Abstract:
Ocimum sanctum happens to be an aromatic shrub belonging to the basil family Lamiaceae.This herb has originated in central India and grown throughout the eastern part of the world. Ocimum sanctum is recommended as a treatment for a wide range of both infectious and non-infectious diseases. This survey was performed for assessing the awareness about antimicrobial applications of Ocimum sanctum herb. A cross-sectional study was done with a self-administered questionnaire with ten questions circulated among 100 dental students. The questionnaire assessed the awareness about Ocimum sanctum therapy in medical applications, their anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-ulcer activity. The responses were recorded and analysed.83% of the respondents were not aware of anti-microbial applications of Ocimum sanctumtherapy .74% were not aware of anti-bacterial properties of Ocimum sanctumtherapy .85% were not aware of anti-fungal properties of Ocimum sanctum therapy. 69% were not aware of the anti-viral properties of Ocimum sanctum therapy. 73% were not aware of anti-parasitic activity Ocimum sanctum therapy. 76% were not aware of anti-ulcer activity of Ocimum sanctum. The awareness about the use of Ocimum sanctum therapy in antimicrobial applications is low among dental students. Increased awareness programs and sensitization and continuing dental education programs along with greater importance to the curricular modifications, can further enhance knowledge and awareness about Ocimum sanctum therapy.

Introduction In Africa, use of phytotherapy for treatment of diabetes mellitus is a common form of practice. Considering the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases in South Africa efforts are directed at simple, cost effective, non-hazardous and efficient methods to treat cancer, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The role of phytonanotherapy is an attractive proposition for advancing new therapies. Metal nanoparticles are a possible means for delivery of such therapies. However, this requires investigation on interactions, mechanisms and therapeutic efficacy upon co-administering ethnobotanicals with metal nanoparticles and existing drug therapy in human beings. Aim The primary aim of the study was to test the in vitro antidiabetic and antibacterial activity of Ocimum sanctum (leaf extracts and flower extracts), Ocimum basilicum (leaf extracts and flower extracts), and a combination of the leaf extracts of both, and to observe whether any antidiabetic and antibacterial activity was enhanced in due to phyto-synthesised bimetallic gold-silver (Au-Ag) nanoparticles and silver nanoparticles. Methods Aqueous and ethanol extracts of O. sanctum and O. basilicum leaf and flowers alone and combined (leaf + flower) were prepared using hot vs cold water extraction techniques and 60% and 70% ethanol as polar solvents. A simple, rapid, cost effective and reproducible green chemistry method synthesised alloyed bimetallic (Au-Ag) nanoparticles using O. basilicum leaf and flower aqueous extracts and prepared silver nanoparticles (AgNps) using O. basilicum and O. sanctum leaf aqueous extracts singly and in combination (O. sanctum + O. basilicum). The size, shape and elemental analysis of the nanoparticles was carried out using UV-Visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) supported by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) identified the bio-capping agents. Antidiabetic carbohydrate metabolising enzymes, α-amylase (porcine) and Bacillus stearothermophilus α-glucosidase as models tested the in vitro inhibitory potential of the aqueous and ethanol plant extracts and the phyto-synthesised (Au-Ag) bimetallic and AgNps. In addition, the study investigated the antibacterial potential for the aqueous plant preparations and their respective phyto-synthesised bimetallic and AgNps against the bacterial species Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella species and Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to gentamycin and vancomycin. Results Bimetallic nanoparticles (synthesised from leaf and flower aqueous extracts) displayed inhibitory activity that showed uncompetitive inhibition (leaf extract), and non-competitive inhibition (flower extract) of α-amylase and competitive (leaf extract) and uncompetitive inhibition (flower extract) of α-glucosidase. Bimetallic nanoparticles were higher in inhibitory activity than acarbose and the crude O. basilicum ethanol and aqueous leaf and flower extracts. In the antibacterial analysis, bimetallic nanoparticles derived from O. basilicum leaf showed inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and were greater in activity compared to the crude aqueous