Secondary metabolites, substantially available in the medicinal plants, have divulged their pharmacological properties and can be used in its isolated form or as integral component of the plant‟s part, to cure a variety of disorders. High blood pressure is considered as silent killer as it sneaks up in the body and may leads to serious cardiovascular disorders. Many allopathic antihypertensive medicines are presently available but these are taking their toll in the form of serious side effects. Therefore, the present study was designed for extraction and evaluation of plant‟s secondary metabolites as green Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors for management of hypertension. In the first phase of this research, aqueous and ethanol extracts of 22 plants were initially screened as green ACE inhibitors. Among them four plants Coriandrum sativum, Amomum subulatum, Rauvolfia serpentina and Curcuma longa showed highest ACE inhibition potential. Secondary metabolites were extracted from these four medicinal plants and evaluated for ACE inhibition potential. The highest ACE inhibition potential was observed with flavonoid (81.4±0.48%) of Coriandrum sativum, tannin (77.9±0.24%) of Amomum subulatum, flavonoid (79.9±0.42%) and tannin (88.3±0.26%) of Rauvolfia serpentina and alkaloid (44.4±1.32%) of Curcuma longa. Plants are traditionally recognized for their synergic therapeutic effects, therefore, combinations of plants and their secondary metabolites were evaluated for synergistic ACE inhibition potential. The results revealed that the combination No.1 comprising of Rauvolfia serpentina and Curcuma longa (RS+CL) exhibited significant ACE inhibitory activity (65.08±0.33%) with IC50 value of 73.67μg/mL. The combination No. 13 of secondary metabolite comprising of tannins and flavonoids of Rauvolfia serpentina and alkaloids of Curcuma longa (TRS+FRS+ACL) showed highest ACE inhibition potential (69.64±0.80%) with IC50 value of 39.67μg/mL. Secondary metabolites present in combination No. 13 were further fractionated through column chromatography. Different fractions of flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids were collected, but among them only F3 fraction of flavonoids, T3 fraction of tannins of Rauvolfia serpentina and A6 fraction of alkaloids of Curcuma longa showed ACE inhibition potential. In 2nd phase of the study, characterization of five secondary metabolites fractions extracted from four selected medicinal plants and secondary metabolites present in combination No. 13 were performed by LC-ESI-MS/MS technique to find out the actual bioactive compounds responsible for ACE inhibition potential. The ACE inhibitors identified from flavonoids fraction were included pinocembrin, apigenin, pseudobaptigenin, quercetin, myricetin-3-O-glucoside, quercetin- dimethyl ether-O-glucuronide, quercetagetin, Luteolin-7-O-glycoronyl and quercetin-3-O-hexose-pentoside. Tannins fraction contained ellagic acid, megiferin gallate, prodelphinidin B4, tri galloyl glucose and geraniin as ACE inhibitors. Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine,3,3a,4,7-tetrahydro-3,3-dimethyl;(3aS) and 2-(2‟-methyl-1‟-propyl)-4, 6-dimethyl-7-hydroxyquinoline were identified as alkaloidal ACE inhibitors. In the 3rd phase of this study, the combination No. 1 of plant (RS+CL) and combination No. 13 of secondary metabolites (TRS+FRS+ACL) were investigated for in vivo antihypertensive potential through spontaneous induction of hypertension by two kidney one clip (2K1C) renal artery ligation method. In vivo trial revealed that the combination No. 13 of secondary metabolites showed comparatively better antihypertensive potential as compared to the combination No.1 of whole plants. It is pertinent to mention that the antihypertensive potential of the isolated secondary metabolites was better even than the standard drug (Captopril) which was used as reference.

