This study aimed to evaluate the biological properties of Si Boo Gan Tang rice and rice bran extracts, focusing on their anti-tyrosinase activity, anti-inflammatory activity, and cytotoxicity. The anti-tyrosinase assay revealed that the aqueous extract of rice (RW) significantly inhibited tyrosinase activity by 41.47%. Similarly, the ethanolic extract of rice (RE) exhibited anti-tyrosinase activity at 35.34%. The aqueous (RBW) and ethanolic (RBE) extracts of rice bran showed anti-tyrosinase activity with percentages of 19.26% and 29.08%, respectively. The anti-inflammatory experiment, conducted using RAW 264.7 cells, demonstrated that all extracts (RW, RBW, RE, and RBE) from rice and rice bran exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by reducing the release of nitric oxide (NO) from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The extracts had IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of over 400 μg/ml and CC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values over 400 μg/ml. Cytotoxicity was assessed using the MTT assay on HaCaT cells. The findings indicated that the IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values for both aqueous and ethanolic extracts of rice and rice bran were greater than 800 μg/ml.&lt;/p&gt;

Treatments are costly, have significant side effects, and are sometimes unavailable in Benin. Medicinal plants offer promising avenues for new therapeutic agents. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This study uses flow cytometry method to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of &lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt; (Annonaceae), &lt;em&gt;Momordica charantia&lt;/em&gt; (Cucurbitaceae) and &lt;em&gt;Launaea taraxacifolia&lt;/em&gt; (Asteraceae), three plants from the Beninese pharmacopoeia known for their anti-cancer properties. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The leaves of A. muricata, &lt;em&gt;L. taraxacifolia &lt;/em&gt;and whole plants of &lt;em&gt;M. charantia&lt;/em&gt; were collected in southern Benin. Extracts were prepared by aqueous decoction and sequential extraction with solvents of increasing polarity (dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol). The phytochemical profiles of the extracts were determined using TLC and tube tests. The cytotoxicity of the extracts was evaluated on THP-1 cancer cells and PBMC healthy cells. After treatment with the extracts, cell viability was measured by flow cytometry after staining with Thiazole Orange and Hoechst 33258. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The dichloromethane extracts of &lt;em&gt;A. muricata&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;M. charantia&lt;/em&gt;, and the ethyl acetate extract of &lt;em&gt;M. charantia&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; L. taraxacifolia &lt;/em&gt;showed significant cytotoxic effects on THP-1 cells. Their half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) were 139.6 μg/mL, 72.89 μg/mL, 81.88 μg/mL and 106.3 μg/ mL, respectively. These extracts also demonstrated good selectivity toward normal cells. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, coumarins, flavonoids, anthracene glycosides and triterpenes in the active extracts. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This study demonstrated the cytotoxic potential of three medicinal plants from the Beninese pharmacopoeia which may serve to develop further new anticancer therapies.&lt;/p&gt;

One of the reasons contains compounds that have cytotoxic effects. Mitragyna speciosa are known to contain alkaloids and have a cytotoxic effect. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;This review aimed to provide information about preclinical studies and investigates the cytotoxicity or anticancer activity of &lt;em&gt;M. speciosa.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt;: Search articles through PubMed, Springer, and Science Direct databases focusing on preclinical trials according to PRISMA guidelines. A database search yielded a total of 206 identifiable studies. Then duplicate removal and feasibility screening were carried out, resulting in 11 studies that were eligible for final analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The anticancer potentials reviewed in this study include Neuroblastoma, Leukemia, Colon Cancer, Breast Cancer, Kidney &amp;amp; Liver Cytotoxicity, Glutathione Transferases Metabolizing Enzymes, Alkaloid Combination of &lt;em&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; Cisplatin, Alkaloid Combination of M. speciosa &amp;amp; Doxorubicin and Mutagenic-Antimutagenic Activity of &lt;em&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/em&gt;. Extracts and dominant alkaloids of &lt;em&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/em&gt; have the potential for anticancer neuroblastoma, leukemia, colon, lung and breast cancer. Based on the safety aspect of the mitragynine compound, there is no mutagenic effect on cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/em&gt; contains the dominant active alkaloid compound, mitragynine. Extracts and alkaloids dominant in &lt;em&gt;M. speciosa&lt;/em&gt; have the potential as an anticancer.&lt;/p&gt;

