Cancer is a malady of uncontrolled proliferation of defected cells. Mass of irregularly divided cells might stay at one place or advances to other tissues. Many therapies for cancer are in practice including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is most extensively used method but it has severe side effects. Natural products being originated from biological resources are biological friendly and have fewer side effects so they can provide valuable template for drug development. Bistotra amplexicaulis is a famous herb used in natural therapeutics for curing many ailments especially hepatic disorders but the underlying mechanism for this activity was scientifically unexplored. The main objective was to isolate cancer chemo-preventive and/or chemotherapeutic compounds from this plant species. For initial screening of antioxidant and cytotoxic potential against HepG2 cell line, crude extract of B. amplexicaulis rhizome was prepared by using maceration technique and the percentage yield obtained was (18.72 %). Different fractions were prepared by solvent-solvent extraction of crude extract including nhexane (0.04 %), chloroform fraction (0.06 %), ethyl acetate fraction (4 %), nbutanol fraction (8 %). The capacity of plant extracts as anticancer and antioxidant was measured by employing cytotoxic assay (MTT assay) and range of antioxidant assays (DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, superoxide scavenging, hydroxyl scavenging, and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay). nhexane fraction was proved as highly active against HepG2 cancer cell line in MTT assay with the higher percentage inhibition (89 %) at 20 μg/ml. The results of the antioxidant assays showed that ethyl acetate fraction was most active in DPPH radical scavenging assay, ABTS radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant assay, superoxide radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay with the IC50 values of (5.76 ± 0.03 μg/ml), (0.74 ± 0.1 μg/ml), (72.55 ± 0.09 ascorbic acid equivalents), (6.86 ± 0.19 μg/ml), (0.96 ± 0.16 μg/ml) respectively. On the basis of the above findings both n-hexane and ethyl acetate fraction were considered for isolation of active compounds. For the isolation and purification of compound from the active fractions of Bistorta amplexicaulis, fractions were subjected to normal phase open column chromatography, reverse phase open column chromatography, reverse phase low pressure liquid column chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and high pressure liquid column chromatography. One compound from n-hexane fraction and three compounds from ethyl acetate fraction were isolated. The chemical structure of these compounds were established by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy including proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C NMR) and electron spray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Compound 1 with ESI-MS (m/z 284 calc. for C16H12O5); 1H NMR 400 MHz and 13C NMR100 MHz (CD3OD) was identified as 1,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-7-methylanthracene-9,10-dione, compound 2 with ESIMS (m/z 574 calc. for C35H58O6); NMR 400 MHz and 13C NMR 100 MHz (C5H5N) was identified as daucosterol, compound 3 with ESIMS (m/z 290 calc. for C15H14O6); NMR 400 MHz and 13C NMR 100 MHz (CD3OD) was identified as -(-) catechin, Compound 4 with ESIMS (m/z 452 calc. for C24H20O9), white powder; NMR 400 MHz and 13C NMR 100 MHz (CD3OD) known as cinchonain Ib. Finally isolated compounds were screened for cytotoxic potential against Human non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1299. Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SK-Hep-1 and for antioxidant potential in ABTS assay. Results indicate that compound 1 was the most potent inhibitor on SK-Hep-1 cell proliferation with 30.26 μM of IC50 value, compound 2 showed the IC50 value of 78 μM and compound 4 showed the IC50 value of 89 μM. Compound 3 was found inactive in anti cytotoxic assay. All of the compounds were also tested for their antioxidant potential in ABTS radical scavenging assay. Results showed that compound 3 had higher antioxidant potential with the IC50 value of 40 μM. This is the first report on detailed antioxidant and cytotoxic evaluation of crude extract and polarity based fractions of Bistorta amplexicaulis. This is also the first report on the establishment of protocol for the purification of two of the high market valued compounds from Bistorta amplexicaulis. Further isolation is required to find more compounds for antioxidant and cytotoxic potential. A comprehensive study on mechanism of action of compounds in in-vivo model is required. The current retail price of two of these compounds is very high so a company based on commercialization of this technology would be an industry which has the potential to create jobs in Pakistan.

