Changes in catechins, caffeine, total polyphenol, theaflavins, and antioxidant activity during CTC processing of black tea from North East India cultivar were studied. Total polyphenol decreased up to 37% with the formation of theaflavins up to 1.8%.

Capsicum chinense, popularly known as Bhut jolokia, was collected from three states of North-East India and was studied for variation in its pungency principal viz. capsaicinoid content and antioxidant activity as well as its inter-action affinity with human inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) active sites. HPLC fingerprinting analysis showed capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin as the major active compounds present in the capsaicinoid extract of C. chinense. In comparison to dihydrocapsaicin, capsaicin was found in high amount. The pungency range was observed between 3, 47,301 SHU to 8, 45,296 SHU in the collected samples. The capsaicinoid extract exhibited antioxidant activity with 46.24 ± 15.34% scavenging of DPPH free radical at 100 ppm. The dock-ing analysis showed that capsaicin interacted more with the active sites of iNOS compared to dihydrocapsaicin. Present investigation revealed considerable difference in capsaicinoid content among the samples collected from three states of North-East India. The capsaicinoid showed noticeable antioxidant activity with potent binding affinity to the active sites of iNOS in the molecular docking analysis.

A new diphenyl ether glycoside, xylosmaloside (1), was isolated from the MeOH extract of Xylosma longifolium Clos. The structure of xylosmaloside (1) was elucidated using MS analyses, extensive 2D-homo and heteronuclear NMR data interpretation and the chemical conversions. Xylosmaloside (1) showed stronger antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid.

This report deals with studies related to phytochemical screening, antioxidant potential and antibacterial activity of two macrolichens Acroscyphus sphaerophoroides Lev., a fruticose lichen and Dirinaria consimilis (Stirton) D.D. Awasthi, a foliose lichen. Qualitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, glycosides, tannins and phenols. Acroscyphus sphaerophoroides and Dirinaria consimilis showed relatively antioxidant activity as revealed by DPPH study. A moderate iron chelation has been noted. Both the species showed antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacterial strain Staphylococcus aureus.
