Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel bioactive water fraction obtained from the leaves of an herb named Gomphostema niveum commonly found in North Eastern part of India, and which is useful for inhibiting the growth of malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The present invention also relates to a method for the extraction of said bioactive fraction. The present invention also provides methods for treatment of malaria using such bioactive water fractions and use of such bioactive water fractions for the treatment of malaria.

Abstract:
A typhoid vaccine using heat shock protein (Hsp) of Salmonella typhi and a method for the manufacture thereof. A composition comprising an effective amount of a complex of a Hsp, in part or whole, either alone or covalently or non-covalently bound to an antigenic molecule, which when administered to a mammal elicits specific immunological responses in the host. The antigenic molecule refers to the exogenous antigens/immunogens such as viz LPS, peptide, nucleic acid or polysaccharide or antigenic/immunogenic fragments and derivatives thereof.
