“…racemosa Linn is traditionally used to cause infertility and induce threatened abortion 14 . However, despite the abortifacient claim of B. arundinacea leaf and F. racemosa Linn bark in folklore medicine of India, there is no published scientific evidence that has either substantiated or refuted this claim.…”

Ethanol and hydroalcoholic (50%) extract of B. arundinacea leaves and 50 % ethanol extract of F. racemosa barks have been evaluated for antifertility activity in proven fertile rats at a dose of 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight. Plant extracts were tested for their effect on the estrous cycle at two dose level 200 and 400 mg/kg, respectively. Among these three extracts, the hydroalcoholic extracts of F. racemosa was found to be most effective in causing significant antiovulatory activity. The extract did not show any significant changes in structure and function of uterus when given alone, but when given along with ethinyl estradiol, it exhibited significant antiestrognic activity in immature female rats (P<0.001). Preliminary phytochemical screening of these two drugs shows the presence of carbohydrates, tannins, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, phenolic, terpenoids etc. Histopathological studies of the uterus were carried out to confirm the estrogenic activity.

“…Similarly, in different remote villages and adjacent forest areas of Moradabad district, 45 plant species of 43 genera belonging to 27 families of angiosperms have been recorded as folk veterinary medicines (Ali 1999). Likewise, a field survey of the Sitamata wildlife sanctuary of Chittorgarh and Udaipur district located in the south-west region of Rajasthan was carried out in order to document the medicinal utility of herbs occurring in this area (Jain et al 2005). Two hundred fourty-three genera belonging to 76 families have been reported which are used by the tribal peoples of about 50 villages around the sanctuary for primary health care to treat various ailments (Jain et al 2005).…”

Objective: Ageratum conyzoides Linn. (Asteraceae) has been widely used in African traditional medicine for healing mental and infectious diseases. The present study was designed to scientifically validate the traditional claim of A. conzyoides as anti-anxiety drug and to identify the compound responsible for the anxiolytic effects of A. conzyoides. Method: The methanol extract of A. conzyoides was prepared by soxhlet apparatus. The methanol extract was fractionated into ethylacetate and butanol fractions by liquid-liquid partitioning method. Methanol extract (100 and 200 mg/kg; p.o.) and its prepared fractions (25 and 50 mg/kg; p.o.) were evaluated for anxiolytic activity in mice by using elevated plus maze (EPM) model. Thin layer chromatography studies were performed to identify the possible anxiolytic component. Results: Methanol extract at both doses showed significant, when compared to vehicle control group, increase in time spent and number of entries in open arms of EPM confirming the anti-anxiety effects of A. conzyoides. Liquid-liquid partitioning of methanol extract gave two fractions (ethylacetate and butanol) which were administrated at 25 and 50 mg/kg doses to mice in EPM, respectively. Results showed that ethylacetate fraction was responsible for anxiolytic effects of methanol extract of A. conzyoides. The TLC studies were carried out for ethylacetate fraction and Quercetin was identified by comparing R f values with the standard (Quercetin). Conclusion:The present investigation revealed that the extract has significant anxiolytic effect. The flavonoid quercetin may be responsible for the observed anxiolytic effects of A. conyzoides.
