Abstract
In the present study, the methanolic extract of roots of B. diffusa was standardized for the isolated phenolic aglycone (BD1) through HPTLC analysis and the content of BDE1 in the extract was found to be 5.755% w/w. The extract was studied for its nephroprotective and nephrocurative effects in cisplatin (10 mg/kg b.w.i.p.) induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats. Nephrocurative and nephroprotective potential of BDE was evaluated by monitoring the parameters serum urea, createnin, blood urea nitrogen and antioxidant parameters like lipid peroxidation, super oxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and NO scavenging activities. Treatment with single dose of Cisplatin led to significant (P<0.001) increase in the values of blood urea, serum createnine and blood urea nitrogen. These elevated values were found to be significantly (P<0.001) reduced and the levels of antioxidant parameters viz. superoxide dismutase, Catalase, Lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels, were found to be equivalent to healthy animals due to treatment with 300 mg/kg b.w.p.o of the BDE. The results are also supported with the histopathological studies on kidneys.

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
