Group 4. Prof.K.Thyagaraju, Department of Biochemistry, SVUniversity, Tirupati
a. Rationale:
The department of biochemistry, at present, is working on isolation, purification and analysis of various plant various parts products of Tirumala hills on the regulation of microbes, oxidant stress, cell induction, diabetes and obesity of animals. This department is conducting work on production of wine and fermentation to produce bye products as secondary metabolites for the human use. Further the department has established marker proteins for toxicity effect determination in animal systems and use of various plant products as antioxidants to these affected systems. In addition to these further conducting of experiments on cell biology, growth regulation of spermatozoa (rats), embryos (chick), and DNA and protein analysis of cells. Considering the significance work performed of Biochemistry department the following objectives are selected in this programme.
b. Objectives:
-
To isolate and analyze phytochemicals of selected plants from the hill parts of Tirumala
-
To study the regulatory effect of phyto chemicals on obesity, diabetes, oxidative stress, toxicity in animals, rats and microbial contamination.
-
To isolate the secondary products of plant leaves, roots, bark, flower, seed, fruit and tubers, if any and prepare the bulk products for their use in specific activity analysis.
-
To screen each isolated compound for their spectral, molecular and structural analysis
-
To prepare phytomedicines for establishment of their pharmacological uses on cells, organs and macromolecules.
c. Deliverables:
The experimental output of the above objectives generates various pure phytomedicines which are used in curing the diseases of skin problems, liver, kidney, heart, pancreas, eye, brain and blood metabolic problems. They also serve as antibiotics to various microbes. The phytochemicals work at the level of induction of immune system, cell regeneration, and removal of abnormal parts like fat, dead cells etc. These phytomedicines can also generate finance to the producer as pharmaceuticals depending on the function for which they are used and made into the forms as tablets, caplets, capsules, syrups and powders.
