Bhallatak (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) has been used for medicinal and non-medicinal purposes since ancient times. The toxicity of bhallatak precludes its mega scale production particularly as a medicine at the industrial level. However, traditional healers and physicians of Indian Systems of Medicine continue to use bhallatak in various forms in...
Preservation or curing of hides and skins is performed as the primary step of leather processing. Common salt is employed as the conventional agent for curing purpose. Use of salt enhances the pollution load of tannery effluent which becomes highly contaminated with increased total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and chlorides (Cl). To overcome this hurdle,...

Objective: Fruits and fixed oil of Semecarpus anacardium Linn. are used to treat various ailments in different Indian System of Medicine including Ayurveda. Despite having a wide array of therapeutic activities, it is also known for toxicity. Hence, there is a need to prepare a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form to reduce its toxicity, enhance bio-availability, and explore the use of S. anacardium Linn. as a potent drug. In this study, an attempt has been made to prepare self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) for oral delivery of fixed oil. Materials and Methods: Various oils, surfactants and co-surfactants were investigated to prepare a stable SNEDDS of S. anacardium Linn. Emulsification time, droplet size and zeta potential, and dissolution studies were carried out to choose the best SNEDDS formulation. Stability studies of developed SNEDDS were carried out at 5°C, 25°C, and 40°C, respectively. Results and Discussions: Based on the emulsification time, droplet size and zeta potential after dispersion into aqueous phase, an optimized formulation (F19) consisting of fixed oil, Labrafil M1944CS, Tween 80, Transcutol P (10:60:30% w/w) were prepared. The dissolution profile of fixed oil of S. anacardium Linn. loaded SNEDDS in various medium showed that 100% of fixed oil released within 10 min irrespective of the pH of the dissolution medium. The prepared SNEDDS was found stable for 3 months. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the poorly soluble fixed oil of S. anacardium Linn. can be successfully loaded in SNEDDS formulation.
Plants produce a vast range of biochemicals that are beneficial to humans. Food, colours, scents, agricultural chemicals and medications are all examples of their use. Traditional medicine is used by around 40–90% of people in underdeveloped nations, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Plant, animal and mineral origin medicine are used in Unani system of medicine. Root, stem, bark, leaf, flower, seed, fruit, gum, resin and extract are all examples of plant-derived drugs. Individual medications and their compounds have been documented for their therapeutic powers in both traditional and scientific literature. It is critical to be aware of dangerous plants that, when administered in the correct, prescribed dose can be effective therapeutic agents. Poisoning can occur by touch, which causes skin irritation, or through ingestion, which causes internal poisoning and absorption. Plant intoxication is a topic that has sparked a lot of discussion in the literature, both in terms of human and animal poisoning. The strength of secondary metabolites, the amount consumed, the time of exposure, individual body chemistry, climate and soil and genetic differences within the species have all been shown to influence the toxicity of a given plant. Depending on the precise components and metabolites that they contain, different herbs can have a variety of impacts on human organ systems. Gastroenteritis, hepatotoxicity, peripheral neuropathy, psychosis, rhabdomyolysis and blood count abnormalities are all possible side effects, as are cardiotoxicity and multisystem organ failure. The use of poisonous plants as medicine, such as Semiecarpus anacardium L., Abrus precatorius, Ricinus communis, Strychnos nuxomica etc., as a single medicament or in combination, has been widely employed in Unani medicine to treat a variety of diseases . The majority of the medicines used are thought to be safe, but some drugs may include toxins and generate negative effects ; therefore, it is critical to eliminate toxins or decrease their harmful effects before to use in order to maximize therapeutic value and make use easier. For poisonous plant materials, many techniques of purification/detoxification have been outlined, with the recommendation that they be used after being subjected to particular Tadbeer (detoxification/purification). Otherwise, these medications risk destroying the body’s physiological functions. The medications become physically and chemically pure after the purifying process, making them more therapeutically effective and less harmful. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the toxicity, chemical ingredients, detoxification methods and pharmacological features of hazardous medicinal plants employed in the Unani system of medicine.KeywordsPoisonous medicinal plantsPhytochemicalUnani medicineToxic plants
The study's main objective is to assess whether Seme carpus anacardium seeds may enhance wistar rats' memory. Materials and Techniques Utilizing the Morris water test and a raised in addition to labyrinth contraption to gauge a property called move dormancy, the seeds of Seme carpus anacardium were separated utilizing a consecutive dissolvable extraction strategy. As a result, transfer latency was reduced dose dependently when using Seme carpus anacardium seeds extract in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Its viability against neurodegeneration and backing for its nootropic characteristics were shown by the reduction in move idleness, which was portion subordinate.
Majority of the population in developing countries depends on the herbal medicine for their primary health care. Due to this increasing trend towards the use of alternative system of medicine, herbal medicine resource in this world is under enormous pressure. Importance of herbal medicine has been realized and well documented by researchers since ancient period. Several researchers, institutions, organizations, universities, pharmaceutical industries across the world have been engaged in research and documentation of various aspects of these herbal medicines to frame a strategy for their conservation and sustainable utilization. In this way exploitation of the potentials of herbal medicines based on the different healthcare systems as well as evaluation of the rich heritage is needed. The immediate focus on conservation and sustainable use of herbal medicine will be required. Numerous research and review papers on each herbal medicines covering broad subject areas which includes, Botany, Taxonomy, Drug Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology, etc. are available. But, the comprehensive document on particular information of herbal medicine is not available on the internet. Hence, in the present review article we have made an attempt to avail alphabetical list of 125 websites on different aspects of herbal medicines that includes databases (21), virtual gardens (06), glossaries (03), illustrations (12), legal information (03), adverse effects (04), journals (24) and others (52). These websites would provides a deep insight on herb taxonomical nomenclature, synonyms, vernacular names, chemical constituents, occurrence and distribution, biological and pharmacological activities, interactions, mechanisms of action, traditional uses, ecology, photo galleries and supporting data underlying the use of herb for health.
