“…Polyphenol extracts from Aframomum melegueta, Zingiber officinalis and Myristica fragrans exhibited antiglycation and antioxidant potentials [7]. Muralidhar et al [8] reported anti-radical activity of bioactive components in Decalepis hamiltonii. Also, reactive scavenging activity of the total phenolic content from different parts of Carica papaya was reported by Maisarah et al [9].…”

Mondia whitei (Periplocaceae)is an aromatic plant used as aphrodisiac and for the treatment of urinary infection, jaundice, headache and diarrhoea in Nigeria. The plant was screened for phytochemical components using standard techniques. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the plant were evaluated. The free radical scavenging activity was determined by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The antimicrobial activity of M. whitei extracts against nine clinical isolates was determined by agar well diffusion method. Data were statistically analysed. The root was richer in saponins and tannins than the leaf whereas the leaf contained more flavonoids. The root gave 47.23% inhibition against DPPH+. There was positive correlation between the polyphenolic content and the antioxidant activity of the plant parts. At 300mg/ml, the water extracts of both the leaf and root were more active than the ethanolic extracts. The higher antimicrobial activity of the water extract could be attributed to the solubility of active constituents of the plant in water. The root showed higher antioxidant and antimicrobial activities than the leaf. M. whitei root could be very effective in the management of metabolic and infectious diseases. However, toxicological studies will confirm its safety in administration.

“…It is used as a substitute for Hemidesmus indicus and contains important constituents like quercetin, kaempferol, coumarin and rutin (Anonymous 2002 ). The root also contains an important chemical constituent known as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde which is an isomer of vanillin (Thornell et al 2000 ;Muralidhar et al 2014 ;. It possesses bioinsecticidal (George et al 1998 ) and antimicrobial activity (Reddy et al 2002 ).…”

Biotechnological Strategies for the Conservation of Medicinal and Ornamental Climbers

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Woody climbers or lianas are one of the important assets of nature upon which rely many folk and traditional systems of medicine. The increasing need and demand with growing population and thoughtless utilisation of natural products, so far, have resulted into a dwindling population of many plant species. In the present scenario, increasing health issues, hazardous effects of synthetic drugs and thus the preference of natural products over synthetic one, is questioning the survival of many valuable medicinal plant species. Moreover, their own growth pattern, reproductive behaviour and maturation time are the key issues for which fast alternative propagation methods are sought. Advances in the fi eld of biotechnology have opened fresh avenues for replenishment and conservation of such high value plantsplant tissue culture (PTC) or in vitro technique is one among them. In vitro techniques like adventitious shoot regeneration, somatic embryogenesis, bioreactors and fermentation process have speed up regeneration time manyfold. The techniques like protoplast culture, micrografting and genetic transformation have been implied for variety improvement, whereas cryopreservation, slow growth methods and synseed production have been reported for long-term storage of germplasm and their exchange. Thus, PTC justifi es a great deal of contribution in conserving the wealth of nature proving itself a reliable technique in plant biodiversity conservation. Nowadays laudable attempts have been done for the conservation of various useful medicinal climbers through PTC such as Salacia
