Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of extracts of Carum carvi as bioenhancers, either alone or in combination with piperine or Zinzeber officinale extract to improve the bioavailability of a wide variety of drugs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anticancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma of an extract and fraction isolated from flowers of Butea monosperma. Particularly, this invention relates to anticancer activity against hepatocellular carcinoma of a composition containing markered flavonoid glycosides such as butrin and isobutrin in the range of 2 to 9% by weight, isolated from the flowers of Butea monosperma by extracting the flowers with polar solvent like ethanol, methanol, aqueous ethanol or water, removing fatty non-polar constituents by triturating the extract with solvents such as ethylene chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform or ethyl acetate, suspending the residue in water, extracting with n-butanol and freeze drying the aqueous part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of extracts of Carum carvi as bioenhancers, either alone or in combination with piperine or Zinzeber officinale extract to improve the bioavailability of a wide variety of drugs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioenhancing/bioavailability-facilitating composition comprising: an effective amount of an extract and/or at least one bioactive fraction from Cuminum cyminum; one or more additive selected from drugs, nutrients, vitamins, nutraceuticals, herbal drugs/products, micro nutrients, antioxidants along with pharmaceuticaly acceptable additives/excipient, and optionally, an effective amount of piperine or extract/fraction of piper nigrum or piper longum; and a process for the preparation of such extracts and active fractions from plant Cuminum cyminum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of extracts of Carum carvi as bioenhancers, either alone or in combination with piperine or Zinzeber officinale extract to improve the bioavailability of a wide variety of drugs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble bioactive fraction obtained from the gum resin exudate of Boswellia serrata and to a process for the preparation thereof. The present invention also relates to a process for the isolation of a water soluble bioactive fraction containing a mixture of potassium and calcium salts of polysaccharides composed of units of arabinose, galactose and D-glucuronic acid, having marked anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities from the gum resin exudate of Boswellia serrata and to the use thereof in the treatment of arthritis in the form of a pharmaceutical composition containing the bioactive fraction.