Twelve hydrides &lt;strong&gt;(2a-2l)&lt;/strong&gt;, made of trifunctionalized coumarin and various substituted indoles, were created in an effort to realize the hope of a cancer cure. The 4,5-dimethoxysalicylaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate were combined in a Knoevenagel reaction to create the coumarin component. The construction of the indole component involved converting various aminoindoles through diazotization and Sandmeyer reactions to twelve substituted indoles &lt;strong&gt;(1a-1l)&lt;/strong&gt;. These two components were combined through a Michael addition reaction to create the desired hybrids. Investigating their spectra released from various spectroscopical instruments allowed researchers to determine the 2D molecular frameworks of these hybrids. Studying the survival of nine tumor cell types after treatment with the synthesized hybrids enabled researchers to estimate there in vitro impact as cytotoxic candidates. By checking the cell viability using an MTT marker, it was possible to see that this effect was antiproliferative. The cytotoxicity measurements, IC50 scores, revealed a number of intriguing facts. To start, the synthetic hybrids displayed a relatively similar cytotoxic pattern against the cancerous cell lines under investigation. Second, compared to hybrids with chloride, hydroxyl, or methoxy substituents, fluorinated hybrids are more toxic to cancerous cells. Finally, hybrids with indole substituted at position-6 &lt;strong&gt;(2i-2l) &lt;/strong&gt;have the highest cytotoxicity among those with indole functionalized at position-4 &lt;strong&gt;(2a-2d)&lt;/strong&gt; or position-5 &lt;strong&gt;(2e-2h)&lt;/strong&gt;. From these facts, the authors concluded that hybrids with indole substituted at position-4 can represent potential candidates as antiproliferative applicants. Moreover, hybrid &lt;strong&gt;2i &lt;/strong&gt;may serve as a valuable model for creating potent anti-breast cancer therapies.&lt;/p&gt;

D. King &amp;amp; H. Robinson is a shrub plant, which are widely grown in Indonesia. Traditionally, it is used for woundhealing and information about anticancer potential of &lt;em&gt;A. inulaefolium &lt;/em&gt;is still very limited. This study aims to assess the potential of cytotoxic activity of &lt;em&gt;A. inulaefolium &lt;/em&gt;on MCF-7 and T-47D breast cancer cells. Tests that carried out in this study were phytochemicals screening, Brine Shrimp Lethality Test (BSLT) and Cytotoxicity assay. The phytochemicals screening showed that EA (leaves extracts levels 1-3), EB (leaves extracts levels 4-6) and EC (stalk extracts) contained tannin, steroids/triterpenoids, flavonoids and phenols. The BSLT results showed that the EB has the smallest LC50 value of 12.86 μg/mL. MTT assay results showed the smallest IC50 value of the extract and the fraction on MCF-7 cells were EA 204.96 μg/ mL and FEA 205.43 μg/mL and T-47D cells were EB 217.03 μg/mL and FEA 192.36 μg/mL. The conclusion of toxicity and cytotoxicity of the herb (leaves and stalks) ethanol 96% extracts o&lt;em&gt;f A. inulaefolium &lt;/em&gt;had a very toxic effect on BSLT however had less potential cytotoxicity on MCF-7 cells and T-47D cells.&lt;/p&gt;

The plant is used in traditional medicine as an enema for newborn babies. This study aimed to isolate and identify the bioactive constituents from &lt;em&gt;H. acutatum.&lt;/em&gt; In addition, the crude extracts and isolated compounds were tested for their antioxidant, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. The phytochemical investigation afforded the known compounds stigmasterol, stigmasterol glucoside, and caffeic acid. The antioxidant activity of the ethyl acetate extract showed higher activity compared to other extracts, ascorbic acid and butylated hydroxytoluene. Antibacterial profiling of all the extracts showed no activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. The cytotoxic activity of the crude extracts was assayed&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; against two human cancer cell lines, liver hepatoblastoma (HepG2) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2). The human embryonic kidney cell line (Hek-293) was used as the non-transformed control. The plant extracts showed insufficient antiproliferative or cytotoxic activity to the tumour and regular cell lines tested, which signifies suitable for human consumption. Overall, this plant has better antioxidant activity than other plants in the genus, which needs further exploration.&lt;/p&gt;

