Cissus Quadrangularis L A review on phytochemical and pharmacological aspects of Cissus quadrangularis L. TICLE R Monokesh Kumer Sen, Biplab Kumar Dash Department of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology, Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh A Cissus quadrangularis L. (Vitaceae) is a common perennial climber, which is distributed throughout Bangladesh. Though almost all of its parts are used in traditional systems of medicines seeds, stem, roots and shoots are the most important parts which are used medicinally. The article reveals that wide numbers of phytochemical constituents have been isolated from the plant which possesses activities like anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, gastro-protective, antioxidant, antimicrobial and various other important medicinal EVIEW properties. The stem juice of plant is used in menstrual disorders, epistaxis and leaves is used against bowel infections. For the last few decades or so, extensive research work has been done to prove its biological activities and pharmacology of its extracts. The current R review deals with the enormous amount of updated information of scientific research and reports available in different aspects of this plant involving phytochemical and pharmacology. This review also includes reports on taxonomy, morphology, monographs, distribution, tissue culture and traditional medicinal uses of the plant.

Flowering and vegetative period samples were analyzed. Aqueous (hot and cold) and solvent extracts (acetone, chloroform and methanol) were screened. Among them chloroform was observed to recover bioactive principles with low MIC and MLC. MIC and MLC was 40 µg/ml for flowering period. Whereas for vegetative period MIC was 40 µg/ml and MLC was 40 µg/ml respectively. Extracts from samples collected during flowering period were better than that of vegetative period. The results confirm the traditional use of the plant in PUD. KEYWORDS: Cissus quadrangularis, PUD, ulcer, Helicobacter pylori, Vitaceae.

Though this medicinal plan is abundantly used in India, detailed studies are lacking on the variants and seasonal variations, which are to be addressed. The present study is carried out to evaluate the antiulcerogenic property of aqueous ethanolic extracts of the aerial parts in various ulcer models in animals. The study clearly elucidated that the drug was found to increase the defensive factors by virtue of its ulcer score, carbohy- drate protein ratio and decrease in aggressive factors like free acidity, pepsin apart from other biochemical parameters.
