“…Other study showed that when administrated to pregnant rat toxic principle of I. carnea to pass through the placenta promoted decreased body weight, thymus atrophy and spleen enlargement in pups (Hueza et al, 2003b). Ipomoea carnea also promotes changes in lymphocyte distribution of young rats (Pípole et al, 2010). From latex of I. carnea was found a new chitinase, a digestive enzyme that break down glycosidic bonds in chitin (Patel et al, 2009;.…”

Approximately 600-700 species of Ipomoea, Convolvulaceae, are found throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Several of those species have been used as ornamental plants, food, medicines or in religious ritual. The present work reviews the traditional uses, chemistry and biological activities of Ipomoea species and illustrates the potential of the genus as a source of therapeutic agents. These species are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of several diseases, such as, diabetes, hypertension, dysentery, constipation, fatigue, arthritis, rheumatism, hydrocephaly, meningitis, kidney ailments and infl ammations. Some of these species showed antimicrobial, analgesic, spasmolitic, spasmogenic, hypoglycemic, hypotensive, anticoagulant, anti-infl ammatory, psychotomimetic and anticancer activities. Alkaloids, phenolics compounds and glycolipids are the most common biologically active constituents from these plant extracts.

Historically, plants have provided a source of novel drug compounds as plant derived medicines have made large contributions to human health and well being. Wounds are essentially the disruption of functional continuity of cells and tissues at the site of injury, and can be caused by insults to the tissue sites by physical, chemical, microbiological or immunological process. During the last two decades, there has been increased interest to assess the utility of plant extracts in wound healing and to gain more insight into the active constituents that promote or modulate the healing process. One such Indian wound healing medicinal is I.carnea jacq., which is widely distributed throughout India and in many parts it is cultivated as hedge plant. In Indian indigenous medical practice, the leave of this plant is used to treat wounds along with oil. Research related to the wound healing property of this plant is meagre and collection of information regarding this plant might be useful to investigate the wound healing potential and therapeutic mechanism of I. carnea and also to develop a novel wound healing drug from this plant. Hence in this review, we have given the summation of literature regarding this plant.
