The present invention relates to novel antipsychotic activity in the leaf alkaloids of Formula 1 and 2 named tetrahydroalstonine, 10-methoxytetrahydroalstonine, isoreserpiline, 10-demethoxyreserpiline, 11-demethoxyreserpiline, reserpiline and ?-yohimbine. The present invention also relates to processes for obtaining antipsychotic extracts as well as for the isolation of alkaloids of formula 1 and 2 from the leaves of Rauwolfia tetraphylla.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of a virtual screening model for predicting antipsychotic activity using quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR), molecular docking, oral bioavailability, ADME and Toxicity studies. The present invention also relates to the development of QSAR model using forward stepwise method of multiple linear regression with leave-one-out validation approach. QSAR model showed activity-descriptors relationship correlating measure (r2) 0.87 (87%) and predictive accuracy of 81% (rCV2=0.81). The present invention specifically showed strong binding affinity of the untested (unknown) novel compounds against anti-psychotic targets viz., Dopamine D2 and Serotonin (5HT2A) receptors through molecular docking approach. Theoretical results were in accord with the in vitro and in vivo experimental data. The present invention further showed compliance of Lipinski's rule of five for oral bioavailability and toxicity risk assessment for all the active Yohimbine derivatives.

Abstract: A tool can automate the process of downloading from a mainframe to a local area network (LAN). A back-end tool and a front-end tool can cooperate to accomplish the downloading process. Both tools can simplify the download process, avoiding complications and common errors. A user interface can provide features for simplifying the download process. Files can be downloaded from separate sub-areas on the mainframe to respective separate sub-areas on the LAN. Download settings can be saved and later retrieved via a name. Downloading for multiple software projects can be supported.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved and economical process for the isolation of anticancer agent Camptothecin from the twigs and stem of Nothapodytes foetida using hot extraction 20(S) Camptothecin is an alkaloid, which contains a pentacyclic ring system that includes a pyrrolo [3,4-b] quinoline moiety (ring A, B and C), the pyridone ring D and a chiral center at C-20 in ring E.

Abstract: Accordingly the present invention provides an improved and economical process for the isolation of oleanolic acid from the roots of Lantana camara, which comprises of drying, grinding and defattening of Lantana camara roots with light petroleum followed by over night extractions at room temperature (30-40° C.) three times with a single solvent selected from CH2Cl2, CHCl3, EtOAc, ether, acetone, MeOH, EtOH etc., removal of solvent under vacuum at 35-45° C., precipitation of crude extract and repeated partial crystallization of precipitate with a single solvent selected from CH2Cl2, CHCl3, EtOAc, ether, acetone, MeOH, EtOH, H2O and others resulting in the isolation of oleanolic acid with 1% yield.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I named NIAZIRIDIN and to analogues and derivatives thereof. The present invention also relates to a process for the isolation of a novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I below named NIAZIRIDIN and its derivatives and analogues by bioactivity-guided fractionation from the pods of Moringa oleifera. The present invention particularly relates to the bioenhancing activity of the novel nitrile glycoside of Formula I below named NIAZIRIDIN and its derivatives and analogues in enhancing bioactivity of commonly used antibiotics such as rifampicin, tetracycline and ampicillin against Gram (+) and (?) bacteria. The biomolecule also enhances the absorption of drugs, vitamins and nutrients through the gastro-intestinal membrane increasing their bio-availability. Therefore niaziridin can be used in combination therapy with drugs and nutrients resulting in reduced drug associated toxicity, reduced cost and duration of chemotherapy.
