In addition, the antioxidant (phosphomo- Dipsacus laciniatus lybdenum, CUPRAC, FRAP, DPPH, ABTS) and enzyme inhibitory activities (α-amylase and tyrosinase), and total (+)-catechin phenolic and flavonoids contents were determined in these plant extracts. The results showed high significant (−)-epicatechin differences among plants (p ≤ 0.05) for the antioxidant capacities measured with the different methods, the Chlorogenic acid enzyme inhibitory activities, and the all identified phenolic compounds except for hyperoside. From a total of 23 Antioxidant activity identified phenolic compounds, 19 were found in both plants. The main flavonoids identified were (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin and hyperoside. (+)-Catechin and (−)-epicatechin showed very high concentrations in D. innoxia (12937.39 ± 108.86 and 24147.64 ± 2512.35 μg/g of dry plant, respectively) and in D. laciniatus (4947.99 ± 14.18 and 13171.30 ± 2410.76 μg/g of dry plant, respectively). Hyperoside had interesting con- tents with comparable values (115.11 ± 16.20 in D. innoxia, and 110.77 ± 16.32 μg/g of dry plant in D. la- ciniatus). The major phenolic acid was chlorogenic acid especially in D. laciniatus (12124.22 ± 598.13 μg/g of dry plant). These compounds were correlated to the high antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities for both species and confirm their medicinal traditional uses. Hence, further screening of bioactive compounds in dif- ferent organs such as flowers and roots of these plants is crucial for the discovering of new source of natural antioxidants and enzyme inhibitors. 1.

Seeds and leaves were collected from El-Obied, North Kordofan State, Sudan, in October, 2016. The aqueous and methanol extracts were carried out by using maceration method and soxhelt apparatus respectively. Sixty five male albino wister rats, three months old and with an average body weight ranged 110-120 g, were randomly divided into thirteen groups, consisting of five rats in each group. Group 1 served as control and fed with normal rats food and water for thirty days. Groups 2, 6 and 10 administered aqueous seeds extract, groups 4, 8 and 12 received methanol seeds extract, groups 3, 7 and 11 received aqueous leaves extracts, groups 5, 9 and 13 received methanol leaves extract, all the groups received the same type of extract were administered 40, 60 and 80 mg/ kg body weight respectively. The extracts administered to the rats intra gastrically using cathodal tube daily for thirty days.

Many medicinal plants are also in trouble from over harvesting and destruction of habitat. Population growth, urbanization and the unrestricted collection of medicinal plants from the wild is resulting in an over-exploitation of natural resources. Therefore, the management of traditional medicinal plant resources has become a matter of urgency. An ever increasing demand of uniform medicinal plants based medicines warrants their mass propagation through plant tissue culture strategy. Tissue culture technology is potent and has opened extensive areas of research for biodiversity conservation. Tissue culture protocols have been developed for a wide range of medicinal plants, which includes endangered, rare and threatened plant species. Some of these medicinal plants are Saussaurea lappa, Picorrhiza kurroa, Ginkgo biloba, Swertia chirata, Gymnema sylvestre, Tinospora cordifolia, Salaca oblonga, Holostemma, Celastrus paniculata,, Oroxylum indicum, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Tylophora indica, Bacopa mooniera, Rauwolfia serpentina.

Box 427, Lekhnath, Kaski, NEPAL Monographs on Datura stramonium L Submitted By Bhakta Prasad Gaire Bachelor in Pharmaceutical Sciences (5th Batch) Roll No. 29/2005 [2008] [TYPE THE COMPANY ADDR ESS ] A Plant Monograph on Dhaturo (Datura stramonium L.) Prepared by Bhakta Prasad Gaire Roll No. 29/2005 Submitted to The School of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences Pokhara University, Dhungepatan-12, Lekhnath, Kaski, NEPAL 2008 ii PREFACE Datura was quite abundantly available in my village (Kuwakot-8, Syangja) since the days of my ancestors. Although it's medicinal uses were not so clear and established at that time, my uncle had a belief that when given along with Gaja, it'll cure diarrhea in cattle. But he was very particular of its use in man and was constantly reminding me not to take it, for it can cause madness. I, on the other hand was very curious and often used to wonder how it looks and what'll actually happen if I take it. This curiosity was also fuelled by other rumours floating around in the village, of the cases of mass hysteria which happened when people took Datura with Panchamrit and Haluwa during Shivaratri and Swasthani Puja. It was in 2052 B.S (I was in class 3 at that time) when an incident happened. One day I came earlier from school (around 2'0 clock), only to find nobody at home. The door was locked and I frantically searched for my mother and sister, but in vain.

Abstract Background and objectives: Datura innoxia Miller is one of the two species of Datura (Solanaceae) which grow in Iran. There are many reports of the biological activities of Datura and in the present study the ability of Datura innoxia for inhibiting angiogenesis was evaluated. Methods: The methanol extract and petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol fractions of Datura innoxia flowers were obtained by maceration method. The extract and fractions were further evaluated for their cytotoxicity and anti-angiogenesis properties in HUV-EC-C cells through MTT and wound healing assays, respectively. Results: The methanol extract and the petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol fractions were cytotoxic to HUV-EC-C cells (IC50 11.25, 63.3, 8.75 and 9.27 μg/mL, respectively). The chloroform fraction demonstrated the most anti-angiogenesis activity in the wound healing assay. Conclusion: Evaluating the above activities of the compounds isolated from Datura innoxia might be a proper follow up of the present study. Keywords: angiogenesis, Datura innoxia, HUV-EC-C, MTT assay, wound healing assay Introduction acids, such as tropic, atropic, cinnamic, angelic, Datura (Solanaceae) was originally found in tiglic, senecioic, isovaleric, and truxillic acids Asia.

It has been recorded as a new alien species to the vascular flora ofBosnia and Herzegovina. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, D. innoxia is reported from two localities in the city of Mostar where the species has escaped cultivation and established small populations in surrounding ruderal habitats including waste land. The species is toxic to animals and humans. The paper presents a short morphological characteristic and photographs as well as the distribution of the species in the Bosnia and Herzegovina. Keywords: alien plants, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Datura, distribution, garden escape, morphology. Introduction The genus Datura L. belongs to the tribe Datureae G. Don, of Solanaceae. There are about 10 species which occur naturally in south-western USA and Mexico, and parts of Central America (Dupin & Smith 2018). Within the genus Datura, only six species have been recorded as escapees in Europe of which four have been reported in the Balkans: Datura ferox L., Datura innoxia Mill., Datura metel L. and Datura stramonium L.

Seeds and leaves are used for treating various ailments. Four commonly occurring Datura species were considered for morphometric analyis to supplement precise variability in statistical terms to taxonomy. For each quantitatiave trait an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test is conducted to test whether the means of three or more groups are the same. Turkey-Kramer test of individual charecteristics provided support to species wise grouping that indicate significant differncences among populations. Among fifteen traits measured, at least 13 traits vary between any two species. Cluster analysis reveals that D. metel and D. innoxia has related origin, D. stramonium and D. ferox forms separate group. Keywords: Datura; Morphometric analysis; ANOVA; Cluster have small black seeds. However, due to similarity in appearance of analysis plants, seeds of all species generally get mixed up, when collecting from the wild.
