“…Ayurvedic literature as well as recent studies highlights the potential of MKL as an antidiabetic agent (Yadav et al, 2002;Adebajo et al, 2004Adebajo et al, , 2006Kesari et al, 2005). Leaf extract of Murraya koenigii have also been reported to posses antifungal, antineoplastic, nitric oxide scavenging and antioxidant activities (Das et al, 1965;Khan et al, 1996a;Chakrabarty et al, 1997;Khan et al, 1997;Ramsewak, et al, 1999;Tachibana et al, 2001;Baliga et al, 2003). Anti-oxidant, Antitumor, Anti-microbial and Anti-diabetic actives have been reported for some carbazole alkaloids, which were identified as the major compounds in Murraya koenigii leaves (Tachibana et al, 2001;Adebajo et al, 2004Adebajo et al, , 2006Ito et al, 2006).…”

SUMMARYMurraya koenigii leaves commonly known as 'curry patta' are routinely added to Indian gravy and vegetarian dishes by south Indian as a favourate condiment. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of Murraya koenigii leaves (MKL) on memory in rats. Elevated plus-maze and Hebb-Williams maze served as the exteroceptive behavioral models for testing memory. Diazepam-, scopolamine-and ageing-induced amnesia served as the interoceptive behavioral models. MKL fed orally to various groups of young and aged rats with diet containing 2, 4 and 8% w/w of MKL for 30 days consecutively were investigated. The MKL diets produced a significant dose-dependent improvement in memory scores of young and aged rats and significantly reduced the amnesia induced by scopolamine (0.4 mg/kg, i.p.) and diazepam (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Therefore, it would be worthwhile to specifically investigate the therapeutic potential of MKL in the management of dementia patients.

“…8 Murrayanine, girinimbine and mahanimbine isolated from the stem bark showed anti-fungal activity against human pathogenic fungi. 9 Essential oil and aqueous extract of leaf were found active against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species. Crude extract and chloroform soluble fraction and petroleum ether soluble fraction showed a promising antibacterial activity against all the tested bacteria.…”

“…Though Carbazomycin B was found to be most potent among the carbazomycins, both Carbazomycin A [1] and Carbazomycin B [2] inhibit the growth of phytopathogenic fungi and exhibit antibacterial and antiyeast activities (8). Inhibitory activity of Carbazomycin B [2] and Carbazomycin C [3] against 5-lipoxygenase were also observed (19). Carbazomycin G [7], having unique quinol moiety, shows antifungal activity against Trichophyton species (14).…”
