“…Recently, the ethanol extracts of Strophanthus gratus and Tamarindus indica L. were shown to possess significant anti-inflammatory activity, with the concentration required to reduce carrageenan-induced edema in chicks determined to be greater than 100 mg/kg in both cases. All extracts tested in this work possessed better anti-inflammatory activity than the extracts of Tamarindus indica L. and Strophanthus gratus (Ofori-Baah et al, 2019, Borquaye et al, 2020…”

Unpleasant side effects associated with prolonged use of current anti-inflammatory drugs have necessitated a need for new drugs with limited side effects. Plants rich in antioxidants have been suggested as potential sources of anti-inflammatory compounds. Thus, the antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities of extracts of Reissantia indica, Grosseria vignei and Cissus cornifolia-medicinal plants with widespread use in folkloric medicine in Ghana-were evaluated in this study. The phytochemical composition and total phenolic content (TPC) of these extracts were determined using standard methods. Antioxidant potential was screened using the ferric reducing antioxidant activity, nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide scavenging, and the phosphomolybdenum assays. The anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated using an in vivo assay. Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides and coumarins were present in extracts of all three plants. The TPC of Reissantia indica (38.44 µg/g GAE) was twice that of Grosseria vignei (19.12 µg/g GAE) whereas Cissus cornifolia (7.59 µg/g GAE) had the lowest TPC. In all antioxidant tests, activities of the plant extracts varied in the order; Reissantia indica > Grosseria vignei > Cissus cornifolia, which was in agreement with the TPC data. All extracts exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activities, with the dose of extract required to cause half-maximal reduction in edema (ED 50 ) below 80 mg/ kg. Reissantia indica was the most potent anti-inflammatory extract with an ED 50 of 47.23 mg/kg. The ethanol extracts of Reissantia indica, Grosseria vignei, and Cissus cornifolia thus exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and may be important sources of novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents.

“…Administration of ethanolic extracts of T. indicus at a dosage of 25-50 mg/kg body weight of Wister rats has reduced the pro-inflammatory mediators and arthritis mediated cartilage (Komakech et al, 2019). Parts of T. indicus such as fruits, leaves, seeds, and seed coats has been reported for their antiinflammatory activities and the property has been attributed to phytochemicals such as tannins, saponins, glycosides, and flavonoids (Borquaye et al, 2020).…”

Fabaceae family is one of the largest and economically valuable groups of flowering plants, which have been reported as the thirdlargest plant family with 730 genera and more than 19,400 species (Rahman & Parvin, 2014). The economic value of the Fabaceae family has been attributed to the food crops such as soya bean, pea, chickpea, and alfalfa, which are highly rich in micronutrients, protein, and phytochemicals. As evidenced by recent literature, flowers belonging to a certain genus of this family including Cercideae,

“…In an effort to preserve the environment, tamarind tree bark can be used as a bioindicator of mercury pollution in the gold refining process, which causes air pollution (Rendra et al, 2022). The bark and root extracts have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity and confirm their use in folkloric medicine (Borquaye et al, 2020).…”

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.), a type of tropical plant that grows in Indonesia has various benefits and has been widely studied by various disciplines. The study of Tamarind as a source of ideas for art creation, on the other hand, has not been widely carried out. The aims of this study are: (1) To explain the process of creating Semarang batik motifs using the idea of Tamarind through the stylization of forms; (2) to analyze the shape of the Tamarind batik motif to strengthen the identity of Semarang’s local culture. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods to examine phenomena related to the creation process and the uniqueness of locality-based batik motifs on batik artisans in Semarang City. The data collection techniques used were observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The data that has been collected was analyzed interactively through data reduction, presentation, and conclusions with the scope of analysis in intra-aesthetic and extra-aesthetic studies. The results showed that: (1) Tamarind is a typical plant that is closely related to the toponym of the city of Semarang so it becomes a source of ideas for the creation of locality-based batik motifs through the stylization technique by Semarang batik artisans; (2) Visualization of the shape of the Tamarind batik motif that has been produced shows the diversity and uniqueness of the form as an aesthetic expression of the batik artisan in responding to the beauty of the natural and socio-cultural environment in Semarang City according to the level of knowledge and aesthetic experience. This research contributes to the batik artisan in exploring the diversity of local plant species as a source of ideas for creating environmentally-based batik motifs to strengthen the value of local cultural identity.
