Classification of drugs is a continuous practice in any pharmacology to identify the drugs. Ayurved classical texts provide different classifications to identify drugs on the basis of their origin, morphology, qualities of action, Therapeutic and pharmacological. AshtangHridya [Ayurved classical text] has mentioned 33 ganas in SutrasthanaShodhanadiGanaSangrahaAdhyayaaccording to their therapeutic uses. Patol, Katurohini, Chandan, Madhustrava, Guduchi and Patha drugs are mentioned in Patoladigana. These are acting on Kapha Pitta Doshas and Kushtha[ Skin diseases], Jwara [ fever], Visha [ toxic], Vami [ Vomiting] , Arochak [Anorexia] and Kamala[ Jaundice] diseases. All six drugs are used in different conditions of Vami [Vomiting] in the forms of decoction, ghrut, oil and powder. Chhardiis Gastro-Intestinal disorder, where vitiation of Kapha, pitta and vata move in upward direction leading to Chhardi.

Due to the continuous use of antibiotics, many microorganisms have acquired resistance. One example includes Staphylococcus aureus. This Gram positive bacterium has been implicated in causing infections ranging from mild skin infections to severe and life threatening infections. Considering antibiotic resistance as a major problem in treating infections caused by this organism, scientists have been searching for new means to solve the problem. In this study aims, the antibacterial effect of Artemisia verlotiorum, a plant belonging to the family Asteraceae, on 18 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. Both the 5 methicillin-resistant strains of the organism (MRSA) and the 13 methicillin-sensitive strains (MSSA), were subjected to three different doses of the Artemisia verlotiorummethanol extract............

Leech therapy can be correlated to Jaloukavacharana in Ayurveda, which is the best tool of Raktamokshana curing many diseases like abscess, cysts, tumors, celulites, and blood borne diseases.It is a parasurgical procedure which can be done in children, delicate people, ladies, and in those who are afraid of surgery.Hirudomedicinalis(European Medicinal Leech) is the most frequently used species of leech that is not native to the Indian subcontinent. In India the species used traditionally for therapeutic purposes is Hirudinariagranulosa. Besides these, Macrobdelladecora (American medicinal leech), Hirudomichaelseni, Hirudonipponia, Hirudo verbena, and Hirudoorientalisare also being used for therapeutic purposes...........

The present study deals with development of a simple, rapid, sensitive and economic stability
indicatinghigh performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for simultaneous quantitative estimation of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide in bulk and tablet dosage form. The chromatographic separation was achieved by using TLC plates precoated with Silica gel 60 F254 as stationary phase and the mobile phase consisting of toluene: ethyl acetate: acetic acid in the ratio of 1:5:1 v/v. Telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide were well resolved with Rf0.22 ± 0.03 and 0.57 ± 0.03 respectively. Densitometry scanning was carried out for the detection of spots at 280nm. ICH recommended stress degradation studies were performed on telmisartan, hydrochlorothiazide............

Lead poisoning is known to cause a number of adverse effects including neprophaty, infertility, liver, testis and heart damages in human and experimental animals. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects of Aqueous and Ethanol extracts of Ziziphus mauritiana leaves (AZM & EZM respectivly) in lead acetate induced liver toxicity in adult male Wistar rats. Forty (40) Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 8 groups of containing 5 rats each. Group 1 was administered with distilled water from 1st to 35th day, Group 2 to 7 were administered with 120mg/kg bwt of lead acetate from 1st to 21st. Rats in Group 2 were sacrificed on the 22nd day of the administration. From the 22nd to 35th day; Groups 3 and 5 were treated.............
