“…The presence of different cell contents can also aid in the delimiting the species as seen in the current study tannin cells were present only in C. auriculata; stone cells were seen in C. spinosa only; rosette crystals were documented only in A. salviifloium whereas prismatic crystals were seen only in C. auriculata and C. spinosa. The presence of stratified phellem, rhytidome, calcium oxalate crystals and uni to triseriate medullary rays in the root bark of A. salviifolium is in accordance to the previous study 33 . The detailed macro-microscopic examinations of the three important root bark drugs were carried out, of which C. auriculata and C. spinosa is the first-hand report.…”

Siddha system of therapeutic medicine is largely practiced in the South India and is identified to be very closely related to Tamil civilization. A large number of plants are used for the manufacturing of formulations which are prescribed for various ailments. Root barks possess wide chemical compounds which has immense biological activity and medicinal values. Transformation of the crude drugs into medicine requires quality assurance to the upmost. Aim: Macro-microscopic detailing of three important root bark drugs in Siddha, Alangium salviifolium (L.f.) Wangerin (Azinjil verpattai) Senna auriculata (L.) Roxb. (Aavaram verpattai) and Catunaregam spinosa (Thunb.) Tirveng (Marukkarai ver pattai) has been proposed in the current research. Methodology: The root barks were subjected to morphological, anatomical and powder microscopic studies, with the help of Nikon ECLIPSE E200 trinocular microscope attached with Nikon COOLPIX5400 digital camera, following pharmacopoeial procedures. Results: Macroscopically the barks differed in their organoleptic characters. All the three samples showed distinct cork, cortex and phloem region but differed in the number of layers. Stones cells were present in only C. auriculata and C. spinosa. C. auriculata and C. spinosa contained tannin cells. The powder microscopy revealed the presence of different types of crystals in the three species druses in C. auriculata, prismatic in C. spinosa and C. catunaregam is rhomboidal. Discussion: The colour, cracks, fissures and fractures possess affordable useful characters in addition to the macro microscopic character for the identification. The detailed morphology, anatomy and powder microscopic characteristic features of root barks will prove to be an essential database for the accurate identification of these drugs. Conclusion: As these root barks form the major ingredients of a large number of Siddha formulations the study will substantiate to be a great contrivance in their correct identification.

“…Intra-peritonial administration of the non-polar extracts of A. salvifolium flower at a dose of 10 mg/Kg, mimicked the anti-cancer activity of bleomycine in EAC bearing mice 18 . Biologically active ingredients of A. salvifolium include flavinoids, glycosides, alkaloids and saponins 19,20 . Nine protoberberine alkaloids have been isolated from A. salviifolium, among which, 27-O-trans-caffeoylcylicodiscic acid (3) and myriceric acid B (4) exhibited cytotoxic activity towards the MOLT-3 cell line, while 3-O-demethyl-2-O-methylalangiside (5) selectively inhibited the growth of the HepG2 cancer cell line 21 .…”

Phyto-chemicals are increasingly being used in the treatment of cancer because of their availability, potential anti-cancer activity with less adverse effects when compared with chemotherapy. The variation of climate and geography in South Asian countries provides a nursing environment for the growth of versatile plant species, that are repeatedly drawing attention of the scientific community. In this review, we have focused on the anti-cancer potential of thirty plants, which are commonly found in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, with their mechanisms of action. In particular, we have discussed the bio-active components that display anti-cancer activity, which have been identified in these plants. This review may help researchers to profile plants with known anti-cancer effect of this region and further investigations of anti-cancer agents in medicinal plants from South Asia.
