Broad Area of research: Neuro & Cardiovascular pharmacology
Specific area of research:
- Screening of isolated phytoconstituent or extracts of medicinal plants on experimental diabetic stroke and Parkinson’s disease
- Effect of chemicals on diabetic complications (cardiac and renal)
- An antimalarial potential of selected phytoconstituents
- Brief procedure
- At pharmacology lab, we are interested in the screening of isolated phytoconstituent on diabetic stroke against a global/focal model of ischemia in rats and Parkinson’s disease (6-OHDA model).
- Molecules screened: solasodine, Trans cinnamic Acid, Ellagic acid, Geraniol
