Abstract:

Background:Withania somnifera (family solanaceae) is a well-investigated medicinal plant which is also called Indian ginseng due to its wide spectrum of medicinal properties. The contents and activity of the plant may vary depending on the habitat and part of the plant and the solvent used for extraction. The present study deals with the comparative chemical analysis and in vitro antioxidant activity of methanolic fruits extracts and its subfractions (in ethyl acetate, butanol and water) of W. somnifera collected from two different geographical locations.Methods:In the present study, Withania

Abstract:

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal is a medicinal plant belonging to the traditional Indian medical system, showing various therapeutic effects such as anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-diabetic, and hepatoprotective activity. Of great interest is W. somnifera’s potential beneficial effect against neurodegenerative diseases, since the authorized medicinal treatments can only delay disease progression and provide symptomatic relief and are not without side effects. A systematic search of PubMed and Scopus databases was performed to identify preclinical and clinical studies focusin

Abstract:

Withania somnifera belongs to the family of Solanaceae. It is widely used by the locals, especially in India, as a medicinal plant. W. somnifera is rich in alkaloid and steroidal lactone that account for various pharmacological activities. The present study aimed to review all the evidence on the ethnobotanical perspective of W. somnifera in some countries. This review also analyses the bioactive compounds that account for the pharmacological activities. The online medical literature databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar were used to search articles up to March 2022. W. s

Abstract:

Withania somnifera, commonly known as 'Indian ginseng', is a highly important and valuable medicinal plant in traditional family medicine, containing a variety of medicinal bioactive molecules for over 3,000 years. Various medicinal properties of plants are attributed to steroidal lactones (withanolides) present in plants. Its commercial cultivation is hampered by low seed viability and germination rates. Tissue culture techniques can play an important role in the preservation, clonal propagation, and qualitative improvement of this medicinal plant. In vitro shoot differentiation and microprop

Abstract:

Neurodegenerative disease refers to the progressive deterioration of neurologic function which leads to loss of speech, vision, hearing, and movement. It is also associated with seizures, eating difficulties, and memory impairment. Natural products have emerged as potential neuroprotective agents for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases due to the enormous adverse effects associated with pharmacological drugs. Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) is a traditional Ayurvedic medicine, used in India as a general tonic. It contains withanolides, and phytochemicals that may have adaptogenic prop

Abstract:

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most severe and fatal form of brain tumor, leading to a poor survival rate in patients and making a significant contribution to cancer-related deaths. The typical approaches to treating GBM involve surgical procedures followed by chemotherapy, targeting molecular pathways involving receptors like Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR, EGFRvIII) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR) to modulate various cell signaling pathways. However, the effectiveness of current GBM treatments is notably constrained. Withania somnifera (WS) (L.) Dunal, c
