Pomegranate juice has been reported to be an effective source of high amounts of phyto-constituents with many health and nutritional benefits. This work assessed the possible effect on blood pressure (B.P) and heart rate of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt; peel ethyl acetate extract (PGE) at a dosage of 400 mg / kg / day on hypertension-induced fludrocortisone Wistar rats. PGE therapy substantially lowered the B.P of hypertensive rats treated with salt fludrocortisones, but the mean blood pressure and heart rate in normotensive rats were not altered. In isolated aortic strip, the contractile reactions to noradrenalin of PGE-treated hypertensive rats have been substantially reduced. The active fraction was purified by successive chromatographic techniques resulted in isolation of quercetin and ursolic acid, this bioactive mixture induced a significant decrease in the blood pressure of hypertensive rats as compared to hypertensive control rats at a concentration of 10 mg/kg.&lt;/p&gt;

However, there is no established scientific study on antipsoriatic activity of pomegranate fruit rind. The aim of the study is to evaluate the anti-psoriatic activity of the isolated compounds and the extract from the fruit rind of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum.&lt;/em&gt; In our previous study, the isolated compounds were evaluated for antioxidant potential. In continuation to the previous investigation, the present study is taken up to evaluate the extract and compounds for &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; anti-psoriatic activity. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Chromatographic techniques were employed to isolate the compounds from the aqueous acetone extract and&lt;em&gt; in vitro &lt;/em&gt;anti-psoriatic activity was determined by thymidine phosphorylase inhibition assay. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;From previous phytochemical investigation, three compounds were identified as Punicalagin, 2,3(&lt;em&gt;S&lt;/em&gt;)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-D-glucose and Punicalin. In the present study, the extract and the compounds were evaluated for anti-psoriatic activity. The results reveal that the isolated three compounds showed inhibitory activity of 89% to 95% against thymidine phosphorylase. Aqueous acetone extract also exhibited 87% inhibition. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; is an ideal plant for further investigation to prove its anti-psoriatic activity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;: &lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; Linn. fruit (Family: Punicacea), known as Pomegranate is ethno-medicinally prescribed in various part of world for treatment of different diseases it is used as antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer and antiparasitic agent. &lt;strong&gt;Method&lt;/strong&gt;: The present study was thus undertaken to find out the necessary pharmacognostical standards for evaluating the fruit of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt;. Different assessment such as macroscopical characters, microscopical studies, physicochemical evaluations (loss on drying, moisture content by Karl Fischer titration, ash values, extractive values) and TLC/HPTLC finger print profiling were performed and the relevant quantitative and qualitative parameters were reported. &lt;em&gt;Invitro&lt;/em&gt; antioxidant activity is also performed by HPLC-DPPH method. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt;: Fruit of &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt; are Reddish brown in color, Globular and Oval, smooth, 5.0 o 12.0 cm in diameter. Powdered fruit confirmed the presence of Stone cell, Endospermic cell, Group of stone cells, Nonlignified fiber, Starch grain and Lignified fibers and vessels. TLC of the extracts was also carried out in the current study. Physicochemical standards quantified include loss on drying (36.62 ± 4.17 %), moisture content (32.15 ± 3.64 %) total ash (8.58% ± 1.06 %), water soluble ash (7.15 ± 0.97 %), acid insoluble ash (0.45 ± 0.03 %). Safety profile of plant part was recognized by quantify microbial limit test, pesticide residue and heavy metals (Cd, As, Hg and Pb) evaluation. Here is no visible microbial growths were seen in sample. Pesticide residue and heavy metals were observed to be present within the acceptable limits. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt;: Scientific investigations do not yet exist to identify the exact plant part and to determine its quality and purity. These studies provided referential information for accurate identification and standardization of this herbal material. These analyses will also be useful to distinguish &lt;em&gt;P. granatum&lt;/em&gt; from the closely associated to other species of Punica.&lt;/p&gt;

Individually these three seeds are reported to contain rich nutrients along with antioxidants, probiotic soluble fibres and thus the mixture of three increased this potential. Individual seed and the mixture was evaluated by &lt;em&gt;In- vitro&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;In-vivo&lt;/em&gt; methods for Nutraceutical Potential. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Proximate analysis of the mixture showed rich nutrient content and provided good combination of nutrients. Individual seed powder as well as mixture was tested for prebiotic potential using lactobacilli culture, which showed positive results. Each seed powder as well as mixture was tested for antioxidant potential using DPPH free radical scavenging assay, with promising results. It’s &lt;em&gt;in- vivo&lt;/em&gt; effect was studied using Wistar albino rat as animal model. This study involved haemogram and lipid profile determination which showed certain promising results. The powder mixture was developed into two products namely capsule and health drink powder formula.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The nutraceutical powder mixture of seeds of Cucumis melo, &lt;em&gt;Punica granatum&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Linum usitatissimum&lt;/em&gt; could be a promising product with antioxidant, prebiotic and nutraceutical potential for diabetic and cardiac patients where oxidative stress is a major underlying cause.&lt;/p&gt;
