  • A Review on Jasminum Sambac: a Potential Medicinal Plant
    Review article Bimonthly published scientific journal ISSN-2456-7345 A review on Jasminum sambac: A potential medicinal plant Neeraj Mourya*, Devendra Bhopte, Rakesh Sagar Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Gandhi Nagar, Bhopal, MP-462033, India Abstract Plant medicine system is attracting more attention than the allopathic system nowadays, as this system is pollution free, less toxic and without side effects. The dependency on plants urged human beings to identify and classify the plants into different groups such as food plants, poisonous plants and medicinal plants. Jasminum sambac are native of tropical and sub-tropical regions. The Arabian or Tuscan jasmine (Jasminum sambac) is considered as native of the East Indies. But contrary opinions are also found to indicate its original home being the region of west India. The distribution of the genus is wide but majority of the species are centered on India, China and Malaysia. Traditionally Jasminum sambac has been used to treat dysmenorrhoea, amenorrhoea, ringworm, leprosy, skin diseases and also as an analgesic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, sedative, expectorant. This study includes its importance in day to day life and review of Jasminum sambac plant which has immense medicinal properties. Keywords: Medicinal Plant, Jasminum sambac, Phytochemicals, Pharmacological Properties Introduction grown in India, Thailand, China and Philippines [2]. It is an Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in evergreen vine or shrub reaching up to 1-3 m.

Medicinal plants have been one of the richest bio resources for traditional and folk medicines till date. In India, around 20,000 medicinal plants have been recorded however traditional communities are currently using only about 7,000 - 7,500 plants for curing different diseases. The medicinal property of different varieties of Jasminum namely Jasminum grandiflorum (Jajji Mallige), Jasminum sambac cultivar variety (yelu suttina mallige), Jasminum aungustifolium, Jasminum sambac wild variety (Gundu Mallige), Jasminum sambac cultivar variety (suji mallige), Jasminum auriculatum, Jasminum humile (Yellow Jasmine) and Jasminum officinale (Sanna jajji mallige) was studied in the present investigation and the medicinal property of the plant was checked by determining the antioxidant property of methanolic and ethanolic solvent extract from the leaves. The antioxidant property was checked by FRAP assay and it was found that all the samples had higher antioxidant activity when compared to the standard. The antioxidant activity was not much varied with methanol or ethanol solvent as both are polar in nature. The antioxidant activity in all the samples increased with the increase in the concentration of the sample.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

  • Introduction 1 TRADITIONAL MEDICINES Medicinal
    Introduction 1 TRADITIONAL MEDICINES Medicinal plants have played a vital role in nature as a repository of treasures, since times immemorial. Ample of notable modern medicines that have been sequestered in nature, originate from plants (Cowan, 1999). Plant materials have always been an important source to contend many serious diseases all over the world in conventional medical systems and provide solutions for health related issues in developing countries. The human body has a definite physiological reaction when it intakes chemical substances or group of compounds obtained from medicinal plants. These chemical compounds are known as secondary metabolites (Edeoga et al., 2005). In plants, these phytochemicals are classified into two broad categories according to their function in the metabolism process, viz., primary metabolites and secondary metabolites. Phytochemicals or phytoconstituents or plant secondary metabolites are all synonyms. Phytoconstituents are responsible for pharmaceutical activities in plants (Savithramma et al. , 2011). Primary metabolites are necessary to fulfill all metabolic activities which directly regulate growth, nutrition and development process in plants but secondary metabolites do not play a direct role in growth, nutrition and reproduction but have other roles such as allelopathic interactions and protection from herbivory. Primary metabolites include simple carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids , proteins, all types of vitamins and chlorophylls while in secondary metabolites we include alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, antraquinones, phytosteroids, saponins and others (Parekh and Chanda, 2008; Kumar et al. , 2009). To resist and alleviate diverse diseases secondary metabolites are acknowledged suitably and are abundant in medicinal plants. At global level, many vigorous and strong drugs have been extracted from herbal sources.
