Dept. of Dravyaguna Vigyan, Patanjali Bhartiya Ayurvigyan Evam Anusandhan Sansthan, Haridwar, Uttrakhand, India Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Jyotiṣmatī is an important medicinal plant which belongs to Celastraceae family generally known as Mālakāṅganī or black oil plant and has been in use from ages. Botanically it is known as Celastrus paniculatus Willd. It is climbing in nature with long slender like branches which are brown in colour. Plant of Jyotiṣmatī is broadly used in Ayurvedic system of medicine to cure many diseases and symptoms such as arthritis, asthma, antipyretic, amenorrhea, anti-paralysis, thermogenic, intellect-promoting, leprosy, leucoderma, nephropathy, abdominal dis- orders, sores and treatment of snake bite. This plant is naturally used in the treatment of vaginal discharge, burn- ing sensation, blood purification, asthma, paralysis, abdominal disorders etc. The seeds of Celastrus paniculatus have very hot potency, which means seed powder produces heat in the body and gives feeling of warmness after its consumption. This effect generally appears with larger dosage of Mālakāṅganī. However, smaller dosage may also increase heat in the body, but upto tolerable level. Therefore, its higher doses are chosen to be used in winter season and lower dosage for hot season. Its lower dosage is effective in management of several diseases. Celastrine and paniculatine are the two alkaloids present in the seeds. Keywords: Celastrus paniculatus, Jyotiṣmatī, Medhya, Anti-depressent, Śirovirecana.

  • An Overview of Phytotherapeutic Approach in Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer’S Syndrome & Dementia
    Available online at www.ijpsdr.com International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research 2011; 3(3): 162-172 Review Article ISSN 0975-248X An Overview of Phytotherapeutic Approach in Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer’s Syndrome & Dementia Narendra Singh*, B. R. Pandey, Pankaj Verma International Institute of Herbal Medicine (IIHM), Gomtinagar, Lucknow – 226010, India ABSTRACT Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of the dementia which occurs among older people above the age of 60 years. The Alzheimer’s disease once considered a rare disorder and it is now seen as a major public health problem that is seriously affecting millions of older people and their families world over. The incidence of AD ranges from 1 to 4 percent of the population per year rising from its lowest level at ages 65 to 70 years to rates that may approach 6 percent for those over the age of 85 years. Alzheimer's is characterised by massive loss of neurons and disrupted signaling between cells in the brain. The disease can be diagnosed post mortem by observing tangles inside and senile plaques outside cells throughout the brain. The major component of the plaques is a small, 40- or 42-amino acid peptide: amyloid beta (Aβ,). Aβ, causative agent in Alzheimer's, was first suggested as the amyloid hypothesis about 15 years ago and is now widely accepted amongst scientific community. The first neurotransmitter defect discovered in Alzheimer disease involved acetylcholine (ACh). As cholinergic function is required for short term memory, the cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease is also believed to be responsible for much of the short term memory deficit.

It climbs up to over 10m. The leaves are ovate or elliptic in shape with dentate margin. Seeds are ellipsoid or ovoid, yellowish-brown in color and grow inside the capsules. Celastrus paniculatus (Malkangni) is used in Ayurveda as a nervine tonic, tranquilizer and diuretic and in rheumatism, gout, leprosy and asthma. Different Parts of Celastrus paniculatus after extraction and fractionation give different active constituents such as sesquiterpene esters-malkanguinol, malkangunin, sesquiterpene alkaloids-celapanin, celapanigin, alkaloids-celastrine, paniculatine, fatty acids-oleic acid, palmittic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid, crystalline substance tetracasanol and sterol. Different pharmacological activities are anti-rheumatic, anti-fungal, nootropic activity, antimalarial activity, anti spermatogenic effect, anti-anxiety and anti-atherosclerotic effect. In the present review, our target is to search, bring together and compile the data of Celastrus paniculatus, which have less side effects and very valuable for the treatment of rheumatism.

The present study was conducted Copraburi (CSG) and Kawa-Sarnd (KSG) sacred grove in Nayagram block of the Jhargram district under west Bengal, in appreciation of its role in biodiversity conservation. The study aimed at the documentation and inventory of sacred groves, its phytodiversity, social, ecological and economical role with mild threats. A total of 120 species belonging to 113 genera distributed 43 families from 24 orders were recorded from the sacred groves according to the APG IV (2016) classification, which covering 47, 26, 23, 24 species of herbs, shrubs, tree, climbers respectively. Moreover, both groves support locally useful medicinal plants for various ailments. This is the first ethnobotanical study in which statistical calculations about plants are done by fidelity level (FL) in the study area. Therefore, there is an urgent need not only to protect the sacred forest, but also to revive and reinvent such traditional way of nature conservation.

Field expedition and specimen collection was done and deposited at the herbarium of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology. 400 plant species from 271 genera 98 families were identified. Three species were pteridophytes, one species was gymnosperm, and 396 species were angiosperms. Flowering plants were categorized as Magnoliids 7 species in 7 genera 3 families, Monocots 106 species in 58 genera 22 families and Eudicots 283 species in 201 genera 69 families. Fabaceae has the greatest number of species among those flowering plant families. Keywords: Biodiversity, Conservation, Sa Kaeo, Species, Dipterocarp forest Introduction Deciduous dipterocarp forest or dried dipterocarp forest covered 80 percent of the forest area in northeastern Thailand spreads to central and eastern Thailand including Sa Kaeo province in which the elevation is lower than 1,000 meters above sea level, dry and shallow sandy soil. Plant species which are common in this kind of forest, are e.g. Buchanania lanzan, Dipterocarpus intricatus, D. tuberculatus, Shorea obtusa, S. siamensis, Terminalia alata, Gardenia saxatilis and Vietnamosasa pusilla [1]. More than 80 percent of the area of Burapha University, Sa Kaeo campus was still covered by the deciduous dipterocarp forest called ‘Khok Pa Pek’. This 2-square-kilometers forest locates at 13°44' N latitude and 102°17' E longitude in Watana Nakorn district, Sa Kaeo province.
