Ethno-medicinal Informations from Orissa State, India, A Review

Antidiabetic and in vitro antioxidant potential of Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F. Muell in streptozotocin–induced diabetic rats

“…Based upon the ethnopharmacological reports of the treatment of diabetes with this plant, the present study was carried out to determine the protective effects of AHE on diabetic complications and thus, to validating its traditional use [7] . Further AHE showed significance antioxidant potential in in vitro model.…”

“…The plant is used as an aphrodisiac, demulcent, tonic, diuretic, anti-convulsant and antimalarial and used to treat urinary infections, diarrhoea, leucorrhoea, dysuria, inflammation and male sterility [5,6] . The plant is used by some tribe in Orissa to cure diabetes [7] . In Ayurvedic literature, the plant is reported to cure conditions of "Kapha" and "Pitta", urinary calculi, strangury, painful dysentery, vomiting, burning sensation, wandering of the mind, urethral discharge, blood trouble, asthma, epilepsy, cough, and to give tone to the breasts [8] .…”

Evaluation of in vitro aldose reductase inhibitory potential of different fraction of Hybanthus enneaspermus Linn F. Muell

“…It contains good amount of phenol and flavonoid contents. It is used in the treatment of diabetes as well as an antioxidant, so on the basis of this data, the present study was carried out to determine the protective effects of different fractions of H. enneaspermus on aldose reductase enzyme system of rat lens to determine the potential anticataract effect of this plant [14,15] .…”

“…So the present study was aimed to evaluate the protective effects of different fractions of H. enneaspermus on diabetic complications such as aldose reductase inhibitory activity using rat lens [15] . Moreover, relationship between total phenol, flavonoid and its aldose reductase inhibitory potential was also investigated.…”

Comparative Study of Potential Anti-Cancerous and Cardio Protective Activities of Methanolic Leaf Extract of Cycleabarbata and Entadapursaetha

“…The powdered seed kernel can be given to women for post-delivery recuperation and cures cough and stomachache. The paste obtained from the kernel is used as a contraceptive (Das et al, 2003). This experiments were designed to evaluate the comparative in vitro anticancerous and cardioprotective activity of C. barbata and E. pursaetha methanolic leaf extracts.…”
