Biological investigations of different leaf extracts of Litsea liyuyingi (Family-Lauraceae)

Abstract

Abstract:In this present study, the leaf extracts of Litsea liyuyingi, were subjected to evaluate the phytochemical screenings, thrombolytic, membrane stabilizing, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antinociceptive, anti-diarrheal

The Analgesic Potential of Litsea Species: A Systematic Review

“…To the best of our knowledge, only one study has been conducted to determine the biological activities of L. liyuyingi. In the study, the leaf extract and fractions of L. liyuyingi demonstrated notable thrombolytic, membrane-stabilizing, antioxidant, antibacterial, antinociceptive, anti-diarrheal and hypoglycemic activities [22].…”

“…Litsea liyuyingi is an evergreen shrub species that can be found in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, North and South America and Australia [22]. It has alternating leaves with hairy branchlets and can grow up to 3 m tall [22].…”

“…Litsea liyuyingi is an evergreen shrub species that can be found in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, North and South America and Australia [22]. It has alternating leaves with hairy branchlets and can grow up to 3 m tall [22]. In Bangladesh, it is locally referred to as 'Pipulta' and has popular use in traditional medicine for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, leucorrhea and gestational diabetes [158][159][160][161].…”

“…Investigations on other compounds such as Conus venom peptides (MrIA, Contulakin G, Vc1.1, conantokin G), capsaicinoids, capsinoids and their synthetic analogues are also underway for development into new analgesics [19]. Despite these advances, progressive pharmacological investigations have continued to prospect other plant species as potential new sources of analgesic compounds including Litsea genus from the Lauraceae family [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Exploration of Anti-Diabetic, Anti-Diarrheal, Gastrointestinal Motility and Acute Toxicity of Different Extracts of Citrus Assamensis Leaf

“…However, due to unwanted side effects the efficacies of these compounds are debatable and there is a demand for new compounds for the treatment of diabetes (Naim et al 2012). The anti-diabetic agents from Citrus plants are very promising and traditionally acclaimed medicinal plants are being investigated for their antidiabetic potential (Kabra et al 2012;Peng et al 2009;Jung et al 2006;Gyo-Nam et al 2009;Ernawita et al 2016;Kundu Sen et al 2011;Wadkar et al 2008;Oyedepot and Babarinde, 2012;Laboni et al 2017).…”
