Leptadenia hastata (Pers) Decne. of Apocynaceae family is an African plant which is used as nutriment as well as for medical purposes due to its health promoting properties.Traditional healers use L. hastata to treat many diseases as hypertension, sexual impotence, trypanosomosis, acute rhinopharyngitis.In quantitative and qualitative terms, the leaves of L. hastata contain significant quantities of secondary metabolites, as triterpenes, total flavonoids, tanins, which can be important in biomedical research.In vivo studies showed the antifertility effect of L. hastata leaves extracts which can be useful for hormonal therapy replacement.Herein, the ecology, traditional medicinal uses, phytochemistry, toxicity and pharmacology of L. hastata in consideration of its antifertility activity is reviewed.In view of its constituents such as steroidal glycosides, triterpenes and polyoxypregnane derivatives, further investigation on the effect of L. hastata on other hormonal endpoints like hormone dependent cancers appears promising.

Background and Objective: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the major leading cause of death worldwide according to WHO 2011.The aim of drug utilization research in Coronary artery disease was to facilitate the rational use of drugs in a specialized group of populations.The main objective of the study was to analyze the current trend of prescribing patterns of the drugs used in the management of Acute Coronary Syndrome at study site.Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted for a period of 6 months in the Department of Medicine from Shri B. M. Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Center.A total of 120 patients were selected for the study.Patient case files (including patientʼs specific information, drug therapy and laboratory investigations) were used to extract the necessary data.The percentages of data were calculated with the help of regular Microsoft excel 2007 sheet and the Sample size was calculated using the formula.Risk factors contributing to the development of Acute Coronary Syndrome were analyzed and various clinical pharmacy services were provided as a part of the study.Results: Out of the 120 patients enrolled in the study majority were male (81) and were found in the age group of 60-69 years.Smoking constituted the dominant risk factor followed by hypertension.Drug Related Problems (DRPs) found to be equally prevalent among all the age groups and were equally distributed among both the genders.Cessation of drug 28 (23%) and change in dose 17 (14%) were the interventions most frequently provided.The treatment received by the patients was in partial accordance with the ACC/AHA guidelines which was used as a comparative standard for the study.The study also unveiled the scope for the modification of this partial status to whole with the active participation of clinical pharmacists at the bed side.Drug utilization pattern among ACS patients were examined with the help of WHO prescribing indicators.Conclusion: The results were not optimal in accordance with the standard values of WHO prescribing indicators which suggest the necessity of modifying the hospital drug formulary and also to create awareness among physicians about rational drug use.On the whole, this study highlights the need of appropriate and timely interventions by the clinical pharmacist for the improvement of drug use, the patientʼs quality of life and to minimize DRP's.

Renal calculi are crystalline structures of calcium oxalate with associated risk factors like dehydration, high fat diet, animal protein, high salt intake and obesity.Crystals form in the distal tubule, nephron loop and/or collecting tubule have symptoms of severe pain and renal colic.Nephrolithiasis is a global problem affecting all geographical regions.This study compiles the epidemiology of renal calculi focusing on prevalence, occurrence and re-occurrence rate in global perspective.Literature of nephrolithiasis prevalence has been reviewed for Europe, Canada, American, East Asia, Gulf region, Japan, China and different parts of India.Etiology of nephrolithiasis was reviewed in detail for types, factors, symptoms, promoters and inhibitors.Renal calculi induction and progression mechanism was discussed with pathophysiology involved.Water and Food are directly related to occurrence of renal calculi, as a major concern correlation has been discussed.Depending on the type of renal stone, food which are to be avoided and preventive actions were discussed.Concise information was provided on the different experimental models of nephrolithiasis induction in animals.Understanding the pathophysiology of this disorder is necessary for the development of new therapeutic options and treatment.Nephrolithiasis is associated with chronic kidney dysfunction, bone loss and fractures, increased risk of coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus etc. and understanding the pathophysiology is necessary to develop highly effective drugs.

Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation can cause increase in sympathetic activity and simpatoadrenal reflex, associated with increased blood pressure and heart rate.The objective of this study was to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg kgG 1 b.wt., and fentanyl 2 µg kgG 1 b.wt., to propofol induction dose requirement and hemodynamic response due to laryngoscopy and endotrakheal intubation.Materials and Methods: Randomized, single-blind controlled study, involving 48 patients with ASA physical status I and II planned for elective surgery with general anesthesia in DR (Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital).Subjects are divided into two groups and each group is given dexmedetomidine (D) 0.75 µg kgG 1 b.wt.or fentanyl (F) 2 µg kgG 1 b.wt.intravenously before induction of propofol (50 mg kgG 1 hG 1 ) until the BIS reached 48±2, continued administration of atracurium 0.5 mg kgG 1 and maintenance with 1.0 vol% isoflurane in oxygen 60%.Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and heart rate are recorded at 1, 3 and 5 min after intubation as well as side effects.Results: Induction dose requirement in D group was less than the F group (p<0.05).In the 1st min, there is a 16.32% increase in average MAP and 18.88% in mean heart rate in F group, whereas a 2.90% increase in average MAP and 3.37% decrease of average heart rate was observed in D group.In the 3rd and 5th min, both groups were able to prevent increase in blood pressure but the F group has not been able to prevent an increase in average heart rate at the 3rd min (3.99% increase).The incidence of hypertension and tachycardia were significantly different (p<0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion: Induction dose requirement in dexmedetomidine group is less than the fentanyl group (p<0.05).Hemodynamic response on dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg kgG 1 b.wt., is more stable than fentanyl 2 µg kgG 1 b.wt., at 1st min after intubation but at 3rd and 5th min after intubation both groups can maintain stable hemodynamic response with a lower mean heart rate achieved by dexmedetomidine.

Background and Objective: Phytochemical constituents of herbal extracts has shown positive response of antioxidant activity.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity of polyphenolic flavonoids in the ethanolic extract of stem of Nicotiana tabacum.Materials and Methods: Flavonoids contents were determined by both thin layer chromatography and aluminium chloride colorimetric method, where as phenolic content was determine by Folin-Ciocalteau method.Antioxidant activity was observed by determining the electron transfer (DPPH free radical scavenging), enzymatic biochemical assay (SOD and GST activity) and nonenzymatic biochemical assay (GSH content and lipid peroxidation).Results: Flavonoid and phenolic content were found to be present in the ethanolic extract i.e., 12.5±0.1322mg QE gG 1 of extract and 1133.25±0.02mg QE gG 1 of extract, respectively.It was found from the present study that 0.4 mg mLG 1 of ethanolic extract has shown highest level of SOD, GST, GSH and MDA content.The HPLC analysis of ethanolic extract has also revealed the presence of flavonoids in them as compared to standard quercetin.Conclusion: This can be concluded from the present study that ethanolic extract of stem of Nicotiana tabacum has shown the presence of polphenolic flavonoids and antioxidant level can be utilized as traditional herbal remedy.