In Indonesia, this plant is still often considered as a weed. When held, the unpleasant smell and sticky hand make people dislike this plant even though the flowers are diverse. The essential oil was extracted from the leaves of &lt;em&gt;L. camara&lt;/em&gt; by hydrodistillation. This study aimed to see how cytotoxic&lt;em&gt; L. camara &lt;/em&gt;essential oil was against HeLa carcinoma cells. This research aimed to discover if &lt;em&gt;L. camara&lt;/em&gt; essential oil was cytotoxic to HeLa cancer cells. The GC-MS investigation of an essential oil recognized ten compounds; two main constituents of the oil were Caryophyllene (27.65%) and Germacrene D (23.01%). The essential oil showed cytotoxicity on HeLa cervical cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic effect of oil was determined using MTT, IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values were 44.86 μg/mL + 0.07&lt;/p&gt;

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;

However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of the extracts have been poorly determined. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study was undertaken to examine the effect of ethyl acetate extracts of QI (EAQI) on cell cytotoxicity and induction of apoptosis in HeLa cells. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Method: &lt;/strong&gt;The &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;cytotoxicity was investigated by using the MTT [3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay and the OD values were read at 570 nm. Meanwhile the induction of apoptosis was measured by using acridine orange and propidium iodide (AO/PI) staining, flow cytometry analysis of annexin V/PI staining and cell cycle distribution.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;MTT assay showed that EAQI exhibited cytotoxicity effect on HeLa cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;of 11.50 ± 0.50 μg/ml. HeLa cells underwent apoptosis in response to EAQI treatment, demonstrated by an increase in the percentage of apoptotic cell stained with AOPI from 1.00% to 10.33% compared to untreated cell population (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;&amp;lt;0.05) at 72 hours of treatment. The evidence of early apoptosis in treated cells were also observed in annexin V/PI staining. Furthermore, an increase of cell population in sub G0/G1 phase revealed that apoptosis as the mode of cell death in HeLa cells treated with EAQI. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings indicated that EAQI significantly inhibits HeLa cell growth through induction of apoptosis. Further studies are needed to confirm the mechanism of cell death by expression of apoptotic cascade in HeLa cells treated with EAQI.&lt;/p&gt;

Hence, this work was designed to evaluate its phytochemical profile, cytotoxicity, and antioxidant activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The aqueous (AE) and ethanolic (EE) extracts of &lt;em&gt;P. hysterophorus &lt;/em&gt;flowers were obtained by decoction and ultrasound, respectively. Their phytochemical composition was determined by colorimetric tests and RP-HPLC-MS analysis. Their cytotoxic activity was tested by a hemolysis assay. The antioxidant activity was evaluated with the Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and hydroxyl radical (-OH) scavenging assays. In addition, the effect of the extracts on the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) from human erythrocytes, was evaluated. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The phytochemical screening of the AE and EE by colorimetric test showed the presence of flavonoids, steroids, triterpenes, saponins, coumarins, sesquiterpene lactones, tannins, and carbohydrates. In addition, the RP-HPLC-MS analysis identified some phenolic compounds such as flavonols, methoxyflavonols, flavones, methoxyflavones, and hydroxycinnamic acids. The hemolysis assay showed non-cytotoxic activity by AE, but EE exhibited a hemolytic effect. Furthermore, the AE and EE showed significant antioxidant activity to inhibit radicals in the TEAC, DPPH and -OH scavenging assays. Moreover, the SOD activity only showed a significant increase by AE. However, the two crude extracts increased the CAT activity, at the highest concentrations.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;P. hysterophorus &lt;/em&gt;has phytochemicals with antioxidant activity to inhibit radicals and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes &lt;em&gt;in vitro.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Antibacterial activity of the extract was investigated against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 25923), &lt;em&gt;Bacillus cereus&lt;/em&gt; (ATCC 10102), &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 25922) and &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; (ATCC 27853) using the broth dilution method. The standard 2.2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2.2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) methods were used to evaluate the scavenging activities of the extract. Anti-quorum sensing activity was assessed against biosensor strain- &lt;em&gt;Chromobacterium violaceum &lt;/em&gt;(ATCC 12472). Cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells was investigated using the tetrazolium-based colorimetric (MTT) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The extract revealed eight volatile compounds with cis-Vaccenic acid (87.06%) and 9-Octadecenoic acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester (5.21%) as the major components. Antibacterial activity against all tested strains with minimum inhibitory concentration range of 1.56 - 12.5 mg/mL was observed. The DPPH and ABTS assays demonstrated scavenging activities with the median inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) values of 0.09 mg/mL and 0.003 mg/mL, respectively. The extract also displayed strong anti-quorum sensing activity with 93% inhibition of violacein production at 25 mg/mL. A half maximum inhibitory concentration (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) of 5370 μg/mL was computed in HepG2 cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The extract has potential to be used as a source of therapeutic compounds in pharmaceutical applications.&lt;/p&gt;

