In the present study the effects of curcumin was studied against the toxic effects induced by 0.025 and 0.050 ml/ml of cyclophosphamide (CP) in the third instar larvae of transgenic <em>Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9</em> using hsp70 expression and dye exclusion test as a parameter. The exposure of the third instar larvae to 0.025ml/ml of CP along with 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml of curcumin results in the dose dependent significant decrease in the <em>hsp70</em> expression and tissue damage for 12, 24 and 48hr of duration. Similar results were obtained with the exposure of third instar larvae to 0.050 ml/ml of CP along with 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml of curcumin. The selected doses of curcumin i.e. 1, 5 and 10 mg/ml were not toxic but reduced significantly the expression of <em>hsp70</em> and tissue damage induced by CP. The results of the present study suggest that the curcumin has a protective role against the toxic effects of CP in the third instar larvae of transgenic <em>Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9</em>.

In the present study the effects of Plumbago zeylanica extract were studied against the toxic effects induced by 10 μM of ethinylestradiol in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes using chromosomal aberrations as a parameter and in the third instar larvae of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ)Bg9 (by 0.50 and 1.0 μl/mL of ethinylestradiol) using hsp70 expression as a parameter. The selected doses of P. zeylanica extract i.e. 1.075x10–4, 2.125x10–4, 3.15x10–4 and 4.17x10–4 g/mL were not toxic but were potent enough to reduce significantly the toxic effects induced by ethinylestradiol in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The selected doses for the estimation of hsp70 expression in the third instar larvae of transgenic D. melanogaster (hsp70-lacZ) Bg9. i.e. 1, 2, 4 and 6 µl/mL were not toxic though reduced significantly the expression of hsp70 induced by 0.5 and1.0 µl/mL of ethinylestradiol.