leaf extract from O. basilicum. The in vitro inhibitory effect of AgNps derived from O. sanctum and AgNps derived from O. basilicum on both enzymes was higher in activity than acarbose and their respective crude extracts. However, in combination (O. sanctum + O. basilicum), the derived AgNps appeared to be a less potent inhibitor of α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme and was lower than acarbose. AgNps synthesised from the combination of O. sanctum and O. basilicum showed the highest percentage inhibition against Bacillus stearothermophilus α-glucosidase, and AgNps derived from O. sanctum and AgNps derived from O. basilicum displayed competitive type of inhibition. In the antibacterial analysis, AgNps derived from the various extracts showed zones of inhibition against the Gram negative and Gram positive bacterial test strains. However, AgNps synthesised from the O. sanctum leaf extract showed higher inhibition against Escherichia coli than the positive control gentamycin and higher inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus compared to vancomycin. In addition, AgNps from O. sanctum leaf extract displayed inhibition against Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella species, thus representing the highest antibacterial potential. Conclusion The results demonstrate the possibility of synthesis of stable silver and bimetallic nanoparticles of Ocimum sp. The synthesised silver nanoparticles and first time synthesis of bimetallic (Au-Ag) nanoparticles displayed enhanced antihyperglycaemic properties compared to their respective crude extracts and, therefore, show promising effects in lowering postprandial hyperglycaemia in diabetic patients with dual potential for antibacterial treatment. However, the antidiabetic and antibacterial effect will need to be further affirmed in a clinical context. Medicinal plants with therapeutic value may create a new platform for further research to explore the potential for herbal medicine and nanoscience as effective biomedical and industrial applications, and for improving existing drug delivery systems in diabetic patients. Investigations into the cytotoxicity of these extracts and phytosynthesised nanoparticles is recommended.

Dissertação de mestrado em Plant Molecular Biology, Biotechnology and Bioentrepreneurship
The Ocimum sanctum belongs to the Labiatae family. Commonly known for their medicinal and therapeutic potential, traditionally used to treat rheumatism, paralysis, epilepsy, colds, flu, high fever, influenza, abdominal pains, coughs and others symptomologies. O. sanctum is often described as a “Rasayana” (plant with adaptogenic properties), it is regarded in Ayurveda as a “elixir of life” and believed to promote longevity. Several investigators have reported that O. sanctum possess numerous biological activities mostly related with enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant mechanisms and the capability of maintain body homeostasis and resistance to different stress due their phenolic compounds constituents, namely rosmarinic acid. The objectives of this study were: 1) increase rosmarinic acid and phenolics production trough elicitation techniques in cell suspension cultures; 2) evaluate the in vitro antiradical properties of these extracts; 3) Incorporate the extract into a cream base and evaluate its in vitro antioxidant properties. O. sanctum cell suspension cultures were treated with several elicitors in order to increase phenolic compounds production and accumulation (mainly rosmarinic acid); phenolic quantification of cell extracts and in vivo leaf extracts were analyzed by (HPLC-DAD). O. sanctum cell suspension cultures were able to produce 93% more rosmarinic acid than in vivo plants; In vitro radical properties of the extracts were analyzed trough DPPH, iron chelating activity, inhibition of nitric oxide production and scavenging of superoxide anion. O. sanctum cell suspension cultures extracts have shown antiradical scavenging activity for the non-enzymatic assays tested in the present study displaying high potential to inhibit the nitric oxide production and superoxide anion, avoiding their interaction and preventing the formation of ONOO−; contrary to pure rosmarinic acid, cell extracts can also chelate iron ions decreasing the formation of hydroxyl groups produced by the Fenton reaction; cell suspension extracts also displayed high DPPH scavenging potential and may act as chain breaking antioxidants. After having performed tests on the antioxidant activities O. sanctum in extracts, a portion of it was included successfully in a cream base in order to evaluate the antioxidant capacities in order to determine their ability to perform next test in rats.
