Pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of aerial parts of Bignonia alliaceae
... Mansoa alliaceae belongs to the Bignoniaceae family, which is used extensively by many of the indigenous peoples of Amazonia. It is commonly referred to as garlic and Ajossacha [2]. So far, phytochemical studies have shown -inflammatory, antioxidant [3] plant antioxidants and anti -bacterial steroids, beta sitosterol, stigmasterol, daucosterol and fucosterol. ...
Mansoa alliacea Lam. (Family: Bignoniaceae) is a native plant from Amazonian basin in South America. Plant derivatives are used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, antiseptic and anti-bacterial. The study was aimed to determine the pharmacognostic and phy-tochemicals present in Mansoa alliacea. Micro and Organoleptic characteristics of fresh and dried leaf samples had been examined. Physicochemical chemical variables have been done by using WHO suggested variables, preliminary phytochemical of leaf sample had been performed to identify the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and phenols, and quinones using the ethanolic extract of the leaves of M. alliacea.

Over the years, the biological activities of medicinal plants and their compounds have gained considerable research interest due to their specific functional compounds, The novel long chain aliphatic hydroxyl ketones reported from medicinal plants over the past years are increasingly being recognized as new active compounds. The extraction of such active compounds have also attracted special attention recent years. Potent biologically active long chain aliphatic hydroxy ketones, from medicinal plants have been shown to play significant role towards prevention of degenerative diseases such as cancer, inflammation, arthritis, diabetes, parkinson"s disease, alzheimer"s disease, and certain other neurodegenerative disorders. The novel chemical entities drived from medicinal plants as active components for can be used in many industrial applications such as functional foods, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. This review intends to explore such thirty eight long chain aliphatic hydroxy ketones isolated from twenty one different medicinal plants during last fifty years (1960-2010) for their possible application as anticancer, antimicrobial and antioxidant activites.
