“…In India, the species Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken (syn., Pistacia oleosa Lour., S. trijuga Willd., Cussambium oleosum Kuntze), belongs to the family Sapindaceae, locally known as Kusum, is primarily known as the lac host tree for lac production, which is also known to be exploited for multiple uses including ethnobotanical purpose [1][2][3]. Growing cuttings of Kusum, is a major hurdle for the Lac growers in India.…”

Growing cuttings of Kusum (Schleichera oleosa), is a major hurdle for the Lac growers in India. This species is primarily known as the lac host tree for lac production besides other multiple uses. Due to high population pressure and market demand, the natural population and genetic diversity of this species is declining day-by-day. Maintaining the selected best germplasm through clonal propagation is the need of the hour. Mass multiplication through cuttings could only be the right choice of the grower if found successful. But, no successful cuttings of Kusum have been reported till date. Therefore, an experiment was carried out during 2018-21 following Completely Randomized Design (CRD) to standardize the plant growth media and the seasons for growing cuttings at the very initial stages of the experiment. The result revealed that the root, shoot and leaf growths in cuttings of Kusum are significantly influenced by the different plant growth media. The maximum rooting initiation (43.33±0.96%) was observed in the cuttings grown in media of Coco peat : FYM : Vermicompost (2:2:1). The maximum rooting (44.50±1.85 %) in the cuttings prepared from seedlings of less than 5 years old and 33.75 ± 1.49 % rooting in the cuttings prepared from 10-20 years old plantation, were recorded in the month of May. Based on the present investigation, it is concluded that the plant growing media having the composition of Coco peat : FYM : Vermicompost (2:2:1) is more appropriate and recommended for growing cuttings of Kusum. Moreover, the month of May is highly recommended for growing cuttings of Kusum for maximum success. Regarding selection of mother plant, it is advised to select the Kusum plant from the plantation aged less than five years old.

“…Bark extract was reported to cure gynecological disorder, inflamed skin and ulcers (Mohapatra and Sahoo, 2008). Previous phytochemical study led to isolation of phenolic compounds, fatty acids, tannins, hydroxyl sterols and triterpenoids from this plant (Goswami and Singh, 2017). Bioactive triterpenoids isolated from S. oleosa bark exhibited antimicrobial potentials against bacterial and fungal pathogens (Ghosh et al, 2011).…”

Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken. is a medicinal plant of Bangladesh with enormous traditional applications in folk medicine. The current study was designed to isolate the secondary metabolites by successive chromatographic separation of n-hexane and dichloromethane soluble fractions of a methanol extract of leaves of S. oleosa. A total of four compounds were separated and identified as 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone, stigmasterol, lupeol and betulinic acid. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by analysis of their 1H NMR data and comparison with published values. Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 24(1): 33-36, 2021

“…The leaves are used as fodder for domestic animals [1,2], whereas the bark paste is used for the treatment of malaria and dysentery. In the Himalayan area of Nepal, the fruits are used traditionally as anthelmintic [3], and the seed oil is used for acne, itching, hair growth, and burns; moreover, the whole plant is used as antidiabetic traditionally [4].…”

Objective: The present study deals with the effects of Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Oken leaf extracts on helminths and alpha-amylase inhibition. Identification of phytochemicals and physicochemical analysis were also performed.Methods: Different concentrations (25, 50, and 100 mg/ml) of petroleum ether, acetone, chloroform, ethanol, and aqueous extracts of the leaf were used to examine the effects. For the evaluation of in vitro anthelmintic activity, several earthworms (Eisenia fetida, Perionyx excavates, and Pheretima posthuma) and nematode (Ascaridia galli) were taken, while albendazole was used as a standard drug and Tween 80 (3%) in normal saline (0.9% NaCl) was considered as a control treatment. In vitro alpha-amylase inhibition of different extracts (10–100 mg/ml) was done spectrophotometrically by dinitrosalicylic acid - starch azure method.Results: The ethanolic extract showed the maximum presence of phytochemicals among all the extracts, which included alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponin glycosides, phenolic compounds, resins, and amino acids. The outcomes of the determination of physicochemical parameters and fluorescence characters provided the satisfactory results. Significant anthelmintic activity was established by the ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaf among all the extracts and the responses, so observed, were dose responsive. Inhibition of alpha-amylase by ethanolic and aqueous extracts was significant with the IC50 value of 36.63 and 73.94 μg/ml, respectively, when compared to standard acarbose.Conclusion: The ethanolic extract was the more potent candidate for both the effects, and the effect of extract was best against A. galli, P. posthuma, and E. fetida at higher concentration. Isolation and characterization of therapeutic constituents would be the future interest.
