Abstract
The present work was designed to compare the in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic properties of microwave assisted (MWSV) and Soxhlet assisted extracts of Solanum viarum fruits (SESV). The total phenol and flavonol contents of both the extracts were determined. The extracts were evaluated for in vitro antioxidant activity in different models and antibacterial activity against different bacterias and also cytotoxic effect on HeLa cancer cell line. Total phenol and flavonol contents were higher in SESV. The MWSV exhibited excellent results in nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide radical inhibition and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity and SESV has potent reducing power with the absorbance 0.448 at the concentration of 10 g/ml and strong cytotoxicity to HeLa cells. SESV also exhibited broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against six bacteria tested by disc diffusion method. These results suggest that Soxhlet extract of Solanum viarum could be considered for curing diseases from oxidative deteriorations and the bacterias.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
