  • Phylogenetic Relationships Among the Mangrove Species of Acanthaceae Found in Indian Sundarban, As Revealed by RAPD Analysis
    Available online a t www.pelagiaresearchlibrary.com Pelagia Research Library Advances in Applied Science Research, 2015, 6(3):179-184 ISSN: 0976-8610 CODEN (USA): AASRFC Phylogenetic relationships among the mangrove species of Acanthaceae found in Indian Sundarban, as revealed by RAPD analysis Surya Shekhar Das 1, Swati Das (Sur) 2 and Parthadeb Ghosh* 1Department of Botany, Bolpur College, Birbhum, West Bengal, India 2Department of Botany, Nabadwip Vidyasagar College, Nadia, West Bengal, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT RAPD markers were successfully used to identify and differentiate all the five species of Acanthaceae found in the mangrove forest of Indian Sundarban, to assess the extent of interspecific genetic diversity among them, to reveal their molecular phylogeny and to throw some light on the systematic position of Avicennia. The dendrogram reveals that the five species under study exhibits an overall similarity of 60.7%. Avicennia alba and A. officinalis (cluster C1) have very close relationship between them and share a common node in the dendrogram at a 73.3% level of similarity. Avicennia marina and Acanthus ilicifolius (cluster C2) also have close relationship between them as evident by a common node in the dendrogram at 71.8% level of similarity. Acanthus volubilis showed 68.1% similarity with cluster C1 and 60.7% similarity with cluster C2. Our study also supported the view of placing Avicennia under Acanthaceae. Regarding the relative position of Avicennia within Acanthaceae, it was shown to be very close to Acanthoideae. In comparison to other species, A. marina showed most genetic variability, suggesting utilization of this species over others for breeding programme and as source material in in situ conservation programmes.

  • Hypoestes Aristata (Vahl) Sol
    Biol Res 43: 403-409, 2010 BHATT ET AL. Biol Res 43, 2010, 403-409 B403R The foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata (Vahl) Sol. ex Roem. & Schult var aristata (Acanthaceae) a widespread medicinal plant species in tropical sub-Saharan Africa: with comments on its possible phylogenetic significance A. Bhatt*, Y. Naidoo and A. Nicholas School of Biological and Conservation Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Westville Campus, Private Bag X54001, Durban, KZN, 4000, South Africa ABSTRACT The micromorphology of foliar trichomes of Hypoestes aristata var. aristata was studied using stereo, light and scanning microscopy (SEM). This genus belongs to the advanced angiosperm family Acanthaceae, for which few micromorphological leaf studies exist. Results revealed both glandular and non-glandular trichomes, the latter being more abundant on leaf veins, particularly on the abaxial surface of very young leaves. With leaf maturity, the density of non-glandular trichomes decreased. Glandular trichomes were rare and of two types: long-stalked capitate and globose-like peltate trichomes. Capitate trichomes were observed only on the abaxial leaf surface, while peltate trichomes were distributed on both adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces. Key terms: Acanthaceae, Glandular trichomes, Hypoestes aristata var. aristata, medicinal plant, Scanning electron microscope. INTRODUCTION zygomorphic flowers supported by prominent bracts and producing explosive capsular fruits. Many studies have The Family Acanthaceae is a large and diverse family of further supported the placement of Hypoestes in a smaller dicotyledonous plants comprising about 202 genera and 3520 clade that includes the prominent genus Justicia (McDade species (Judd et al., 2008); although estimates vary from 2600 and Moody 1999).

Tabibul Islam, Protiva Rani Das, Mohammad Humayun Kabir, Shakila Akter, Zubaida Khatun, Md. Megbahul Haque, Md. Saiful Islam Roney, Rownak Jahan, Mohammed Rahmatullah: Acanthaceae and Asteraceae family plants used by folk medicinal practitioners for treatment of malaria in Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions of Bangladesh ABSTRACT Malaria is a debilitating disease causing high mortality rates among men and women if not treated properly. The disease is prevalent in many countries of the world with the most prevalence noted among the sub-Saharan countries, where it is in an epidemic form. The disease is classified as hypo-endemic in Bangladesh with the southeast and the northeastern regions of the country having the most malaria-affected people. The rural people suffer most from malaria, and they rely on folk medicinal practitioners for treatment, who administer various plant species for treatment of the disease as well as associated symptoms like pain and fever. Plant species have always formed the richest sources of anti-malarial drugs, the most notable being quinine and artemisinin. However, quinine has developed drug-resistant vectors and artemisinin is considered by some to developing initial resistance, particularly in China, where it has been used for thousands of years to combat malaria.

