“…Generally, plants with medicinal values are known to play significant role globally particularly in the management and treatment of various chronic diseases. Potential beneficial effects are associated to okra and their components cardioprotective, renal protective, neuroprotective, anticancer, analgesic, antiulcer, antibacterial, and antifatigue [64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71]. It is worth mentioning the current review of Islam [72], which summarizes the phytochemical reports and biological activities of Abelmoschus esculentus L. from the database sources.…”

The main features of the okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.), are highlighted. The evaluation of interactions between biologically active compounds and other components of the food matrix can be considered as the first action in the investigation of potential benefits of this annual herb. Moreover, updated examples of current and innovative directions in an integrated and multidisciplinary approach are discussed, with particular attention to chemometrics. Among the main effects attributed to okra, its antidiabetic property is the focus. Finally, the use of okra in different fields will be discussed.

“…The leaves and barks of the plant are widely used by Siddha and Ayurveda practitioners for treating several conditions [11]. The plant materials are used to treat antiinflammatory [12,13], anti-microbial [14], antioxidant activities [15]. The medical usefulness of the tree is acknowledged by people living in the villages who take a decoction of the leaves and barks to get relief from rheumatic problems like pain and stiffness of the joints, especially affecting the knees [16].…”

Aims: To investigate the isolated flavonoid compound, characterization and antimicrobial activity of Quercetin-3-O-(2”-α-methyl-p-Coumaryl)-rutinoside from Delonix elata flowers. Place and Duration of Study: The research work was carried out at Research laboratory, Department of chemistry, Periyar E.V.R College, Trichy-23, between May 2016 to January 2018. Methodology: Extraction and fractionation was carried out from the solvents of ethanol, benzene, petroleum ether, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The structure of the isolated compound (Quercetin-3-O-(2”-α-methyl-p-Coumaryl)-rutinoside) was elucidated through their physical and chemical methods. The isolated compound was characterized by using various spectral data such as UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS. Four bacterial strains Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus and two fungal strains Curvularia lunata and Candida albicans were tested by using disc diffusion method. Conclusion: The present study was concluded that the dry sample of ethyl acetate fraction of Delonix elata flowers was Quercetin-3-O-(2”-α-methyl-p-Coumaryl)-rutinoside and it possesses effective antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.

The in-vitro antioxidant activity and protease activity of the latex of different plant sources, namely Tabernaemontana divericata, Croton bonplandianum, Plumeria rubra, Nerium oleander, Cascabela thevetia, Alstonia scholaris, Allamanda cathartica were analysed. The antioxidant activity was analyzed using DPPH (1-1, dipenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) reduction assay and protease activity was analyzed by the cleavage of milk protein, casein. From the results, it was observed that Croton bonplandianum latex has exhibited very strong and highest antioxidant activity (76±5.4%) followed by Allamanda cathartica (71±3.8%). Nerium oleander (62±4.2%) and Plumeria rubra latexes (58±2.9%) have showed good antioxidant activity. Cascabela thevetia (35±4.4%) and Tabernaemontana divericata latexes (28±3.0%) have showed moderate antioxidant activity. However, Alstonia scholaris latex has showed the least and negligible antioxidant activity (0.19±0.05%). The protease activity was found to be significantly highest in the Tabernaemontana divericata latex (4461.55±230 µg ml -1 ) followed by Cascabela thevetia (3307.7±284 µg ml -1 ). Good amount of the protease activity was found in Allamanda cathartica latex (1205.15±155 µg ml -1 ) followed by Croton bonplandianum (923.1±213 µg ml -1 ). Moderate amount of the protease activity was found in Nerium oleander (333.35±84 µg ml -1 ) and Plumeria rubra latexes (179.5±38 µg ml -1 ). However, least protease activity was observed in Alstonia scholaris latex (51.3±14 µg ml -1 ). The results revealed that almost all plant latex samples except A. scholaris have showed from moderate to strong antioxidant and protease activities. C. bonplandianum latex has exhibited significantly highest antioxidant activity and T. divericata latex has exhibited significantly highest protease activity.Native plant sources, latex, DPPH, antioxidant activity, protease activity
