“…Vitexin and isovitexin were identified in the AEC with standards. These flavonoids have been described in other plants as the genus Passiflora (Muller et al, 2005), Ochrocarpus and Arnebia (Prabhakar et al, 1981). Only an early report qualitatively described the effects of vitexin in vitro and in vivo as hypotensive, antiinflammatory and antispasmodic (Prabhakar et al, 1981).…”

“…There are many reports indicating biological benefits of these flavonoids and crude extracts of P. Foetida leaves. Vitexin exhibited potent hypotensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties [15]. Recently vitexin and isovitexin have been shown to effectively inhibit the formation of advanced glycationend products (AGEs) which are found to be implicated in diabetic complications [16].…”

Passiflora foetida (Passifloraceae), known as Stinking Passion Flower, is an herbaceous climber that is found throughout the Odisha state of India. It has been widely used in traditional medicine of the state for the treatment of different types of diseases and disorders. It has rich pharmacological values particularly in mental disorder and possesses numerous bioactive compounds such as vitexin, luteolin, apigenin, etc., which may be responsible for its bacteriocidal, antidysentric, antilithicand other effects. Keeping its richness in the state of Odisha and reported pharmacological values, an attempt has been made to document some common uses of this vine among the rural and tribal communities of the state through the field survey for collection of ethnobotanical values. In addition, extensive literature survey was carried out to highlights the sound pharmacological values of P. foetida L.
