“…Leaves are emollient and contain anthraquinone and aloe-emodin (Dey et al 1978). The seeds are purgative and show the presence of terpenes, alkaloids, and saponins (Bhattacharje and Das 1969). The seed extract exhibits antimicrobial activity (Rasadah et al 1998).…”

In vitro propagation of Oroxylum indicum Vent. was carried out using cotyledonary node explants. Among the different types of cytokinins used for culture establishment, 6-benzyladenine exhibited the best response with higher concentrations (8.87 µM or above) for inducing multiple shoots. Inclusion of indole-3-acetic acid (2.85 µM) into 6-benzyladenine-supplemented medium triggered a high frequency of response as well as a proliferation of shoots. The best medium for proliferation was Murashige-Skoog (MS) medium with 6-benzyladenine (8.87 µM) and indole-3-acetic acid (2.85 µM). However, incorporation of gibberellic acid (1.44 µM) was mandatory to enhance shoot elongation. Repeated subculturing of cotyledonary node and in vitro developed nodal segments in MS medium with 6-benzyladenine (4.44 µM) at 4-week intervals resulted in continuous mass multiplication of shoots without any evidence of decline. Root induction was best (91.6%) when MS strength was reduced to one-quarter and combined with α-naphthalene acetic acid (2.69 µM) and indole-3-acetic acid (5.71 µM), with a high survival rate (70-72%) of plantlets hardened in either soil rite or soil : sand : soil rite (1 : 1 : 2).

Careya arborea Roxb. (Lecythidaceae) is a significant medicinal plant known as kumbhi in Ayurveda. Though, most of the plant parts are used in traditional systems of medicine, bark and leaves constitute the important medicinal parts. The present review gives an account of the updated information on its phytochemical and pharmacological properties. The review reveals that numerous phytochemical constituents have been isolated from the plant possessing hepatoprotective, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticoagulant, analgesic, antidiarrhoeal and various other important activities. Leaves are used in filaria, colic, loose motions and ulcers. Bark is used as an antipyretic, abortifacient, antipruritic and in smallpox, urinary discharges and rheumatic pain. Since last few decades, extensive exploration has been done to establish the biological activities and pharmacology of the extracts and plentiful chemical constituents including flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids and many other have been isolated.
