“…It mainly showing the properties of starch such as carbohydrate that normally consists only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The presence of several element such as natrium and magnesium shows that these elements may have a role in the therapeutic action of the plant [17] which is it already known that Polygonum. minus has a good antioxidant properties.…”

Herb have been the basis of traditional medicines throughout the world for thousands of years and continue to provide new remedies to humankind In this study, Polygonum minus (kesum) nanoparticles were prepared by using planetary ball mill and analysis for their physical and morphology properties. The size reduction method had a distinct effect on physical and morphology properties of Polygonum minus analyzed. The surface morphology and roughness of nanoherb was analyzed by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FSEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The result showed that after ball milling, the average size of particles was produced in range 227-241nm which was significantly smaller than the 100 μm prepared by conventional rotor mixer. Higher degree of granule surface fractured was observed as a result of a planetary ball milling process based on FESEM images.

Background: Cyperus scariosus R.Br and Cyperus rotundus L are well known Indian medicinal plants in ayurveda and herbal industry. These two species are often treated as synonymous to each other, although they grow in different agro climatic conditions. Objective: In the present study, we made an attempt on comparative biochemical studies among these two species by using various spectroscopic, analytical and in silico molecular docking studies. Materials and Methods: Rhizome methanolic extracts of both the species were subjected to GC-MS and elemental analysis to identify the presence of phytochemical constituents and trace elements respectively. Following confirmation, the identified compounds were subjected to molecular docking analysis using anti-inflammatory protein COX-2 as the target receptor. Further these extracts were encapsulated into biodegradable chitosan nanoparticles and they were characterised using SEM and FT-IR analysis. Finally, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of these extract loaded nanoparticles were evaluated using in vitro assays. Results: Compounds present in both plant extracts form strong hydrogen bond interactions with COX-2. SEM analysis of C. scariosus showed chitosan nanoparticles are spherical in shape. Whereas C. rotundus forms aggregates, although they are well-dispersed in water following lyophilisation. FT-IR analysis showed that both plant extracts have different compounds, which is evident from the wavelength difference and their shift pattern as compared to blank nanoparticles. In spite of the differences, both of the drug encapsulated plant extracts showed good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusion: C. scariosus and C. rotundus are different, but similar with some of the phytochemical constituents and pharmaceutical values.

Congress grass (Parthenium hysterophorus L., family Asteraceae) is found generally in agricultural and vacant lands across the globe. This study investigated the fatty acids and elemental profiles of different parts including roots, stem and leaves of P. hysterophorus in the response to seasonal variation. The elemental analysis and fatty acid were determined in both the winter and summer seasons. The root, stem, and leaves powder were subjected to extraction with acetone, water, chloroform, diethyl ether, ethanol, methanol, and n-hexane to measure the extractive values. Among all the plant parts, leaves recorded the highest extractive value of 29%, and 28% with acetone and diethyl ether, respectively, while the root recorded the lowest (10.3%) extractive value with chloroform. Higher concentrations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were detected in all the plant parts in the winter collection than in the summer season. Parthenium hysterophorus is multi medicinal applications such as used for rheumatic pain, urinary tract infections, inflammation, diarrhea, neuralgia, and malaria. The study highlights the importance of collection time (seasons) of different parts of P. hysterophorus for the maximum extraction of both elements and fatty acids either saturated or unsaturated from the pharmacogenetic point of view.
