“…Metabolites secondary of the mangrove leaves infusion E. agallocha based on the results of the phytochemical screening, namely flavonoids and tannins. Some researchers state that the mangrove leaf E. agallocha contains flavonoids (Patra, 2009, Kumar et al, 2013 and tannins (Patra, 2009;Kumar et al, 2013;Kaliamurthi & Selvaraj, 2016).…”

Tilapia is fish consumption with some excess, that is has a high protein, non-cholesterol, the taste is delicious, affordable and easily cultivated. One of the problems in cultivating them is a disease because it can cause the death of the fish. Disease-causing factors can be derived from the bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila. The bacteria A. hydrophila can cause the death of fish until 80%-100% within 1-2 week and even many that are already resistant to several types of commercial antibiotics, so that the need to look for a new antibiotics source. The source of these antibiotics can be derived from nature because it is cheaper, safer and environmentally friendly. Mangrove Excoecaria agallocha has been known to have potential as an antibacterial, larvacide, and antifungal. This can be used as a source of antibiotics. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential of the mangrove leaves infusion E. agallocha in preventing the spread of disease in tilapia infected the bacteria and identify the compounds of secondary metabolite. This research was carried out from March-August 2018 and use approach posttest-only control group design (by comparing the treatment with the control group). The amount of treatment is five with three replicates. The dose used, namely 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%. The results showed that there was no difference in the influence of the mangrove leaves infusion E. agallocha against weight gain and survival rate of tilapia juveniles. The result of phytochemical screening indicates that E. agallocha leaves infusion contains tannins and flavonoids.

“…16–20), β -sitosterol (beta-sitosterol) 16 , β -amyrin 17 , α -amyrin 18 , ursolic acid 19 , and stigmasterol 20 are several phytosterols (plant sterols compounds) with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol. These compounds (Figures D 16 and 17 ) are derived from B. gymnorhiza, and B. sexangula [45, 63]. These sterols showed high anti-inflammatory activity, antidiabetic effects, inducing apoptosis, angiogenic effect, hypocholesterolemic activity, antioxidant effects, and anthelminthic and antimutagenic activities as reported by Soodabeh et al [64].…”

“…Kaliamurthi et al [44] reported on 33 medicinal plant species and documented the hypoglycemic and wound healing properties of plant species especially halophytes and its associates collected from the coastal village of Kodiyampalayam from Southeast coast of India. Kaliamurthi and Selvaraj [45] conducted several studies and elaborated the risk factors responsible for Type 2 DM including obesity, hypertension, smoking, physical inactivity, low education, dietary patterns, family history, and specific gene. Recently, researchers focused their interest on finding out the potential antidiabetic molecules from the medicinal plants to reduce the side effects caused by commercial drugs.…”

“…Antinociceptive effects of E. agallocha against chemically and thermally induced nociception was studied on Albino mice which received a dosage of 10, 15, 20, or 25 mg/kg of alkaline chloroform fraction (Alk-CF). Compared with controls, Alk-CF decreased the writhing numbers ( p < 0.01) in a dose-dependent manner [45]. Similarly, results showed an antinociceptive effect in mice of thillai flavonoid rutin [42].…”

Mangrove ecosystem has many potential species that are traditionally used by the coastal communities for their traditional cure for health ailments as evidenced by their extensive uses to treat hepatic disorders, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, anti-inflammation, anticancer, and skin diseases, etc. In recent times, the diabetes mellitus (DM), a serious physiological disorder all over the world, occur due to the relative or complete deficiency of insulin in the body, characterized by an abnormally high blood glucose level. India has a rich traditional knowledge on plant-based drug formulations that are protective and curative for many health ailments. In this context, we aimed to compile the works done on the antidiabetic activities of mangrove species from Indian coastal regions especially on Andaman and Nicobar Islands as well as some recent works reported from other countries. A total of 126 published articles and 31 mangrove species related pieces of information were gathered with reference to antidiabetic properties of mangroves. This review summarizes the chemical structures, molecular formula, molecular weight, and their biological activities with an aspiration that it might be helpful for the future bioprospecting industries who are interested in develop the natural drugs for DM.

Most important character of mangrove s is that they protect vulnerable coastlines from moving ridge activity because they hold the soil together and prevent coastal erosion. Mangroves shield inland orbit during violent storm and minimize damage. Many species in the mangrove forest have medicinal value. Diabetes mellitus is a serious physiological disorder due to relative or complete deficiency of insulin, characterised by abnormally high blood glucose level, which becoming a threat to the entire population of the world. Recently there is an increased interest to develop natural remedies for the treatment of diabetes since many synthetic drugs have serious side effects, many research was now undergoing to identify potent anti-diabetic agent from natural sources. Many mangroves found in Kerala has been reported to show potent anti-diabetic activity but only few plants are scientifically evaluated, investigation of these plants shows the presence of some unique class of compounds like flavonoids, triterpenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, tannins and polysaccharides. Thus mangroves and associated plants were the richest source of phytochemicals for curing diabetes and its associated complications. Present review emphasise on the potent anti-diabetic mangroves in Kerala which are still not properly utilised but have great value for developing a newer anti-diabetic agent