Current treatments available for cervical cancer are chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and nuclear therapy. Unfortunately, these treatments still have several limitations due to serious side effects, development of resistance, and very expensive price. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective and low-cost therapy to treat cervical cancer. One of which is by utilizing natural sources available in Indonesia such as soursop (&lt;em&gt;Annona muricata&lt;/em&gt;) leaves which has been used in folk medicine as a treatment for various diseases, including cancer. However, studies about its cytotoxicity against cervical cancer in Indonesia are still limited. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of this research is to analyze the potency of &lt;em&gt;A.muricataleaves&lt;/em&gt; extracts originated from Indonesia as a novel alternative treatment for cervical cancer. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A.muricata&lt;/em&gt; leaves obtained from Serpong, West Java, Indonesia were grounded and macerated in three different solvents with various polarity, namely ethanol (polar solvent), ethyl acetate (semipolar solvent) and hexane (non-polar solvent). Subsequently, the extracts were diluted into 8 various concentrations. Cytotoxicity of &lt;em&gt;A.muricataleaves &lt;/em&gt;extracts against HeLa cervical cancer cells were determined by MTT assay and expressed by IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value.&lt;strong&gt; Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that three extracts of &lt;em&gt;A.muricata&lt;/em&gt; have strong cytotoxicity against cervical HeLa cells. The highest cytotoxic activity was shown by etanol extract with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 35.51 μg/mL, followed by ethyl acetate (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 5.91 μg/mL), and hexane (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 8.39 μg/mL). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;A.muricata &lt;/em&gt;leaves extracts are potential to be developed as a novel alternative therapy for cervical cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

This research aims to investigate phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity and &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;cytotoxicity of marine algal &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum &lt;/em&gt;on cervical HeLa cancer.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum&lt;/em&gt; collected from Dompu beach, Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia, were extracted into organic solvent of n-hexane, ethylacetate, chloroform and ethanol, respectively. Subsequently, &lt;em&gt;Sargassum polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts were applied for Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis, phytochemistry test, total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, as well as for antioxidant activity test by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method, and in vitro cytotoxicity evaluation on HeLa cells by MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Phytochemical analysis of&lt;em&gt; S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts are positive for metabolites of flavonoid, steroid, tannin and glycoside. TLC analysis revealed that &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts containing four phytochemical components. Ethylacetate extract of&lt;em&gt; S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; showed the highest total phenolic content, and exhibited greater antioxidant activity than ethanol extract. Total phenolic and total flavonoid content in ethylacetate extract are 548.61 μg/mL and 40.06 μg /mL, respectively. Ethylacetate extract of &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 298.3 μg/mL is assigned to have a weak antioxidant activity against DPPH free radical. The results indicate that antioxidant activity of ethylacetate extracts of &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; is directly correlated with its total phenolic and flavonoid content. Moreover, &lt;em&gt;S. polycystum&lt;/em&gt; extracts demonstrated a strong anticancer activity on cervical HeLa cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;ranging from 38.3 μg/mL to 112.8 μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This work confirmed that S.polycystum are promising natural antioxidant and anti-cervical cancer agents.&lt;/p&gt;

Thus, gallic acid has become an attractive substance to be further developed due to its strong cytotoxic activity. This study aimed to synthesize gallic acid nanoparticle coating with alginate-chitosan, and evaluate its cytotoxicity against breast T47D cancer cells.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Gallic acid nanoparticle was synthesized using ionic gelation method. The yield, size and morphology of the nanoparticles were determined by UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity evaluation of gallic acid nanoparticle towards breast T47D cancer cell is carried out by MTT(3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide) assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Spherical nanoparticles of gallic acid with the size of 100-200 nm has been successfully synthesized in 96% of yield. Compared to gallic acid (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 20.86 μg/mL) and alginate-chitosan nanoparticle (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;: 38.46 μg/mL), gallic acid coating with alginate-chitosan nanoparticles demonstrated higher cytotoxicity towards breast T47D cancer cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50 &lt;/sub&gt;value of 9.03μg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Our results clearly confirmed that gallic acid nanoparticles coating with alginate-chitosan showed a strong cytotoxicity towards breast T47D cancer cells, which is potential to be developed as a candidate for new anti-breast cancer agent.&lt;/p&gt;

