(Ma Duuk) and &lt;em&gt;Suregada multiflora&lt;/em&gt; (A. Juss.) Baill. (Khuan Thong Phayabaht) heartwood. Botanical characteristics, physicochemical properties, and TLC fingerprints were evaluated. Both species exhibited unique macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, with variations in bark texture and heartwood color. TLC fingerprints provide distinctive chromatographic profiles, enabling authentication. This study also established a limitation for the ethanolic-soluble extractive of both herbs at not less than 3% (w/w). The limitations of water-soluble extractive content of &lt;em&gt;S. celastrineus&lt;/em&gt; Griff. and &lt;em&gt;S. multiflora&lt;/em&gt; (A. Juss) Baill. were determined to be not less than 5% and 3% (w/w), respectively. The findings support the establishment of quality control criteria for the heartwood of &lt;em&gt;S. celastrineus Griff&lt;/em&gt;. and &lt;em&gt;S. multiflora&lt;/em&gt; (A. Juss) Baill., contributing to their potential inclusion in the Thai Herbal Pharmacopoeia and validating their ethnomedical use.&lt;/p&gt;

Osbeck were used in appropriate ratio to make herbal formulation to cure dysmenorrheal pain by the traditional healers of Rajbanshi community. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; By semi-structured questionnaires in the course of scheduled interviews with the local herbal practitioners, four herbal formulations (coded as DYS1, DYS2, DYS3 and DYS4) were recorded. Pharmacognostic characterization was carried out for the authentication of the powder drugs which includes powder microscopy, fluorescence analysis and physicochemical evaluation. The presence of any therapeutic potential in DYS1, DYS2, DYS3 and DYS4 was determined by qualitative evaluation of phytochemicals of various successive solvent extracts based on their polarity. Thin layer chromatography was performed for screening various phyto-active compounds like arbutin, alkaloids, coumarins, cardiac glycoside, etc. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Powder microscopy revealed the presence of calcium oxalate crystal, stone cells etc. Various fluorescence colors were exhibited by these herbal drugs under UV after reacting with chemical reagents. Physical analyses values were also obtained in a satisfactory way. TLC and qualitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of active phytoconstituents like arbutin, alkaloids, coumarins, cardiac glycoside etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results support the use of plants as a traditional medicine for the prevention disorders like Dysmenorrhea. Further evaluation is required for determining the efficacy of those herbal drugs and the active phytoconstituents involved in Dysmenorrheal therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">738</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Priyankar Roy&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Palash Mandal&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;*, Subhasis Panda&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Sonia Mitra&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Arunika Subba&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The presence of any therapeutic potential in HP was also determined by qualitative and quantitative estimation of phytochemicals along with free radical scavenging activity of various successive solvent extracts (based on their polarity). Thin layer chromatography (TLC) of the powdered HP was also done. The standard software SPSS (ver. 15.0) and XLSTAT 2009 (Addinsoft) and Smith&amp;rsquo;s Statistical Package were used for different statistical analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Powder microscopy of HP revealed the presence of calcium oxalate crystal, tracheids, stone cells etc. Various fluorescence colours were exhibited by HP on UV after reacting with different chemical reagents. The analysis values were also obtained in a satisfactory way. TLC and qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of some active phytoconstituents. Among all the solvent extracts, acetone, heptane, ethyl acetate and benzene extracts showed higher antioxidant potential. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The results support the use of HP as a traditional medicine and further purification should be done for the identification of bioactive phytoconstituents responsible for its antioxidant activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">348</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arunika Subba and Palash Mandal* &lt;/strong&gt;Department of Botany, Plant Physiology and Pharmacognosy Research Laboratory, University of North Bengal, Siliguri, West Bengal, India.&lt;/p&gt;
