Pharmacological studies on seeds of Alangium salvifolium Linn. (1/1)
The seeds of Alangium salvifolium Linn. have been traditionally reported to exhibit a variety of biological activities, including antidiabetic, anticancer, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, laxative, and antiepileptic activities. The objective of this study was to verify the traditional claims and to evaluate the seeds of Alangium salvifolium in various organic extracts to screen the antidiabetic, antiepileptic, analgesic and antiinflammatory activities. The chloroform, ethanol, and water extracts of Alangium salvifolium seeds were obtained and subjected for phytochemical screening and evaluated for their pharmacological activities. From the acute toxicity study it was observed that chloroform, ethanol, and aqueous extracts of Alangium salvifolium seeds are non-toxic at a fixed dose of 2000 mg/kg. Among all three extracts ethanol extracts exhibited significant (p < 0.01) antidiabetic, antiepileptic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, terpenoids, steroids and tannins. The results of present study verified the traditional claims made by ayurvedic practitioner. However, the chemical constituents responsible for the pharmacological activities remain to be investigated. (+info)Alangiaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes around 25 species in two genera: Alangium and Metalangium. These plants are primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, particularly in Asia, Australia, and America.
The plants in this family are typically small trees or shrubs, although some can be climbers. They have simple, alternate leaves that are often aromatic when crushed. The flowers are small and usually arranged in clusters, with both male and female parts present in each flower (perfect flowers). The fruit is a drupe, which contains one to four seeds enclosed in a hard or leathery coat.
Some species of Alangium have medicinal uses. For example, the bark of Alangium lamarckii has been used in traditional medicine to treat fever, pain, and inflammation. However, it is important to note that the use of these plants as medicine should only be done under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional, as they can also have toxic effects if not used properly.

- Finally Iodes ferruginea, described in Icacinaceae appeared to belong in Alangiaceae, and as the name ferruginea was occupied in Alangium it is changed into A. strigosum, nom. (naturalis.nl)

- Alangium, previously included under Cornaceae, is now placed in a unigeneric family, Alangiaceae, differing from Cornaceae in its 1-seeded fruit, bitegmic seeds, articulated pedicels and subulate bracts. (efloras.org)

- The fruits show a mosaic combination of features seen in the Cornales family groups Cornaceae/Alangiaceae and Nyssaceae, Mastixiaceae, and Davidiaceae, but does not conform to any one particular family and thus was left as incertae sedis within the order. (kiddle.co)