In this study we highlight &lt;em&gt;Equisetum hyemale&lt;/em&gt;, belonging to the phylum Sphenophyta and the family Equisetaceae. Popularly, the stems of this plant are used for their diuretic, digestive, anti-anemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Given this context, and the fact that the growth of antimicrobial resistance is a serious problem for global public health, this plant could be used as an alternative, to increase our therapeutic arsenal. Therefore, it is important to more clearly elucidate the complex structures present in plants, because these substances are mainly responsible for their beneficial and/or toxic effects. Thus, the objective of this study was evaluate the antimicrobial activity, cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of the phenolic compounds separately. The substances luteolin, ferulic acid and coumarin were identified at high concentrations by ultra-high performance chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS). Antimicrobial activity was elucidated through microdilution in broth; the phenolic compounds were able to inhibit the visible growth of the standard bacterial strains at low concentrations. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT and genotoxicity was analysed through cellular damage using a Comet assay; the results showed that it did not present cytoxicity or genotoxicity at the corresponding concentrations. With this, we suggest that &lt;em&gt;E. hyemale&lt;/em&gt; may be an alternative for the treatment of infections by microorganisms that are resistant to synthetic drugs.&lt;/p&gt;

Scientific study to ascertain its claimed biological activity is lacking. The objective of this work was to determine the antioxidant and anticancer activity of &lt;em&gt;Paris polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; rhizomes. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Phytochemical analysis were carried out by standard methods. Antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract was carried out by DPPH, ABTS, OH-radical and Fe&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt;chelating activity assays. Cytotoxicity of the extract was determined by MTT assay on three cancer cell lines: HeLa, HepG2 and PC3. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Of the &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from two altitudinal zones, &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from Tholung (PPT), the one from the higher altitude showed higher total phenolic contents in methanolic extracts of rhizomes as compraed to that from the lower altitude i.e., &lt;em&gt;P. polyphylla&lt;/em&gt; from Uttaray (PPU). PPT also showed a higher content of total falvonoid and total flavonols. Both types of plant were excellent scavenger of DPPH and ABTS radical and Fe&lt;sup&gt;2+&lt;/sup&gt; chelator. A trend of a relatively greater antioxidant activity of PPT was established through these assay methods. In MTT assay, both the extract showed significant dose-dependent inhibition of HeLa cell growth after 72 hrs of treatment, while the extract had a moderately positive effect on the inhibition of PC3 and HepG2 cells growth.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The study suggested a strong antioxidant activity and appreciable cytotoxic activity of&lt;em&gt; P. polyphylla &lt;/em&gt;from Sikkim Himalaya. Of the two varieties, PPT was more pronounced in both type of activities.&lt;/p&gt;

This study evaluates the antiproliferative activity of &lt;em&gt;Acanthophora spicifera&lt;/em&gt; collected from Indonesian extracted with different solvents of ethanol and methanol. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Cytotoxicity and antiproliferative activity of &lt;em&gt;A. spicifera&lt;/em&gt; crude ethanol extract (AS-EtOH) and &lt;em&gt;A. spicifera&lt;/em&gt; crude methanol extract (AM-MetOH) were evaluated with Lactate dehidrogenase (LDH) and Trypan blue exclusion assay in Human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells for 72h. Concentration of extracts treated in HeLa cells were 6.25 to 200 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;g/mL. Viability staining with fluorescence stain Hoechst33342/PI was conducted to investigate apoptotic activity. Potential apoptotic activity of treatments was confirmed by DNA fragmentation assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; AS-MetOH demonstrated high cytotoxicity in HeLa cells with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; of 127.3 ± 33.13 &lt;em&gt;μ&lt;/em&gt;g/mL. However, AS-EtOH IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values could not be determined in this study. Antiproliferative activity was highly significant in AS-MetOH treated cells as cell density was suppressed to 20 x 10&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; cells/mL compared to AS-EtOH (73 x 10&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; cells/mL) and untreated cells (83 x 10&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; cells/mL). Finally, apoptotic activity could be determined in AS-MetOH treated cells with increase PI fluorescence emitting cells and DNA fragmentation. On the other hand, apoptotic activity was not observable in AS-EtOH treated cells based on fluorescence viability staining and DNA fragmentation assay. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Current results show methanol solvent as an effective solvent to promote potential pharmaceutical properties of macroalgae &lt;em&gt;A. spicifera. &lt;/em&gt;Further advanced studies in a compound level from&lt;em&gt; A. spicifera&lt;/em&gt; methanol fraction would be reasonable for development of macroalgae based anticancer agent.&lt;/p&gt;

