Chinese Medicinal Plant

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), isolated from the rhizome of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Chuanxiong (Ligusticum wallichii Franchat) shows therapeutic efficacy against osteoarthritis. After intra-articular injection, the retention time of TMP in the joint cavity is short, which limits its treatment effect. To avoid this problem, the present study explored the preparation of a TMP nanosuspension (TMP-NS) based on hydrophobic ion pairing. TMP-NS showed a particle size of approximately 588 nm and, after intra-articular injection in rats, it had longer retention in the articular cavity, higher TMP concentrations in joints, and greater anti-osteoarthritic efficacy than TMP solution. TMP-NS didn’t cause significant inflammation at the joint. These results suggest that TMP-NS may strengthen and prolong the therapeutic efficacy of TMP against osteoarthritis without systemic toxicity.

Important Medicinal Plant

Swertia chirayita is an important medicinal plant from Nepal with anti-diabetic, anti-pyretic, anti-malarial and anti-inflammatory potential and used in therapeutic herbal preparations in parts of South Asia. The main phytochemicals in crude aqueous and ethanolic extracts of different plant parts of Swertia chirayita collected from nine different districts of Nepal representing West, East and Central Nepal were quantified using HPLC/DAD (High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detection). The quantities of these phytochemicals were also compared between wild and cultivated plant parts of Swertia chirayita. Amarogentin, mangiferin, swertiamarin were the main phytochemicals in all extracts. The highest quantity of all the three phytochemicals was found in IL (inflorescence and leaf mixture) of all the collected plants samples. There was no significant difference in the amounts of these three phytochemicals between extracts from wild and cultivated plants. The result from this study substantiates the validity of cultivated Swertia chirayita for medicinal purposes and trade.Key words:  Swertia chirayita; HPLC/DAD; Wild; Cultivated; Phytochemicals; Quantification; Mangiferin; Swertiamarin; AmarogentinDOI: 10.3126/eco.v17i0.4118EcoprintAn International Journal of EcologyVol. 17, 2010Page: 59-68Uploaded date: 3 January, 2011

Accessible Method

Medicinal plants are one of the most affordable and accessible method available for the treatment of various ailments and diseases by the local people. In this regards, the study aimed to document the ethno-medicinal knowledge of plants used by the local people of Dagana district of Bhutan. Data were collected between June and November of 2020 using semi-structured interviews from the local people, following snowball sampling.  The study documented 74 medicinal plant species, used for treating 30 different body ailments and diseases. Maximum number of species (14) was used in treating cut/body wounds and commonly used plant parts was leaves (30 species). Current study area was found to be rich in ethno-medicinal knowledge, but equally threatened with declining practices and management of resources. Thus, appropriate conservation of resources and preservation of traditional knowledge is required.
