Lowering Activity

The fruits of Pistacia integerrima (PI), Withania coagulans (WC) and Withania somnifera (WS) have been reported for their medicinal values. The aim of the present study was to compare the glucose lowering activities of the fruit extracts of these three medicinal plants in glucose induced non-diabetic hyperglycemic and normal rabbit models. During the first phase of experiments, the effects of oral administration of 70% methanol extract of each plant fruit (600 mg/kg body weight) and glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight) were studied on the glucose level of glucose induced hyperglycemic rabbits, while in the second phase of experiments, the effects of each fruit extract (600 mg/kg body weight) and glibenclamide (5 mg/kg body weight) were assessed on the glucose level of normal rabbits. Among the three fruit extracts, maximum reduction in the blood glucose level was caused by the PI extract (P ˂0.05). The glucose lowering activity of the PI extract was greater than that of the standard, glibenclamide (5mg/kg), during the first phase of experiments. However during the second phase of experiments the hypoglycemic effect of the PI extract was comparable to that of the standard, glibenclamide (5mg/kg). In conclusion the present study reveals that the 70% methanol extract of Pistacia integerrima fruit can decrease glucose level significantly in glucose induced non-diabetic hyperglycemic and normal rabbit models.

N. nuciferais one among the important medicinal plants assessed for its antiobesity action in various preclinical models. The present study was aimed at investigating the antiobesity effect of methanol and successive water extracts of petals ofN. nuciferaby studying its effect on adipogenesis, adipolysis, lipase, serotonin (5-HT2C), cannabinoid (CNR2), melanocyte concentrating hormone (MCHR1), and melanocortin (MC4R) receptors. Both methanol and successive water extracts ofN. nuciferapetals had an effect on inhibition of lipid storage in adipocytes and on increasing lipolysis.N. nuciferapetal methanol extract exhibited the concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on lipase activity with an IC50value of 47 µg/mL.N. nuciferapetal extracts showed evident agonist and antagonist activity towards 5-HT2Cand CNR2receptors, respectively, while it showed no effect towards MCHR1and MC4R receptors. Overall, methanol extract ofN. nuciferapetals showed better activity than successive water extract.

Mediated Oxidation

Free radical-mediated oxidation is often linked to various degenerative diseases. Biological substrates with lipids as major components are susceptible to oxygen-derived lipid peroxidation due to their composition. Lipid peroxide products act as biomarkers in evaluating the antioxidant potential of various plants and functional foods. The study focused on evaluation of the antioxidant potential of two extracts (methanol and 80% methanol) of four medicinal plants,Andrographis paniculata,Costus speciosus, Canthium parviflorum, andAbrus precatorius, against Fenton reaction-mediated oxidation of three biological lipid substrates; cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and brain homogenate. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances method. Also, the correlation between the polyphenol, flavonoid content, and the antioxidant activity in biological substrates was analyzed. Results indicated highest antioxidant potential by 80% methanol extract ofCanthium parviflorum(97.55%), methanol extract ofAndrographis paniculata(72.15%), and methanol extract ofCanthium parviflorum(49.55%) in cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and brain, respectively. The polyphenol and flavonoid contents of methanol extract ofAndrographis paniculatain cholesterol (r=0.816) and low-density lipoprotein (r=0.948) andCostus speciosusin brain (r=0.977, polyphenols, andr=0.949, flavonoids) correlated well with the antioxidant activity. The findings prove the antioxidant potential of the selected medicinal plants against Fenton reaction in biological lipid substrates.

The study aims to report the ethnobotanical significance of medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases, phytochemical constituents of those plants, their allelopathic effect, and impact of those plants on the socioeconomic aspect in Gulmi and Okhaldhunga district of Nepal. Altogether 41 species of medicinal plants from two areas were documented, using a semi-structured questionnaire. They have been using those species for the treatment of different ailment ranging from gastrointestinal problems, respiratory tract related problems, cuts and wounds, and dermatological problems. 18 of the potentially valuable medicinal plants were brought for performing secondary metabolites tests in methanol extract. The extracts have shown the presence of alkaloid, carbohydrate, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, saponins, oil and protein, out of which alkaloid was found to be present in every sample. In contrast, only 5 possessed protein. Out of 18 plant extracts, 11 most valued ones were isolated to carry out allelopathy tests on mungbean seed. Only the control treatment bored germination of the mungbean with full radicle and plumule development. This study also reports the impact of the use of medicinal plants in people’s daily life.
