“…According to the results of a recent study, hydroethanol extract of young seedless pods of A. nilotica has antiulcer activity in pylorus ligation, swimming stress, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induced rat ulcer models (Bansal & Goel, 2012). The results of a study clearly revealed that methanol and acetone extracts of A. nilotica (flowers) showed stronger anti-H. pylori activity than metronidazole, and almost the same activity as tetracycline.…”

Context: Helicobacter pylori is a small, spiral, Gram-negative bacillus that plays a role in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases ranging from asymptomatic gastritis to gastric cancer. Schedule compliance, antibiotic drug resistance, and side-effects of triple or quadruple therapy have led to research for novel candidates from plants.Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review the most potent medicinal plants of recently published literature with anti-H. pylori activity. For centuries, herbals have been used by traditional healers around the world to treat various gastrointestinal tract disorders such as dyspepsia, gastritis, and peptic ulcer disease. The mechanism of action by which these botanicals exert their therapeutic properties has not been completely and clearly elucidated. Anti-H. pylori properties may be one of the possible mechanisms by which gastroprotective herbs treat gastrointestinal tract disorders. Materials and methods: Electronic databases such as PubMed, Google scholar, EBSCO, and local databases were explored for medicinal plants with anti-H. pylori properties between 1984 and 2013 using key words ''medicinal plants'' and ''Helicobacter pylori'' or ''anti-Helicobacter pylori''. Results: A total of 43 medicinal plant species belonging to 27 families including Amaryllidaceae,

“…The results reflect the potential of fodder plants used by the indigenous people of Purulia district in animal husbandry. Earlier ethnobotanical excursions were carried out in the area and plants were reported as active against gastrointestinal problems, snake venom and as potential Chaudhary and Sotohy et al (1997) Gastroprotective (Bansal and Goel, 2012), Taparia (1990) antioxidant (Maldini et al, 2011) Ailanthus excelsa Roxb.

An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the Purulia district, India in order to explore the use of plants as fodder as a part of the traditional livestock husbandry practiced by the aboriginal groups such as Santhal, Bhumija, Munda, Oraon, Birhor, Mal Paharya, Kharia, Kharwar, Gond and Ho. A total number of 103 informants (78 males and 25 females) were chosen for the interviews and 33 ethnobotanicals were reported as fodder plants for the domesticated animals. Poaceae and Moraceae represent maximum number of forage plants (6 each) whereas, leaves represent the most prolific plant part consumed by the animals. Aspects such as nutrient and anti-nutrient content, pharmacological and neutraceutical significance of the forage plants were added which reflects the scientific and economic aspects of such folkloric uses.

“…[25] The antioxidant activity of the polyphenolic components were attributed mainly to their redox properties, which allow them to act as reducing agents, hydrogen donators, singlet oxygen quenchers and also have metal chelating properties. [26] However, in addition to their antioxidative property, polyphenolics also have other specific biological activities which are proven to be effective in the treatment of gastric ulcers, [27] cancer and cardiovascular disease. [28] Most of the Potentilla species such as P. fulgens, P. alba, P. fruticosa, P. freyniana, P. chinensis, P. fragarioides, P. viscose, P. erecta, P. anserina, P. argentea, P. aurea, P. palustris, P. reptans and P. tabernaemontani has been well proven scientifically to have antioxidant property in various in vitro and in vivo models.…”

Background: Potentilla mooniana Wight. (PM) (Family: Rosaceae) is a plant commonly grown at the higher altitudes (1500-3660 meter) of the lower Asian continent and is traditionally used to treat gastric and mouth disorders. The present study was aimed to scientifically develop a standard monograph for PM on the basis of pharmacognostical and phytochemical aspects. Methods: Pharmacognostically the roots were analyzed following the standard parameters prescribed under WHO guidelines and Indian Herbal Pharmacopoeia. Results: Morphologically, the roots are cylindrical, dark brown and astringent to bitter in taste. Histologically, the root section showed the formation of secondary growth with wood formation and central lignified xylem vessels. Physicochemical standards quantified includes foreign organic matter (1.20% w/w), loss on drying (9.66% w/w), total ash (12.65% w/w), acid insoluble ash (4.65% w/w), water soluble ash (0.5% w/w), alcohol soluble extractive (21.3% w/w), water soluble extractive (14.6% w/w), foaming index (142.85), swelling index (6.5), haemolytic index (37.77). Quantification of pesti cide residue content and heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Zn and Hg was analyzed and were found to be present within the permissible limits. Powdered drug showed the presence of lignified xylem vessels with scalariform and spiral thickenings, tracheids, starch grains and fibres. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, saponins, sugars, and amino acids. Quantification of phytoconstituents were also investigated such as phenolics (84.15mg/g tannic acid equivalent, TAE), tannins (65.31mg/g TAE), flavonoids (9.53mg/g rutin equivalent, RE), flavonols (2.01mg/g RE), saponins (20.75mg/g diosgenin equivalent, DE), sapogenins (15.4mg/g DE) and carbohydrates (56.8mg/g D-fructose equivalent). TLC of the root extract was also analyzed in the present study. Conclusion: In conclusion, the diagnostic characters obtained from the roots of P. mooniana will provide beneficial information in identifying and comparing this plant from other closely related Potentilla species.
