“…Further to this, Akhtar et al (2018) also postulated that 100 μg/ml of methanolic extract of phalsa can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus , Salmonella typhi , Enterobacter aerogens, and Bordetella bronchiseptica. While a study by Rajagopal et al (2016) reported that methanolic extract of phalsa fruit inhibited two bacterial strains (Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus acidophilus ). Additionally, the study identified that saponins, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, coumarins, and anthraquinones compounds present in the fruit were responsible for antibacterial action.…”

“…An in vitro study by Rajagopal et al (2016) reported that methanolic extract of phalsa fruit showed antiarthritic activity when compared to acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin); the authors measured this using the protein denaturation method. Another recent study, conducted by Babu et al (2017), reported that phalsa leaves were very effective in the treatment of urolithiasis.…”

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Phalsa (Grewia asiatica L.) is a food plant originating from Southeast Asia, and is cultivated primarily for its fruit. Phalsa fruit is consumed raw or used as a drink or food additive. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo studies have found that extracts from various parts of phalsa plants (especially the fruit) possess strong antioxidant, radioprotective, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti‐inflammatory, anticancer, and cardio‐protective properties. However, despite the identification of numerous nutritional and health benefits of phalsa, research into nutraceutical applications of the plant are somewhat limited. Therefore, the objective of this review was to explore the pharmacological, nutritional, phytochemical, and other potential uses of the phalsa plant. Recommendations for food scientists, nutritionists, and members of other allied disciplines are provided to help direct future research into the production, value addition, preservation, and phytochemical characterization of phalsa. Moreover, its potential health benefits are highlighted, along with the underlying mechanisms of action. Practical applications The aim of the present review is to explore functional aspects of phalsa (Grewia asiatica L.) bioactive compounds, their role in improving health, as well as their possible application as a functional food ingredient.

The Chamorro healers of Guam have more than a thousand years of history of using herbs and medicinal plants for the treatment of common ailments. The objective of this study is to review the bioactive compounds and pharmacological properties of medicinal plants which are used for urinary tract health by local healers. Literature searches were performed using Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and SpringerLink, by using several keywords, including “medicinal plants in Guam”, “traditional uses”, “bioactive compounds”, “pharmacological properties”, and “urinary tract infections”. This review highlights the traditional uses, bioactive compounds, and pharmacological properties of five medicinal plant species, namely Euphorbia hirta, Phyllanthus amarus, Premna serratifolia, Psidium guajava, and Urena lobata. Phenolics, alkaloids, terpenoids, essential oils, and polypeptides are the leading secondary metabolites reported in different plant extracts, which have been found to have significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer properties. The therapeutic claims made about medicinal plants in Guam are well supported by the literature, having similar applications and pharmacological properties in other regions of the world. These medicinal plants have a lot of unexplored potential that might be utilized to develop more potent drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases, as well as food and herbal supplements.

Namun, jamu tersebut hanya bermanfaat sebagai pelancar ASI? Literatur review diperlukan untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut. Literatur review bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan simplisia penyusun uyup-uyup, metabolit sekundernya serta manfaat atau indikasi dari setiap simplisia tersebut. Literatur review dilakukan dengan melakukan pencarian artikel di Pubmed, Ebscohost dan Google Scholar. Artikel dipilih yang terbitan sepuluh tahun terakhir. Hasilnya adalah terdapat sepuluh (10) artikel yang mencantumkan simplisia penyusun dari uyup-uyup dengan kata kunci “uyup-uyup dan ibu menyusui” atau ‘uyup-uyup and breastfeeding’ atau ‘uyup-uyup and nursing mother. Simplisia penyusun uyup-uyup sangat bervariasi. Jumlah simplisia tiap ramuan adalah dua sampai sepuluh (2 – 10) simplisia untuk setiap ramuan, yang paling banyak berasal dari familia Zingiberaceae. Metabolit sekunder yang banyak terdapat dalam simplisia tersebut adalah golongan flavonoid dan polifenol. Simplisia tidak hanya sebagai bahan berkhasiat tapi juga sebagai corigen. Manfaat dari simplisia antara lain adalah sebagai lactagogum, antiinflamasi, antioksidan dan imunomodulator. Kata kunci: uyup-uyup, ibu menyusui, simplisia, metabolit sekunder, manfaat
