“…The remaining families contain 1-4 species, 10 families (Combretaceae, Compositae, Dioscoreaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Malvaceae, Moraceae, Phyllanthaceae, Pteridaceae, Rhamnaceae and Rubiaceae) contribute 4 species (4 species in each family), likewise, 3 families contributed 3 species (3 species in each family), seven families contributed 2 species, 25 families contributed single species (Supplementary t. 7). Due to their greatest availability and distributional range, many tribes in India [ 46 , [49] , [50] , [51] ] as well as adjacent countries have already reported that the frequent usage of Leguminosae members [ 52 ].…”

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is recognized as a crucial risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Medicinal plants possess various biological properties for the treatment of diseases. Hence, the present study was carried out to collect ethnobotanical knowledge about medicinal plants used for the treatment of hyperlipidemia in Bushehr, South Iran. Methods: This study was performed in Bushehr, South Iran. Ethnobotanical information was collected through interviews and questionnaires among 25 traditional healers. Demographic information was also received from traditional healers. Ultimately, the data were analyzed in Excel. Results: Findings showed that eight medicinal plants from seven families were administrated for the management of hyperlipidemia. Our results also highlighted that the medicinal plants in the Asteraceae family (Cichorium intybus L. and Silybum marianum L. Gaerth.) exerted the most application in the management of hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, it has been concluded that aerial parts were the most usable part of the plant (50%). Seeds (25%), leaves (12.5%), and fruits (12.5%) were other usable parts of the medicinal plants. Moreover, it has been observed that decoction (56.25%) and fresh (43.75%) were the most important types of preparation methods for medicinal plants, respectively. Conclusion: According to the results, the studied medicinal plants showed beneficial effects against hyperlipidemia. Therefore, further studies about the biological role of active ingredients present in these medicinal plants could increase the acceptance of the use of these herbs.

Boswellia serrata Roxb. Ex Colebr is a popular medicinal plant used traditionally in herbal medicinal preparations to treat a variety of diseases. The purpose of the present investigation was to investigate the anti‐hemorrhoidal property of the bark extract of B. serrata (BS). For this, the sequential Soxhlet extraction method was carried out by using different solvents such as hexane, chloroform, and methanol. After the extraction, the obtained dry extracts were tested for quantitative determinations such as total alkaloid content (TAC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total phenol content (TPC), and total tannin content (TTC) for all the extracts. Moreover, in vitro antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and scavenging activity against 2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid (ABTS). Methanolic bark extract showed the highest TPC (67.10±1.83), TFC (372.73±4.45), TAC (9.732±1.06), and TTC (48.932±1.82), as well as the antioxidant assays DPPH (IC50=9.88 μg/ml) and ABTS (IC50=15.09 μg/ml). In this study, both LC–MS and GC–MS were performed to identify the chemical composition of all the extracts. Consequently, 19 compounds were identified by GC–MS and 27 compounds were identified by LC–MS analysis. The identified phytoconstituent(s) that could potentially interact with the target protein cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) (PDB: 4RRW) using molecular dynamics simulation and in silico docking were studied. Three compounds that have passed in drug‐likeness and ADME‐Tox properties are having more docking score than the standard. In this study, camptothecin, justicidin B, and taxiphyllin are identified as potential lead compounds with anti‐hemorrhoidal properties and may be helpful in the process of drug development and discovery of novel drugs. Hence, these results demonstrate that BS is a good source of pharmacologically active components with potential applications against hemorrhoidal disease.
