Journal Title: Journal of Herbal Drugs - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & Aim: Allium sativum commonly known as garlic is an herb used over years to prevent from various ailments such as cardiovascular diseases, cognitive disorders and also enhances the immune system. The aim of the present study is to study the in vitro antiarthritic and antihemolytic potential of garlic in aqueous and methanolic extracts. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was performed to study the presence of functional groups. Experimental: The study involved detection of primary and secondary metabolites in allium sativum i.e garlic. In vitro antiarthritic and heat induced haemolytic assay was evaluated so that it could be used against haemolytic diseases such as malaria, swine flu etc. FTIR spectra were performed to detect the presence of functional groups. Results: Natural products due to their immense bioactivity, finds applications against various diseases without having side effects. Recommended applications/industrie: This herb is very easily accessible and is edible it can be used as a pharmaceutical agent. Bioactive constituents can be isolated and explored for further activity.