Even with the rapid developments in the medical sciences, there are no proper medicines to cure specific kind of cancer without side effects. The inhibition of tumour cell growth without side effects either by the use herbal or synthetic drugs is considered as an important target in cancer therapy. In traditional medicinal system &lt;em&gt;A. semecarpifolia&lt;/em&gt; stem bark is the prime source of herbal drug to treat lymphatic and skin cancers. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anticancer potential of &lt;em&gt;A. semecarpifolia&lt;/em&gt; stem bark extracts against some cancer cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; anticancer activity was evaluated against DLA, EAC, HeLa, HepG2 and L929 cell lines by trypan blue dye exclusion assay and SRB assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The results of the anticancer activity revealed that, when compared to standard drug Cyclophosphamide, SBPEE and SBCE of A. semecarpifolia showed significant anticancer activity against DLA and EAC cell lines, without causing any toxicity to the normal mouse fibroblast cells L929. Whereas, none of the three extracts showed cytotoxicity against HeLa, HepG2 and L929 cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The present study suggested that, SBPEE and SBCE possesses significant cytotoxic activity against DLA and EAC cell lines, which confirms the traditional medicinal claim of &lt;em&gt;A. semecarpifolia&lt;/em&gt; as a potent anticancer plant against lymphatic and skin cancer.&lt;/p&gt;

Sea cucumber is a marine invertebrate that contains attractive bioactive secondary metabolites and these metabolites can be used for health as well as cosmetics. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of the study was to determine the activity of tyrosinase inhibitors, antioxidants, and cytotoxicity of sea cucumber methanolic extract. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Dried sea cucumber samples were taken from Boalemo waters, Tomini Bay, Indonesia. Tyrosinase inhibitor assay was carried out spectrophotometrically using tyrosinase enzymes and L-DOPA as a substrate and antioxidant tests were carried out by DPPH method. Cytotoxicity test against human breast cancer cell line (T47D) was conducted using the MTT assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study showed that &lt;em&gt;Bohadschia vitiensis&lt;/em&gt; had the best tyrosinase inhibitor activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 0.28 mg/ml. The DPPH free radical scavenging testing showed that all sea cucumbers had weak antioxidant activity. On the other hand, cytotoxicity assay revealed that several sea cucumbers had good cytotoxicity against T47D cells, where &lt;em&gt;Holothuria atra&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Bohadschia marmorata &lt;/em&gt;showed strong cytotoxicities with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 23.0 and 28.1 ug/mL, respectively. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Based on the study, it can be concluded that the dried sea cucumber from the Tomini bay region, Indonesia, has the potential to be developed as a source of tyrosinase inhibitors and cytotoxic agents.&lt;/p&gt;

It has been traditionally used to treat infections and other Physiological disorders for several hundreds. We investigated the anti-leukemic potential of Andrographolide (AGP) isolated from the leaves of this plant against an array of cancer cells to investigate its most efficacies in a particular cancer type. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; AGP was isolated from &lt;em&gt;Andrographis paniculata&lt;/em&gt; leaves by using column chromatography. The structure was further determined by LC-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. AGP was initially tested against four different cancer cell lines, namely NALM-6 (pre B-ALL), K562 (CML), A549 (lung carcinoma) and MCF-7 (breast carcinoma) using MTT assay at different time points and different concentrations. The effect of the isolated biomolecule was also investigated in inducing apoptosis through the study of cell cycle progression using flow cytometry by PI staining and nuclear fragmentation pattern by DAPI staining and fluorescence microscopy.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; the spectral analysis of the isolated bio-molecule assured that the compound was AGP. MTT assay data indicated that AGP was most potent to induce cytotoxicity in NALM-6 cells. Further investigation revealed that it effectively induced apoptosis by arresting cell cycle progression and increased the nuclear break down in NALM- 6 leukemic cells. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Our study efficiently demonstrated that the AGP isolated from &lt;em&gt;Andrographis paniculata&lt;/em&gt; induced apoptosis in NALM-6 cells, which could be used in the therapeutic intervention of leukemia in the future.&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%">210                         </style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swadesh Sarkar&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Priya K Gopal&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Santanu Paul&lt;sup&gt;2* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The determination of antibacterial activity was performed by well agar diffusion method against &lt;em&gt;Staphylococcus aureus&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Escherichia coli&lt;/em&gt; while the cytotoxic activity was determined by MTT methods on human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) and human colon colorectal carcinoma (HCT-116), followed by determination of the apoptosis mechanism by Annexin V-FTIC assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp showed strong inhibition against S.aureus and E.coli with the diameter of inhibition of 14.21 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm and 14.36 &amp;plusmn; 0.92 mm, and 10.01 &amp;plusmn; 2.65 mm and 12.07 &amp;plusmn; 1.54 mm, respectively. Moreover, they also exhibited potent cytotoxicity on HCT-116 with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; values of 0.002 and 8.518 &amp;mu;g/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, on MCF-7, only M. sarasinorum showed moderate inhibition with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 87.35 &amp;mu;g/mL. Annexin V-FTIC assay clearly showed that the cytotoxic mechanism of &lt;em&gt;M. sarasinorum and Axinella&lt;/em&gt; sp on HCT-116 and MCF-7 was via apoptosis induction. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The sponges of &lt;em&gt;M.

