“…After 120 minutes of glucose loading, the Heritiera fomes bark extracts decreased serum glucose levels by 35.6 and 44.7%, respectively, at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight. In contrast, glibenclamide decreased serum glucose levels by 30.1% when given at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight [81] . To treat alloxan-induced diabetic rats, an ethanolic extract of Ceriops decandra leaves was given orally daily for 30 days at a dose of 120 mg/kg.…”

Introduction: Mangroves are halophytic plants which distributed throughout the world's tropical and subtropical region specially in the Sundarban area. There are eight species of Avicennia and six species of Heritiera are identified for medicinal purposes. Avicennia officinali and Heritiera fomes are the two most prominent mangroves. There are both used in medicinal and commercial purposes. They give the therapeutic activity of antibacterial, anticancer, antihyperglycaemuic, antidirrheal, antioxidant and antiulcer properties.The goal of this article is to provide a thorough comprehensive data regarding Avicennia officinalis and Heritiera fomes including phytochemistry, pharmacological activities, traditional, ethnomedicinal uses and pharmacognostic features. Methodology: Every information regarding traditional aspects and research study of Avicennia officinalis and Heritiera fomes were collected through a massive literature survey and Herbal books along with scientific resources.Result & Discussion: Avicennia officinalis and Heritiera fomes are been used in medicinal agents to treat a variety of conditions, such as bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, ulcers, rheumatism, cancer and diarrheal disease. More than fifty bioactive compounds from each various plant parts have been identified and isolated as a result of laboratory research today. The phytochemicals reported as characteristic constituents of this plant are alkaloids, glycosides, flavanoids, steroids, terpenoids with polyisoprenoids, and tannins. Moreover, documents relevant to pharmacological assessment have demonstrated noteworthy properties like antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, antioxidant, and carcinogenic properties, among many others. Conclusion:This article provides a summary of the distribution and diversity of Avicennia officinalis and Heritiera fomes as well as a thorough analysis of the phyto-pharmacological research that has been done on this medicinal plant thus far. It also emphasizes the need for more research on the phyto-constituents that underline the validated traditional and folklore claims of the plant's extensive medicinal use.

“…Two flavonoids, luteolin and luteolin 7-O-β-glucoside, were isolated from Sonneratia caseolaris and found to possess antioxidant activity . In addition to the monomeric compounds, catechin and epicatechin, large amounts of procyanidins were isolated from a mangrove plant of Bangladesh named Xylocarpus granatum (Wangensteen et al, 2006a). The structures of the procyanidins were procyanidin B1 (epicatechin (4β →8) catechin), epicatechin (4β →8) epicatechin (4β →8) catechin and epicatechin (4β →8) epicatechin (4β →8) epicatechin (4β →8) epicatechin (4β →8) catechin.…”

A growing body of evidence suggests that cellular damage or oxidative injury arising from production of free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical causative factors in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders. Results from biological and phytochemical studies indicate that medicinal plants have profound antioxidant potential that can be exploited further in the prevention and treatment of these devastating disorders. Here we have summarized the pharmacological and phytochemical investigations of 49 Bangladeshi medicinal plants representing 36 families with proven strong antioxidant properties. The medicinal plants were found to have profound antioxidant effect that can explain and justify some of their use in traditional medicine. These antioxidant medicinal plants may be considered as future leads to novel drug development for the management of various neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders associated with oxidative cellular damage.
