It has many pharmacological properties including anti-microbial, anti-cancer, wound healing and anti-septic. The present study is a combined study consisting reviewing the anti-microbial spectrum of Tridax procumbens L. (Vishalyakarani) and quantification of flavonoids and phenols from its leaves especially from the Gandhamardhan hill, Odisha. This aims to equip researchers a useful data about the chemical contents of T. procumbens. The extract was prepared by using Soxhlet extractor and concentrated by distillation. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, phenols in extract and quantification by the high-throughput nine sixty well plate method. The review process yielded 748 research papers and after thorough discussion 81 papers were selected. The plant has many chemical compounds including flavonoids, essential oils, phenols and wide range of pharmacological activities from which we have included the anti-microbial activities. Historically and from Ramayana we have heard about the effectiveness of the Vishalyakarani in wound healing and in present review proves its worth. But there was a lack of quantification of two important phyto contents and it’s done by high-throughput 96-well plate method.","PeriodicalId":14070,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Herbal Medicine","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135800867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was done to investigate the cough suppression potential of Korean Red Ginseng extract in Guinea Pigs. The animals exhibiting 10-20 bouts of cough were selected for the study. The selected animals were randomly allotted to 5 groups (n=5 per group). The animals were treated orally: group 1, being the control, received 2ml of normal saline, group 2 received 25 mg/kg of dihydrocodeine, group 3 received 150 mg/kg of Korean Red Ginseng extract, group 4 received 300 mg/kg of the extract and group 5 received 600 mg/kg of the extract. An hour after administration, they were re-exposed to citric acid aerosol, and the latency of cough and cough count were recorded. The procedure was repeated after 2 hours and after 3 hours of treatment. The antitussive activity was then evaluated in each guinea pig as the percentage reduction in the number of coughs also known as percentage suppression of cough and percentage increase in latency of cough. The results revealed that Korean Red Ginseng extract exhibited a dose-dependent percentage increase in cough latency period as well as a percentage increase in suppression of cough which were inferior to dihydrocodeine, but significantly greater than normal saline and basal levels. It is probable that the Korean Red Ginseng extract possesses cough suppression and central nervous system effects similar to that of dihydrocodeine.","PeriodicalId":14070,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Herbal Medicine","volume":"291 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
