“…Bauhinia divaricata aqueous extract, known in Mexico as "pezunã de vaca", showed a relatively significant hypoglycemic effect in normal mice (Gupta et al, 1980), while the B. megalandra species inhibited the glucose intestinal absorption (Gonzalez-Mujica et al, 2003) in rats. However, the hypoglycemic activity of Bauhinia species has been most extensively researched in B. forficata.…”

Abstract:Medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine for several thousand years all over the world. In this sense, information from Brazilian ethnic groups on folk medicine have contributed to the discovery of pharmacological activities from various plant-derived agents potentially leading to the innovative drugs. The Caatinga (semi-arid) vegetation is a highly threatened biome, covering a vast area in northeastern Brazil and has suffered from strong human influence for many decades. Many plants species found in the Caatinga have been widely used in folk medicine and for commercial manufacturing of phytotherapeutic products. Thus, the present review aims to disseminate to the scientific community some known species of medicinal plants found in the Caatinga that have been studied and analyzed in pharmacological scientific assays. Among the species that stood out for their local importance and multiplicity of uses were: Amburana cearensisand Zingiber officinalis L. (gengibre). The present study shows that several herbal constituents from Caatinga plants, whose pharmacological actions have been well characterized, may be relevant candidates for future and innovative therapeutic development.

“…Bauhinia divaricata has been studied for its hypoglycemic activity and its aqueous extract (obtained from leaves) has shown a relatively significant hypoglycemic effect in normal mice. 11 The anti-hyperglycemic effect of ethanolic extract of Bauhinia tomentosa (Linn.) flower has been evaluated for the management of Streptozotocin induced diabetes, where significant reduction in plasma glucose level has been observed.…”

Objectives: The study aimed to isolate coumarin compound from Bauhinia purpurea bark. Method: The bark was extracted successively with methanol in a soxhlet apparatus. The crude mass was subjected to HPLC, as well as column chromatography and eluted with methylene dichloride -methanol system with increasing methanol ratio to isolate compound BP. Conclusion:Concluding from the interpretations of all the spectra, the compound BP was identified as 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy -2 -(3, 4, 5-trihydroxy phenyl) -4H-1 -benzopyran -4-one. This compound had been found worthy for pharmacological considerations.

“…The isolation of β-sitosterol, lupeol, kaempferol-3-glucoside and a 5, 7-dimethoxyflavonone-4-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside was also reported from the stem of the plant (Duret andParis, 1977, Gupta et al, 1980). A flavonol glycoside, characterized as kaempferol-3-glucoside, was isolated from stem of this plant (Gupta and Chauhan, 1984).…”

SUMMARYBauhinia variegata Linn (Mountain Ebony) is a medium-sized, deciduous tree, found throughout India, ascending to an altitude of 1,300 m in the Himalayas. The plant is widely used by the tribals throughout India and popular in various indigenous systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathy. Following the various traditional claims on utility of this plant in curing number of diseases, considerable efforts have been made by researchers to verify its utility through pharmacological screenings. The notable biological activities reported are anthelmintic, antiulcer, antitumour, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antigoitrogenic, hepatoprotective and haemagglutination. Industrially, the plant is widely used for the manufacture of wood wool board, production of tannin, oil, gum and fibre. The plant is also utilized for afforestation to conserve the nature. In this article, a comprehensive account of the cultivation, microscopy, phytochemical investigation, traditional and biologically evaluated medicinal uses of B variegata is presented.
