Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Anacyclus pyrethrum commonly referred to as ‘Akarkara’ is widely recognized in ayurvedic Indian medicine for its therapeutic benefits. It’s hard, compact, fusiform root was reported to be responsible for its medicinal properties. Various phytochemical and biological assessments have been reported in the literature for the importance of A. pyrethrum. The present study was made to exploit the medicinal properties including antimicrobial effect, antioxidant and anesthetic effect of the root extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum. The results showed effective antioxidant activity against the stable radical DPPH. The antibacterial activity of the root extract is not efficient compared to the standard antibiotics, and the anaesthetic effect of the plant was evaluated against live fish models (cyprinous carpio) with extract of concentrations ranging from 150-400 mg/l. The anesthetized fishes showed a better result at 400 mg/l dose of plant extract, with induction and recovery time between 3 to 5 minutes.