  • Acanthus Ebracteatus Leaf Extract Provides Neuronal Cell Protection Against Oxidative Stress Injury Induced by Glutamate Anchalee Prasansuklab1 and Tewin Tencomnao2*
    Prasansuklab and Tencomnao BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2018) 18:278 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12906-018-2340-4 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Acanthus ebracteatus leaf extract provides neuronal cell protection against oxidative stress injury induced by glutamate Anchalee Prasansuklab1 and Tewin Tencomnao2* Abstract Background: Acanthus ebracteatus (AE), an herb native to Asia, has been recognized in traditional folk medicine not only for its antioxidant properties and various pharmacological activities but also as an ingredient of longevity formulas. However, its anti-neurodegenerative potential is not yet clearly known. This work aimed to evaluate the protective effect of AE leaf extract against glutamate-induced oxidative damage in mouse hippocampal HT22 cells, a neurodegenerative model system due to a reduction in glutathione levels and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methods: Cell viability, apoptosis, and ROS assays were performed to assess the protective effect of AE leaf extract against glutamate-induced oxidative toxicity in HT22 cells. The antioxidant capacity of AE was evaluated using in vitro radical scavenging assays. The subcellular localization of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and the mRNA and protein levels of genes associated with the nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant system were determined to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effect of AE leaf extract. Results: We demonstrated that AE leaf extract is capable of attenuating the intracellular ROS generation and HT22 cell death induced by glutamate in a concentration-dependent manner. Co-treatment of glutamate with the extract significantly reduced apoptotic cell death via inhibition of AIF nuclear translocation. The increases in Nrf2 levels in the nucleus and gene expression levels of antioxidant-related downstream genes under Nrf2 control were found to be significant in cells treated with the extract.

Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. (a) Habit, (b) bud, and (c) flower. 328 Mangrove Guidebook for Southeast Asia Part 2: DESCRIPTIONS – Other ground-dwelling herbs ACANTHACEAE 52 Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. Synonyms : Unknown. Vernacular name(s) : Sea Holly (E), Jeruju (hitam) (Mal.), Jeruju (Ind.), Ô rô (Viet.), Trohjiekcragn pkapor sar, Trohjiekcragn slekweng (Camb.), Ngueak plaamo dok muang (Thai) Description : Acanthus ebracteatus resembles Acanthus ilicifolius (see next page), but all parts are smaller. Flowers measure 2-3 cm and are (usually) white; the fruit is shorter than 2.0 cm; seeds measure 5-7 mm. Flowers have only one main enveloping leaflet, as the secondary ones are usually rapidly shed. The species described by Rumphius as the male specimen of Acanthus ilicifolius was later identified by Merrill as Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. Some authors regard Acanthus ebracteatus, Acanthus ilicifolius and Acanthus volubilis as one highly variable species (e.g. Heyne, 1950). Note that in Acanthus young leaves or leaves on the ends of branches may be unarmed (i.e. without spines), while older specimens may be armed. Ecology : Where this species occurs together with Acanthus ilicifolius the two seem distinct in the characters used in the descriptions, but they are often confused. Flowering usually occurs in June (in Indonesia). True mangrove species. Distribution : From India to tropical Australia, Southeast Asia and the west Pacific islands (e.g. Solomon Islands).

Among these species, A. ilicifolius L. is most common but both Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl. and A. volubilis Wall were recorded as rare and site specific species of the genus Acanthus L.. The field investigation showed A. volubilis Wall. is frequently occur in association with other mangrove species like Heritiera fomes Buch.-Ham., Avicennia officinalis L., Excoecaria agallocha L. as it is a climber species and need a host for its growth. The global distribution of these species shows they are mostly confined to South Asian countries. The present study emphasizes on taxonomic identification, site distribution, distinguishing and differentiating among the species and analysis of habitat suitability by studying soil physico-chemical requirements of each individual species.

Cameroon. Accepted 2 September, 2013 An ethnobotanical survey was carried out in the Mount Cameroon area, southwest region of Cameroon to determine the uses of different species of the Acanthaceae. An inventory of identified Acanthaceaes used by different individuals and traditional medical practitioners (TMPs) was established from information gathered through the show-and-tell/semi-structured method and interviews during field expeditions. Sixteen villages were selected for this research: Munyenge, Mundongo, Ekona, Lelu, Bokoso, Bafia. Bakingili, Ekonjo, Mapanja, Batoke, Wututu, Idenau, Njongi, Likoko, Bokwango and Upper farms. The study yielded 18 plant species used for treating twenty five different diseases and 16 species with ornamental potentials out of the Acanthaceaes identified. Results revealed that 76% of species are used medicinally, while 34% are employed or used for food, rituals, forage and hunting. The leaves of these species are the most commonly used plant parts. The species with the highest frequency of use was Eremomastax speciosa (Hotsch.) with 29 respondents followed by Acanthus montanus (Nes.) T. Anders. The study reveals the medicinal and socio-cultural uses of the Acanthaceaes in the Mount Cameroon Region and a need for proper investigation of the medicinal potentials of these plants.
