Abstract

Abstract: Ethnopharmacological relevance: Mesua ferrea Linn. belonging to family Guttiferae. The plant widely grows in the hills and is planted in gardens in many parts of India. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant because of its graceful shape, pink to red hanging leaves and enormous wonderful, fragrant white blossoms. The current review summarizes different significant, fundamental and medicinal properties of this Indian therapeutic herb. It is known to be an evergreen tree 20-30 m in height. Along with its elaborate utilization, entire plant has different therapeutic values in the conventional system of drugs. The main aim of this review is to provide a brief overview of the pharmacological, phytochemical, pharmacognostic, ethanomedical and toxicological studies of M. ferrea. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted using multiple search sites such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Springer, and Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, SciFinder, etc. Other literary sources include Wikipedia, ethnobotanical books, and botanical journals. Numerous phytochemicals have been discovered and isolated from Mesua ferrea plant parts which include xanthones, terpenoids, sterol, β-amyrin, β-sitosterol, mesuaferrol, mesuaferrin-A, mesuaferrin B, caloxanthone C,1,8-dihydro-3-methoxy-6- methylanthraquinone, friedelin, fats, flavanoids and betulinic acid. All of the documented pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant and antibacterial activity, antiarthritic, antiinflammatory, antivenom, antiulcerogenic, anticonvulsant, wound healing, depressant, analgesic are due to the presence of certain phytochemical substances.

铁杉的民族药理、植物化学及药理特性研究进展。

摘要:民族药理学相关性:铁蒺藜;属于木虱科。这种植物广泛生长在山上，在印度许多地方的花园里也有种植。它是一种观赏植物，因为它的形状优美，粉红色到红色的垂叶和巨大的美丽，芳香的白色花朵。目前的综述总结了不同的重要意义，基本和药用性质的印度治疗草药。众所周知，它是一种常青树，高度为20-30米。随着其被广泛利用，整个植物在常规药物体系中具有不同的治疗价值。本文综述了铁芽孢杆菌的药理、植物化学、生药学、乙醇医学和毒理学等方面的研究进展。使用PubMed、Google Scholar、Springer、Science Direct、Scopus、Web of Science、SciFinder等多个搜索网站对文献进行了全面的综述。其他文献来源包括维基百科、民族植物学书籍和植物学期刊。从铁杉属植物中已发现和分离出大量的植物化学物质，包括山酮类、萜类、甾醇、β-amyrin、β-谷甾醇、甲铁酚、甲铁蛋白a、甲铁蛋白B、卡氧蒽酮C、1,8-二氢-3-甲氧基-6-甲基蒽醌、叶黄素、脂肪、类黄酮和白桦酸。所有记录的药理学活性，如抗氧化和抗菌活性，抗关节炎，抗炎，抗蛇毒，抗溃疡，抗惊厥，伤口愈合，抑郁，镇痛都是由于某些植物化学物质的存在。本文主要从植物化学成分、民族医药用途、药理活性及其发展前景等方面对铁杉属植物进行了综述。铁杉在传统的印度体系中非常重要。需要更多的研究来揭示铁质蕨在医学实践中的重要特征。