علامہ سید رشید رضا

سید رشید رضا مِصری
افسوس ہے کہ ۲۲؍ اگست ۱۹۳۵؁ء (جمادی الاولیٰ ۱۳۵۴؁ھ) کو مصر بلکہ دنیائے اسلام کے سب سے بڑے عالم علامہ سید رشید صاحب المنار نے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، یہ مفتی عبدہ مرحوم کے سب سے ممتاز شاگرد اور سید جمال الدین افغانی کے فیوض و برکات سے بیک واسطہ مستفید تھے، شام وطن تھا، لیکن سلطان عبدالمجید خان کی داروگیر سے گھبرا کر چلے آئے تھے اور آخر یہیں کے ہوکر رہ گئے، عمر اس وقت ستر۷۰ سے کم نہ ہوگی، پھر بھی ان کی جسمانی قوت اور کام کی طاقت بہت اچھی تھی، اسلام کے اصلاحی مسائل ان کی تصانیف کا خاص موضوع تھا، المنار جس کی اشاعت دنیائے اسلام کے گوشہ گوشہ میں تھی، ان کی اڈیٹری میں نکلتا تھا، بلکہ یہ کہنا چاہئے کہ پورا رسالہ انہیں کے قلم کا مرہون ہوتا تھا، ان کی سب سے اہم تصنیف تفسیرالمنار تھی، جو افسوس کہ ان کی وفات سے ناتمام رہ گئی، یہ تفسیر زمانۂ حال کی ضرورتوں کو سامنے رکھ کر لکھ رہے تھے۔ وہ عقیدہ میں سلف کے پیرو اور فقہ میں غیر مقلد تھے، ان کی انشاء پردازی قدیم و جدید دونوں خوبیوں کولئے ہوئی تھی، فقہ، تفسیر اور حدیث میں یدِطولیٰ رکھتے تھے، ان کی آخری تصنیف ’’الرمی المحمدی‘‘ ہے، جس کا ہندوستانی ترجمہ کلکتہ سے شائع ہوچکا ہے، قدیم و جدید خیالات کی تطبیق ان کی ہر تحریر میں ہوتی تھی اور وہ اسی کے اس زمانہ میں اسلام کے لئے مفید خدمت سمجھتے تھے۔
اس زمانے میں جب ایسے روشن خیال و روشن ضمیر علماء جو ایک طرف متقی و پرہیزگار اور دوسری طرف زمانۂ حال کی ضرورتوں سے باخبر ہوں، انگلیوں پر گنے جاسکتے ہیں، سید رشید رضا کا ہمارے درمیان سے اٹھ جانا آج اسلام کا سب سے بڑا حادثہ...

العلامة المفكر البروفسير عون الشريف قاسم السوداني: حياته وفكره ومؤلفاته

This research work emphasizes on the biography, publications and contributions of the Sudanese prominent scholar ‘Aun al-Sharif Qasim who born in the North of Al-Khartoum, the capital of the republic of Sudan in 1933 A.D. He wrote many books in Arabic language and his famous book “A Dictionary of Colloquial Dialect in Sudan” specially deals with the studies on the Sudanese Colloquial Arabic language and its impact on the literary Arabic language. Likewise he wrote in literature and language and enriched his scholastic life with many publications. This research work tries to convey the most important book and to give a short thought on it.

Impact of Financial Leverage on Financial Performance of Firms: A Study on Cement Sector in Pakistan

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of financial leverage on financial performance of cement sector in Pakistan. By selecting the appropriate panel econometric technique among ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects and random effects, the association between financial leverage and financial performance of all cement companies listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange during 2008-2012 has been analyzed. The number of cement companies listed on KSE is 19. The empirical results depict that financial leverage has positive and statistically significant association with both proxies of financial performance which are return on assets (ROA) and Tobin?s Q. It is evident from these results that cement companies of Pakistan can reap the benefits of leverage if they create an appropriate mix of equity and debt in their capital structure. Among the control variables, firm size is positively and significantly associated with return on assets and negatively and insignificantly related with Tobin?s Q. Asset tangibility and return on equity have negative and insignificant association while it has inverse and significant relationship with Tobin?s Q. The liquidity is found to have positive and significant association with both financial performance measures (i.e. return on assets and Tobin?s Q) of the cement companies which show that efficient working capital management leads to better firm performance. The findings of this study have practical implications for corporate financial planners of cement sector to include an appropriate proportion of debt in their capital structure. Moreover, this study is also helpful for the financial policy makers of government to establish a strong bond market in Pakistan to facilitate the corporate sector for raising loans to reap the benefits of financial leverage.
