Indonesia is one of the countries where most people still use traditional medicine, especially in Bali. The traditional Balinese plant-based medical system that has existed for a long time and is still inherited today is Usada Taru Pramana. One of the many plants found in Usada Taru Pramana is the Euphorbiaceae. Objective: This work aims to review some of the Euphorbiaceae plants written in Usada Taru Pramana, which have a variety of potential pharmacological activities. Method: This article review using a primary and secondary data sources. Results: Some parts of the Euphorbiaceae plants in Usada Taru Pramana contain important phytochemical constituents such as phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and essential oils. Some of the potential pharmacological activities that have been tested are anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial. Conclusion: The Euphorbiaceae plants in Usada Taru Pramana have a variety of phytochemical constituents and correlates with its pharmacological activities. Further research needs to be conducted to explore other Euphorbiaceae plants species in Usada Taru Pramana to find compounds and other pharmacological activities to deal with various diseases in the community. Keywords: Usada Taru Pramana, Euphorbiaceae, Phytochemical Constituents, Pharmacological Activities. INTRODUCTION World Health Organization (WHO) and compiled into a text of medical states that up to 65% of the world's knowledge, how to concoct medicine, how population uses traditional medicines and to treat or treat traditionally or traditional medicines from natural ingredients Balinese medicine[2]. The word Usada (Kemenkes RI 2007)[1]. Indonesia is one of comes from the word ausadhi (Sanskrit), the countries where most people still use which means plants that contain medicinal traditional medicine and have a variety of properties. There are various types of traditional medical systems based on Lontar Usada, one of which is Lontar natural ingredients, especially in Bali. The Usada Taru Pramana. Taru pramana is use of plant-based medicines is a popular derived from the word “taru”, meaning approach to health care in Indonesia, plant and “premana” means strength or especially Bali. The traditional Balinese efficacy. Usada Taru Pramana is a plant-based medical system that has papyrus that tells the plants to come to existed for a long time and is still inherited Mpu Kuturan to express their respective today is Usada Bali. Usada is a term for properties that can be used as medicines[3]. the Balinese system of treatment written on Usada Taru Pramana contains a papyrus with Balinese language and script description of the method of treatment 1 DOI : https://doi.org/10.24843/JPSA.2021.v03.i01.p01 Sentosa, et al.

Parts of contained in Usada Taru Pramana do have plants that can be used in medicine are pharmacological activities and are from the leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, beneficial to health. bark, sap, roots, rhizomes and all parts of the plant. METHODS Usada Taru Pramana consists of This primary data source was obtained approximately 182 plants with diverse from the derivation of Usada Taru properties and uses. These plants come Pramana papyrus by Putra (1999)[8]. This from various family, including Liliaceae, process of finding secondary data sources Fabaceae, Moraceae, Lauraceae, is obtained by searching on google, google Asteraceae, Piperaceae, Zingiberaceae, scholar, and NCBI with the keywords Euphorbiaceae, and others. One of the “phytochemical constituents of Acalypha many plants found in Usada Taru hispida, Antidesma bunius, Ricinus Pramana is the Euphorbiaceae. communis, Jatropha curcas, Pedilanthus Euphorbiaceae is a large family of tithymaloides, Aleurites moluccana, and flowering plants with about 300 genera and Sauropus androgynus“ and 8.000 species. This allows the “pharmacological activities of Acalypha Euphorbiaceae plants to be the largest hispida, Antidesma bunius, Ricinus plant with many species. The implication communis, Jatropha curcas, Pedilanthus is that there is a higher chance that some tithymaloides, Aleurites moluccana, and species of plants will have medicinal Sauropus androgynus“.

Food items like wheat, rice, vegetables etc. have also been imported from other countries along with the daily essentials in India,. Time to time foreign nationals, Indian kings, leaders and common people have also directly or indirectly imported foreign plants into India and the number of foreign plants has increased continuously from ancient times to the present time. Nowadays, whether it is a garden or farms or an unusable ground, everywhere foreign plants have occupied. Our homes, institutions and plains are full of alien plants than Indian plants. All these exotic plants are flourishing in the Indian climate and are slowly ending or destroying the Indian plants. In the year 2019-20, a continuous survey was conducted to assess the encroachment of foreign plants in the Bareilly College, Bareilly campus.

Jain National Institute of Miners’ Health, JNARDDC Campus, Wadi Nagpur-440023, Maharashtra, India *Corresponding Author: [email protected] [Accepted: 03 December 2016] Abstract: Lectins or glycoproteins from the leaves of Euphorbia tithymalo were isolated after screening of different flora from Central India. The crude extract of leaves was dialyzed andammonium sulfate precipitation done and followed by dialysis for the purification of lectins. Protein concentration in the purified extract was 10 mg.ml-1 measured by Biuret Method. The purified lectins were able to agglutinate human erythrocytes of ABO blood group system. Agglutination was also visible with animal erythrocytes. Lectin of ET was Galactose/Lactose specific and shows maximum activity at pH-7 and temperature between 40–60º C. Molecular weight of purified extract of ET was determined by 1D- SDS Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which was found to be 70.24, 28.53 and 14.68 kDa.
