“…The hepatoprotective property of the extract may be attributed to the presence of flavonoids which are present in the plant. Previous phytochemical investigations of Tridax procumbens described the isolation and structural determination of a flavonoid, procumbenetin (Ali et al, 2001). The inhibitory activity of this flavonoid in free radical production could be related to the hepatoprotective effect (Ravikumar et al, 2004).…”

The sulphated polysaccharide from the widespread Tridax procumbens plant was studied for the anticoagulant, antiherpetic and antibacterial activity. The anticoagulant activity was determined by the activated partial thromboplastin time assay. The sulphated polysaccharide from T. procumbens represented potent anticoagulant reaching the efficacy to heparin and chondroitin sulphate. Moreover, the sulphated polysaccharide extracted from T. procumbens was found non-toxic on Vero cell lines up to the concentration of 200 μg/ml. Sulphated polysaccharide exhibited detectable antiviral effect towards HSV-1 with IC(50) value 100-150 μg/ml. Furthermore, sulphated polysaccharide from T. procumbens was highly inhibitory against the bacterial strains Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio harveyi isolated from oil sardine.

Abstract-Tridax procumbens is a common weed plant belonging to the family Asteraceae. The leaf juice has antiseptic, insecticidal and parasiticidal properties. The present work is based on developing a protocol for the callus induction in Tridax procumbens from various explants like leaf, internodes and shoot apical buds. The sterilized explants were inoculated in MS media containing various combination of auxins such as 2, 4, dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and cytokinins such as kinetin and 6 benzyl amino purine (BAP). Leaf and apical bud explants showed early and profuse callus induction whereas internodal explants showed comparatively delayed but profuse callus induction. Leaf and apical bud explants showed maximum response in terms of callus by using MS media with the combination 2, 4-D 0.5mg/lit and BAP 0.5mg/lit which was followed by 2, 4-D 0.5mg/lit and KIN 0.5mg/lit, 2, 4 -D 0.5mg/lit and BAP+KIN 0.5 mg/lit, NAA 0.5mg/lit and BAP 0.5mg/lit, NAA 2mg/lit and BAP 0.5mg/lit respectively. Whereas internodal explants showed maximum callus induction by using a hormonal concentration of 2mg/lit 2,4, D and 0.5mg/lit BAP. In vitro generated callus can be used as a source for the isolation of secondary metabolites from Tridax plant.
