  • Salacia Reticulata Wight: a Review of Botany, Phytochemistry and Pharmacology
    Tropical Agricultural Research & Extension 13(2): 2010 SALACIA RETICULATA WIGHT: A REVIEW OF BOTANY, PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGY KKIU Arunakumara* and S Subasinghe Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Mapalana, Kamburupitiya, Sri Lanka Accepted: 05 April 2010 ABSTRACT Salacia reticulata is a large woody climbing shrub naturally found in Sri Lanka and Southern region of India. It is widely used in treating diabetes, a chronic disorder in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fat due to absolute or relative deficiency of insulin secretion with/without varying degree of insulin resistance. The decoction of S. reticulata roots is also used in the treatment of gonorrhea, rheumatism, skin diseases, haemorrhoids, itching and swelling, asthma, thirst, amenorrhea and dysmenorrheal. Presence of mangiferin (a xanthone from the roots), kotalanol and salacinol (from the roots and stems) have been identified as the antidiabetic principles of S. reticulata. Chemical constituents such as 1,3- diketones, dulcitol and leucopelargonidin, iguesterin, epicatechin, phlobatannin and glycosidal tannins, triterpenes, and 30-hydroxy-20(30) dihydroisoiguesterin, hydroxyferruginol, lambertic acid, kotalagen- in 16-acetate, 26-hydroxy-1,3-friedelanedione, maytenfolic acid have also been detected in the roots of S. reticulata. The antidiabetic property of Salacia is basically attributed to the inhibitory activity of in- testinal enzymes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase). Inhibition of intestinal enzymes delays glucose absorp- tion into the blood and suppresses postprandial hyperglycemia, resulting in improved glycemic control. Furthermore, mangiferin has been reported to inhibit aldose reductase activity delaying the onset or progression of diabetic complications. Though diabetes has now become an epidemic affecting millions of people worldwide, neither insulin nor other modern pharmaceuticals has been shown to modify the course of diabetic complications mainly due to the multifactorial basis that involves both genetic and environmental risk factors.

  • Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Salacia Macrosperma Leaf Extracts
    International Journal of Research Studies in Science, Engineering and Technology Volume 2, Issue 5, May 2015, PP 58-63 ISSN 2349-4751 (Print) & ISSN 2349-476X (Online) Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties of Salacia Macrosperma Leaf Extracts Roopa G, Madhusudhan M.C., Triveni K., Mokaya N.E., Prakash H.S., Geetha N* DOS in Biotechnology, Manasagangotri University of Mysore, Mysore, Karnataka, India *[email protected] Abstract: In the present study experiments were carried out to determine the total phenolic content and their comparative antioxidant activities in relation to phenol content employing Folin-ciocalteu, DPPH, and ABTS assays of the different solvent extracts of the plant S. macrosperma. It was found that on an average, the plant extract with higher levels of phenol content had higher antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activities were found to be highest and lowest at methenolic and hexane extracts, respectively in both the assays. At 1mg/ml concentration, DPPH and ABTS assays showed highest activity in the methanol extract of 84 and 99% respectively. The presence of phenolic compounds was confirmed by HPLC. Keywords: Salacia macrosperma, Antioxidant activity, DPPH assay, ABTS assay, Total phenolic content 1. INTRODUCTION In Siddha and Ayurveda, plants and food extracts were used as preventive measures and rejuvenating agents for the diseases. Charaka and Susruta two of the earlier Indian authors had sufficient knowledge of properties of the Indian medicinal plants. During the past decade there has been an ever increased demand especially from the developed countries for more and more drugs from the plant sources. This revival of interest in plant-derived drugs is mainly due to current widespread belief that green medicine is safe and more dependable than the costly synthetic drugs, many of which having the adverse side effects.

  • Erosion Control on Unconsolidated Volcanic Ash Deposits at Rabaul
    Scientific registration n° : 2146 Symposium n° : 31 Presentation : poster Erosion control on unconsolidated volcanic ash deposits at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea Contrôle de l'érosion sur des dépôts de cendres volcaniques non consolidées à Rabaul, Papouasie, Nouvelle Guinée HUMPHREY Bill (1), IGUA Passinghan (1) (1) Lowlands Agricultural Experiment Station, PO Keravat, ENBP, Papua New Guinea The volcanic ash deposited in and around Rabaul, Papua New Guinea (PNG) in the 1994 eruptions is very erodible. The soil surface is heavily rilled and gullies as deep as 10 m have developed in the fresh ash. In some areas, the disrupted drainage patterns have resulted in erosion of the developed soil under the ash. Civil engineers have determined that the ash bed slopes must be stabilised with vegetation before work to restore Rabaul town can begin. This has prompted a program of plantings on the ash beds aimed at building up soil organic matter and decreasing runoff and ash flow during heavy rainfall. On-going farming systems research into the management of sloping lands, conducted jointly by the PNG Department of Agriculture and Livestock, the IBSRAM PACIFICLAND network, and the EU Pacific Regional Agriculture Programme is providing a variety of strategies to stabilise these ash beds. These strategies include planted hedgerow barriers and living check-dam structures, and cultivated broadacre plantings of appropriate species. Preliminary plantings have shown leguminous ground covers such as Macroptilium atropurpureum and Vigna luteola can be established in the ash. Leguminous trees such as Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis have also been successful. However, the formation of a dense sward and the buildup of organic matter require grasses and durable mulches that are high in tannins.

Lees ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to the members of my supervisory committee, five professors who have contributed unfailingly helpful suggestions during the writing process. I consider myself fortunate to have had the expert guidance of professors Hélène Blondeau, William Calin, David Leverenz, and Jane Moss. Most of all, I am grateful to Dr. Carol J. Murphy, chair of the committee, for her concise editing, insightful comments, and encouragement throughout the project. Also, I wish to recognize the invaluable contributions of Robert Perreault, author, historian, and Franco- American, a scholar who lives his heritage proudly. I am especially indebted to my husband Daniel for his patience and kindness during the past year. His belief in me never wavered. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................ iii LIST OF FIGURES .................................................... vii ABSTRACT.......................................................... viii CHAPTER 1 SITING THE FRANCO-AMERICAN NOVEL . 1 1.1 Brief Overview of the Franco-American Novel of New England . 1 1.2 The Franco-American Novel and the Ideology of La Survivance ..........7 1.3 Framing the Ideology of La Survivance: Theoretical Approaches to Space and Place ....................................................13 1.4 Coming to Terms with Space and Place . 15 1.4.1 The Franco-American Novel and the Notion of Place .
