“…It is noticeable the high value of Neochloris because this strain have been widely reported as interesting for biodiesel production, 56 in addition to Nostoc which has been reported as a robust strain suitable to be produced at large scale. 64 However, Spirulina and Nostoc were some of the less productive strains. Multiplying the value of the biomass by the biomass productivity, i.e., the economic yield, is a more interesting criterion.…”

“…Several groups are actively screening microalgal isolates for high value compounds such as secondary carotenoids [12][13][14][15][16], fatty acids [17,18], polysaccharides [19,20] and other active compounds [21][22][23][24]. Except for microalgal strains that may be found in sufficient quantities and purity in nature (e.g., cyanobacterial mats), a minimum of laboratory scale up is necessary for this phase of the discovery efforts [25].…”

“…Shrimp's larvae can respond in quite a similar manner to the mammalian's carcinoma (Solis et al, 1993). Therefore, cell lines assay can be replaced by brine shrimp assay for cytotoxicity as it is easily achievable and less costly (Piccardi et al, 2000). Plant-derived biologically active compounds show toxicity towards Artemia salina.…”

C rataeva adansonii is a moderate-sized deciduous tree belonging to family Capparaceae (Ryan and Ray, 2004). It is commonly known as Varun, temple plant and sacred garlic pear. It grows well on sandy loam in arid areas. In Pakistan, it is found on the Sub-Himalayan track. Its leaves are trifoliate compound (Figure1; Hoang, 2013). The fruit is globose in shape having a 4-5cm diameter. The flowers are showy Abstract | Crataeva adansonii is a medicinal plant and many folklore uses of this plant are well known to us. Pharmacognostic studies like finding extractive values and nutritional values play a vital role in the determination of adulterated or exhausted drugs. It lays down parameters for authentication and standardization of drugs. The cytotoxic study helps in the evaluation of a drug for its toxicity, which is determined by the prevention of growth and replication. Such drugs can be used to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. During the present study ethanolic extracts of leaf and bark parts of C. adansonii were evaluated through cytotoxic activity. Brine shrimp larvae assay was conducted for this purpose. Extractive values of leaf and bark parts were estimated using n-hexane, chloroform, ethanol, methanol, water, and ether as a solvent. 10g of plant powder was dissolved in 200 ml solvent during various extract preparations Fluorescence study was conducted after treating the powder drug with different reagents including ethanol, methanol, acetic acid, n-hexane, HCl, nitric acid, carrageenan, glacial acetic acid, diethyl ether and picric acid and change in coloration was observed. Distinct fluorescence was exhibited by the drug under the normal daylight and UV-radiations of short wavelength (256nm) and long wavelength (365nm). Both the leaf and bark parts showed maximum extractive values in water (23% and 15% respectively) followed by methanol (15% and 6% respectively. The leaf part showed greater extractive values as compared to the bark. The cytotoxic study revealed that the ethanolic extract crude drugs of each part dose-dependently exhibited cytotoxic activity. At higher concentration (100-1000 µg/ml) the leaf and bark ethanolic extracts showed cytotoxicity and at lower concentration (10 µg/ml) very low cytotoxic effect was observed (Figure 4). The LC 50 values for crude leaf extract were found to be 5.34 and for that of stem bark extract, it was 7.44 ug/ml. This study manifests that the selected plant can be helpful in the preparation of novel pharmaceuticals. The pharmacognostic evaluation of this important medicinal drug will be supportive in the detection of adulteration and drug quality control.
