“…As expected, the specific gravity of the fixed oil (0.982) was found to be higher than the specific gravity for the extracted essential oil (0.692 and 0.671, respectively for fresh and dried peels). The yield of essential oil from fresh peels of C. macroptera fruits was comparable to the yield of 0.12 % reported from Bangladesh [17] and lower than 0.53 % reported from Manipur, India [14] .…”

Natural products include those chemical compounds and substances obtained from plants, animals and minerals. They are the backbone on which all the traditional system of healing around the globe depended on. The use of plants and their parts along with oils derived from them as food, medicine and in religious practices was observed in both the eastern and western civilizations [1]. In recent years, consumers have also developed more and more interest in natural products due to their perceived safety over synthetic chemical compounds. As a result, products such as essential oils have garnered great popularity in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries [2]. Essential oils are basically low molecular weight, volatile and complex compounds characterized by strong odour [3]. These can be synthesized by different parts of the plant organs and play diverse roles in the plant's defense system as well as reproduction. The International Organization for Standardization has reserved the term 'essential oil' for those products obtained from vegetable raw materials through mechanical or physical process only (pressing or distillation) [2]. As such, several essentials oils have also been classified into generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration [1]. Essential oils are interesting compounds in that these possess various biological properties, exerting activities on human, animals and other plants. Studies in recent times have shown antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal and antioxidant properties of essential oils obtained from various plants making them a promising, eco-friendly control system for microorganisms [4-9] .

“…Swingle (family: Rutaceae), commonly known as 'lime', cultivated extensively in tropical and subtropical countries mainly for its use as a food item or food additive, is also medicinally best known throughout the world as a remedy that relieves fevers, sore throat, coughs, common cold and indigestion (Fukumoto et al, 2006;Dr Duke's Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Databases, 2010;GRIN Taxonomy Database, 2010). As part of our continuing phytochemical and pharmacological studies on Citrus species (Sarker et al, 2008;Miah et al, 2010), this is a report on the assessment of the effects of lime (C. aurantifolia) essential oils in preventing ketotifen-induced weightgain in mice. hence it was necessary to assess the essential oil further using GC-MS (Fukumoto et al, 2006;Nguyen et al, 2009;Razavi et al, 2009).…”

Obesity is a major health problem world-wide. Medical intervention is often needed to tackle this problem, and accordingly the need for developing more effective, safer and cheaper weight reducing drugs has become paramount in recent years. In the present study, the effects of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) essential oils in reducing body weight, individually and in co-administration with ketotifen, an antihistaminic drug that causes weight gain, has been investigated using a mouse model. During the 45 days experimental period, the mice that received ketotifen demonstrated an enhancement both in the amount of food intake and body weight compared with the control group. Groups treated with lime essential oil displayed a reduction in body weight and food consumption in mice, possibly through promoting anorexia which might have played a role in weight loss. Interestingly, co-administration of the lime essential oil and ketotifen caused significant suppression in gaining weight, as well as decreased body weights of mice. The data obtained in this study suggested that lime essential oil plays an important role in weight loss and could be useful in the treatment of drug-induced obesity and related diseases. The GC-MS analysis of the essential oils of C. aurantifolia was also performed and approximately 22 main components, with limonene (28.27%) being the principal one, were identified and quantified.

“…While previous bioactivity studies on this plant revealed its analgesic, anti-infl ammatory, antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, antimalarial, antihepatotoxic activities, and antidiarrheal and wound-healing properties (Umachigi et al, 2007;Alam et al, 2008a,b), the phytochemical investigations resulted in the isolation of indole alkaloids, secoiridoids, triterpenes and saponins from this plant (Banerji, 1977;1978;Brown & Chapple, 1976;Kitagawa et al, 1996;Sahu et al, 1999;. In continuation of our phytochemical and pharmacological screening of Bangladeshi medicinal plants (Uddin et al, 2005(Uddin et al, , 2007aDatta et al, 2007;Nayeem et al, 2006;Saha et al, 2007;Alam et al, 2008a,b;Mazid et al, 2009;Ara et al, 2010;Miah et al, 2010), we report on the hypoglycemic and oxidative stress-reducing activities of the hydroethanolic extract of the flowering tops of A. cadamba in alloxan-induced diabetic rats.…”

Abstract:The hydroethanolic extract of the flowering tops of Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb.) Miq., Rubiaceae, a Bangladeshi medicinal plant, was studied for its potential hypoglycemic effect and antioxidant property in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. The extract induced significant reduction in serum glucose, and transaminases, e.g. aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatases (ALP), activities. Significant changes in the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), peroxidase and catalase levels during the experimental period were also observed. The results established that the hydroethanolic extract of the flowering tops of A. cadamba possesses hypoglycemic property and is able to protect liver and brain from oxidative damages caused by diabetes.
