Effect of various surface sterilisation treatments on medicinal plants Salvadora persica andSolanum surattense has been studied for in-vitro propagation. Surface sterilisation treatment was appliedby physical, chemical and physiochemical means. Chemical sterilisation was done with sodium hypochlorite,physically with sonication and physiochemically with combination of both. Sodium hypochlorite alonewas found to be effective for smooth textured plant i.e., Salvadora persica, whereas for rough texturedplant Solanum surattense a combination of both physiochemical means yielded good results. However,sonication alone did not render the effective way of surface sterilisation. Moreover, for Salvadora persica,10% sodium hypochlorite was effective in eliminating bacterial or fungal growth whereas in Solanumsurattense, a concentration of 15% sodium hypochlorite proved to be effective. In general, best resultswere achieved in the combined treatment by physiochemical means.

Chinese Medicinal Plants

A great number of naturally occurring oligosaccharides and oligosaccharide esters have been isolated from traditional Chinese medicinal plants, which are used widely in Asia and show prominent curative effects in the prevention and treatment of kinds of diseases. Numerousin vitroandin vivoexperiments have revealed that oligosaccharides and their esters exhibited various activities, including antioxidant, antidepressant, cytotoxic, antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cerebral protective, antidiabetic, plant growth-regulatory, and immunopotentiating activities. This review summarizes the investigations on the distribution, chemical structures, and bioactivities of natural oligosaccharides and their esters from traditional Chinese medicines between 2003 and 2013.

Immunotherapy Of Cancer

Many Chinese medicinal plants have immunomodulatory and anti-tumour activities. Most of the anti-tumour activities of these Chinese herbs are probably due to their immunostimulating polysaccharide components. A general scheme for the isolation and purification of the bioactive polysaccharides from naturally occurring medicinal plants is described. Hot-water extraction followed by various chromatographic methods are usually used to purify the bioactive polysaccharides. The different fractions separated from Chinese medicinal plants show a range of immunomodulatory and anti-tumour activities. The analytical methods used for monosaccharide sequence determination and structural elucidation of the bioactive polysaccharides are described, as are the tests used to evaluate their immunopharmacological activities, both in vitro and in vivo. The purification, characterization and structural elucidation of immunomodulatory polysaccharides from medicinal plants may have important implications in the immunotherapy of cancer and in the treatment of various other diseases.
