  • Phytochemical Composition and Pleotropic Pharmacological Properties of Jamun, Syzygium Cumini Skeels
    Review Article Phytochemical Composition and Pleotropic Pharmacological Properties of Jamun, Syzygium Cumini Skeels Ganesh Chandra Jagetia* Department of Zoology, Mizoram University, Aizawl-796004, India Abstract Plants have been employed as medicine since time immemorial, and there has been a recent resurgence in the use of plants as medicines due to their little or no toxicity at the doses used for treatment of different ailments. This review discusses in detail the phytochemical and pharmacological activities of Jamun (Syzygium cumini), a tree belonging to family Myrtaceae, which has been credited with several medicinal properties in the traditional system of medicine, the Ayurveda. The different properties attributed to Jamun are sweet, sour, astringent, ac- rid, refrigerant, carminative, diuretic, and digestive. Research and practical use in traditional medicinal systems have found Jamun to be effective in treating leucorrhoea, gastric disorders, fever, diabetes, piles, stomachache, wounds, and dental, digestive and skin disorders. Some compounds in Jamun have antioxidant, antimicrobial, an- tiallergic, antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, anticancer, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and radioprotective activity. Finally, Jamun has been found to contain phytochemicals including anthroquinones, al- kaloids, catechins, flavonoids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, tannins, saponins and cardiac glycosides. The diverse activities of Jamun may be due to its abilities to scavenge free radicals, increase antioxidant status of cells by increasing glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and/or superoxide dismutase, and to attenuate lipid per- oxidation. In addition, it also suppresses the transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor, Nuclear factor kappa B, cyclooxygenase, inducible nitric oxide synthase, tumor necrosis factor alpha and other proinflam- matory cytokines, accompanied by the up-regulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 transcription, which is involved in regulating the antioxidant status of the cells.

  • Nomenclature of Syzygium Gracile (Myrtaceae)
    BLUMEA 48: 489 – 490 Published on 28 November 2003 doi: 10.3767/000651903X489456 NOMENCLATURE OF SYZYGIUM GRACILE (MYRTACEAE) J.F. VELDKAMP Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY Syzygium glabratum is the correct name for Syzygium gracile. Key words: Syzygium glabratum, Syzygium gracile, Syzygium ramosissimum, Myrtaceae, Malesia. Ms. Amshoff (1945) coined the combination Syzygium gracile (Korth.) Amshoff, based on Jambosa gracilis Korth. (1847). She cited an apparently earlier place where the combination would have been made: the ‘Noodflora voor Java’ (1944). However, all new taxa and combinations found there must be regarded as invalid, as the Noodflora was prepared to safeguard Backer’s manuscripts in a number of places. Hence the publication in 1945 was necessary to validate some new names and taxa. However, Amshoff also cited Myrtus glabrata Blume (1826–1827: 1083, ‘1088’), which is a later homonym of M. glabrata Sw. (1788). She was apparently not aware that Blume’s taxon was given a valid name, Jambosa glabrata, by De Candolle (1828), i.e. older than Korthals’ name. Syzygium gracile (Korth.) Amshoff is superfluous: ‘glabratum’ should have been used, as there seems to be no Syzygium glabratum then and now (IPNI, May 21, 2003). The synonymy of the taxon is: Syzygium glabratum [Blume] (DC.) Veldk., comb. nov. Myrtus glabrata Blume, Bijdr. 17 (1826–1827) 1083, non Sw. (1788). — Jambosa glabrata DC., (1828) 287. — Clavimyrtus glabrata Blume (1850) 114. — Eugenia blumeana Kuntze (1891) 239, nom. nov., non E. glabrata DC. (1828). — Lectotype of Clavimyrtus Blume, designated by Merr.

  • Syzygium and Related Genera (Myrtaceae) in Auckland
    12 SYZYGIUM AND RELATED GENERA (MYRTACEAE) IN AUCKLAND R.O. Gardner The Australian members of this alliance have been expertly revised by Hyland (1983) making it possible to improve acquaintance with the five species in Syzygium Acmena and Waterhousea that are grown in Auckland for ornament and shelter. These are essentially trees of warm latitudes along Australias eastern coast but they find our climate and probably richer soils congenial and often it seems grow better here than in their homeland. None however have properly naturalized though undispersed juveniles and a few adults do occur. The disposition into genera is based largely upon characters of the. fruit and seed. What appears to be a simple baccate "monkey apple" may conceal unusual features like ruminate cotyledons or a missing seed coat so the fruits of these species produced here in abundance are very interesting to dissect and compare. Leaf silhouettes of the five Australian species are shown in Figure IA. Acmena smithii lillipilli monkey apple (NZ) Very common around Auckland as a street or specimen tree and in hedges. Seedlings occur close to the plantings but most succumb to scale and thrips. Some of the seedlings at Purewa cemetery have a lignotuber unlike most Australian forms of the species (Figure IB). Waterhousea floribunda weeping lillipilli (formerly Syzygium floribundum Eugenia ventenatii) Only seen in a few old gardens e.g. at Highwic The Pines Western Park being fine trees to c. 15 m tall 80 cm dbh and especially beautiful in spring with their pendent new foliage of pink and yellow; a species which should be much more often grown in this country.

The results showed that, the highest percentage of total phenols and tannins in Syzygium aromaticum buds extract, and followed by Myrtus communis leaf extract and finally Psidium guajava leaf extract. The percentages of total flavonoids reached their maximum values in Syzygium aromaticum extract (10.4 %), followed by Psidium guajava leaves (5.5 %), and decreased to the lowest concentration in Myrtus communis leaves (4. 1%). The antioxidant study revealed that, Syzygium aromaticum, Myrtus communi and Psidium guajava plants have high antioxidant activity due to their ability to capture free radicals. The antimicrobial study demonstrated that, the three plant extract have antimicrobial effects against many pathogenic bacterial strains. Therefore, it is recommended to use the three plants under studied as antioxidant and antibacterial.

  • CHEMICAL COMPOSITION and CONTENT of ESSENTIAL OIL from the BUD of CULTIVATED TURKISH CLOVE (Syzygium Aromaticum L.)
    PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE ncsu.edu/bioresources CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND CONTENT OF ESSENTIAL OIL FROM THE BUD OF CULTIVATED TURKISH CLOVE (Syzygium aromaticum L.) M. Hakkı Alma,a* Murat Ertaş,a Siegfrie Nitz,b and Hubert Kollmannsbergerb In this study, clove bud oil, which was cultivated in the Mediterranean region of Turkey, was provided from a private essential oil company in Turkey. Essential oil from clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.) was obtained from steam-distillation method, and its chemical composition was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The results showed that the essential oils mainly contained about 87.00% eugenol, 8.01% eugenyl acetate and 3.56% β-Caryophyllene. The chemical composition of the Turkish clove bud oil was comparable to those of trees naturally grown in their native regions.
