Feasibility of the crude extracts of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius and Colocasia esculenta as intracanal medicaments in endodontic therapy in comparison to the 940 nm diode laser: An in vitro antimicrobial study

Complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Araceae)

“…Some Amorphophallus species can be important as edible and medicinal species, among which Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Dennst.) Nicolson, 1885 is a tuberous, robust indigenous herbaceous medicinal plant usually cultivated as a vegetable and readily available tuber plant (Hama Gharib and Salman 2023 ). A. paeoniifolius or elephant foot yam, also commonly called Suran or Jimikand, is a commercially important vegetable crop due to its high production potential that is cultivated commercially in some tropical and subtropical areas, including India, China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and in tropical regions of Africa (Hama Gharib and Salman 2023 ).…”

A. paeoniifolius has high medicinal value because of its tuber presence of different bioactive molecules, including lupeol, quercetin, gallic acid, β-sitosterol, and betulinic acid (Nataraj et al.…”

“…in traditional practices (Dey et al 2017 ). On the other hand, it has been demonstrated to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, as well as analgesic activities in pharmacological experiments (Hama Gharib and Salman 2023 ; Nayak et al. 2023 ).…”

“…Current research about Amorphophallus mainly focuses on pharmacological effects (Hama Gharib and Salman 2023 ; Nayak et al. 2023 ), konjac glucomannan characteristics (Devaraj et al.…”
