The recipe comprises the roots of five plants including&lt;em&gt; Capparis micracantha, Clerodendrum indicum, Ficus racemosa, Harrisonia perforata&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; Tiliacora triandra&lt;/em&gt; as its ingredients. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The extracts of Ha-Rak and its five herbal principles were evaluated for their potential on the cytotoxicity against SW620 cancer cell lines using the MTT assay and an active compound, lupeol which was found as a cytotoxic compound in the herbal ingredients of Ha-Rak was further determined. A chromatographic method for investigating that compound in the extracts was developed herein. The analytical method comprised a cholesterol-coated C18 column, a mixture of acetonitrile and methanol (70:30) with a flow rate of 2 mL/min, and a diode-array UV wavelength at 210 nm as a stationary phase, mobile phase, and detector, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The amount of lupeol in the extracts of Ha-Rak and the herbal principles, which possessed cytotoxicity against SW620 cell lines with the IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;values of 30.10-212.24 μg/mL displayed variously in the range of 4.50-250.62 mg/100g. The difference of the contents among the extracts was noted significantly (&lt;em&gt;P &lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt; 0.05). The correlation between the lupeol contents and their cytotoxic performances on the tested cell lines was observed in our investigation. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Our findings demonstrated that Ha-Rak recipe contains a promising cytotoxic compound, lupeol and it will support the recipe to subject further pharmacological studies on anticancer activity.&lt;/p&gt;

Most species are cultivated as ornamental plants. In the Philippines, there are at least 109 species of Hoya; 88 of these are endemic to the country. One of the endemic species is &lt;em&gt;Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; often confused with &lt;em&gt;H. diversifolia&lt;/em&gt;, which can also be found in other countries. This study is part of our research on the chemical constituents of Philippine native Hoyas.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The compounds were isolated by silica gel chromatography and identified by NMR spectroscopy. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract from the leaves of&lt;em&gt; Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; afforded squalene and mixtures of β-amyrin (1a), α-amyrin (1b) and lupeol (1c) in about 1:1:0.25 ratio; oleanone (2a), ursenone (2b) and lupenone (2c) in about 1:1:0.3 ratio; β-amyrin cinnamate (3a), α-amyrin cinnamate (3b) and lupenyl cinnamate (3c) in about 0.5:0.3:1 ratio; and β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in about 5:1 ratio. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of our study indicate that &lt;em&gt;Hoya meliflua&lt;/em&gt; shares similar chemical characteristics with other members of the genus Hoya. The triterpenes and sterols obtained from H. meliflua were also identified from other &lt;em&gt;Hoya&lt;/em&gt; species. It is interesting to note that although most Hoya plants have no known biological activity and medicinal property, the compounds isolated from H. meliflua possess diverse bioactivities.&lt;/p&gt;

Plant is found in India and in its tropical regions. Though the plant and its extracts have been indigenously valued as folklore medicine diversely in India, yet literature lacks somewhere in reverse pharmacognostical approach of this plant which reflects that plant have not been evidently explored therapeutically. There are several forms of &lt;em&gt;Plumeria rubra&lt;/em&gt; among which &lt;em&gt;P.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;rubra f. rubra&lt;/em&gt; is much appraised in India than its other forms. &lt;strong&gt;Method:&lt;/strong&gt; In Present study the anticipated potential of this plant has been validated by laying down its pharmacognostical standards along with measurement of its active therapeutic constituent Ursolic acid and Lupeol via. HPTLC, information from organized search of published literature remarks that Ursolic acid and lupeol is ubiquitous to this plant. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Microscopic features revealed the presence of paracytic type of stomata, crescent bicollateral vascular bundle, calcium oxalate crystal and clothing trichomes in leaves whereas bark showed the presence of distinct periderm with cork and phellogen, sclereids, bast tissue with parenchymatous cells. Methanolic extract of both parts of plant was subjected to HPTLC. In HPTLC studies the Ursolic acid content in leaves was found to be 0.96% whereas in bark was detected as 0.051%, lupeol content in leaves and stem was found to be 0.014% and 0.018%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The data generated could be significantly used as reference for the standardization and quality control of&lt;em&gt; Plumeria. rubra f. rubra&lt;/em&gt;, as no such work has been reported yet.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">135</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gunja Srivastava&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Abhishek Gupta&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Manjul Pratap Singh&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Anurag Mishra&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Further, physicochemical evaluation was done like, loss on drying, total ash value, acid insoluble ash value, water soluble ash value, fluorescence analysis etc. Heavy metal and pesticide residue analysis was also performed. Furthermore, ethanolic extract of &lt;em&gt;Pyrus pashia&lt;/em&gt; (EPP) obtained from cold maceration and phytochemical screening of different fractions obtained by liquid partitioning revealed the presence of various secondary metabolites such as glycosides, steroids, triterpenoids, phenols flavonoids etc. Moreover, the total phenolic content and total analysis revealed that fruits are rich source of phenols and flavonoid. The HPLC chromatogram suggested that EPP contained 4.24% w/w of lupeol. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Pharmacognostical and phytochemical investigation will ensure quality and safety of this medicinal plant, furthermore HPLC quantification will aid in authentication and development of monograph.&lt;/p&gt;

Cogn. is an extensive climbing annual herb in an agricultural country like India. Lupeol, a constituent of this species, has been reported to possess good amount of pharmacological potential.&lt;strong&gt; Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; In the current studies, the research team focused on determining the percentage of the lupeol present in the extract of &lt;em&gt;Benincasa hispida&lt;/em&gt; seeds by chromatographic techniques. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Shade-dried seeds of Benincasa hispida were subjected to soxhlet extraction followed by scrutinization of the lupeol contents by HPTLC and HPLC methods after carrying out preliminary phytochemical screening for the constituents present in the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The extraction yield was found to be 1.2% (w/w). Phytochemical screening of the extract revealed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, fixed oils and fats, tannins phenolic compounds, steroids and flavonoids. The amount of lupeol present in the seeds extract was found to be 0.47% w/w (HPTLC)and 6.85% w/v (HPLC) by HPTLC quantification and HPLC analysis respectively. Research studies showed a peak which coincided with the peak of standard lupeol signifying the presence of lupeol in the extract. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract contains significant amount of lupeol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Benincasa hispida&lt;/em&gt;, Soxhlet extraction, HPLC, HPTLC, lupeol.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hemant D.
