    (2013-02) Kumar, Kamal; Mruthunjaya, Kenganora; Kumar, Satish; Mythreyi, Rajendran
    The aim of the study was to determine anti ulcer activity of stem bark of Careya arbore Roxb. on the Wister strain albino rats. Dried stem bark of Careya arbore Roxb. was powdered and this coarse powder was extracted with 70% ethanol by soxhlet extraction method to yield a Ethanol extract of stem bark of Careya aborea Roxb. (EECA). The extract was subjected for preliminary phytochemical analysis and was evaluated for anti ulcer activity against various models such as Ethanol induced, cold restraint stress induced and Pylorus ligation induced models. In acute toxicity study, EECA was found to be safe till 3000mg/kg. So the doses of EECA at various concentration of 300 and 600mg/kg body weight was administered orally, twice daily for 5 days for prevention of ulcer from Pylorus ligation, Ethanol and cold restraint stress - induced ulcers. Analytical parameters like Percentage of Ulcer protection was calculated based on Ulcer index and Gastric juice volume, pH and acidity of gastric juice. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of EECA showed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, tannins and saponins. The EECA has shown significant activity at both 300mg/kg and 600mg/kg dose level in a dose dependent manner. Phytoconstituents like tannins and saponins may be responsible for anti ulcer activity of EECA.

    Oroxylum indicum– a medicinal plant of North East India: An overview of its nutritional, remedial, and prophylactic properties.
    (2013-05) Deka, D C; Kumar, Vimal; Prasad, Chandan; Kumar, Kamal; Gogoi, B J; Singh, Lokendra; Srivastava, R B
    Oroxylum indicum (family: Bignoniaceae) or Broken bones tree, which is distributed throughout India and South East Asia. Oroxylum indicum is known by such regional names as Bhatghila, Tona, Bhut-vriksha, Shyonaka, and Hanyu pinyin. Over the past two decades, many reports have appeared in mainstream scientific journals describing its nutritional and medicinal properties. While much of this recent enthusiasm indeed appears to be justified, it is critical to separate rigorous scientific evidence from anecdote. The present review provides the complete information about literatures of Oroxylum indicum as botanical descriptions, vernacular names, biological activity of plant parts, ethanomedicinal uses and current status of research with scope of investigation of Oroxylum indicum for future research. The structures of twenty eight isolated compounds from different parts of Oroxylum indicum with IUPAC names, molecular formula, formula weight, melting points were also reported in this study.
