The study was conducted with the objective to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of some selected medicinal plants against the microbes responsible for causing diseases in mastitis. The aqueous and alcoholic extracts of aerial parts of selected medicinal plants were obtained by extraction in cold maceration using water and methanol (95%) as solvents, respectively. Both the extracts were assessed for their antibacterial activity against Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The extracts were effective against the bacteria tested with zone of inhibition ranging from 9.0-24.0 mm. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values for the extracts ranged from 0.125-2.00 mg mL-1. |

To evaluate the anti-diabetic activities of alcoholic and
aqueous extracts of Asteracantha longifolia in Alloxan induced diabetic
rats. Methanol and aqueous extracts (250 mg kg-1
b.w.) of A. longifolia was administered to Alloxan induced diabetic
mice for 21 days and blood glucose levels of the diabetic rats were monitored
at intervals of hours and days throughout the duration of the experiments. Oral
administration of alcoholic extract of A. longifolia leaves to
diabetic rats for 21 days significantly reduced the levels of blood glucose
levels in both acute and sub acute study. |

The functional group analysis of various extracts (Hexane, Toluene, Tetrahydrofuran, Aqueous and
Methanol) of potential indigenous medicinal plant Andrographis paniculata was recorded. The vibrational
assignments, intensities and wave number (cm-1) of dominant peak were obtained from absorption spectra. By
this analysis, functional groups such as aminoacids, amides, amines, carboxylic acid, carbonyl compounds,
organic hydrocarbons, halogens are present in all the 3 extracts. The present results showed that the crude
extracts of this plant having high therapeutic value. In future it is used to treat against various diseases. |
