“…Sleum, belonging to the genus Hydnocarpus (Flacourtiaceae family), is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. The Bark, seed, leaf and stem of Hydnocarpus have been used for treating leprosy and other skin disorders for thousands of years in India, China and southeast Asia (Cole and Cardoso, ; Cole and Ht, ; Nayer, ; Chellappandian et al ., ). In recent pharmacological studies, extracts of Hydnocarpus demonstrated a variety of in vitro and in vivo activities including anti‐diabetic (Jong‐Anurakkun et al ., ; Lee et al ., ) anti‐inflammatory (Wang, ), hypolipidemic (Sharma and Hall, ), antimicrobial (Bueno Pérez et al ., ) and antioxidant activities (Shi et al ., ), and this has attracted much attention.…”
