Abstract
Essential oil of Zanthoxylum armatum leaves was analyzed by GC and GC/MS technique. Analgesic and anti inflammatory activities were studied by hot plate and carrageenan induced paw edema in rats. Twenty six components were identified accounting for 92.18% of the total oil. 2-undecanone (44.58%), linalool (14.53%), 2-tridecanene (7.98%) and 1,8-cineole (6.92%) were found as the major components. Significant anti-inflammatory and analgesic (P<0.05) activities were observed in the oil.
Keywords: Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, essential oil, hot plate, plethysmometer, Zanthoxylum armatum.

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
