Trianthema portulacastrum is a dietary and medicinal plant that has gained substantial importance due to its pharmacological properties. This plant was used for its various healing properties since the ancient period in ayurvedic system of medicine. The green synthesis technique is an eco-friendly as well as cost effective technique which can produce more biocompatible nanoparticles when compared with those fabricated by physio-chemical methods. Therefore, nanoparticles produced by green synthesis are credible alternatives to those which are produced by conventional synthesis techniques. This research mainly aims to produce nanoparticles with the methanolic leaf extract of T. portulacastrum. The optimized nanoparticles were further analyzed for anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties. Disk diffusion assay was used for the determination of the antimicrobial property and on the other hand, DPPH radical scavenging assay as well as hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity proved the antioxidant property of the formulation. The study revealed that Escherichia coli (gram negative strain) shows greater zone of inhibition when compared with Bacillus subtilis (gram positive bacteria). The nanoparticles have also been reported to show significant anti-fungal activity against the strains of Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum which proves its desirability for its further use against both bacterial as well as fungal infections. The novel formulation can be explored dually as antimicrobial and antioxidant agent.

Cyperus rotundus (Linn.) is a versatile plant belonging to the family Cyperaceae, used in herbal medicines worldwide to cure various human ailments. The present study attempts to analyze the profiles of flavonoids in different extracts of C. rotundus with the help of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) fingerprint. Flower and stem extracts of C. rotundus were screens out with the help of TLC, and the Rf values were determined. HPTLC was used to quantify the flavonoid from flower extract of a plant at a 1.0 mg/mL concentration. It revealed the occurrence of flavonoids, especially quercetin in the ethanolic extract of C. rotundus flower, by using mobile phase toluene-ethyl acetate-formic acid (3:4:2.5 v/v), on a pre-coated plate of silica gel and quantified the amount of quercetin by densitometry absorbance mode at 257 nm. The limits of detection and quantification were 30.08 & 91.16 ng/mL, and the relative standard deviation ranged between 1.03 to 1.48 for intra-day and inter-day for HPTLC. The calibration range was 200-700 ng per band (r2 = 0.99321). Quercetin quantity in the ethanolic extract of the flower was found to be 0.011 mg/mL of the extract with an average recovery of 99.01–100.00%. Such fingerprinting is valuable in quality control and checking adulterants of natural drugs. Therefore, it can be helpful for the assessment of different marketable pharmaceuticals preparations.

Trianthema portulacastrum L. ( Biskhapra/ Horse purslane) is widely found in tropical and sub-tropical countries of the world. This weed automatically spread in cultivated fields. From the ancient time it is used for curative purposes. The plant pertains wide range of applicability and henceforth used as an Ayurvedic herb. The decoction of this herb utilized as a vermifuge, antidote prepared from that helps in treating alcohol poisoning and leaves cure the wound. In the era of phytomedicines lot of work has been done related to its morphology, ethno-pharmacology, medicinal uses, phyto-chemistry and pharmacological properties. Various pharmacological properties like antimicrobial properties, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperglycemic, hepato-protective activity makes this plant very renowned amongst researchers as they utilized it somewhat like a panacea. Different parts of plants are utilized for the therapeutic purposes and extract prepared in different solvents used in the treatment of various disorders. In this review, an attempt has been made to provide all inclusive information of this plant about its bioactive compounds and their pharmacologoical importance.

Medicinal plants have been used as chief antidotes for the cure of numerous diseases since time immemorial. To investigate the quality assurance and authentication of medicinal plants, pharmacognostical, physicochemical and preliminary phytochemical studies of the different parts (root, stem and flower) of Cyperus rotundus were carried out. Present study deals with WHO (World Health Organization) recommended methods, fluorescence, phytochemical characteristics for standardization of plant parts by using a soxhlet apparatus in order of increase polarity. The extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard procedures. Phytochemical investigation led to the revelation of the presence of enormous kinds of primary and secondary metabolite’s as protein, carbohydrate, phenole, flavonoid, alkaloid, terpenoid, and saponin, etc., in trace, moderate and high amount in various extracts of different parts of experimental plant. It was concluded that the plant is rich in phytochemicals with significant pharmacological applications that may supply drugs for modern medicines and can be valuable for the therapeutic index. Information obtained from these studies help in determining the antioxidant capacity and contributes to the predominant group of bioactive components which can be used as markers in the identification and standardization of this plant as a herbal remedy.