مولوی محمد شفیع
افسوس ہے کہ گذشتہ مہینہ پاکستان کے نامور فاضل مولوی محمد شفیع صاحب سابق پرنسپل اورینٹل کالج لاہور نے انتقال کیا، ان کی وفات علمی دنیا کا بڑا حادثہ ہے، وہ ہندو پاک کے نامور فضلاء و محققین میں تھے، انگریزی کے ساتھ عربی و فارسی کے بھی ماہر تھے، ان کا علمی پایہ بہت بلند تھا، ان کے علمی و تحقیقی کارنامے بڑے متنوع ہیں، بہت سے فاضلانہ علمی مقالات کے علاوہ انھوں نے عربی و فارسی کی متعدد اہم اور نادر کتابوں کو تصحیح و تحشیہ کے ساتھ مرتب کرکے شائع کیا، اپنی پرنسپلی کے زمانہ میں علمی حیثیت سے اورینٹل کالج میگزین کا معیار بہت بلند اور اپنے تلامذہ میں سنجیدہ علمی تلاش و تحقیق کا ایک عام ذوق پیدا کردیا تھا، چنانچہ لاہور کے موجودہ فضلاء اور محققین میں بیشتر انہی کے تربیت یافتہ ہیں، ادھر چند سال سے لاہور یونیورسٹی اردو انسائیکلوپیڈیا کی تالیف و اشاعت کا کام ان کی نگرانی میں شروع ہوا تھا، اور اس کے بعض اجزا شائع بھی ہوئے لیکن ابھی یہ کام ابتدائی منزل میں ہے، اس قحط الرجال کے زمانہ میں علمی ذوق و طلب میں ان کی ذات علمائے سلف کا نمونہ تھی اﷲ تعالیٰ اس شیدائے علم کو رحمت و مغفرت سے سرفراز فرمائے۔ (شاہ معین الدین ندوی، اپریل ۱۹۶۳ء)

 

Awareness of the Benefits of Strategic Planning For Educational Institutions

This article aims to determine the benefits of strategic planning for Islamic educational institutions. The method used is a literature review, by collecting various supporting article references from national journals. The results of this study explain, if strategic planning can be made and implemented correctly and supported by leadership commitment, then strategic planning can provide benefits for Islamic educational institutions, including: (1) Strategic planning can strengthen the "critical mass" into a team that compact, because it is directed to adhere to basic values, main systems and common goals, (2) Strategic planning can help to optimize the performance of Islamic educational institutions, (3) Strategic planning can help leaders to always focus attention and adhere to a framework for overall improvement efforts continuous, (4) Strategic planning provides guidelines for daily decision making, and (5) Strategic planning always makes it easy to measure the organization's progress in achieving its goals of improving quality and productivity. The benefits of educational strategic planning are things that need to be considered to create quality Islamic educationh

Studies on in Vitro Induction of Mutations in Rosa Species Through Different Techniques

Among the highly fragrant rose species, R. centifolia, R. gruss an teplitz and R. borboniana have high commercial importance and value added potential. However, their large plant size, small flower size and lack of diversification in color detracts these species from recent trends of floriculture market. Therefore, this study aimed to produce reduced-stature plants and to improve flower color and size through in vitro mutagenesis using gamma irradiation, colchicine and somaclonal variation techniques. For this purpose cultures of R. gruss an teplitz, R. centifolia and R. borboniana were established by disinfestation of shoot tips with 0.1% HgCl2. It gave maximum survival percentage with limited occurrence of bacterial and fungal contamination. BAP @ 1.0 mgl-1 and IBA @ 0.50 mgl-1 found to be the optimum concentrations for shoot proliferation and in vitro rooting respectively. Micropropagated shoot tips of R. gruss an teplitz, R. centifolia and R. borboniana were irradiated with gamma rays upto 120 Gy. Minimum survival percentage was recorded at 60, 30 and 50 Gy respectively. Above these doses of gamma rays there was a complete mortality. Moreover, plant height was decreased with reduction in color and size of flowers. During selection variegated, pink color and abnormal shape flowers were also found in R. gruss an teplitz. Influence of colchicine was found to be species specific and its response showed significant results. Shoot tips treated with colchicine solutions for three hours resulted in minimum survival percentage at the maximum level of colchicine (1100 mgl-1). However, plant height was maximum in the plants of R. gruss an teplitz, R.centifolia and R. borboniana treated with colchicine solution at 900 and 1100 mgl-1. Moreover, treated R. gruss an teplitz and R. centifolia produced large size flowers with more intensification of color. This technique resulted in generation of variegated, serated petals and abnormal shape flowers in R. gruss an teplitz. In another set of trial micropropagated shoot tip explants were incubated for 5, 7 and 11 days in MS media fortified with different concentrations of colchicine. It resulted minimum survival percentage with the increase in the colchicine concentration and incubation period. However, plant height, flower size and intensification of flower color were increased with increase in the concentration of colchicine upto 450 mgl-1 with incubation period of 11 days. Use of colchicine in medium also yielded variegated flowers in R. gruss an teplitz species. Plants of R. gruss an teplitz obtained through regeneration via callus exhibited significant somaclonal variation than other regeneration methods. Genetic variation found in rose species was confirmed through RAPD analysis. Now these mutants need to be screened over the next few years for floral and vegetative characteristics. This study adds to the ongoing efforts to increase diversification in plant height, flower color and size of rose flowers. The outcome of the study will be helpful for future studies regarding induction of mutations in rose species.