Unfortunately, the cytotoxicity properties of most chemotherapy drug are nonspecific and therefore do not distinguish between normal healthy cells and tumor cells, these events have led to inappropriate and toxic therapeutic agents with a wide range of side effects. However, several experimental and epidemiological studies have suggested that fruits and vegetables are associated with low risk of various types of cancer. Anthocyanins are natural pigments that provide intense purple to red color in plants. Anthocyanin possess the ability to inhibit oxidative stress and to induce apoptosis in malignant cells, thus may prevent carcinogenesis. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Antiproliferative properties of purified anthocyanin extract from elicited cell suspension cultures of &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; was investigated in terms of MTT assay. Anthocyanin extracts were tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of HT29 (colon cancer cells), MG63 (Osteosarcoma), HeLa (Cervical cancer cells) and L929 (Mouse Fibroblast L929) cell lines. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Cell viability decreased in a dose dependent manner in all the considered cell lines treated with anthocyanin extracts. The extract of &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against all tumor cell lines than &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; extract. &lt;em&gt;Begonia malabarica&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Begonia rex-cultorum&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lsquo;Baby rainbow&amp;rsquo; anthocyanin extract exhibited the highest cytotoxicity towards HT29 and HeLa cell lines respectively. But, MG63 resulted in comparatively higher percentage of viability of cell lines at the same concentrations. The anthocyanin extract produced significant morphological alterations on cell lines in culture. Meanwhile, the extracts showed poor cytotoxicity against the normal cell line. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The morphological alteration of the treated cancer cells presented clear evidence of significant cytotoxicity of anthocyanin extracts of both Begonias in all the three cell lines. Thus, anthocyanin may act as chemopreventive agents for various cancer cell lines.&lt;/p&gt;

