess multipotent progenitor cell populations and has the potential to differentiate into blood cells, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, cardiomyogenic cells, smooth muscle cells, osteoblasts and so on. They can...

The curative parts of medicinal plants are not simply its woody stem or its leaves but the number of chemical compounds (phytoconstituents) it produces and uses for its own growth like flavonoids, alkaloids, gum, mucilage, protein, carbohydrate etc. The genus Phyllanthus is widely used in medicine but still lot of work left to explore this genus. So the species, Phyllanthus emblica which is wid...

Liver disease has become a global concern worldwide. In absence of reliable liver protective drugs in modem medicine, a large number of medicinal preparations are recommended for the treatment of liver disorders as they are believed to be harmless based on their natural origin. The aim of the present study was to determine the hepatoprotective activity of Phyllanthus amarus plant extract agains...

Phyllanthus has been widely used in traditional medicine as an antipyretic, a diuretic, and to treat liver diseases and viral infections. Correct genotype identification of medicinal plant material remains important for the botanical drug industry. Limitations of chemical and morphological approaches for authentication have generated the need for newer methods in quality control of botanicals. ...
