“…Even though, there are some of the side effects observed in the use of herbal drugs such as allergic reaction, burning sensation, constipation, dizziness, gastrointestinal upset, menstrual disorders and muscle spasms etc. have been reported by many researchers, 2 , 4 , 14 , 15 , 33 but the benefits are definitely more. Herbs are natural and safe as the herbal medicine acts in a synergised way where the side effects of the main active compounds are reduced by secondary compounds.…”

Thevetia peruviana is a medicinal plant used in the treatment of external wounds, infected area, ring worms, tumours etc. in traditional system of medicine. The aim of the study was to evaluate the wound healing potentials of T. peruviana leaves hexane (LH) and fruit rind (FW) water extracts and to prove the folkloric claims. The antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials could be important strategies in defining potent wound healing drug. Based on these approaches the current study was designed using incision, excision and dead space wound models with the biochemical, antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory marker analysis. The fruit rind water extract showed highest WBS of 1133 ± 111.4 g. The extracts in excision model retrieved the excised wound i.e. complete healing of wound at day 14. The hydroxyproline content of FW and LH treated dry granuloma tissue was increased to 65.73 ± 3.2 mg/g and 53.66 ± 0.38 mg/g, accompanied by elevations of hexosamine and hexauronic acid with upregulation of GSH, catalase, SOD, peroxidase and the down regulation of the inflammatory marker (NO) and oxidative stress marker (LPO) in wet granulation tissue was documented. Conclusively, both the extracts showed enhanced WBS, rate of wound contraction, skin collagen tissue development, and early epithelisation. Therapeutic wound healing effect was further proven by reduced free radicals and inflammatory makers associated with enhanced antioxidants and connective tissue with histological evidence of more collagen formation. The present research could establish T. peruviana as potential source of effective wound healing drugs.

HISTORYThe fermented beverage, pulque, was depicted in Native American stone carvings from 200 AD. 1 This native plant of Mexico and the southwestern United States was introduced into Europe during the 16th century as an ornamental plant, and now this plant occurs throughout the Mediterranean region. Agave species were an important food source and commodity for both prehistoric and historic Native American peoples across the Southwest and Mexico. Agave tequilana A. Weber (i.e., an Agave species other than the century plant) is an important distillation stock for tequila liquors.

An external base‐free, efficient, cost‐effective, and environmentally benign protocol has been developed for the one‐pot multicomponent synthesis of highly functionalized pyranopyrazoles and benzochromenes using water extract of Agave americana (century plant) leaf ash, a waste‐derived catalyst, at room temperature. Mild reaction conditions, high yield, easy isolation of products, eco‐friendly standards, and no chromatographic separation are the salient features of this protocol.