The toxicity of sample toward the cells are measured by trypan blue cell counting method. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Our results showed that &lt;em&gt;P. debilis&lt;/em&gt; had the lowest IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; concentration in MCF-7 cells and the highest IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; concentration in MCF-10A cells and its therapeutic index was higher than that found in &lt;em&gt;P. niruri&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. urinaria&lt;/em&gt;. The high therapeutic index of P. debilis suggests that this species has greater selective cytotoxicity in MCF-7 cancer cells than in MCF-10A normal cells. Thus, the methanolic extract of&lt;em&gt; P. debilis&lt;/em&gt; should be further characterised and developed for future use as an anti-cancer agent.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6s</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">s30</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wan Adnan Wan Omar*, Siti Nur Dalila Mohd Zain &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Chemically, it is a diterpenoid triepoxide molecule and its chemical formula is C&lt;sub&gt;20&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;24&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;6&lt;/sub&gt;. Its five-membered unsaturated lactone ring (D-ring) is crucial for anti-tumor potential and carbonyl group at C-18 position is essential to exert important influence on the interaction between triptolide and the targeted protein(s). It is bio-synthesized from deoxy-D-xylullose-5-phosphate (DOXP) pathway in the cell. Triptolide can induce apoptosis in a number of breast cancer cells by up-regulating different pro-apoptotic and down-regulating different anti-apoptotic molecules. &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; experiments indicate that it can down regulate several cell cycle related genes and induces S-phase cell cycle arrest. Triptolide treatment can also modulate the expression of different cell signaling molecules, e.g. ERK, NF-&amp;kappa;B, FAK, VEGF, &amp;beta;-catenin, AKT etc. &lt;em&gt;In vivo&lt;/em&gt; experiments indicate that triptolide can effectively reduce breast tumor growth in the mouse model. Apart from the single drug treatment, triptolide can effectively be applied in combination therapy. Application of Triptolide with other chemotherapeutic drugs, very efficiently check the proliferation of tumor cells which reduces the effective concentration of the commercially available drugs thus reducing their toxic sideeffects. Although triptolide is very effective against a number of diseases, its higher degree of multi-organ toxicity limits its use of further clinical trial. Therefore, to reduce the toxic effects, a number of strategies have been developed which increase its water solubility and at the same time decrease the toxic effect. In this review article, we have addressed how triptolide participates in the antitumor processes in breast cancer cells.&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%">838</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Swadesh Sarkar&lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Santanu Paul&lt;sup&gt;2* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The broad spectrum of beneficial effects of the seeds perceived with this plant warrants further exploration of &lt;em&gt;B. juncea&lt;/em&gt; seeds as a potential source for obtaining pharmacologically standardized phytotherapeutics, which could be potentially useful. The objective of the present study was to perform the pharmacognosy of mustards seeds inclusive of qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis, fingerprinting by infrared spectroscopy and high performance thin layer chromatography analysis and toxicity assessment &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Different sections of seeds were taken and stained with 0.1% phloroglucinol for microscopic examination. The seeds were extracted by 80% alcohol on a rotary shaker to perform phytochemical analysis and fingerprinting. The toxicity assessment of this extract was performed on human dermal fibroblast cells. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Microscopic examination of seeds showed characteristic features of mustard seeds. The extraction of these seeds by 20% alcohol resulted in IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 103 &amp;plusmn; 3 &amp;mu;g/mL for 2,2-diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazyl radical scavenging assay. The fingerprinting analysis of this extract indicated probable presence of sinigrin, quercetin, vanillin, catechin, vitamin E and sulfur-containing compounds. This extract exhibited 50% toxicity (IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt;) at 1.79 mg/mL. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The result achieved will be used to assess the therapeutic efficacy of seed extracts for future pharmacological evaluations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Antioxidant, cytotoxicity, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high performance thin layer chromatography, microscopy, phenolics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</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;Harita Parikh, Aparna Khanna&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Department of Biological Sciences, School of Science, NMIMS University, Vile Parle (West), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snehal Suryavanshi,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anand Zanwar,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mahabaleshwar Hegde,</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruchika Kaul-Ghanekar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Standardization of a polyherbal formulation (HC9) and comparative analysis of its cytotoxic activity with the individual herbs present in the composition in breast cancer cell lines</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacognosy Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytotoxicity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HPTLC</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physicochemical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytochemical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">polyherbal formulation HC9</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">standardization</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18th Feb,2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-95</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study aims to standardize a polyherbal formulation (HC9) that was previously shown to exhibit excellent antioxidant and cytotoxic activity in breast cancer cells. Here, we have compared the cytotoxic activity of HC9 with its individual components in breast cancer and non-cancerous cells. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Physico-chemical and phytochemical evaluation of HC9 was performed. Qualitative and quantitative HPTLC analysis of component herbs and HC9 was done by using specific markers. The cytotoxic activity of HC9 with its individual components was evaluated in breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA MB-231) and non-cancerous cell lines (HEK-293, HaCaT and MCF-10A) by MTT dye uptake.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Physico-chemical results revealed that HC9 contained 7.24% total ash content, 9.52% of alcohol-soluble extractive, 0.801 specific gravity, 0.50g/ml bulk density and exhibited 7.18% loss on drying. Phytochemical results revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, flavanoids, saponins, tannins and phenolic compounds, and absence of terpenoids. The individual herbs of HC9 and the formulation showed the presence of marker compounds such as picroside-I, nootkatone, 6-gingerol, matairesinol, swertiamarin, berberine, connesine and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde. At 160&amp;mu;g/ml concentration, HC9 exhibited cytotoxicity in both MCF7 and MDA MB231 with no cytotoxicity in MCF-10A, HaCaT and HEK-293. In contrast, at this concentration, the individual herbs of HC9 exhibited cytotoxicity not only in cancerous cells, but also in non-cancerous cells.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; These results suggest that the standardized HC9 formulation was safe to non-cancerous cells and exhibited significant antineoplastic potential in breast cancer cells. Thus, HC9 could be a potential drug candidate in breast cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words:&lt;/strong&gt; Cytotoxicity, HPTLC, physicochemical, polyherbal formulation HC9, phytochemical, standardization.&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%">87</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Snehal Suryavanshi, Anand Zanwar, Mahabaleshwar Hegde and Ruchika Kaul-Ghanekar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Interactive Research School for Health Affairs (IRSHA), Bharati Vidyapeeth University Medical College Campus, Dhankawadi, Pune-Satara Road, Pune-411043, India.&lt;/p&gt;</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
