Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Science Archive - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Many indigenous medicinal plants possess promising therapeutic properties, but experimental demonstration of specific active compound is lacking. Recent research findings suggest that bioactive fractions derived from a reverberated medicinal plant, namely, Helicteres isora (L.) possesses many therapeutic properties. Helicteres isora L., commonly known as Indian Screw Tree is a highly valued medicinal plant in South-East Asia Many indigenous medicinal plants possess promising therapeutic properties, but experimental demonstration of specific active compound is lacking. Recent research findings suggest that bioactive fractions derived from a reverberated medicinal plant, namely, Helicteres isora (L.) possesses many therapeutic properties. Helicteres isora dried fruit solvent extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant and anticancer activity. Acetone fruit extract H. isora showed (96.44%) strong antioxidant activity compared to hexane, and iso-propyl alcohol (IPA). Acetone extract exhibited better cytotoxicity against human lung cancer cells (NCI-H460) whereas; acetone and crude protein extracts showed activity against reactive oxygen species.
