Abstract
Aerva lanata is a prostrate under-shrub used as traditional and modern system of medicine. The Prime of current study was to compare the antiproliferative and antioxidant potential of in vitro and in vivo leaf and callus extracts of Aerva lanata against human breast cancer (MCF 7) cell lines. Anticancer proficiency of methanol extracts of in vitro and in vivo leaf and matured callus extracts were evaluated by 3 - (4, 5 – dimethylthiazole – 2 – yl) - 2, 5 -diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and DNA fragmentation assays. Earlier the total antioxidant potential of the different solvent extracts was tested by 2, 2' – azino – bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline – 6 – sulphonic acid (ABTS) assay. A dose dependent inhibition of cancer cell proliferation was identified in MTT assay. Further, DNA fragmentation assay was performed and the results show the best IC50 values produced best possible digestion of DNA (by apoptosis). The results of radical scavenging activity of ABTS cation assay was recorded promising inhibitory effects of callus, in vivo and in vitro leaf methanol extracts. The inhibition rate was mainly dependent on concentration of extracts. Total phenols, tannins and flavonoids contents of the test samples were quantified. The overall results from the study highlights the use of least concentrations of methanolic callus extracts of plant has potential use in treatment of cancer related diseases in future.
Keywords: ABT’S, Aerva lanata, Callus, DNA fragmentation, MCF – 7, MTT.

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
