Traditional medicines are becoming crucial and decisive role in the prevention and cure of diseases and disorders. Traditional medicines have various pharmacological activities which important for human health. Bombax Ceiba widely used from past decades for the treatment of diseases and disorders. Bombax ceiba is usually referred to as kapok tree and moca, which belongs to Bombacaceae. Moca is a crucial medicative, plant widely found in a tropical and subtropical Asian country like India, Pakistan. Various scientific studies or medicative usage has been reported within the traditional systems of drugs like Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani. Owing to this widespread attention about traditional medicines, scientific validations of medicinal plants have become a thrust area of research. In this paper, the scientific validation of Bombax ceiba for various biological activities has been reviewed with its chemical constituents present in the whole plant and with its traditional and contemporary uses. This manuscript also provides deep inside of recent patents associated with Bombax ceiba in the past decade.

“…The total phenolic content of various extracts of the sample (T. portulacastrum leaves) was determined using Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent with minor modifications to the method described by Singleton and Rossi. 20,21 1mg/ml of each extract of the sample was taken in separated test tubes. Each test tube received 5ml Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent (1:10 v/v distilled water) and 4ml sodium bicarbonate solution (75 g/l).…”

Trianthema portulacastrum L. commonly known as ‘horse purslane’ and locally called ‘shvetapunarnava’ is an annual broadleaf plant of tropical areas throughout the world. In this study, determination of moisture and ash content of the plant leaves, as well as qualitative phytochemical test, cytotoxicity assay, antimicrobial activity, fatty acid composition, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, total antioxidant capacity, and DPPH radical scavenging activity were carried out. Methanol extract of T. portulacastrum leaves was partitioned using Kupchan's method with different solvents of increasing polarity (n-hexane, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate). The moisture and ash contents of the leaves were (81.74±0.49)% and (31.05±1.36)%, respectively. Initial phytochemical screening of T. portulacastrum showed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, and tri-terpenoids. In fatty acid composition analysis, both bound fatty acids and free fatty acids were isolated from n-hexane extract that showed the presence of the highest percentage of palmitoleic acid (67.095% and 48.843%, respectively) and stearic acid (12.14% and 20.437%, respectively). Dichloromethane and methanol extracts were found to be cytotoxic on HeLa cells in cytotoxicity assay against Vero, HeLa, and BHK-21 cell lines. The highest phenolic content was observed in ethyl acetate extract (68.55±0.038 mg/g) and the highest flavonoid content was found in chloroform extract (477.01±0.104 mg/g). The DCM fraction revealed the highest total antioxidant capacity (284.99±0.113 mg/g), and the IC50 value for ethyl acetate extract was the lowest (110.35±0.160 μg/ml) of all the extracts. Dhaka Univ.

“…The antioxidant activity properties of the root extract are attributed to their high phenolic and tannin contents [ 152 ]. The aqueous soluble partition (AQSF) of the methanolic root extracts of B. ceiba scavenged DPPH radical with an IC 50 value of 3.33 μg/mL [ 153 ]. Further, the methanol and petroleum ether root extract of B. ceiba was reported to scavenge DPPH radical with IC 50 values of 144.77 and 214.83 μg/mL [ 155 ].…”

Plants belonging to the subfamily Bombacoideae (family Malvaceae) consist of about 304 species, many of them having high economical and medicinal properties. In the past, this plant group was put under Bombacaceae; however, modern molecular and phytochemical findings supported the group as a subfamily of Malvaceae. A detailed search on the number of publications related to the Bombacoideae subfamily was carried out in databases like PubMed and Science Direct using various keywords. Most of the plants in the group are perennial tall trees usually with swollen tree trunks, brightly colored flowers, and large branches. Various plant parts ranging from leaves to seeds to stems of several species are also used as food and fibers in many countries. Members of Bombacoides are used as ornamentals and economic utilities, various plants are used in traditional medication systems for their anti-inflammatory, astringent, stimulant, antipyretic, microbial, analgesic, and diuretic effects. Several phytochemicals, both polar and non-polar compounds, have been detected in this plant group supporting evidence of their medicinal and nutritional uses. The present review provides comprehensive taxonomic, ethno-pharmacological, economic, food and phytochemical properties of the subfamily Bombacoideae.
