Abstract
Purpose of the research: Ethnopharmacological survey indicated that leaves decoction of Tecomaria capensis (Thunb.) Spach (Bignoniaceae) was used in the treatment of diarrhea and intestinal inflammation. To confirm this activity, estimation of Total tannin content and evaluation of antidiarrheal potential of methanol Tecomaria capensis leaves extract (denominated TCLE) were performed.
Major Findings: Acute toxicity study showed that no mortality and toxicity were found in animal until 14 days. TCLE showed that it contained high quantity of tannins. TCLE showed significant and dose-dependent inhibition of diarrheic defecations, intestinal transit and antienteropooling effect at doses 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg p.o.
Conclusion: This study supports previous claims regarding its ethnopharmacological use in treatment of diarrhea
Keywords: Diarrhea, Intestinal inflammation, gastro-intestinal tract, loperamide, atropine sulphate, bignoniaceae.

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
