Ethnic communities are traditionally using wild plants in their day to day life for nutrition and medicinal requirements. Baccaurea courtallensis (Moottipazham Mal., family Phyllanthaceae) is one such wild plants used by tribals from different parts of westenghat region. It is a medium-sized endemic tree found in semi-evergreen and evergreen forests of Western Ghats, India. All parts of the B. courtallensis are documented to possess varied medicinal properties and used to treat stomach and mouth ulcer, diarrhoea, piles and dysentery by traditional healers. In the recent years, this tree has been analysed scientifically for supporting its traditional claims. The present review is an effort to revisit to scientific information on botanical characteristics, anatomy, ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacological activities of B. courtallensis based on research papers from portals including Web of Science, Google scholar and Scopus. People belonging to Paniya, Kani and Kurichya tribal groups of different forest regions are the important payees of the plant. Both primary and secondary metabolites are present in leaves and roots of the plant. Various bioassays conducted in the leaves of B. courtallensis show that the plant has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-hyperlipidemic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. The fruit of the plant shows significant antioxidant properties. This data compilation supports the basic perceptive of B. courtallensis and opens up new horizon for future research.

“…Antioxidant activity Among them, B. courtallensis root crude aqueous extract showed effective scavenging abilities against the free radicals by acting as hydrogen donors to scavenge DPPH free radicals with (IC50 1.0µg/ ml) [27][28][29][30][31]. The comparative study of another two underutilized fruits of Baccaurea genus, B. lanceolata and B. macrocarpa were in-vestigated for in vitro antioxidant properties, where it was found that B. macrocarpa (pericarp) showed the higher antioxidant activities than B. lanceolata in DPPH, ABTS and FRAP respectively [53].…”

Baccaurea is a genus of flowering plant belongs to the family Phyllanthaceae categorically large genus with members of up to 100 species and few of which have been recognized as popular healing plants in South-East Asia. (B. ramiflora), (B. angulata), (B. courtallensis), (B. macrophylla), (B. macrocarpa), (B. lanceolata), (B. racemosa) and (B. motleyana) are underutilized medicinal plants of the genus Baccaurea. The literature review revealed that Baccaurea species have been used traditionally in South-East Asian countries to treat various diseases. Baccaurea species have been believed to possess significant medicinal values like analgesic, anthelmintic, antioxidant, anti-diarrheal, antiatherosclerotic, anticancer, antidiabetic, neuropharmacological, thrombocytic, antimicrobial, etc. activities. Few species of the Baccaurea genus have demonstrated significant exposure to phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, carotenoids, tannins, phytosterols, saponins, phenolic compounds, steroids, rosmarinic acids, etc. Several bioactive constituents including 6′-O-vanilloylpicraquassioside D, 4′-O-(6-O-vanilloyl)-β-D-glucopyranosyl tachioside D, Icariside B5, picrotoximaesin, β-sitosterol, Sapidolide A, Daucosterol, methyl 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoate, quercetin, decanoic acid, etc. were also isolated and described from various species of Baccaurea. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the published article which is based on the medicinal values of different species of Baccaurea genus, provide updated information and knowledge on the ethnomedicinal, pharmacological and phytochemical properties and further phytochemical assessment opens a new prevalence, effectiveness in protection and clinical research.

This study is aimed to evaluate extraction capacity of different solvents through determining total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total saponin content, and an antioxidant assay of different solvent extracts (toluene, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol, water, 60% aqueous methanol, 60% aqueous ethanol and 60% aqueous acetone) of Asparagus racemosus (A. racemosus) root. The 60% aqueous methanol shows the highest extracting yield, in contrast, toluene shows the lowest yield. Highest total phenolic content (220.8±0.74mg GAE/g), total flavonoid content (219.3±0.64mg QCE/g), total tannin content (108.4±0.88mg GAE/g) were found from acetone extract. The methanol extract showed the highest saponin content (579.4±2.85mg ESE/g). Antioxidant potential determines by using various in vitro methodologies such as DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS assay. The lowest IC50 value was found in acetone extract and thus it exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. The highest correlation was found between phenolic content and the antioxidant assay. It seems that phenolic contents are responsible for free radicle scavenging activity. From the observation, it concluded that acetone extract rich with polyphenolic content and methanol extract shows the highest amount of saponin content.
