Two trisaccharides (2 and 3) related to related to the glycone part of Phanoside, an insulin release stimulator have been synthesized in excellent yield.

Screening of Indian Plants for Biological Activity : Part I

Two hundred and eighty-five botanically identifide plant materials have been extracted with 50 percent ethanol and the extracts put through a wide biological screen of 61 tests. These include tests for antibacterial, antifungal, anthelminthic, antiprotozoal, anticancer, antifertillity, hypoglycaemic and a wide range of pharmacological activities.

Screening of Indian Plants for Biological Activity : Part V

Two hundred and eighty nine botanically identified plant materials have been tested as 50% ethanol extracts, for a wide variety of bloloalcal activities including including anticancer, chemotherapeutic and pharmaceutical activities. Biological activities been confirmed in fractions of 47 of these extracts.

Screening of Indian Plants for Biological Activity: Part VI

Biological activity has been confirmed in fractions of 40 of these extracts.

Screening of Indian Plants for Biological Activity: Part X

Two hundred eightythree botanically identified plant species have been tested as 50% ethanol extracts, for a wide variety of biological activities including antifertility, anticancer, chemotherapeutic and pharmaceutical activities. Biological activity has been observed in 143 of these extracts. The biological Activity has been confirmed in the fraction of 35 extracts and anticancer activity in the extracts of 23 plant species.

Screeningof Indian Plants for BiologicalActivity-Part XI

Alcoholic extracts of two hundred and ninety two botanically identified plant species have been tested for a wide variety of biological activities including chemotherapeutic and pharmacological activities. Biological activities have been confirmed in fractions of 46 of these extracts. Follow-up studies have been carried out in some plants with confirmed activity. The active principles and results of these studies have also been reported.
