M.S. (Pharm.) Project:

DISSERTATION:
Title: Effects of Selected Medicinal Plants on the Proliferation, Osteogenic Differentiation and
Mineralization of Osteoblast Model Systems in vitro
Research Supervisor: Dr. Sheetal Anandjiwala, Dr. Milee Agarwal
Description:
Osteoporosis, a silently progressing metabolic bone disease that leads to loss of bone mass, is
widely prevalent in India and osteoporotic fractures are a common cause of morbidity and
mortality in adult Indian men and women. More efficient and reliable bioassays should be
developed as a matter of urgency to systematically evaluate the antiosteoporotic efficacy of
plant extracts, to identify the bioactive compounds responsible for the bone protective
manifestation, and to elucidate possible anti osteoporotic mechanisms. The present study is
designed to assess the anti-osteoporotic potential of selected medicinal plants derived
components. The mechanistic pathway of these constituents will also be studied by various
bioassays mimicking osteoporosis condition using MG-63 cell line.
