“…In a short span of time, the situation escalated rapidly, resulting in large outbreaks both in China and worldwide (Callaway et al, 2020). The global death toll due to COVID-19 has reached nearly 3.3 million, with India ranking among the top 4 countries in terms of global fatalities (Singh et al, 2023). Mild cases show the symptoms of non-pneumonia or mild pneumonia.…”

Egyptian Journal of Botany http://ejbo.journals.ekb.eg/ Review 45 S TRINGENT adherence to WHO guidelines has been maintained to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection and ensure safety. In addition, the AYUSH Ministry of India's recommendations, pertaining to the Ayurvedic approach to boosting immunity and lowering the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection, have shown to be highly effective prophylactic measures. Ayurvedic methods have played a significant role in managing COVID-19 infections and symptoms during the pandemic. Key recommendations include maintaining hydration by drinking water, using herbs and spices in food, and practicing daily yoga poses, pranayama, and meditation. Ayurvedic medications such as Sudarsana Ghana Vati, Suvarna Vasanta Malati Rasa, Amrutadi Kasaya, and so forth are commonly used. Additionally, Ayurveda offers therapeutic modalities such as Panchakarma (five purifying processes), Rasanya Chikitsa (immune-modulator therapy), and Sadvritta (good conduct) to support overall wellbeing and promote recovery from the disease. This review intends to deliver the Ayurvedic approaches, including the use of medicinal plants like Withania somnifera and Tinospora cordifolia, as well as the implementation of daily guidelines and measures in daily routines for combating COVID-19. It further highlights the present scenario, the emergence of the virus and genetic variations in its genome, and the potential therapeutic applications of Ayurvedic medicinal plants to discover the immunomodulatory effects and their impending ways of fighting and treating the infection.

This investigation column eluted fractions of leaf Adhatoda vasica of was assessed for its phytochemical screening, column chromatography, thin layer chromatographic studies, protease activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antidiabetic activity and antioxidant activity. Phytochemical screening reflects the presence of alkaloid, flavonoids, coumarins, terpenoids, steroids, emodin’s, Quinone’s. Column chromatography method was used for purification of bioactive compounds. Thin layer chromatographic study was carried out by using various solvent system of different type of polarity of n- butanol, acetic acid and acetone. TLC profiling shows pure band at 254nm and 366 nm. The strong “proteolytic activity” also pointed out in purified fraction of eluted fraction. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated using albumin denaturation fraction 3, showing highest activity 75% followed by fraction 5 (62.73%), membrane stabilization assay fraction 6 (80.23%) followed by fraction 3 (64.65%) and proteinase inhibitory activity of fraction 5(88%) followed by fraction 7 (87.68%) at concentration 500 µg/ml. Aspirin (90.87%) was used as standard drug for the study of anti-inflammatory activity. In vitro antidiabetic activity was performed using Alfa amylase inhibition assay. Highest activity was showed in fraction 4 (79.05 %) and fraction 5 (77.05 %) at concentration 500 µg/ml. Antioxidant activity was performed by reducing power assay fraction number 2 has higher absorbance 1.04 at 500µg/ml followed by reducing power of column eluted fraction was compared with ascorbic acid as standard showing higher absorbance 0.93 at 500µg/ml.