A espécie Ocimum sanctum pertence à família Labiatae. Conhecido pelo seu potencial medicinal e terapêutico, é tradicionalmente utilizado no tratamento do reumatismo, paralisia, epilepsia, constipações, gripe, febres altas, dores abdominais, tosse e outras sintomatologias. O. sanctum é descrita como uma “Rasayana”, isto é, uma planta com propriedades adaptogénicas, e é conhecida pela medicina tradicional Ayurveda como sendo o “elixir da vida” e por aumentar a longevidade. Vários investigadores demonstraram que O. sanctum possui várias atividades biológicas, maioritariamente relacionadas com mecanismos antioxidantes enzimáticos e não enzimáticos e, também, a capacidade de manter a homeostasia e a resistência do corpo a diferentes tipos de stresse devido ao conteúdo em compostos fenólicos, em particular o ácido rosmarínico. Assim, este estudo teve como principais objetivos: 1) o aumento da produção de ácido rosmarínico e compostos fenólicos bioactivos através da eliciação de culturas celulares em suspensão de O. sanctum; 2) a determinação in vitro das propriedades antiradicalares dos extratos respetivos; e, 3) a incorporação dos extratos num creme e avaliação in vitro das suas propriedades antiradicalares. Culturas celulares em suspensão de O. sanctum foram tratadas com vários eliciadores de forma a aumentar a produção e acumulação de compostos fenólicos, nomeadamente ácido rosmarínico. O conteúdo em compostos fenólicos dos extratos celulares e dos extratos de folhas in vivo foi determinado por HPLC-DAD. As culturas celulares em suspensão de O. sanctum demostraram uma produção de ácido rosmarínico 93% superior à das plantas in vivo. As propriedades antioxidantes dos extratos das culturas celulares de O. sanctum foram avaliadas através do método DPPH, atividade quelante do ferro, inibição da produção de óxido nítrico e remoção do anião superóxido. Os extratos das culturas celulares de O. sanctum demonstraram elevada atividade antioxidante, mostrando um elevado potencial na inibição da produção de óxido nítrico e de superóxido evitando, desta forma, a interação destes e prevenindo a formação de ONOO−. Contrariamente ao ácido rosmarínico puro, os extratos celulares têm também a capacidade de quelar iões de ferro diminuindo a formação de grupos hidroxilo produzidos na reação de Fenton. Estes extratos demonstram, ainda, um elevado potencial de scavenging de DPPH, podendo atuar como antioxidantes devido ao alto conteúdo em compostos fenólicos. Depois de ter realizado testes sobre as actividades antioxidades dos extractos de O. sanctum, uma porção dele foi incluído com sucesso numa base de creme, com objetivo avaliar as capacidades antioxidantes do creme obtido para executar próximo teste em ratos.

Abstract:
With cancer being a wide spread threat to humanity, plants have an important role in cancer prevention and in therapy. Medicinal plants provide new active chemo-preventive molecules. It is suspected that Ocimum sanctum would be a potent weapon discovered so far in fighting against all kinds of Cancer. There are many HDAC inhibtiors, but they are toxic in nature, this study aim at finding a phytochemical which is less toxic to human. For this ethanolic and methanolic extract of Tulsi leaves and inflorescence were detected to check whether they contain any components that can inactivate HDAC and can activate tumor suppressor genes. Further the anti- proliferative and anti-apoptoic effect of ethanolic and methanolic extract is studied. The role of theses extracts on the expression of tumor suppressor gene (Maspin), transcriptional factor (Snail), and epigenetic modulator (HDAC1, HDAC2) is investigated along with their anti-migratory effects on cancer cells. It is very much clear from the current investigation that the tulsi leaf and inflorescence extracts have the anti-cancer potential. This anti-cancer potential is due to the combinatorial effect of anti-proliferative, apoptotic and anti-migratory effect of the tulsi extracts. It is demonstrated from our experiments that the EETL exert more anti-cancer effect on breast cancer cells than METL and EETI. This investigation also demonstrates the higher efficacy of EENL in restoring the expression of maspin with concurrent enhancement of HDAC-1 and HDAC-2 mRNA levels, and reduced expression of snail. This reflects the HDAC inhibitory activity of tulsi extract.
