A Critical Analysis of Highlighting the Discoveries of the
Nominee
IN VIVO, IN VITRO AND BIOACTIVITY STUDIES OF TRADITIONAL
AND ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT MEDICINAL PLANTS
Despite the increasing use of medicinal plants, their future,
seemingly, is being threatened by complacency concerning their
conservation. Reserves of herbs and stocks of medicinal plants in
developing countries are diminishing and in danger of extinction as a
result of growing trade demands for cheaper healthcare products and
new plant-based therapeutic markets in preference to more expensive
target-specific drugs and biopharmaceuticals.
To cope up with this alarming situation, the Plant biotechnology
played important role in the mass multiplication and provide source
for extraction of secondary metabolites.
Therefore, the major objectives of the my research programme is
to select important medicinal plants for in vitro propagation, extraction
and
evaluation
of
antioxidant
activity,wound
healing
and
hepatoprotective activity and antibacterial properties.
In the present investigation two medicinal plant spices such as
Mollugo nudicaulis Lam - a traditionally important medicinal plant and
Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.- an endangered multipotential medicinal
plant have been selected.
M. nudicaulis (Molluginaceae) is a traditionally important wild
medicinal herb. The leaves are used by Indian traditional practitioners
for curing several disorders including whooping cough, jaundice and
as antiseptic Although it is distributed in different geographical
locations, collection of the plant material for extraction of drugs is a
major task as this small herb grows only in localized areas during
rainy season.
Curculigo orchioides Gaertn. (Hypoxidaceae) is a valuable wild,
endangered medicinal plant Indiscriminate and over exploitation also
pushed this plant to the present threatened and endangered status.
The PhD work emphasis on the following aspects
I.
In vitro studies of Mollugo nudiculis Lam.
II.
In vitro studies of Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.
III.
Comparative bioactivity studies using native (in vivo ) plant
parts and in vitro derived callus extracts for
1. Antioxidant activity using in vitro assays
2. Hepatoprotective activity using animal models
3. Wound healing Activity using animal models
4. Antibacterial activity using pathogenic bacteria.
Innovative Contributions of the Nominee to the
Society
Herbal drugs have been extracted from plant cultivated in fields or from their natural
habitats. It has been reported that nearly 85% of plants used traditionally as
ingredients in crude drugs are collected from natural habitats (22). Endemicity,
restricted distribution, small population, availability in particular season have caused a
decline in wild population. To overcome these, in vitro cultures could be used as
alternative method. From our results, it can be suggested that in vitro derived callus
of M. nudicaulis and Curculigo orchioides could be used as alternative to field grown
plant for extraction of secondary metabolites throughout season.
And also this
biotechnological approaches help for conservation of the medicinal plants
The in vitro derived calli have shown a remarkable for
1. Antioxidant activity using in vitro assays
2. Hepatoprotective activity using animal models
3. Wound healing Activity using animal models
4. Antibacterial activity using pathogenic bacteria
and therefore hold promise for treating various ailment in humans after careful
clinical evaluation studies
The demand for herbal remedies has been increasing significantly. Constant
demands for some of the medicinal plants have affected their availability to a large
extent for extraction of secondary metabolites.
The present findings are important and have implications in
modern biotechnology, which can offer highly active antioxidants and
antibacterial compounds for which there is great demand throughout
the season. The protocol developed in the present investigation may
serve as a basic tool for further exploitation of these two medicinal
plants for further pharmacological applications and conservation for
future needs.
